You missed a call from Alab
10:23 PM

Alab:

Rosie, sagutin mo 'yong tawag. Please.

You can't text me something like
that and not even pick up the phone.

Rosie: 

syempre di ko sasagutin

Alab:

Ro, 'wag naman gan'to.

Your text. Was that... true?

Rosie: 

no

Alab:

Really?

You're not the type to joke around about this.

Rosie:

tama ka

kasi ikaw lang naman dito
'yung mahilig mag-"joke around"

Alab:

Where are you? Pupuntahan kita.

Rosie: 

can you please stop acting like i
have a place in your life when in reality,
 ni wala ka naman talagang pakealam sa 'kin?

i'm so tired, alab

all i wanted was to be loved by you,
but you couldn't even do that properly

i guess we're not made for each other. simple as that.

i'm done scavenging over your leftovers.
ayoko ng pagmamahal na tira-tira lang.
ayoko ng lalaking hindi para sa 'kin lang.

Alab:

I want to explain but I can't do this over the phone.

Can we please meet up, at least?
You just told me you're pregnant, Rosie.
I think this is something worth talking about.

Rosie: 

oh, sorry to disappoint

but i have always been on pills during our relationship

that was just a prank
