"Are you at your parents house? When are you coming home?"

"Come home, Tarah. We need to talk."

"I miss you. I'm waiting for you outside your school."

"Answer my calls, please."

"I know you don't want your parents to know about me. About us. But I really wanna see you. Baka hindi kona mapigilan puntahan ka sa bahay ninyo. Magkita tayo. Talk to me, please!"

"Mag-usap tayo please, Tarah."

"Naghihintay ako sa tapat. Ihahatid kita sa Cafe. We don't need to talk for now. Just let me see you."

"Please let me know if you're okay."

"Tarah..."

"Darling, please..."
