Panalangin ko sa habang-buhay
Makapiling ka, makasama ka
'Yan ang panalangin ko
At hindi papayag ang pusong ito
Mawala ka sa 'king piling
Mahal ko, iyong dinggin

That's not right in the first place! You are already engaged. I am trying to live my life. That's just what we should do!” "What if I tell you I don't want to? What if I tell you that I want to try these feelings that we are feeling for each other.” "

***"BABE, look at this one. I like it because of its pink diamond. One of the rarest diamonds. I am sure if our son gets married in the future, we can pass it on to him and his future family.

***THEY are in a starring contest. She doesn't know why it all led to this. Maybe one of the things she's thankful for is that there aren't too many people in the cafeteria at these times. But she wouldn't be surprised if the news spread quickly, especially since few people saw them together. Both have a cup of coffee in front of them, no one speaks, but the tension is palpable.
