FLASHBACK

Alaine Anais Javier
Active Now

MON 5:15 PM

Benjamin Tuviera
How could you, Anna!?

Benjamin Tuviera
Alam mo bang binibili ng anak ko ang oras ko!?

Alaine Anais Javier
Oh? Kasalanan ko bang palagi kang wala?

Benjamin Tuviera
Alam mo kung ano ang totoo!

Benjamin Tuviera
Nilalaro mo kami noon pa. Kinukuha mo sa akin si Anthony, nagsisinungaling ka sa mga importanteng events sa buhay niya para hindi ako makasipot.

Alaine Anais Javier
Bakit kasalanan ko 'yon? You're missing out because you're not checking up on him.

Benjamin Tuviera
I'm missing out because you keep lying and hiding things from me about Anthony!

Benjamin Tuviera
I'll check his schedule, pero wala. I'll ask you, pero babaguhin mo ang sinasabi mo sa akin. Then I'll ask him, and he doesn't want to tell me anymore because he thinks I don't have time for him!

Benjamin Tuviera
Mapagod ka naman.

Alaine Anais Javier
It's the price you both have to pay.

Benjamin Tuviera
Bakit ka naniningil!?

Alaine Anais Javier
You took away everything from me.

Alaine Anais Javier
Kasalanan niyo pareho kung bakit hindi na umangat ang career ko no'ng bumalik ako pagkatapos kong manganak. Kasalanan niyo kung bakit ganito na lang ako. Talunan, naghahanap ng pagmamahal sa mga tao, naghahanap ng pangarap na dapat para sa akin noon pa kung hindi ito nangyari.

Alaine Anais Javier
If you and Anthony didn't happen, I would've shine brightly under the spotlight I deserve.

Benjamin Tuviera
He's a kid, Anna!

Alaine Anais Javier
I was a kid too!

Benjamin Tuviera
You're not! We were both consenting adults when it happened, at ilang taon na tayong magkarelasyon no'n. Alam mong tinanong kita kung gusto mo nang seryosohin 'yong tayo, and you said yes. Kaya walang may kasalanan kung pareho nating ginusto noon.

Alaine Anais Javier
I wanted you, Benj. I didn't ask for the kid!

Benjamin Tuviera
Hindi man planado pero hindi dapat pinagsisisihan si Anthony.

Alaine Anais Javier
You can have him! Pagod na akong magpanggap na isinisingit ko siya sa buhay ko kahit na ang totoo ay wala akong espasyo sa kanya noon pa man!

Alaine Anais Javier
You and Anthony are both a reminder of my failures. And I don't want that.

Benjamin Tuviera
Hindi mo na dapat siya kinuha sa akin, kung ganyan lang pala ang totoong tingin mo sa kanya.

Benjamin Tuviera
Paano mo nagawa 'yan? Why did you make him believe that he is unloved for all these years?

Alaine Anais Javier
Eh 'di linisin mo ang imahe mo sa kanya. Sabihin mo kung ano ang totoo o siraan mo ako. Tutal, pareho naman na tayong sira sa kanya.

Benjamin Tuviera
I'm not like you.

Alaine Anais Javier
Ni hindi niya na tayo tinatawag na mommy at daddy. So you see... there's no going back from this, Benj.

Benjamin Tuviera
I'm not giving up on him.

Alaine Anais Javier
Then he's all yours. I'm done mothering a child that I didn't ask for.
