[ 3 missed call from Mikie ]

From: Mikie

Nins, call me when you can. 

Kumunot noo ko nang mabasa ko yong text ni Mikie pero medyo kinabahan na rin ako kasi hindi naman siya ganiyan magt-text unless napakaseryoso or importante ang pag-uusapan namin . Hindi ko namasdan phone ko kasi naghold si Faiza ng team meeting tungkol sa susunod na private viewing para sa isang artist na kami ang maghahandle.

Gabi na ako nakapagcheck ng phone ko. Nagdadalawang isip akong tawagan siya considering how late it was in the Philippines. Madaling araw na ata? I sat on the floor of my apartment, staring at my phone. A part of me wanted to dismiss it, call him in the morning when we was awake but a part of me was worried. 

For what? I don't know.

I called his phone but no response.

To: Mikie

Hey. Kakatapos lang ng meeting ko.

The message said it was delivered but he didn't respond.

I called again.

No answer.

I was more worried about the fact that it could be something important. I didn't know who else to call. Maybe something happened to him. 

Hindi ako mapakali. 

I opened messenger and looked through my friends list to see who was active. Thank God I saw Selene was still awake.

Korine Ventaspejo:

Hi Sel!! I'm sorry for messaging you this late but I'm worried about Mikie. He isn't picking up. Do you know where he is? 

I held my breath as I watched the three dots emerge from the screen. She was typing. 

Selene Alexandria Lim: 

Hey Nins! I think he's with Emman & Rafa ata? Or at least that's what Emman told me. Magkasama pa ata sila ngayon. You can call him :) 

Korine Ventaspejo:

Thanks Sel! 

I searched for Emman's name on messenger and called him. I was praying he would answer. The odds were so slim but I wanted to try regardless. At least masasabi kong nagawa ko lahat, diba? The phone rang for quite some time and I kind of lost hope. Just when I was about to end the call, I heard Emman's voice on the other line.
