INT. HUT - EVENING
8:11 p.m.
Mikey
Love?
Are you okay?
Ang quiet mo.
Robin
. . .
Mikey
Love?
Robin tugged on his shirt, scooting more to his space just so she could bury her face on his shoulder.
Mikey
Hey, are you okay?
Robin tried to nod.
Mikey
Sure?
Bakit ka out of breath?
Robin
Nagpa-palpitate kasi ako. Wait lang.
Mikey
Why?
Are you sure you're okay?
Robin
Oo, wait lang.
Robin gripped on the hem of his shirt tighter.
Mikey
Love?
Robin
Kinabahan kasi ako kanina.
Buti dumating ka.
Mikey
Why?
Ano ginawa niya?
Robin
Kanina kasi inakbayan niya ako tapos no'ng sinubukan ko alisin 'yong braso niya sa 'kin, binigatan niya pa para hindi ko matanggal kaya sinabi ko na kung p'wede niya alisin tapos sinabi pa niya para akbay lang naman daw tapos buti raw di daw siya nagnanakaw ng kiss.
Mikey
What the fuck?
Robin
Tina-try kong 'di ipahalata kanina pero kinakabahan talaga ako kasi sumasabay pa siya sa akin maglakad, ang dilim pa naman, kaunti lang 'yong poste tapos malawak 'yong grounds, masyado tayong kalat.
Mikey
I see . . .
Robin
Buti talaga dumating ka.
Mikey sighed, wrapping his arms around her, softly rubbing her arm while dipping a kiss on her hair.
Mikey
It's okay, love.
Buti pala naisipan kong puntahan ka kanina sa quarters ninyo kaya nakasalubong kita do'n. Sorry. Next time sabay na tayo, okay?
Robin
'Di mo naman kasalanan.
Mikey
Still . . .
Robin
Ako dapat 'yong mag-so-sorry sa 'yo kaya kita inaya sa kubo, e. Kasi 'di ako mapakali sa trato kanina ni Sir Rick sa 'yo tapos ayon pa dinatnan mo.
Mikey breathed again.
Mikey
It's okay.
Don't worry about it.
Robin
Kaso hindi, e.
Mikey
Do you want to talk to Kachi and Ate Gigi?
Let's come out with a plan?
She nodded.
Robin
Oo, please.
Ayaw kong maulit 'yong kanina.
Mikey
Okay, wait.
Mikey removed his arm around her and Robin flinched to reach for his arm again.
Robin
Dito ka lang, please.
'Wag ka aalis.
Mikey
Kukuhain ko lang sa bulsa 'yong phone ko, love. I'm just going to message them to come here. Hindi ako aalis, don't worry.
Robin
'Wag ka aalis.
Mikey
Yes, dito lang ako.
Promise.
Robin
Thank you . . .
