Milly:
Because it's not enough to hurt me, isn't it? You have to hurt everyone else too?

Milly:
I know you're cheating with Mom. I have proof of it.
I know you're with her. Break up with her now.

Milly:
How could you do this, Dad?
I trusted you.
How could you hurt all of us like this?

Daddy:
I'm sorry, anak.
I wanted to tell you but I didn't know how you'll take it.

Milly:
Sorry? Sorry again?
Puro sorry na lang?

Daddy:
Mahal kita. Mahal na mahal ka namin ng mama mo.

Milly:
That's shit and you know it.
I don't need a love that hurts like this, Dad. If that's what you call love, then I want none of it.
Kasi ang selfish nyo!
Ang selfish selfish nyo!

Daddy:
Milly. Anak. Mag-usap naman tayo.
Tatawagan kita.

Daddy:
Milly. Answer the phone.
Anak.

Milly:
There's nothing to talk about. I have no interest hearing what you have to say. What you want is my forgiveness. And I will not give it unless you break up.

Milly:
I thought you cared about us.
Na kahit nasira marriage nyo, that you still loved us at least.
But this, Dad?
For the second time, you're breaking our family?
You're breaking me?
Again?
Just when I'm starting to be whole again?

Daddy:
Mahal kita, anak. Pasensya ka na nasaktan kita. Kami ng mama mo. Wala kaming ibang ginawa kundi mahalin ka.
Di mo maiintindihan ngayon pero pagdating ng panahon, mauunawaan mo rin.
Mahal ka namin. Yun ang totoo.

Milly:
But ang sakit nyo magmahal! Ang sakit sakit nyo magmahal!
If that's love, I don't fucking want it. I refuse to believe that's really what love is. Coz I've seen better. Selfish lang talaga kayo magmahal. I don't want it. Umuwi ka na, Dad. Please. Fix your family. Fix what can still be fixed. Kasi tayo? Matagal na tayong nasira when you decided to give up on our family. It's not something you can just restart kasi nandamay kayo ng iba, e. Nandamay kayo ng iba. Tanda nyo na. Di pa kayo nakuntento.

Milly:
You will never see me unless you break up.

Daddy:
Anak naman.
Ayaw mo bang mabuo tayo?

Milly:
Mabuo???
Tayo???
What about my brothers and sisters? What about Clea? Kinsley and Lia? Yohan? Xerxes and Sammy? Are you gonna break their hearts too?
Did you ever think about them?

Milly:
What about tita Kat? Okay sure. She had you when you were married. You both were cheating on Mom. But what about Rickard? What about him? He's innocent in this! He's done nothing but be a faithful husband to mom!

Daddy:
That's not true.
He's cheating on your mom and she doesn't deserve that.

Milly:
Coming from you?
Wow!
He's cheating so you cheat too?
That makes it okay?

Daddy:
I'm divorcing Kat na, anak.
Nakapag-usap na kami kagabi.
Maaayos din to. Matagal na rin naman kaming may problema.

Milly:
Fuck that!
I'm so sick of this.
Ang selfish nyo!
I can't believe you're turning my brothers and sisters into me! I can't believe you're breaking them like how you broke me!
Why do you keep doing this?!

Daddy:
Mahal ko ang mama mo, anak. Sa maniwala ka man o sa hindi.
Kung meron man akong naging pagkakamali, yun yung binitawan ko tayo. I should've fought for our family harder.

Milly:
But you didn't.
You let her do whatever the hell she wanted and you went to another woman the moment she let you.
And you gave zero damn about me. The daughter you were leaving behind.
You started another family, Dad. Wake up. It's too late.
Wala nang tayo.
Matagal nang sira pamilya natin.
Is that what love is? Okay lang masaktan yung iba basta nagmamahalan kayo? Is that really love? Why is your love so selfish and painful kung ganon?!

Milly:
You broke my heart when you had your family without me.
And you still keep breaking my heart, I can't even count how many times anymore.
But it's fine. I'm okay. I'm used to this.

Milly:
But not my sibs, please.
At least spare them.
Yohan, Xerx, and Sammy are still young.
You made your stupid decisions. Please be smarter this time.
Bumalik ka na kay Tita Kat and for the love of God, send Mom back to her husband.
Or have her divorce him.
I don't fucking care.

Milly:
And neither should you.
