Till My Heartaches End Page #2

---

- Come on.

What about my kiss, babe?

- No, it's okay. You're running late.

- Bye.

Take care.

I thought you're breaking up with him?

No, we're okay.

I was just playing with him.

I really pity Agnes.

She was just a little girl when

her parents left to work abroad.

Is her mom in the Middle East too?

No. She's in the US.

A medical technician.

Her father is an engineer in Riyadh.

She was left with her grandmother.

She has no siblings.

After college. They decided to send her

to Manila to review for the board exam.

Too good that she's close with her aunt

and cousin where she's staying now.

That's why she took nursing even if

she really wants to be a teacher.

Because she wants to go abroad

to be with her mom.

- You know her?

- No.

Help her.

Hello to you!

You can't see your name in the list?

No. But I was able to register.

I've been noticing that you were

checking the papers one by one.

That might not be updated yet.

The other reviewers

aren't included there yet.

But you may verify that

in the administration office.

Really?

You know where it is?

No.

Join us then.

We're on our way there.

Come on.

I'm Jane, by the way.

I'm Susan. And you?

Agnes.

I thought you're going to meet me there?

I've been waiting for you for a

while now and you guys are still here.

Agnes, my boyfriend, Miggy.

Why do you all look dumbfounded

when I introduce him as my boyfriend?

You're like unresponsive computers.

Don't you believe

that he's my boyfriend?

Come on!

How are your review classes?

They're okay.

When's the board exam?

On November, aunt.

That's good that you know

what you want to be already.

Unlike your cousin

who finished liberal arts.

Her schooling was paid for

by her siblings working abroad...

who worked hard to earn their diplomas.

Then she suddenly thinks of

shifting to culinary arts.

Don't worry about Gemma.

She's a very good daughter.

She just wants to explore

a lot of things.

Do you have plans of following

your mom in Chicago?

We've already talked about it.

When I'm there,

we'll petition my father.

The last time we got together

as a family, it was Christmas.

I was nine years old then.

After that, all my life, there are some

holidays that only mom is here.

Sometimes, it's just dad.

But usually, they can't come home.

How much is a photocopy?

One peso and sixty cents.

- Is it clear?

- Yes.

Okay.

Hey!

I know you, right?

I think we've met.

At the house of Wally's cousin?

No, we met at the cafe where you work.

Oh yeah.

You were the one

waiting outside while...

your cousin is fighting

with her boyfriend.

Yes, that was me.

That was her.

Here, thank you.

You see, this is just great.

What is great?

This is called destiny.

Do you believe in destiny?

For me, I believe that

everyone has a destiny.

Like for instance...

no matter how big the world is

and even Manila...

we still chanced upon each other

at the right place and time.

There you are.

Whatever happens and

whatever each person wants...

her fate will come to pass.

And that's defined as destiny.

Like the two of us, right?

Why? What do you call us?

Manila is a huge place

and there are a lot of people...

but all it took was the

right place and the right time.

And there you are.

Do you know what you're saying?

Why? You don't get it?

I get it but you sound so funny

the way you said it.

You got something else to do?

Why are you asking?

You might be hungry.

I'm not.

I'm feeling hungry.

Then go and eat.

I want to invite you

but there's a problem.

What?

I'm on a limited budget.

You're on a limited budget

but you have the guts to invite me?

So we pay for our own food?

Are you picky when it comes to food?

No.

Why do you look so afraid?

I thought you're not picky.

No, I just wonder why

this egg is covered in orange.

That's food coloring.

That's atsuete powder.

See, it means

it's healthy and even organic.

You're a nurse right?

Eat it. It's good.

I promise you that one day,

I'm going to take you out on a date.

And it's not in the

middle of the road...

eating orange eggs and fish balls.

I promise you that.

I'll remember it.

- You want more?

- Tastes good.

Where do you live?

With my aunt.

Where is that?

Roxas district.

Why are you asking all these things?

I saw you a while ago texting someone.

That's my cousin,

asking me where I am.

Do you have a boyfriend?

What?

I might be making a fool

out of myself here...

trying to look cute to you...

and then you might have a boyfriend.

Are you really that crude?

That's not crude.

That's just being honest.

Okay.

So do you have a boyfriend or not?

I don't have one.

Good. What's your number?

Wait, how come you're so sure

that I'm giving you my number?

Because you ate ten orange eggs today.

So I know you won't forget me.

So what's your number?

Give me your phone.

Why?

Just give me your phone.

There, I saved my number.

You know what, we've been together

the whole afternoon and yet...

I still don't know your name.

Wait, aren't you going to ask my name?

I'm worried about Agnes

at first because she's so innocent.

Even if she's intelligent. In Cebu.

She is guarded by our grandma.

How old is Agnes?

Twenty-one.

She never had a boyfriend.

That's why she doesn't know

anything about your tricks.

I don't understand you.

I thought your cousin is intelligent...

but you talk as if Agnes doesn't know

what she's getting herself into.

You know, love chooses no one.

Everybody is stupid in love.

And I'm the first victim!

See, I even fell for you.

Would you believe it?

I also looked stupid, huh?

Having you

as my girlfriend up to now.

I've been losing my hair

with all my problems with you...

but I'm still your boyfriend.

I don't understand you!

- Hello.

- Good morning.

Why are you up so early?

It's noisy here.

There's a construction next door.

They've been pounding

on the roof so early.

Then just go back to sleep.

Once I wake up, it's hard for me

to go back to sleep.

Then just take some rest.

Where are you now?

I'm on my way to the review center.

Are you just going to be home?

Most likely.

I might do the laundry later.

Take care.

You too.

If I won't be able

to reply with your text...

that means I ran out of load.

Don't get too sensitive.

That's okay. Take some rest.

Don't miss me too much, okay?

I'm going. Bye!

Powie, when are you introducing us

to your latest girl?

The nurse?

So it's a nurse this time!

Powie, you're such a playboy.

You change your girlfriends

more often than your underwear!

No, this is different.

This is like destiny.

- Destiny?

- Destiny?

How's work?

Were you able to sell today?

I'm kinda tired

because of our new project.

As long as you do

your best in your work...

you'll reach your dream

of having your own condo soon.

But then,

you're stressing yourself too much.

You might get sick.

I don't want to regret

the opportunities.

Why is it so urgent

that we meet tonight?
