Girl1: "Infiltrate the athletes' dorm and get the panties of the girl you like" was a great idea by Mika.
Girl2: Aly went to Den's room?
Girl3: She went in it's been confirmed!
Girl4: Girls, our plan was a success!
Ella: Mabuti nalang at magaling mag isip ng plano ang babaeng to.
Girl5: We should take a bath or we'll get cold.
------------------
Den: Did you come to my room to take my panties?
Aly: Huh?
Den: Just kidding.. (napasmile sya ng konti)
Den: That girl you like isn't here in the dorm. Everyone's fine so you came into my room, right?
Biglang hinawakan ni Aly yung dibdib nya at napaupo sya sa sahig na nakayuko ang ulo. Kinabahan naman si Den sa nangyari.
Den: Aly! Are you okay?!
Aly: Yeah! It's been awhile since I ran so hard so, I'm out of breath. I'm.... such a loser. I just ran a little, and end up like this. That's why...
Den: That's why?
Aly: That's why, even if I did. I couldn't do anything for her with this body. You do know I'll only live until twenty, right?
Nabahala naman si Den dahil sa sinabi ni Aly.
Den: Huh... Aly... Whenever you used Dad's dialect, it means your hiding something. You used it before to hide your own illness. What are you hiding this time?
The truth is that, Bang died on that day.
I really did go to the area as I promised.
I saw you and Mika kiss and I couldn't stand it.
Den: Aly... (nag-aalala sya kasi hindi parin ito sumasagot)
The truth is that, I love you Den.
Aly: Nevermind. I'm not hiding something.
Den: How did we come to be like this, I wonder.
Nakayuko parin si Aly at hindi tumitingin kay Den.
Den: Hey, do you remember this?
Pinakita ni Den yung stethoscope na hawak nya.
Den: When were young.. we used to play doctor.
"Your heart is beating really fast, Ly."
Chineck nya yung heartbeat ni Aly.
Den: It's okay, your heart is healthy. It's going badump..badump..badump.. It's okay, you won't die when you're twenty, because it's beating this much. So don't say that there're some things you can't do with your own body.
Hindi napigilan ni Den na maluha.
Den.
Aly: My heart's loud, ain't it? It's because I'm with you.
Nagulat si Den at the same time hindi sya makapaniwalang sasabihin ni Aly yun sakanya.
Den: Aly, that's.....
Hahawakan sana nya si Aly kaso bigla itong tumingin sakanya. Kaya natulala lang sya sa mga mata nitong seryoso.
Aly: Den.. I...
Biglang tumayo si Aly.
Den: Aaaaaaah!!!!!
Hinablot niya yung stethoscope na suot ni Den.
Den: Al..
Magsasalita pa sana si Den pero pinutol sya agad ni Aly.
Aly: It's embarassing. So don't listen anymore than that.
Tumakbo na sya palabas at iniwan si Den na tulala.

Den's POV
And soon summer vacation come and I still didn't know and I returned home.
Den: I'm home! Is it okay if I go to take a bath now since I'm sweating so much?
Den's Dad: Welcome home Den. It's the first time you've been home, isn't it? From now on, take it easy.
Den: Dad, how rare to see you. What about the hospital?
Den's Dad: I have the night shift today.
Den: Must be tough being a cardiologist. (Paakyat na sya sa hagdan)
Den's Dad: Den, do you help her to feel better?
Bigla akong huminto at tumingin kay Dad.
Den's Dad: Alyssa..
Den: Feel better? What about?
Question mark para sakin yung sinabi ni Dad.
Den's Dad: Eversince that happened, she was clearly shaking even during examinations.
Den: ? That?
Hindi ko talaga alam kung ano yung pinagsasabi nya.
Den's Dad: Because.. Eventhough Bang's gone now.
Bigla akong napahawak sa railings ng hagdan. Hindi ako makapaniwalang patay na sya.
Den: Eh? Bang... Di-....?
Hindi ko matapos yung sinasabi ko. Oo may sakit sya pero malakas pa naman sya last time. Kaya nahulog tuloy yung bag sa kamay ko.
Den's Dad: ? You didn't know? She stood before she completely speechless... But how much healthier was Bang? And then... She suddenly say that... "I have to go to where Den is.".
That day!
At dali-daling akong tumakbo palabas ng bahay nila.
Den's Dad: Den!
Den: I need to go out for a bit.
Aly
Naabutan ko sya na naglalakad.
Den: Aly!
Nakita kong nagulat sya.
Aly: Den! What's up.. Ba't ka tumatakbo?
Den: Aly!
Hindi ko namalayang nakahawak na pala yung kamay ko sa braso nya. Dahil narin siguro sa sobrang pagod.
Den: You went to the place, that day. Didn't you?
Ayaw nya talagang sabihin sakin ang totoo.
Den: You came to tell me that you still love me even now, didn't you? Am I right?
Nakita ko namang napayuko sya. Alam kong hindi nya ako kayang tignan.
Aly: I went... And there I saw you, kissing Mika.
Hindi ko alam kung anong nararamdaman kong ito. Halo halong emosyon yata.
Aly: Don't make that face Den. I... think it's better this way. The truth is that I've been in pain this whole time. Eventhough I wanted to protect you, my body's like this... that's why I couldn't do anything and it's so disappointing and yet you're unexpectedly clumsy. The moment I take my eyes off you, you get hurt right away.
Hindi ko mapigilan yung mata ko sa pag iyak. Lalong lalo na sobrang concern pala sya sakin.
Aly: That's why when a strong and healthy person showed up... I really did think... it was good. If I leave you in Mika's hands, then I don't have to worry.
Naramdaman ko naman binitawan nya yung kamay ko na kanina pa nakahawak sa braso nya.
Aly: Thanks for everything up until now, Den.
Please don't say it. Please Aly.
Aly: Goodbye.
Tumalikod sya sakin at naglakad papalayo kaya wala na akong nagawa. Masakit mang tanggapin pero kailangan kaya tumalikod narin ako at umuwi nalang.
