Mula sa TV ay bumaling ang binata sa kanya. "Araw-araw mo 'yang tinatanong at araw-araw ko ding sinasabi ang kaparehong sagot. Yes we'll stay here for a week."

Tinignan niya ito ng masama. "Nabobore na ako. We've been here for five days at wala tayong ibang ginawa kundi humilata, kumain o di kaya magsex."

"I'm not embarrassed or anything. It's just that, it feels so uncomfortable hearing the word coming from a woman."
