5-Minute Story... Mad Love

One day, I accidentally sat beside two lunatics and heard them talking…

Lunatic 1: Saan na mama mo? (Where’s your mama?)
Lunatic 2: Bilog, boy… Kailan? (Circle, boy… When?)
L1: Flat yung gulong… (The tire’s flat...)

They are having non-sense talk so I decided to leave. When I was about to stand up, I heard them speak again…

L2: Kailan nagiging martir ang pag-ibig? (When is love a martyr?)
L1: Kapag dinidiligan yung kahoy na panggatong… (When firewood is watered…)

I guess I’ve wasted another minute. I stood up and started to walk. But I stopped when I heard the other one continue…

L1: …umaasa pang mabuhay, magkakadahon, mamumukadkad at magbubunga… kahit wala nang pag-asa… (…hoping it will live, will have leaves, will flower and will bear fruit… even when there’s nothing left…)
