Juliana: "I'm Juliana I just came here last month" she stood up then faced the audience. "I-I have no one to take care me back at home, my impoverish family has a huge debt with señor Vicente and I'm here to-to pay him" she looked down. She turns her head to Berlinda "You must be tired, you should take a rest"
Berlinda: "I am not tired anymore" she smiled
Vicente: "Juliana!"
Juliana: "Yes, Señor?"
Vicente: "I will entrust you with teaching Berlinda how this establishment works" she nodded "and I have a guest that will arrive this afternoon, clean everything"
Berlinda & Juliana: "yes señor"
Ricardo: "Señor, there are people who are looking for you outside. They brought sacks of rice with them." Ricardo's face is on Juliana
Vicente: "He arrived too early. Go and let him in!" Ricardo dashed outside
----------------
Ricardo: "Come Señorito, Señor Vicente is waiting for you upstairs"
To Juliana's surprise she saw Angelo coming in, she hid her face
Juliana: she spoke to the audience "That can't be Angelo, right? The Cabeza de Barangay's 2nd son"
Berlinda: "Oh dear Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! What a dashing young man!" Berlinda squealed "Juliana don't hide your face and look at the sweet Turon in front of you!"
Juliana: "shsss...Behave yourself!" Berlinda chuckled
Angelo: "Señor Vicente!"
Vicente: "Señorito Angelo! What a pleasant surprise! You have arrived earlier!"
Angelo: "The delivery of harvested rice cannot be delayed so we have to travel earlier"
Vicente: "Dodong, you look good. Look how fast you grew up! I can barely recognize you!" (Dodong means boy in Bisaya)
Juliana: "I knew him, we were neighbors back in my hometown"
Berlinda: "What a fated reunion you have!" teasing her "oh!" then she realized something "oh.... It's not that fortunate"
Juliana: "I know, I need to hide" she walk away
Berlinda: "Wait-"
Angelo: "Thank you, señor.... You on the other hand looks...." Vicente placed his hands on his waist "you look old" then he laughed
Vicente: "You're still naughty." Then he called "Inday!" (Inday means girl in Bisaya)
Berlinda: "yes señor?"
Vicente: "Where's Jul-"
Berlinda: "She's cleaning somewhere" she fidgeted
Vicente: "Tell her to prepare refreshments, she knows where it was placed and find the cook he must be gambling right now"
Berlinda: "Affirmative señor" then she left
Vicente: "Have a sit Angelo, traveling is tiring" they both sat
------
Berlinda: "Juliana, señor wants you to prepare refreshments"
Juliana: "Can you do it for me?"
Berlinda: "I could if he is not running me with another errand" Juliana rubbed her forehead
Juliana: "Go, do it now the señor hates delays"
Berlinda: "I'm sorry"
Juliana took the Biko and gently placed it in front of them.
Juliana breathe freely when Angelo didn't recognize her and then she left quietly.
