Scene 2:

Narrator: For how many minutes have passed let the time flow until noon, only few kilometers have left to reach their destination, the couple begun to have a conversation inside the cub.

John: We’ve been silent for an hour already. Stella, this is the best time to talk, please let’s talk once again.

Narrator: Elena and Manong Sery heard the conversation, and subtly listened

Stella: John, stop… This is not a good place talk.

John: Honestly, I don’t even know who’s with at that time. The circle was bigger than I thought and some people around me are completely strangers. I’m sorry, it is my fault, that was accident. I’m completely drunk.

(John was quietly sobbing)

Stella: It was different, John. The girl who kissed you was different. There are kisses that are mistake, and there are kisses of love. Then what do you feel when you kissed the girl that night?

John: I know, it was not you. I--

Stella: (Interrupted) And I know it wasn’t me.

John: It was a mistake, Stella. I’m sorry.

Stella: I feel ‘more’ sorry for myself that I trusted a guy who willingly forget me when he’s intoxicated with alcohol.

(John grab Stella’s hand and hold it near to his face.)

John: Stella, I swear. I would never drink again. I would never do that again. I promise.

(Stella pulled her hand away from the grasp of John)

Stella: You did it already, once and if I’ll let this thing slip away and love you again, then I’ll be stupid, it feels like im waiting for you to repeat that mistake. Once a mistake has done, it will tolerate you again.

(stella sigh a little with teary eyes)

Stella: That’s why, I need time for ‘us’ right now.

(Manong sery and Elena accidentally eavesdrop the argument of the couple. Elena bowed her head while Manong tried to approach the pair verbally.)

Manong sery: Uhm, do you wanna talk alone? We’re few meters apart until reach Tukuran, do I have to drop you a comfortable place?

(Manong sery asked kindly.)

Stella: It’s okay tay, you don’t have to. At least, the young lady at the backed can learn that not all guy who promised the world with you, will remember the girl they love when they’re drunk.

(Stella smiled at Elena while Elena stared at her teary eyes miserably and was speechless)

(Meanwhile, they reach the first destination where the John supposed to get off.)

John: No, I won’t get off on this vehicle.

Stella: Get off or we’re not going to talk anymore forever. Please I need space, it is more than enough to take all of it.

(John slowly get off the payungpayung and sob as he payed manong sery for fare.)

John: thank you tay. Please send her off safely to her home. Stella, goodbye.

(John left. And they continue to travel to different place.)

(Stella buried her face to her hands and whines soflty and talk to elena)

Stella: Ga, let me give you an advice. I know you’ve heard a lot, I hope you will find a guy who will love you devotedly and authentic. If ever you already find the that person, let your man do his hobby, stuff or even his bisyo (vices). The if the guy will cheat or leave you unreasonably, then let him go. Once a cheater will be a cheater. Forgive, but don’t forget the lesson. Just a reminder, we are beautiful woman, we don’t deserve infidelity.

(Stella got off to her destination and waved to manong and Elena cheerfully as the vehicle turn and travel again to last destination)

Manong: after hearing their story, the only comment I can give is I’ve been married to my wife for more than a decade, but I can proudly say that  every time I’m inebriated, I never forget how I love my wife and children. I believe the sincere loving heart never forgets, it is responsibility.

Elena: I am totally speechless. But it is amazing to learn from a stranger. What a day! Thank you manong for the safe trip! Bye.

(Elena also get off to the payungpayung then waved to Manong. She walked towards a silent street as she raised her head looking at the clouds)

(Elena murmurs)

Elena: That hit me hard. In shorter words, alcohol is never an excuse to cover up how unfaithful a person is. I hope time heals for the both person.
