1. DAY. BUS TERMINAL – HOT DAY.

Two sisters, DARYLL (21) and JULIA (18), both college students, are waiting for the bus to arrive, bags stacked around them.

 

DARYLL

Ang tagal ng jeep! Tapos ang init pa! Tatlong beses na tayo sige transfer bus from Davao to Gensan, Gensan to Koronadal, plus Koronadal to Tacurong. Pagkatapos, ganito pa ngayon.

 

JULIA

Ate, anong oras ba dadating ‘yung papuntang Isulan?

 

DARYLL

Finally, after one million years, ayan na.

 

Bus enters.

 

2. INSIDE THE BUS. 

​

DARYLL

1.. 2.. 3.. 4.. Hala, HALA! Skincare bag ko!

​

JULIA

Hala! Get it na! (kemi)

 

DARYLL

Contemplating…

 

BUS CONDUCTOR

Isulan! Isulan! Pa-Isulan ni nga bus ha. Larga na ta! Palihog ko check daan sa inyo gamit para way problema.

 

DARYLL

To hell with it, KUYA STOP THE BUS!

 

JULIA

Ate, ATE WAIT!

 

3. BUS TERMINAL.

​

DARYLL

Hay thank god … Mahal pa naman ‘to

 

JULIA

Ate wait..

 

DARYLL

Ok na ko—Where’s your bag?!

 

JULIA

HALA! NAIWAN SA BUS! Kasalanan mo ‘to kasi sinundan kita!

 

DARYLL

And you didn’t check?! 

 

JULIA

I was too busy running after you! 

 

DARYLL

Dali lang, mag-pakyaw nalang tayo, we’ll catch up with the bus sa XX terminal

 

The two of them wait inside the tricycle, visibly irritated with the situation and the unbearable heat. A few seconds later, the same bus crashes into something.

 

JULIA

What happened

​

 

DARYLL

Lapit tayo..

 

They went closer to the crash site. They heard whispers saying it was a motorcycle accident.

​

DARYLL

Was it my fault? 

 

Few seconds later they find out that nobody was harmed and the bus only hit a parked motorcycle.

 

DARYLL

Ali, baka makasakay pa tayo sa bus.

 

JULIA

I’ll find my bag first.

 

DARYLL

(looks around) Puno naman.

 

JULIA

(with bag) You shouldn’t have bothered since the bus's departure is delayed now, anyway

 

The two sisters got off the bus with all of their luggage, avoiding the looks from bystanders. A tricycle driver approaches them.

 

TRICY DRIVER

Kamo tung nabanggaan, ga?

 

JULIA AND DARYLL

(looks at each other) No po / No

 

The two walk away, trying not to laugh.

 

 

DARYLL

Well, at least we got our suitcase back

 

Julia looks at her with a wry expression.

 

 

DARYLL

Don’t give me that look. Be thankful! This was God’s way of helping us out.

​

 

JULIA

Don’t kid yourself. God wouldn’t help you, you’re not important enough.

 

DARYLL

Let’s not go back to this terminal for the next few months.

 

They hailed another tricycle, and went.
