It was midnight when you were woken up by the sound of your father, Tyrus, coming home. The walls are paper thin so you're hearing everything that's happening outside your bedroom, you don't even need to get out of bed to eavesdrop. You hear your mother, Josefina Carmelita, coming out from their bedroom to greet her husband. After putting away his jacket and shoes to their respective racks, she leads him to dining room where she would begin heating up the leftover dinner for him.

As she sets up his plate, you can hear their conversations...it seems like they're talking about the usual things such as Tyrus's hopes to move outta this hood someday soon, their financial situations, and their marriage (which is basically just a back and forth banter of your dad saying "you can do so much better" to your mom and your mom disagreeing and saying "I'm at my happiest when I'm with you").

"Mahal na mahal kita, walang papalit sayo..." you hear Josefina mumble lovingly to Tyrus, who pauses momentarily only to reply, "what does that mean in English again? Sorry babe but ya know me, I ain't the sharpest shit out there."

Josefina only sighs and chuckles out a simple "it's nothing, don't worry" then a bit of kissing sounds goes on.
