INT. DINING ROOM - EVENING
The entire Alvarez family, including Lena, are gathered at the dinner
table. Lena and Enzo found themselves seated across each other.

DON IGNACIO
O, Fonsy, anak...hanggang kelan ba
ang balak niyong mag-stay dito?

ALFONSO
Papa, naman, nagmamadali ba kayong
umuwi kami? Kadarating lang namin ah!

DON IGNACIO
Hindi naman sa ganon...ako’y
nagtatanong lang...wala ba kayong
pasyente na inaalala sa Maynila?

EVELYN
Wala naman ho, papa. Talaga hong
sinadya namin ni Alfonso na magbakasyon
dito...

DONA CONSUELO
So, hanggang kelan nga kayo dito?

EVELYN
Mga isang linggo ho sana ang balak
namin...

Enzo makes a face to Lena. Lena giggles...

ALFONSO
Enzo, anak, may sasabihin ka?

ENZO
Wala po,dad....

EVELYN
(looking at Enzo and Lena)
We’re planning to take this time sana to
spend some quality time kasama ang
mga bata...

ENZO
Mom!

EVELYN
O, bakit? Ang tagal na rin nating
hindi magkasamang mag-bonding ah?
Di ba yan ang gusto mo?

ENZO
Mom, that was when I was 10.

EVELYN
(makes a sad face)
Ngayon ba, ayaw mo na akong makasama?
Ang sakit naman nun anak...

ENZO
Mom, naman, di na ako bata!

EVELYN
Hindi ibig sabihin na dahil 19 ka
na, eh hindi ka na pwedeng
maglambing sa nanay mo!

ENZO
Mom...please, stop it. Dad, help me here.

Everyone else is laughing at Enzo.

ALFONSO
Oo nga naman, Evelyn.
Stop tormenting Enzo na.
Can’t you see how embarassing it is to
do that to him in front of his girlfriend?

ENZO
Finally! Some sense here...Thanks dad!

EVELYN
I don’t think Lena will mind
sharing Enzo’s time with his mom?
Di ba, Lena?

LENA
(looking naughtily at Enzo)
Ay opo...okay lang ho sa akin yun.
Alam ko namang mama’s boy yang si Enzo.

ENZO
Ah ganon...magkakampi na kayo
ngayon? Mom, ano ba ang pinagusapan
niyo ni Lena kanina?

EVELYN
Alam mo Enzo, sa amin na lang ni Lena iyon
kung ano ang pinag-usapan namin.
Girl talk kung baga. Basta ang
importante...nagkakaintindihan kaming dalawa.
Di ba, iha?

LENA
Opo...

DONA CONSUELO
If I know, kaya kayo nandito eh,
babantayan niyo lang ang
dalawang iyan...

ALFONSO
Ay opo, mama. Ganun nga po talaga ang mission namin
dito...

ENZO
Dad naman...

ALFONSO
Remember what we talked about
kanina, iho! We are here to
help you be mature...di ba?

ENZO
(looking glum)
Opo dad!

Lena smiles back at them. Deep inside she was happy to be part of their family. For Enzo, he never had this enjoyable atmosphere during dinner time for a long while.
He was happy, he got to do it with Lena.

INT. OUTSIDE LENA’S BEDROOM - 10 PM

Enzo, in his pajamas, sneaks out of his room. He looks out
to see if anybody is in the hallway. Nobody was present.
He tiptoes his way to Lena’s bedroom. He gently knocks...

ENZO
(whispering)
Lena...Lena...si Enzo to...

Lena rushes to the door. She opens it half-way.

LENA
Enzo, anong ginagawa mo dito? Baka
makita tayo ng parents mo!

ENZO
Gusto lang kita makita, Lena...hindi
kasi kita nakasama buong maghapon,
eh...

LENA
Ako rin, na-miss kita...

ENZO
Miss na miss kita talaga, Lena. Papasukin
mo naman ako, sige na.

LENA
Ayoko kaya! Baka makita tayo ng
mommy at daddy mo!

ENZO
Kahit sandali lang...kwento lang
tayo sandali.

LENA
Ay naku, kilala kita. Hindi kwento
yang nasa utak mo!

ENZO
Okay, buking mo na ako. I just want to
show you kung gaano
kita na-miss...

LENA
Naku Enzo, ayaw kong magalit ang
mama mo! Nag-promise ako sa kanya...

ENZO
Para namang mas masahol pa tayo sa
preso nito...nagkikita nga tayo,
pero di naman pwedeng maglambingan...

LENA
Hmmm...eto naman...tiisin mo na. Isang linggo
lang naman sila dito.

ENZO
Lena, isang linggo iyon...hindi ko
kaya yun!

LENA
Well pwes, kayanin mo. Kala mo ba
ikaw lang ang nahihirapan...ako din
naman ah?

ENZO
Talaga, hirap ka din? Siguro
tinitiis mo lang...pero, I'm sure gusto mo
na talaga akong halikan ano?

LENA
Oo naman no!

ENZO
Puwes sige, one kiss lang...pampatulog lang!

LENA
Smack lang ha?

ENZO
Sige...

Enzo, juts his head into Lena’s room. HE pouts his lips for Lena...Lena moves her head closer...

All of a sudden, Enzo heard somebody call out from behind him. It was his dad. He immediately pull his head out of Lena's door.

He sees his dad standing in front of his bedroom door across the hall.

ALFONSO
Enzo, anong ginagawa mo diyan? Gabi na!

ENZO
Ah dad...kukuha lang ho ako ng tubig...

ALFONSO
Walang tubig diyan sa kuwarto ni Lena!

ENZO
Dad naman. Nag-paalam na rin lang din ho ako kay, Lena!

ALFONSO
Ah sige...dalian mo at gabi na.

ENZO
Yes dad...

Enzo turns back to Lena.

LENA
O paano ba iyan, may security guard
na naka-ronda?

ENZO
, Lena...parang martial law na
to ah. Ano to, may curfew?

She kisses him on the cheek.

LENA
O ayan. Kiniss na kita. Good night, Enzo!
Magpakabait ka ha?!

ENZO
Good night, Lena...

ALFONSO
O, Enzo! Ano pa ang ginagawa mo diyan?

ENZO
Lalakad na po!

INT. LENA’S BEDROOM - A FEW MINUTES LATER

Lena is seen brushing her hair in front of an old vanity.
She smiles at herself remembering Enzo‘s antics.

CUT TO:

EXT. OUTSIDE LENA’S WINDOW - SAME TIME

Enzo is seen climbing out of his bedroom window. He scales
the adobe brick walls to reach Lena‘s bedroom window.

CUT TO:

INT. LENA’S BEDROOM - SAME TIME

Lena hears a slight tapping sound on her window!

ENZO
Lena...lena...buksan mo to!

Lena rushes to her window and opens it.

LENA
Enzo, anong ginagawa mo diyan?

ENZO
Ano pa?

LENA
Baka makita ka ng mama at papa mo diyan,
lagot ako!

ENZO
Harangan man ako ng sibat, di nila
ako mapipigilang makita ka...

LENA
Enzo naman, eh. Alam mo ang kulit kulit
mo. Paano kung mahuli tayo?
Sigurado lagot tayo niyan.

ENZO
Lena, hindi tayo mahuhuli, kaya
quiet ka lang...

LENA
Ano ba kasi ang gusto mo?

ENZO
Hindi kasi ako makatulog hanggat
hindi ko nakukuha ang kiss ko...

LENA
Ki-niss na kita, ah?

ENZO
Kiss na pambata yun...gusto ko yung
kiss na pang-nobyo...parang nung
isang gabi.

LENA
Naku, huwag na...baka mahulog ka pa
diyan...

ENZO
Sige na, Lena...bilisan mo
na...at nangangawit na ako...

LENA
Sige na nga...

Lena places a deep kiss on Enzo’s lips.

Enzo, momentarily forgets, lets go of the window sill...he
loses his balance and falls off the window.

Lena shrieks!

All the windows in the household lights up.

On the flowerbed below, Enzo is seen grabbing his
back...grimacing in pain...but is otherwise okay.

LENA
(shouts softly)
Okay ka lang?

Enzo manages to stand up and gives her a thumbs up sign!
A knock is heard on Lena’s door...

Lena hastily opens it...it was Evelyn.

EVELYN
O, Lena...anong nangyari?

LENA
Ha eh...Wala po...kala ko kasi may aswang...

EVELYN
Aswang?

LENA
May narinig po kasi akong kaluskos
sa may bintana...

EVELYN
(looking at Lena suspiciously)
Paano naman kasi...isara mo itong
bintana mo...nang sa ganoon, walang
aswang na makakapasok.

Evelyn moves hastily towards the window. Lena momentarily
panics. Evelyn immediately looks down below but she didn’t
see anybody there.

Evelyn closes the window and looks back at the much-relieved
Lena.

EVELYN
O ayan...sana di ka na gambalain ng
kung ano mang masamang elemento
diyan sa labas...

LENA
Sana nga po. Hindi rin ako sure dun
sa narinig ko. Baka guni-guni ko lang iyon...

EVELYN
Sana nga, Lena...sana nga...

Evelyn exits.

Lena lets out a heavy sigh of relief. That
was close!
