SCRIPT/DIALOGUE
EXT. FELICIA GARDENS LAKE PARK, LAKESIDE BRIDGE — DAY
SANTI
Here.
Ginny looks down at Santi's palm. Her forehead knots upon seeing Santi's old varsity jacket being handed to her.
She accepts it with one hand. Her other hand holds tightly onto the railings of the bridge, overlooking the lake.
GINNY
...For what?
Santi's eyes wander across the park. He rests his elbows on the railings, disregarding Ginny's stare.
SANTI
It's windy.
SANTI
You're wearing a skirt and a tube top.
SANTI
Baka ginawin ka.
His gaze drifts toward the sight of the lake under them.
SANTI
You can wear it on top.
Ginny's eyes remain on Santi who doesn't bother to glance towards her direction.
She feels the fabric—her palm tingles at the sense of familiarity.
Grip tightens. Both on the fabric and the wooden railing of the bridge.
GINNY
(smiles)
I didn't know you still have it. Ako lang yata gumamit nito noong college.
GINNY
How old is this na? 13 years old?
She cracks a laugh, hanging the old clothing on her forearm as she brings her gaze to the lake beneath them once again.
GINNY
Thank you. Kasya pa ba 'to sa'yo?
SANTI
(chuckles)
Probably not.
GINNY
You just kept it for years?
Santi nods. Eyes seemingly magnetized by the lake.
Ginny smiles at that.
She wears the old fabric over her shoulders.
And they stand there, beside each other, enveloped by the silence of their empty thoughts and the rustle of fallen leaves on the wooden bridge.
GINNY
Santi...?
SANTI
Hmm?
