[DIALOGUE]

< CANTEEN. LUNCH TIME. >

Evie smiled at the vendor because he was packing her bucket of fries over the brim.

Vendor
Ito lang po, ma'am?

Evie
Yes po.

Vendor
110 po lahat, ma'am.

Evie unzipped her wallet but before she could pay, someone already handed the money to the vendor.

And then he pulled her quickly.

Evie
Jachin, wait! Hindi ko pa nalalagyan ng salt 'yong fries!

Jachin
May dala ako mas masarap pa sa fries.

Jachin pulled her out of the canteen.

Jachin
Ang ingay kasi do'n. Daming tao.

Evie
Sa'n tayo punta?

Jachin
Sa may garden. Alam mo 'yong sa gitna ng bio at lib? Do'n lang.

Evie
Okay, but you did not have to pull me!

Bahagya itong ngumiti.

Jachin
Sorry, sorry.

They arrived at the garden and true to what Jachin said, tahimik sa loob at ilang estudyante lang ang nakatambay.

Jachin
Oh. Galing 'yan sa 'min.

Evie
Wooow. May biscuits! And nuts!

Jachin
May mga chocolate covered something din. Kung ano na lang nadampot ko na tingin ko magugustuhan mo.

Evie
Thank yoooouuu. I'll pay you.

Evie grabbed her purse but a warm hand placed on top of hers stopped her.

Jachin
'Di na. Para ka namang iba. Wala rin naman akong balak pabayaran ka.

Jachin
Mayayari ako sa tatay ko 'pag nalaman niyang pinagbayad kita.

Evie
Sure? I can pay naman. Mabigat din dalhin 'to.

Jachin flexed his biceps.

Jachin
Para sa'n pa 'to?

Evie
You mean your non-existent biceps?

Jachin
Alam mo ikaw, simula nung jail booth palagi mo na akong binabara.

Evie shrugged and opened one of the goodies he bought.

Evie
You deserve it.

Jachin
Para kang mga pinsan ko. . .

Evie
I think I'll like them.

Napatigil si Jachin nang magsimulang kumain si Evie. She looked at peace and comfortable—swinging her legs and munching.

Jachin's lips curved into a smile.

Jachin
Kumusta bakasyon mo?

Evie
Oh. Boring. Si Mimi lang kasama ko. We did go to a lot of places. Nag cafe and museum hop kami.

Jachin
Tanungin mo akin.

Evie
How about you?

Jachin
Nakalimutan ko mag-isip. Gano'n kasarap bakasyon ko.

Evie nodded and smiled brightly at him that Jachin had to look away.

Jachin
May tanong pala ako. Habang kanina mo pa nginingima 'yang pasalubong ko.

Tumawa ni Evie nang mahuli siya nitong dumudukot na naman sa pouch.

Evie
What is it?

Jachin
Ano. . . paano mag volunteer sa vet?
