Phone Call...

"Harold.."

[long pause]

"....."

"Hashina, I miss you."

"What happened? Is there something wrong?"

"Namiss lang kita, kamusta ka dyan?"

"I'm okay. I'm thinking of going back to my parent's house tomorrow. I'll be back at Harolina nalang if you come back."

[long pause]

"Bakit?"

"Because you weren't here."

[deep sigh]

"Harold?"

"Sandali.... Kinikilig ako. Sabi na nga ba crush mo ako."

[chuckles] "I wouldn't let you kiss me otherwise."

[Sound of objects crashing] "Shit ... Shit... Ouch! What the.... fish"

"Oh my God! What happened to you? Are you okay? It seems like you crashed into something?"

"OUCH!"

"Hey, are you okay?"

"Sorry! [laughs awkwardly] I'm okay!"

"Are you sure? You don't sound okay to me."

"Nambibigla ka kasi, mahal."

"Hmp! I won't say it na lang. Bahala ka dyan."

[Harold laughs]

"Eto naman 'di mabiro."

"You're so corny talaga."

"Pero love mo ayieee."

"Didn't know na delusional ka pala."

[laughs]

"Saya mo naman."

"Syempre kausap kita."

"But you don't look happy when you confessed hmp. Your sincerity is questionable ha."

[Harold's laugh stops]

"Hashina, pagdudahan mo na lahat. Wag lang pagmamahal ko para sayo."

[pause]

"If you want me to prove my love for you, then I'll gladly do anything."

"Why are you suddenly getting serious? I'm just joking lang. Kainis ka naman. Geez goosebumps."

"Aww tampo ang bebe ko."

"No. I'm not."

"Ayan na naman pagiging tsundere mo, mahal."

"I'm not a tsundere nga."

"Asus. Di raw tsundere."

"Whatever. Kamusta ka dyan?"

"Hmm. [slight pause] sa totoo lang, hindi okay. Feel ko kailangan kong i-extend yung stay ko rito."

"Ohh"

"Galit ka ba?"

"No naman. I know na it's inevitable since your company is more important eh. Saka I will see you again naman after your trip."

"But you sound disappointed, mahal."

"I am. But we don't have a choice diba?"

"Edi, hindi ko i-eextend stay ko here kasi may nakakamiss sakin."

"No need magmadali, I can wait naman and why are you conyo na?"

"Pero miss mo na ako diba?"

"Hmm yeah"

"Me too"

[Long pause]

"Hashina?"

"Hmm?"

"...."

"Aishiteru" (translation: I love you)

"Watashi mo itoshite iru yo." (translation: I love you too)

[Whispers] "I really made it, ma!"
