M: *still silenty crying*

R: You should go now. Baka hinihintay ka nya. Goodbye Ms. Mendoza, it's been nice knowing you. You'll forgive me if I won't shake your hand anymore, may magagalit na pala. Ingat ka palagi. *turns his back and walks away his cheeks wet with so much tears*

M: *crumples to the ground crying*

R: *locks himself in the room crying, threw his phone on the wall shattering it, sees his jacket that was given to him by M and threw it on the wall, started grabbing anything he could put his hands to and just throwing it to wall, then started punching the table til his knuckles started to bleed* Tangina Bakit, bakit?? Konting panahon lang di mo kinaya? Pinabayaan ba kita?? Bakit?? Tangina! Bakittt?!?! Mahal na mahal kita Maine! Mahal na mahal kita.. *crying so much with anguish* Maine!! Maiiinneee!!!

M: *suddenly waking up from her sleep* uhmm.. huh?

R: *still screaming* Maiineeee! Mahal na mahal kita! Bakit Tangina bakit??? Bakit Maaaineeee!! *his face wet with tears*

M: *suddenly sitting up realizing R is having a nightmare and started shaking him awake* Jay! Jay! Oh my God Jay! Wake up! RJ! *still shaking R*

R: *still dreaming* Maineee.. mahal kita.. *crying*

M: *shaking R harder* Richard please wake up! Richard naman gumising ka! RJ for God's sake wake up!! *started slapping him*

R: *wakes up* Huh? Wha?? Maine?? Maine?? Oh my God! Maine!! *hugs M tightly*

M: Jusko RJ papatayin mo ko sa nerbyos! What happened?? *still being hugged by a crying R very tightly* teka teka di ako makahinga.. too tight Mahal please.. I can't breathe.

R: Oh sorry sorry! *loosens his hold on M* That was a very bad dream! It was a nightmare! God Nicomaine! *hugs M again*

M: Oh.. calm down please Love. Here, *grabs the bottled water from her bedside table* drink this muna. *puts her palm on his chest over his heart* Your heart is racing. Ang lamig mo! Calm down na please Love, yung BP mo. God I think I need to get you to the hospital. I'm getting scared.

R: No I'll be fine. Basta dito ka lang wag kang aalis, wag mo kong iiwan. * hugs M again and kisses her face all over*

M: I'm not going anywhere Mahal. Kalma na please. You're scaring me na eh. Ano ba kasi yun? Bangungot na yan eh! You were screaming my name and crying!

R: Bangungot talaga sya! God what a nightmare! Ayoko ng maulit yun jusko! *rubs his face with both hands*

M: What is it ba? Might help if you talk about it.

R: Payakap muna Mahal ng mahigpit please. *hugs M* It was a very bad nightmare. Horrific! I dreamt na iniwan mo ko. Pinagpalit mo ko sa iba. *starts tearing up again*

M: Oh, oh! What are you talking about? Very bad nightmare nga yan because you know that that will never ever happen!

R: Sobrang bad talaga. We broke up and we're trying to sort it all out, or at least I'm trying to, pero ikaw ayaw mo na. You found someone else, iniwan mo na ko.

M: Mahal, don't you ever for one minute believe that! Don't even think about it! Masamang panaginip, yun lang yun. It will never happen. Hindi talaga yun mangyayari ever kasi, first, look at my hand *holds R's hand to show hers* See what I'm wearing here? these are my wedding rings. You put the first one on me in 2018 when we first got married in private civil rites. The second one was in 2020 when we got married in church in public. So that's twice na that we got married. These rings matches the one on your hand, *touches R's wedding rings* the ones I put on you. Under the law of man and the eyes of God we're husband and wife twice over. *smiles*
