Neve:
Milliebells, Master. Nasa bahay lang ba kayo?

Milly:
I'm here. Master went out tho. She's meeting Anna daw.

Neve:
Wow, ang aga naman ng lakad ni Master?

Milly:
Right? Such a morning person na haha. Shocker.

Neve:
Ikaw ba, be. Natulog ka na ba? 😅 Gising ka na ba o gising pa? Aga mo rin.

Milly:
Hahaha I did sleep naman. A few hours nga lang. Why are you asking if we're home ba?

Neve:
Nagtatanong kasi si Mama. Papadala raw siya ng niluto niya. Nabanggit ko kasing lagi kayong puro order lang sa labas ni Master. Mahihintay mo ba?

Milly:
Aww!! Tita doesn't have to do that! Send her my love! 🥺

Neve:
Pa-thank you rin ni Mama 'to kasi inampon mo 'ko ng ilang buwan.
Wala ako sa bahay. Si bunso na lang mag-book. Pa-wait na lang, oki?

Milly:
Aight. I miss you <3 Come back naaa. Condo's not the same without you talaga! 🥺

Neve:
1 week pa lang naman, be 😆
Pero oo nga. I miss you both na kagad. Nanibago ako bigla pag-uwi. Nasanay na 'ko na lagi ko kayo nakikita. Matutuloy naman yung Ilocos 'no? 🥺

Milly:
Yup, my sched's all blocked na for that. Are you bringing your friends?

Neve:
Pumayag na sina Ino. Kayo ba? Ayain nyo ba sina Nixon? Tsaka sina Aqui?

Milly:
LD can't make it, busy as always. The girls are busy too. Only Spiro and Ollie agreed. They can alternate driving daw. Are your three musketeers bringing their own car? Or should we just get a shuttle lmao.

Neve:
Grabe naman sa shuttle, be. Very RK talaga, naks 🥹
Magdadala naman daw si Isaiah. Sama-sama na siguro silang tatlo doon.

Milly:
Where ka sasabay?

Neve:
S'yempre sa inyo. Ayaw nyo ba? 😅

Milly:
Haha just making sure! Will Vallejo be fine w our trip? Haha Ollie will be with us.

Neve:
Wala naman kaso sa kanya. 'Di naman seloso si Kamahalan 😊

Milly:
Really.

Neve:
Yes 😊

Milly:
Good for him then 😂
Can't wait to go on a trip with you ulit 😘

Neve:
Same. Excited na rin ako 🙏🏻
See you both!!

Kairos:
May gagawin ka ba bukas?

Milly:
Hey, baby :)
No sched naman. Just going to stay in and write my songs. Are you done with your date with Kylie?

Kairos:
Magkasama pa kami.
Dumating na yung vase na nabasag ko. Ibibigay ko sayo bukas kung wala kang gagawin.

Milly:
Mom's vase? I thought we're buying that together?

Kairos:
Nakahanap ako online. Pano ko to ibibigay sayo?

Milly:
If you're not busy, we can just meet at our place.
I also wanna spend time with you coz I'll be very busy for 2-3 weeks din siguro.

Kairos:
May trabaho ka?

Milly:
Yes and no. I have back-to-back events lined up next week. Then I'm going out na with Ran and Neve after. Ilocos kami. Wanna come?

Kairos:
Di pwede. Di na ko papayagan mag-leave.

Milly:
Thought so 🙃
Spiro and Ollie will be coming with us ah. Just a heads up. And Neve's friends.

Kairos:
Ah.
Busy nga.

Milly:
Haha, I'm letting you know so you won't be surprised when you see our photos online. You can always join.
Vallejo's coming back so we're surprising Neve. That's the only reason why kasama friends niya.

Kairos:
Di mo naman kailangan magpaliwanag. Nagbibiro lang ako. Mag-ingat na lang kayo doon.

Milly:
I want to, tho.
Also, I'll be out but I'm still expecting you to send your meal, k?

Kairos:
Haha oo na. Ayaw mo talaga ako tigilan dyan.

Milly:
Ofc. At least in that way, it feels like we're having a meal together :p

Kairos:
Tumawag ka na lang. Napupuno na ng pagkain yung cell phone ko. Nagtatanong na sakin si Kylie bakit ganon laman ng gallery ko.

Milly:
Haha what did you say?

Kairos:
Di ko sinagot.

Milly:
And she let you? 😮

Kairos:
Syempre hindi. Alam mo naman gano kakulit to.

Milly:
Hahaha. So cute.
I'll try to call na lang, but no promises coz idk din if I'll get the chance to do so din. I don't rly want my friends to wonder why we're videocalling so much haha.

Kairos:
Ikaw bahala.
Sunduin na lang kita bukas. Hatid ko muna si Kylie pauwi.

Milly:
Kk. Take care on the road, my loves 😘

Spiro:
Dude

Milly:
Yo

Spiro:
Inaya ka raw kahapon ng kapatid ni Uriel sa party sa kanila
Di ka raw pupunta? Mamaya na yon

Milly:
Ah. Yeah. I declined. If it's an invite coming from his brother, I know where that's gna lead. I'm not really in the mood to play around with him.

Spiro:
Bakit
Pupunta sina Dani ah

Milly:
Not in the mood lang talaga. I'm not interested getting into bed with him. He'll just bore me to death🤷🏻‍♀️

Spiro:
Sabi mo noon he's one of the best ones lol

Milly:
Used to be haha. You know naman who I want now.
I'd rather keep myself busy with something else than fuck someone else.

Spiro:
Di pa exclusive ng lagay na yan ah hahaha puta

Milly:
Hahaha. Hay, Spirs. The game's getting rly old na lang talaga. I want something new. And none of those boys can give it to me.

Spiro:
Ang sabihin mo
May iba ka lang talagang gusto haha

Milly:
Well true. But we both know that naman na haha.
Speaking of, can we use your car for Ilocos? Can't use Ollie's car na raw. His brother borrowed it. I don't wanna use ours naman. My dad will insist that I bring the driver too.

Spiro:
Ge lang
Sunduin ko na lang kayo

Milly:
Yay! Thanks, Spirs. You da best!

Gising ka pa ba?

Milly:
Hey, baby 😘
Yup, still awake pa naman. Nahatid mo na si Kylie?

Kairos:
Oo. Nakauwi na ko.
Are you busy?

Milly:
No naman. What's up?

Kairos:
Call me. I need to see you.

Milly:
Sure, but what's w the tone?
Something wrong?

Kairos:
Call me.

Milly:
Aight, wait.

Calling . . .

Call ended . . .

Milly:
What time do you think you'll get to finish that?

Kairos:
I don't know. Not anytime soon. This will take me days.

Milly:
Damn. I hate how he's dumping work on you. Within work and outside of work. It's weekends pa, and you're not even saying no 🙄

Kairos:
Ayoko ng gulo. Mahabang usapan pa pag tumanggi ako. Gusto lang kita makita para makapagpahinga ako.

Milly:
Babe.
What if I pick you up na lang? You need to rest too but you won't get to do that there coz you brought work home w you 😒
There's this place I wanna bring you to.

Kairos:
Where?

Milly:
It's a surprise 😉
It's where I go when I'm pissed. Or tired. Or just wanna be alone.
What do you think?

Kairos:
I'll drive.

Milly:
No no. I'll do that. You just rest. I'll take care of you tonight.

Kairos:
I told you.
I don't let my women drive.

Milly:
Okay, fine. No winning talaga against you.
But bring spare clothes, just in case.

Kairos:
San ba tayo pupunta?

Milly:
I'll tell you later.
Just bring spare things in case we end up staying there.

Kairos:
Fine. Give me ten minutes. I'll wrap this up and then I'll go.

Milly:
Are you sure you don't want me to drive na lang? I've been here at home lang naman the whole day. I'm not tired.

Kairos:
No.
Hintayin mo na lang ako.

Milly:
K, fine. Do you eat sandwiches?
I'll prep so we have snacks on the road.

Kairos:
San ba kasi tayo pupunta?
Malayo ba?

Milly:
Haha, spoilers.
It's not far, dw. I'll prep snacks lang coz we won't have available food there.

Kairos:
Pinag-isip mo pa ko.
Tawag na lang ako pag malapit na ko.

Milly:
Kk. See you later, baby.
