"Bukas pa naman ang uwi nila."
"Okay."
"Maraming tao doon ngayon..."
"Sure ka bang ayos lang sa 'yo?"
"Sure nga ako!"
"Ayaw mo ba akong isama? Sabihin mo lang..."
"Bubba, of course I want you to be there on my race."
"Pero?"
"But it's not safe..."
"Ang tagal mo nang nagkakarera, I trust you!"
"Saka, ilang beses na rin naman akong tumatambay sa Central..."
"Hay... Okay."
"Wag kang lalayo kay Pancho."
"Yes, Sir!"

Biglang gumuho ang mundo ko nang makita ang sinend sa akin ni Maeve na link...

After I read the article, I looked at him and I saw how his tears kept on falling nonstop from his eyes down to his cheeks. Masyado nang mabilis ang pagpapatakbo niya ng kotse. Natatakot ako pero hindi ko na iyon pinansin pa. We need to get there as soon as possible. I held his hand that was resting on the gear shifter and whispered... "I love you, Bubba... Andito lang ako..."
He glanced at me and a small smile appeared on his lips then we saw a bright light coming from my side...
