INT. CAR - AFTERNOON
3:21 p.m.
HARLEY
Ano pala yung sinabi mo kanina? Na may itatanong ka sa akin?
MARTY
Tama ba nakita ko kanina no'ong kumatok ako sa room ninyo? Nakasandal si Ate sa shoulder mo?
HARLEY
Oo. Nakisandal siya.
MARTY
Bakit?
HARLEY
Nahihilo kasi siya. Kulang daw tulog niya kagabi kaya nakisandal lang muna. Papalit-palit siya sa balikat namin kanina ni Winnie.
MARTY
Ah . . . okay.
HARLEY
Bakit, bee?
MARTY
Wala. Okay na.
HARLEY
Sure? Promise?
MARTY
Oo.
HARLEY
Kung bothered ka sa gano'n—
MARTY
Hindi, wala. Okay na.
HARLEY
Promise? Kasi hindi mo naman siguro itatanong sa 'kin 'to kung 'di ka bothered 'di ba?
MARTY
Oo pero na-clarify mo naman na. Kaya ayos na. Masakit ulo ni Ate. Nakisandal siya sa inyo ni Ate Winnie. Okay na.
HARLEY
Sure talaga?
MARTY
Oo nga.
Harley took her hand that was resting on her knees, gently brushing a thumb along her knuckles.
HARLEY
Sige, next time hindi na. Okay?
MARTY
'Wag. Ayos lang. Friends din kayo ni Ate. Unfair—
HARLEY
Hindi. Sorry. Sa susunod hindi na ako papayag.
Marty chewed on her inner lip, and somehow, there was a creasing on her forehead. It shouldn't be this way, but she was cold in her stomach and she couldn't help feeling guilty about it.
