"Nakaouting si Mama. Ayoko sumama."
"Wear a dress. A formal one." Pandemanda ni Unique.
"'Kaw na nga mandedemanda, ikaw pa inis?" Sabi ni Yvon na tutok sa cellphone niya.
"I'll wait for you. Sabagay nakaformal attire naman ako eh, yung suot ko sa patay ko."
May light bulb sa taas ng ulo ni Yvon, "dress up tayo! Yung mga damit nila papa at mama!"
"Anong dress up?"
"Tanga ka? Dress up di mo alam?" Pagtaka ni Yvon.
"Malamang di yan yung nilalaro ko sa Y8. Whack Your Boss."
"GAGU! ASTIG! NOW MAGDEDRESS UP NA TAYO!"
hinawakan ni Yvon ang kamay ni Unique at kinaladkad siya papunta sa kwarto ng nanay at tatay ni Yvon.
"ito ang kama nila mama at papa, dito ako nagawa at yung epal kong bunso. Kumbaga 'baby factory' tong kamang 'to. Pramis. Works wonders. Gusto mo try natin? Di, joke lang."
hindi mapigilan ni Unique tumawa, "sige lang, keep it coming."
"Keep it cumming kamo. JOKE."
"lalo ako mapupunta sa impyerno sa ginagawa mong yan. Huhu. Nasan na ba yung ano... Yung damit?"
"Ako sa damitan ni Mama, ikaw sa damitan ni Papa."
Nagsimulang pumili ni Yvon ng gown, she picked a strapless royal blue dress, the length was about her knees. The dress had star sequins on.
Yvon removed the hanger and took the dress to her room.
Meanwhile Unique just picked a simple tuxedo with a red bowtie.
Unique just changed inside the room and took his lamay clothes to heaven.
Unique went down the house and waited downstairs.
Unique heard the door open and close, he saw the beautiful lady go downstairs.
She was wearing a royal blue dress paired with tsinelas pambahay.
Her hair was as straight as a heterosexual.
Her nails were done.
She didn't look different from before, but to Unique, she looked angelic.
Unique tried to be a gentleman and helped the young lady go downstairs.
"Kaya kong bumaba pare. Di ako uugod ugod."
"May i take this dance?"
"Maya na."
"Ito panira ng moment!"
Yvon held Unique hand and danced.
No one was singing.
All they can hear was silence.
Unique puts his left hand on Yvon's waist, his right hand on her hand and her left hand on his shoulder.
Unique started humming random tunes.
"Saglit. Curtsy muna. Para ano-- formal." Pagpapatigil ni Yvon.
"Your wish is my command."
Lumayo si Unique at Yvon at nagcurtsy.
Unique started to hold Yvon's right hand while his left hand was on her waist and her left hand on his shoulder.
"Gagalaw lang ba tayo ng ganto?" Tanong ni Unique.
"Wala akong alam sa sayaw eh."
"Both of us are walang alam sa waltz."
"Ha, ako walang alam sa sayaw."
Unique started to twirl Yvon, and such.
Unique took Yvon's right hand, both of their left hands on their back.
Atras. Lapit. Atras. Lapit.
Isa pang atras at isa pang lapit.
Once they got near each other, Unique looked at the shorter girl.
Unique kissed her forehead and hugged her.
"Let's stay like this for a while."
