M: Okay. Anong kasalanan mo? *raises an eyebrow at R as they sit beside each other in the dining table while eating breakfast*

R: Ano? Anong kasalanan? Bakit mo naman naisip yun, Love? Aaah... *prods M to open her mouth then feeds her some eggs*

M: *chews the eggs* You're acting weird. *squints her eyes and drums her fingers on the table*

R: Anong weird?

M: Weirdly sweet. Sobrang asikaso mo. Ang OA mag-alaga para akong imbalido eh. Oh ayan. Iinom lang ng tubig dapat ikaw pa hahawak ng baso?

R: Ganito naman ako palagi ah. Alagang 101%. Lagi naman kitang inaalagaan di ba?

M: Oo naman. Para nga akong baby eh. Kaso ito. Simula nang dumating ka kanina from Hong Kong iba eh. May ibang surprise ka pa ba maliban dun sa bracelet?

R: Hala wala na. Nag-eexpect ka pa ba?

M: Hindi naman pero sobrang alaga talaga eh. Halos di na dumampi ang paa ko sa lupa. Kahit saan binubuhat mo ako. Pati kamay ko di ko na halos nagamit hanggang pagtu-toothbrush ba naman ikaw pa din?Ang OA talaga. Yung totoo? Sinong babae mo?

R: Anong sabi mo?! Babae agad? Grabe ka sa akin. Wag ako, Maine. Wag ako. Kahit kailan di ako tumingin sa iba. Niliitan ko ang mundo ko. Kinulong ko ang sarili ko sa bakod para kahit kailan wala kang maging dahilan para magduda sa fidelity ko sa'yo. Masakit ah. Dito. *beats his chest, glares at M and turns his back against her*

M: Love, di naman yun ang ibig kong sabihin.

R: Eh ano?! Sa bibig mo nanggaling! Nagdududa ka. Nakikinig ka na sa iba!

M: Hindi nga. Sorry na. *slips her arms around his waist and hugs him, leaning his cheek on his back* Gusto ko lang malaman why you're extra sweet. Alam ko naman na sobrang faithful mo sa akin at kahit saan ka pa mapunta at sino pa ang kasama mo, ako lang. Ilan beses mo na napatunayan at patuloy na pinapatunayan. I asked the wrong question. I'm sorry. *hugs R tighter and gently rubs his chest over his heart* I'm sorry please know that I believe you. Only you.

R: *sighs, clutches her hand that was on his chest, raises it to his lips and kisses it* Talaga ha?

M: Talaga. Ikaw lang paniniwalaan ko. Sorry na.

R: Kaya ba kitang matiis? *kisses her hand again* Basta alam mong mahal na mahal kita. Ikaw lang.

M: Alam ko. What I said kanina, that was me pushing too far. I never doubted you. Please believe me. I'm really sorry. *sobs*

R: *sighs and quietly sits for a while with his eyes closed, holding her hand*

M: *keeps holding him tight, pressing soft kisses on his back and shoulder, crying silent tears*

R: *sighs* Of course I believe you. *turns to face M and cradles her face in his hands, wipes her tears away and plants a gentle kiss on each eyelid* Always. Ikaw lang paniniwalaan ko. Ikaw din ganoon lang sana lagi.

M: Yes. I promise.

R: *smiles* Good. *kisses her lips* I love you. Ikaw lang. I love you so much, my life.

M: *presses her palms on his cheeks and leans her forehead on his* I love you more and more, my home. Ikaw at Ako lang.

R: *smiles then slowly and gently kisses her lips*
