Uy, ikaw daw nag-uwi ng scooter ko dito sa apartment? Nakita ko kanina sa baba, sa may garahe.

Galatea Blanca Suarez
Salamat!

Pygmalion Noel Alcantara
No problem. Napadaan lang ako, then I remembered.

Galatea Blanca Suarez
Bakit may helmet na bago? Yellow?

Pygmalion Noel Alcantara
Your helmet is sira. I wanted to buy you a new scooter but Caly said kasi bago ko kunin na ingatan ko raw. I figured baka important sa'yo so helmet na lang.

Galatea Blanca Suarez
Hahaha. Grabe lahat ba ng sira kong gamit, papalitan mo ng bago???

Pygmalion Noel Alcantara
Gusto mo ba?

Galatea Blanca Suarez
HUY HINDI!! 'Wag!

Pygmalion Noel Alcantara
Why?

Galatea Blanca Suarez
Eh hindi naman kailangan 'yon. Hanggang nagagamit ko pa, ayos lang. Tsaka kung binili mo ako ng bagong scooter, ibabalik ko sa'yo. Mahal ko 'yung scooter ko eh.

Pygmalion Noel Alcantara
Kahit laging sira?

Galatea Blanca Suarez
Sentimental value. Sa tatay ko 'yun.

Pygmalion Noel Alcantara
Ah. Good thing I didn't buy you a new one pala talaga. I wouldn't want to be epal and take that from you.

Galatea Blanca Suarez
'Yun. Galing mo mag-pick up ng cues din.

Pygmalion Noel Alcantara
But did you like the helmet?

Galatea Blanca Suarez
Oo naman. Ang ganda! Matibay. Pero 'wag mo nang uulitin ha! Tama na!

Pygmalion Noel Alcantara
Why naman?

Galatea Blanca Suarez
Eh kasi nakakahiya tsaka hindi mo kailangan gawin 'yon. Ilang araw mo pa lang ako kilala. Ayaw kong umabuso.

Pygmalion Noel Alcantara
Hindi naman nakakahiya because I wanted to do it.

Galatea Blanca Suarez
Bakit naman?

Pygmalion Noel Alcantara
I like you eh.

Galatea Blanca Suarez
HA?????

Pygmalion Noel Alcantara
I like your ugali. The way you work hard. The way you treat people. The way you are never unfair to anyone. You don't try to cheat people kahit may misconceptions about what you do. I like how honest you are. And that you don't make me feel dumb when I don't know certain things.

Galatea Blanca Suarez
Ah. Gago kinabahan ako!!

Pygmalion Noel Alcantara
Why?

Galatea Blanca Suarez
Eh akala ko gusto mo ako na may malisya.

Pygmalion Noel Alcantara
How will I know that ba?

Galatea Blanca Suarez
Kapag gusto mo na ang tao? Kilig. Natutuwa ka kapag kasama mo siya. Masaya ka 'pag masaya siya. Kapag gusto mo ng mabubuting bagay para sa kanya.

Galatea Blanca Suarez
Iba-iba rin para sa ibang tao. Pero para sa akin, ganyan.

Pygmalion Noel Alcantara
Nagkaroon ka na ba ng gusto?

Galatea Blanca Suarez
Wala pa naman.

Pygmalion Noel Alcantara
Why wala?

Galatea Blanca Suarez
Ayoko ng gano'n. Kumplikado.

Pygmalion Noel Alcantara
Because?

Galatea Blanca Suarez
Magulo eh. Alam mo 'yung maraming hindi pwede? Kunwari mayaman tapos mahirap. O mahal mo pero may mahal na iba. O mahal mo tapos mahal ka pero kabit ka. O mahal mo pero mas mahal niya ang career niya.

Pygmalion Noel Alcantara
You know, my kuya said that too. About the poor and rich. Why naman? The difference is just money. Why does it matter?

Galatea Blanca Suarez
Syempre. Iba 'yung status sa buhay. Pero hindi naman ako naniniwala sa gano'n. Masyadong makalumang paniniwala. Okay lang naman 'yun basta hindi naglalamangan. Hindi naman lahat ng mahirap, mukhang pera eh.

Pygmalion Noel Alcantara
Like you.

Galatea Blanca Suarez
Hahaha mukha akong pera rin

Pygmalion Noel Alcantara
Reasonable naman.

Galatea Blanca Suarez
Kahit na. Haha. Hindi ako mabait, Leon.

Pygmalion Noel Alcantara
You are.

Galatea Blanca Suarez
Akala mo lang 'yon.

Pygmalion Noel Alcantara
I see you, Altea. No matter how hard you try to look tough or maangas, I see you. When you give more to Caly even though you have a little left. When you help the old people in Quiapo. Whenever you give alms or extra food kasi you told me no one deserves to be hungry. And many more little things kahit ilang days pa lang tayo magkasama.

Galatea Blanca Suarez
Huy grabe ka naman!

Pygmalion Noel Alcantara
You are a beautiful person, ssob. 🙂
