My Cactus Heart Page #5

---

Oh. May I?

There.

Ouch!

Oh!

It hurts...

But if it's for Sandy...

Just a little trick I learned from college.

Hey dude, he's really handsome.

Like he came from a Korea novella.

You can't beat that, ma-

My parents hoped I would warm up

to their hardware business.

But it didn't happen.

I even trained in Gibley.

But when I was in Japan...

I discovered that there was a lot

of opportunities there and I figured that...

Oh!

Sorry, sorry! But... this is my name.

Does this mean that I'm accepted?

Yes Sandy. You're hired!

It's the obvious choice.

With your talent and...

You're so beautiful...

I mean... Has anyone ever told you

that you're special?

The last person who told me I'm special...

Left me in the end.

Well... I won't ever leave you.

Huh?

By the way, Sandy,

welcome to the company!

Ma'am! Ma'am! Ma'am Sandy!

Why aren't you replying to my messages?

Oh, I don't have load...

Um Carlo, I - I was charging my cellphone.

It's been dead for two weeks already...

Two weeks? Ma'am, ma'am... but...

Carlo, can't this wait'?

I still have some things to attend to. The

deadline for my requirements is nearing.

Okay?

You know, I never thought

my foolishness would go that far.

I was so stupid!

When deep inside,

I knew that this only contained Carlo.

But what did I do'?

Miss Macalintal, you are not choosy.

- Okay, okay...

- And you are also not a tease.

So what am I?

Scared!

You're afraid.

You don't want to lay your happiness

in the hands of one person.

You're afraid that in the end,

he'll just leave you too.

That's why you keep looking for reasons

not to fall in love with Carlo.

NBI, SSS, almost all your employment

requirements are complete.

I want to accompany you

because I enjoy your company.

Oh, do you want some ice cream?

Okay.

Even at home,

I'm the one who does magic for my family.

But when I'm with you,

it feels like you create the magic for us.

Oh there you go again.

But you do know that magic

is not real, right?

How so?

Look, it's because - thank you.

It doesn't work when it matters.

I used to write to my future soul mate...

and I left the letter inside a guitar.

I was told that it will come back to me.

I just had to wait.

But do you know how many years

I've been waiting'?

One year... two years... three years...

four years. How many years!

But it still hasn't returned.

That's why magic isn't real.

Well, maybe he's just taking time to come.

You never know.

I might be the one to find it.

I might be your soul mate.

Oh, that was long ago.

Oh, my brother texted.

He says it's urgent. He needs my help!

Here. A little more to the left.

Where are our extras?

Brother.

Thank God, Sandy, you're here!

It's so frustrating! I'm already delayed.

And the concept for the videoke is unique!

On the wall, in the air.

Our extras don't want to be suspended

in the air.

So... you can do this, right?

Me'?

Come on. You'll just be the body-double.

No close up!

- Oh alright.

- So... where's your partner?

Does Sandy need a partner?

I could volunteer.

What's this for?

Sir Kale, Sir Kale! You texted?

You said it's urgent.

Yes Carlo. I heard it's your day-off from

catering. Did I bother you?

Oh no, it's no bother. What is it?

Well, I was going to make you

Sandy's partner for the videoke.

Okay!

But... Sir Benedict

has already volunteered.

Of course.

I'll do anything for my new girl, right?

So... you can go back

to what you were doing. Sorry, Carlo.

Girl employee.

- Okay.

- Thank you.

So... Direk Kale,

what are we supposed to do?

- Firstly, you need to climb that.

- Huh'?

Wall climbing...

then rappelling...

and then, zip line!

And finally, there's a roller coaster ride.

Isn't it exciting?

Sir Benedict?

Why do you suddenly look like a zombie?

Oh, umm... anything except this.

Oh, let me! Let me...

Let me be Sandy's partner.

Perfect! Okay, put the straps on the two.

Sandy, Carlo, you can change inside.

We had some costumes prepared for you.

We'll be taking the scenes

in a few minutes, okay? Let's go!

Alright guys. Get ready

with the first set-up.

Come on, climb higher! More!

Oh no.

Are you afraid of heights?

A bit.

A bit?!

Yeah, the type that makes me pee

but not poop.

That makes you pee.

Well why did you still volunteer?

Because... I want to be with you.

Carlo, hold on!

Cut!

Sandy, Carlo,

the camera's over here okay'? Ready?

Three, two, one, go! Go! Go!

Look at the camera!

You're afraid of roller coasters too?

Why are you riding?

I don't mind. I get to sit beside you.

Here she comes.

I gotta hide my guitar right now.

Because I couldn't take it if she passes by

And she sees me. I'm sure, dude...

I'll start melting...

When she's here...

- My whole world stops

- One, two, three...

I can't help myself when I see her

I'm telling you, man...

I am hit!

Cut!

Okay, next set-up, Ziplinel

Action!

Oh why is it when she's there,

I become stiff?

Oh why is it when she's there,

I get confused?

I just hope she'd get to know

what my heart feels...

Okay Sandy, Carlo, let go!

Good take, Carlo.

Sandy, watch your step.

Oh, I left my cellphone. Can you get it?

- Okay. Okay. Okay. I'll get it. Wait.

- Mommy might be calling.

Finally, you found someone you like

from your suitors.

You're ready to get hurl.

Okay. Good job, guys!

It's a wrap!

Sandy, here's your phone.

Do you want something to eat? Lasagna?

Pizza'?

Burger?

- I'm good.

- Burger!

It's alright.

Is there a problem?

None.

So... when are we.

When are we what?

Having our date?

Sorry.

I'm still busy with everything I'm doing.

Busy.

Busy with that Chinese sauce.

What Chinese sauce?

Chinese socialite. Chinese sauce.

You know what, you're lucky.

Your dreams are coming true.

Your life has direction.

Your family really likes that guy.

Not like me.

What are you trying to say'?

Everything that you can't tell me

to my face.

I can't have dinner with your family

because I'm just a singing waiter.

You're so dramatic!

- You know that's not true!

- No, it's really true.

- What do you want to tell me'?

- Are you high'?

- Are you telling me I'm elitist?

- Cause I can't reach you.

- I'm not saying you're elitist.

- What are you sayi-

I'm just saying

that you don't want to date me.

- Just a date? Then let's date!

- Date?

' Yes!

Yes?

- Date!

- Yes as in yes?

Yes as in yes!

- Why are you finishing the ketchup?

- I'm not eating it all up.

If you want some, then get some!

No take-backs!

We have a date!

Hey! Yes.

YES! YES! YES!

We have a date!

Hey!

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Sixty days notice?

It might be better if we sell this house

than have it repossessed.

We can move to a room for rent.

Auntie, no!

This is mom and dad's house!

Well, I'll just get a room with a big wall

and hang all your mother's pictures there.

It won't make a difference!

Auntie, don't be like that.

I'll knock at each neighbor's door.

They might have some broken fans or

components that I can repair.
