EXT. PARKING LOT - AFTERNOON
3:01 p.m.
Marty was squinting her eyes. Ang taas kasi ng sikat ng araw, pero buti na lang hindi masakit sa balat 'yong init. It was also windy so she had her hair tied up in a ponytail. They were walking to the reception to rent out a cottage. Marty was carrying Ambee on her arm, and a bag of their snacks on the other.
Harley noticed how she was covering her face using Ambee to deflect the sunlight, so he removed his cap just to put it on her.
MARTY
Ba't mo pa sinuot sa 'kin? Malapit na tayo sa reception, e. May bubong naman do'n.
HARLEY
Okay lang para 'di ka na masilaw. Akin na 'yang mga pagkain na dala mo.
MARTY
'Wag na! Magaan naman.
HARLEY
Ang dami mong bitbit, e. Hawak mo na si Ambee, may bag ka na, may pagkain pa tapos may tumbler.
MARTY
Kaya ko!
HARLEY
Akin na lang kahit 'yang tumbler.
Marty didn't argue with that because her tumbler was kinda heavy.
HARLEY
Ano pala 'yong sinasabi mo kanina na ibibigay mo?
MARTY
Mamaya.
HARLEY
Mamaya pa?
MARTY
Oo. Mamaya pa namin ibibigay nila Ambee.
HARLEY
Ha? Ano ba 'yon?
Marty hitched her breathe with his query. She doesn't really know why she said that earlier. She has been meaning to give him a hug ever since yesterday. But her impulsive thought was suddenly dawning and it may have probably began pitting in her stomach. It was sunny, but she could almost feel the shiver crawling down her spine.
HARLEY
Marty? Ano ba 'yon? Sabihin mo na. Kahit clue lang.
MARTY
Wala, joke lang pala 'yon. Binabawi ko na.
HARLEY
Ang daya naman. Inaabangan ko, e. Ba't mo binabawi?
MARTY
Tanong ka kasi nang tanong!
HARLEY
Kapag 'di na ako nagtanong, hindi mo na babawiin?
MARTY
Baka.
Harley nodded.
HARLEY
Okay. 'Di na magtatanong.
