(Nang biglang bumukas ang pintuan ng Condo nya, agad syang nagpunas ng luha sa kanyang mukha. At lumingon sya kung sino ang pumasok, nakita nya si Ghie na ankatayo sa likuran nya at pinagmamasdan sya.)
Eigh: Hi!
Ghie: I know you're crying..
(huminga ng malalim si Ghie atsaka naglakad patungo kay Eigh at naupo sa tabi nito, hinawakan ni Ghie ang litrato nila ni Eigh at ni Ryuu na nasa isang frame.)
Ghie: among all the princesses, we've shared longer years. And I know, by that look that you are sad.
Eigh:... he cried.
Ghie: why?
Eigh: when I said that he should change... he cried.
Ghie: so what do you think?
Eigh: I don't know...
Ghie: Eigh, you're a strong person, and you fight for the one's you love.
Eigh: I can't fight for him... the wedding's like in just two days.
(hinawakan ni Ghie si Eigh sa balikat.)
Ghie: how may times does our heart beats for every minute?
Eigh: it varies on different physiological factors.
Ghie: don't break my mood, I mean normally?
Eigh: usually it's from 60 too a hundred. So?
Ghie: on how may days is Ryuu's wedding?
Eigh: two...
Ghie: so how many beats does your heart worked on to?
Eigh: uhm... one hundred seventy two thousand and more?
Ghie: yah... and so?
Eigh: uhm... I really don't know what your point is.
Ghie: that's a typical heartbeat Eigh... but if you'll look at it more closely, there are so many things that could happen every single second of our lives, take every opportunity Eigh.
Eigh: haha, thanks, but I won't need that anyway. But thank you.
(tinapik ni Ghie si Eigh sa balikat.)
Ghie: just show him you love him Eigh.
(tumayo si Ghie at naginat tapos ay dumeretso na sa cr para maligo. Matapos ang dalwang araw, maagang naghanda si Eigh para sa kasal ni Ryuu kahit sa hapon pa naman ito gaganapin, nagpaalam muna sya sa mga kaibigan nya at pumunta sya sa bahay ni Akira para doon maghanda.)
Aki: you ready?
Eigh: yah.
(magaalasquatro na ng hapon nang matapos ang paghahanda nilang dalawa, lumabas sila at sumakay sa kotse ni Akira papunta sa kasalan ni Ryuu at ni Finn.)
Aki: so, uhm, have you seen Finn?
Eigh: personally? Nope.
Aki: I thought Ryuu showed her to you,
Eigh: uhm, not yet, just on emails.
Aki: oh ok... so uhm. Are you staying til the end of the month?
Eigh: oh, if I'm strong enough... haha,
Aki: haha, I know you're strong. You just have to wake it up iside you.
Eigh: it's not sleeping, it's just too shy.
Aki: haha, whatever.
(napatingin si Eigh sa bintana.)
Eigh: where are we going?
Aki: oh, yah, I forgot to tell you.
Eigh: what?
Aki: Ryuu wants a time with us... on his last hour of being single.
Eigh: oh ok.
(maya-maya pa ay dumating na sila sa floral garden ni Ryuu. Dito naka set-up ang mga dining tables at magagarang ilaw.)
Aki: where are the others?
Eigh: uhm, I can't reach their phones either.
(sagot ni Eigh habang ibinabalik ang phone sa bag.)
Aki: uhm, wait here I'll be looking for them.
Eigh: uhm, I wanna go.
Aki: just wait here, so someone can contact me in case they arrive first. Ok?
Eigh: uhm, ok.
(umalis si Akira at hinanap ang mga kaibigan nila, habang si Eigh ay naiwan sa reception area. Naglakad si Eigh patungo sa pinaka gitnang table. Nakabalot ito ng puting table cloth, habang ang iba nama'y pula, tsaka naisip ni Eigh na ito nga pala ang motiff ng kasal nina Ryuu at Finn, sa ibabaw naman ng lamesa ay tatlong magagandang kandila, at may mga petals ng pulang rosas mula sa lamesa pababa ng upuan. Tumingin naman si Eigh sa dagat at isa-isang pinakinggan ang mga alon, at dinadama nya ang mga hangin na dumadaan sa kanyang mukha. At mula sa likod may humawak sa kanya sa balikat. Napalingon si Eigh, nakita nya si Ryuu suot ang isang maganda at malinis na puting suit.)
Eigh: Ryuu??
(nagulat na sabi ni Eigh.)
Eigh: are the others with you?
(nililingon ni Eigh ang likuran ni Ryuu,.)
R: nope, they're not with me.
Eigh: ow, okay...
(nagsimulang hindi mapakali si Eigh, hindi sya makatingin sa mga mata ni Ryuu, at pinipilit nyang wag makatingin rito, kaya't kung saan saan sya natingin.)
R: what's the problem??
(tanong ni Ryuu nang mapansin na nyang hindi mapakali si Eigh.)
Eigh: uhm, nothing.
(papilit na ngumiti si Eigh, hinawakan ni Ryuu ang magkabilang pisngi ni Eigh atsaka ito pinilit na tumingin sa kanya..)
R: now tell me... what's the problem?
(nagsimulang tumulo ang luha mula sa mga mata ni Eigh,)
Eigh: the problem is I can't pretend that I don't have one... I can't pretend I'm happy... I xan't pretend I'm fine...
(tinakpan ni Eigh ang bibig nya habang patuloy ang pagiyak at paghikbi, hinawakan naman nya ang kamay ni Ryuu atsaka ito ibinaba.)
Eigh: I want you Ryuu, like nothing else in this whole world... I need you like the trees need water, I need you like oxygen so I can breathe... Ryuu, you gave me everything when I was nothing...
(napayuko si Eigh sa itim na vest sa loob ng outing suit ni Ryuu, at sa di kalayuan nakita nina Akira ang nagyayari.)
Aki: so this is ample time, huh?
Tad: let's just leave it to them.
(umalis ang anim sa paligid ng area. Muling hinawakan ni Ryuu ang pisngie ni Eigh para iangat ang mukha nito.)
R: everything's gonna be alrigth, Eigh.
Eigh: I can't make you come back, right?
(umiling ang ulo ni Ryuu at lalong napaiyak si Eigh. Niyakap ni Ryuu si Eigh nang pagkahigpit-higpit, niyakap na rin ni Eigh si Ryuu.)
R: Eigh... Eigh...
(patuloy ang pagiyak ni Eigh.)
R: I won't come back, 'cause see? I never did left...
(lalo pang bumuhos ang luha ni Eigh, niykap nya ng mas mahigpit si Ryuu.)
