HEY, ILY

Samuel Failon

18 SEPT, 11:49 PM

Seah:

You're awake.

Samuel:

Yeah. Ikaw din.

What are you up to?

Seah:

I can't sleep.

Maybe it's because I'm too frustrated.

Samuel:

Kwento mo.

Seah:

May pasok pa tayo bukas.

And you're prolly busy with games so I'd rather not take that time from you.

Bukas ko na lang ikukwento.

Samuel:

I just turned it off.

Now, tell me.

Seah:

No way.

You're kidding.

Samuel:

Come on.

Let it all out.

'Di ka ba napapagod na kinikimkim mo lahat?

Seah:

I used to keep it all by myself

Yes, I got tired

But now I found someone who can listen to me and I'm grateful

But aren't you tired of hearing my problems, Samuel?

Samuel:

I'm not

Kaibigan naman kita

I'll never get tired of listening

Seah:

Actually, can I curse a lot?

Because I'm so fucking frustrated.

Samuel:

Should I just call you?

It'll be easier.

Seah:

'Wag na. Naiiyak ako. I don't want you to hear that.

Samuel:

Okay.

Spill?

You can curse all you want.

Seah:

My mother.

She rarely calls me.

She called me six fucking times earlier and I purposely didn't answer them.

It's really shit kasi anyone who sees that her mother just called would probably be happy and excited

Pero tangina I'm not that "anyone"

And that's because I know that she only calls me because she fucking needs something from me or because she needs me to do something for the company 🙃

It's just fucked up. Ito 'yung mga pagkakataon na iniisip kong mas mabuti na lang sigurong wala na lang akong ina.

Samuel:

Has it been like that for years?

Seah:

Yeah, ever since my parents separated

Samuel:

Confront her.

Seah:

I did.

Dati, oo, sinubukan ko.

But she still treats me the same and tells me that it is what's best for the company

Samuel:

You're her daughter.

Why won't she listen to you?

Seah:

Ang hirap ko yatang intindihin, e.

Samuel:

Fuck.

I'll call you.

Seah:

Ayoko nga

Samuel:

I want you to feel that I'm really listening.

Video call, pwede rin.

Seah:

I know that you're listening.

Samuel:

Pumayag ka na, please?

You told me that there's no one who listens to you.

That's why I want to call you. I want to hear your voice and your thoughts. I'll listen to you

And also so I could say something

Seah:

You're really the nicest person I know, Samuel.

Samuel:

Trust me, I'm not.

Sige, tatawagan na kita.

The call ended. 39 mins 45 secs
Call again?

Seah:

Goodnight, Samuel.

Thank you sa lahat.
