"Good midnight. This is Girlfriend Hotline and I'm your Operator Shana, what can I do for you?"

"Ayy. Wala yung kanta mo."

"Huh?"

"Ah. Wala."

". . ."

"Hello?"

"Ah. H-hello. . ."

"May sakit ka po ba ngayon? Ibaba ko na-"

"No."

"Ah. Okay."

". . ."

"Shana?"

". . ."

"Why. . . why are you crying?!"

". . ."

"Woah. I've never heard of an operator crying to her client in the middle of a call."

"I'm. . . sorry. Napuwing lang. Haha."

"Hindi ba air-conditioned at sarado 'yang building niyo? Paano ka mapupuwing? Hahaha."

"Ah. Basta. Napuwing lang ako promise."

"Okay, 'yan sabi mo eh."

"So, how's your day?"

"Ayos naman."

"Ayos? Tell me more."

"You sounded interested."

"Syempre, it's my job."

". . ."

". . ."

"Nga naman. . . job. . . hahaha. Oo, job lang. Okay. . ."

"Is there something wrong?"

"Wala. Ayos lang ako."

"Come on, tell me about your day."

"Syempre gumising muna ako. . . huminga, umupo sa kama tapos nag-patay ng alarm. . . tapos, tapos. . . pumunta ako ng banyo, naligo, kumain. . . nakipag-kuwentuhan sa mga apartment mates ko at nag-food trip kami. . . humihinga parin naman ako ngayon. . . haha."

"That. . . that makes sense anyways. Haha."

"Anong sinasabi mo? Wala ngang nakaka-interesado sa araw ko eh."

". . ."

"But yeah, I'm used to it naman. Haha."

"Stop faking your laugh."

"Why? It's real. Sadyang cold lang talaga ako tumawa."

"I can know whether you have a problem or not just by hearing your voice."

"Huh?! What are you?"

". . ."

"My gosh. Wag mo sabihin saking isa kang hamak na yokai. Kasi laos na 'yun. . ."

"Haha, of course I'm not."

". . ."

"Sadyang may kaalaman na ako sa tono ng boses ng isang tao based on experience. . ."

"Okay."

". . ."

". . ."

"Tzuyu. . ."

"Hmm?"

"Naghahanap ka pa rin ba ng boyfriend?"

"Hindi. . . na."

"Bakit naman?"

"Wala eh, on hiatus nga yung Boyfriend Hotline diba?! Ano pa bang magagawa ko?!"

". . ."

"Wala namang nagkaka-gusto sa akin."

"Haha, that's probably not true."

"True kaya."

". . ."

". . ."

"Tss. . ."

"Ewan nalang. Basta totoo 'yon."

"Try mo kaya mag-hanap ng girlfriend."

". . ."

". . ."

"Girl. . . friend? Uh huh, noooooooooo."

"Ganyan ka ba talaga ka-straight?"

"Yup, ganito ako ka-straight sa panahon na madami nang bendable ngayon. Tsss, mga bendable, ang gaganda pa naman nung iba tapos maganda din ang hanap. Sayang naman yung mga gwapong lalaki na naka-tadhana sana sa kanila."

"Oh. Buti ka pa, ganyan yung pananaw mo."

"Bakit? Akala ko ba straight ka rin?"

"Straight lang, kapag may nakaka-usap na lalaki."

"Oh."

". . ."

"Bendable ka rin pala."

"Hmm."

"Sige, tulog na ako."

"Good midnight!"

"Okay."
