Oh?

5:37 pm
I'll take Rafi today. Naghihintay na ako sa labas ng firm.

5:39 pm
Saw your Jimny here. Nandito ka?

5:41 pm
Yeah. Pumasyal si dad. But you know I can't take her home because we're still on a pretend breakup. Hindi kami nag-u-usap dito.

5:43 pm
Don't worry about it. Sa'yo ko siya ihahatid.

5:45 pm
Thank you, Zy.

5:46 pm
Ayoko lang din na kasama niya si Ace.

5:47 pm
She's our common ground. Pagdating sa kanya, nagkakasundo tayo.

5:48 pm
Syempre.

5:50 pm
Kaya tinuan mo.

5:51 pm
I will. Hindi ko siya sasayangin.

5:53 pm
Tandaan mo, sisinturunin kita.

5:54 pm
Parang hindi 'yan 'yong nakakatuwang sinturon skills.

5:55 pm
Sana matutunan mo akong mahalin, Zy. ☹️

5:56 pm
Puta ka.

5:57 pm
Mag-best friend nga kayo ni Rafaela. 😂

5:58 pm
Pero seryoso, sana magkasundo tayo.

6:00 pm
Gusto ko tanggap ako ng mga tao sa mundo niya. Kaya pagtatrabahuhan ko pati kayo nina Mads at Peyton.

6:01 pm
I won't thank you. I won't be grateful of how you value her. That's what she deserves anyway.

6:02 pm
At palagi kong iisipin na walang karapat-dapat sa kanya. Kahit sino. Kahit ikaw, sa ngayon. But I trust you enough to tolerate your presence. Because Rafi is so protective of your love for her. Kahit hindi namin naiintindihan lahat noon. At kahit ilang beses kong kinwestyon kung bakit. It's like she sees so much in you, at kanya lang 'yon.

6:03 pm
With you, it's like you're speaking a foreign language that only she can understand. And it's untouchable by anyone other than you two. Na parang hindi niyo kailangan kumbinsihin lahat sa pagmamahal na mayro'n kayo. Kasi naniniwala siya, at naniniwala ka.

6:04 pm
And maybe, that's love. When you both understand even when others couldn't. When we couldn't understand but it's so strong that it translates to us too.

6:05 pm
So I hope, you'll continue speaking the language of love for her. For the two of you.

6:06 pm
I will try my best. For her.

6:07 pm
I think I'll be having you around for a very long time, Hudas.

6:08 pm
You will, Zytanas. I'm not going anywhere. 😊
