[Hell—]

Lana:
[TANGINA JULIA! NASAAN KAYO? INIKOT KO NA 'YONG BUONG BAR, WALA AKONG MAKITA NI ANINO NIYONG LIMA!]

Unknown:
[We'r—]

Lana:
[AND I HEARD FROM THE PEOPLE HERE NA MAY GULO KANINA! NASAAN KAY—]

Unknown:
[ALONDRA ALYANA, OH MY GOD LET ME FREAKING TALK! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO ANSWER YOU?!]

**silence**

Lana:
[*sighs*]
[I'm sorry. Let me calm first. Your missed calls made me panic.]

Unknown:
[Fine. Tell me if you are ready to listen.]

Lana:
[You're making me anxious more. Just spill it.]

Unknown:
[*sighs* *long silence*]
[There was a brawl kanina sa party and it was all my faul—
Don in the background: [Damn! I told you it was not your fault!]

Lana:
[Is that Don? Nasaan kayo? At bakit nagkagulo?]

Unknown:
[Lana, just let me finish first before you react!]

Lana:
[Fine! Fine!]

Unknown:
[Nasa presinto kami ngayon.]

Lana:
[WHAT?! WHY?!]

Unknown:
[Calm down and fucking listen muna! Don't cut me off!]

[Napa-away sina Don because of me. I saw Maverick with his new girl. Napadaan ako sa table nila. My blood boiled upon seeing them, but nilagpasan ko na lang sila. Pero putangina kasi ng bago niya. She tripped me. Kaya nadapa ako.]

Lana:
[WHAT THE HELL?! GAGA BA SIYA!]

Unknown:
[Napikon ako kaya hinila ko rin 'yong damit niya so she fell. Then we fought. And because I was on their table, her friends helped her. Maverick was there to help her girl, so she fucking pushed me. And that when Don came in the picture, then Joseph, Mari and Boe.]

Lana:
[TANGINA. I KNEW IT! ATTENDING THAT PARTY WILL BRING TROUBLE!]

Unknown:
[We are at the precinct now. All of us, even the celebrant. I am using his phone now to contact you.]

Lana:
[PAPUNTA NA AKO! ARE YOU OKAY? ARE THE BOYS OKAY?]

Unknown:
[I have small scratches, but the boys, basag mga labi and at may mga pasa. They went ballistic when they saw na may bagong babae si Maverick after ka niyang gaguhin.]

Lana:
[Why did you even get into a fight? Dadaan muna akong pharmacy. I'll buy medicines.]

Unknown:
[Maverick and her girl, even their friends are here too. Are you sure about going here?]

Lana:
[I don't care! Iuuwi ko na kayong lima! Bakit ba napunta kayo diyan? May charges?!]

Unknown:
[Si K, may tito siyang police na nandoon! Kaya nung nagkagulo, pinatigil kami at dinala rito! Just... just settle things muna here for us.]

Lana:
[Okay, okay. I am on my way. Wait for me. Tell the guys I am coming na. Masasapak ko talaga isa-isa mga 'yan. How dare they tell me to ignore Maverick in that party, pero sila pala itong mapapa-away!]

Unknown:
[You know the guys are mad at Maverick too. They're just teasing you. Osya sige na! We will wait for you here. I am super exhausted na. Nakakahiya na rin kay K. Kanina ko pa gamit phone niya.]

Lana:
[Okay. I'll see you there.]

Unknown:
[Hmm]
