Memories of Maine

Hotel neighbors

"Wow. You saved my life. Thanks, Alden... Your my superhero."

"Wala un. That's what friends are for tiba?"

"Hmm... Yeah... Kain ka na."

Then they continued eating. After 10 minutes, their desserts arrived.

"Umm... Alden, about dun sa paghahanap sa parents ko, do you have any idea or clue man lng?"

"Isa lng. Pero di ko sure."

"Okay, can you share it with me?"

Alden nodded.

"Sta. Maria, Bulacan. Sure ako, dun sila nakatira."

"P-paano mo nakuha yan?"

"Before kasi kayo lumipat dyan sa mansion, nanggaling kyo dun. Sabi ni lola Nidora mo saakin noon, doon ka nya daw nakita at inampon."

"Ahh... Okay, nice re-searching."

"Thanks! Kainin mo na yang Gelato mo oh. Matunaw yan."

"Eto na po."

Then they continue to eat. 10:30 PM, Maine yawned then her eyes started to close.

"Gusto mo na bumalik sa kwarto mo?"

"Yes... Please..."

Alden stood up and helped her get up aswell. Maine had a hard time walking to her room since she was bery tired, so Alden decided to take her there.

"Ang bigat mo!"

"Hmm! Grabe ka sakin!"

"Malapit na tyo sa room mo, pagkatapos i-lock mo ung pinto para walang bigla-biglang pumapasok, mag-palit ka ng damit tas mag tooth-brush."

"Pwedeng ikaw mag-palit ng damit ko, at mag brush ng teeth ko?"

Alden starred at her.

"Seryoso?"

"Joke lang. Pero... Kung gusto mo talaga, why not?"

Maine laughed.

"Baliw ka talaga."

Then they reached her room.

"Ung pinto ah! Tas ung ngipin at damit mo, palitan mo yan. Kung hindi..."

"Kung hindi ano?"

"Kung hindi, ako magpapalit nyan."

"Sus. Opo na Dad. Alis ka na po."

Alden said his goodnights and went back to his room.

12:30 AM, Alden recieved a message from Maine.

Maine: 12:30 AM

Hey....

Alden: 12:30 AM

Huy, bat gising ka pa?

Maine: 12:31 AM

I can't sleep... Di ba obvious?

Alden: 12:31 AM

Maine: 12:32 AM

Hmm... Dito ka tulog pleaseeeeee! 🙏🏻

Alden stood up from his bed and went to Maine's room quickly. At Maine's room...

"Anyare dun? Hindi na nag-reply? Tinamaan na ba ng pampatulog?"

Then she heard Alden's knocks.

"Sino yan?"

"Pulis po ito. Sumuko na kyo."

Maine rolled her eyes then opened the door.

"Loko-loko ka talaga. Kung marinig ka ng iba dyan? Pasok."

Alden laughed and went in.

"Ano gusto mong gawin?"

"Wow. Sa oras na ito, may gusto ka pang gawin?"

"Yes. Hindi talaga ako dinadapuan ng antok, as in."

"Edi uminom ka ng gatas. Ako inaantok na ko."

"Nevermind. Matulog na tyo."

"San ako matutulog?"
