Milly: I'm home. Kayo?
Engr. Aviado: Still driving.
Milly: Aight. Lemme know when you're home.
8:28 PM
Engr. Aviado: Dito na.
Milly: How's Kylie? Is she okay now?
Engr. Aviado: Di pa rin ako kinakausap.
Milly: Ikaw kasi. You should've been nicer to her.
Engr. Aviado: Mali ba sinabi ko? I meant it for good.
Milly: Kahit pa. It's not nice to police your sister's clothes.
Engr. Aviado: She's young. A minor. Di tama na nagsusuot siya ng maiikli.
Milly: It's not even short shorts? Do you rly want your sister to wear pants everywhere? Kahit ba dress bawal?
Engr. Aviado: When she's old enough, she can do what she wants.
Milly: That's why your sister's getting upset with you.
Engr. Aviado: Look. I know where you're driving at. I'm not doing it because I see anything wrong with her choice of clothes. It's Mom. Ayoko lang mag-away sila.
Milly: Your sister told me ikaw lang kakampi nya sa bahay. Na ikaw lang nakakaintindi sa kanya. But she won't be able to understand you if you don't explain yourself better.
Would it rly hurt you to tell her that's your reason? She would've understood you better, yenno.
I know I'm overstepping. I just don't want Kylie to think she's alone and I don't want you two to fight. It's sad when you both obvi love each other so much.
Engr. Aviado: She's not. And you're not.
Milly: Wbu? When are you planning to talk to us? Kung di pa sinabi ng kapatid mo, we won't know. You're moving to Cebu? What about WYLD?
Engr. Aviado: Kaya nyo naman na yon.
Milly: Did you resign from work for good?
Engr. Aviado: Kahapon lang. Dad's assigning me to Cebu. I don't know how long I'll be gone for kaya kayo na munang bahala.
Milly: Tapos you didn't even tell us. When are you planning to inform us? Does Kuya know na?
Engr. Aviado: I'll tell him later. Ikaw unang nakaalam.
Milly: Sigh. I wish you told us from the start. It's a bummer you won't be there for the relaunch when we worked so hard.
Engr. Aviado: Kasama ka naman na ni Evander. Sigurado na kong magiging maayos yan.
Milly: Now you trust me.
Engr. Aviado: Nakikita ko naman lahat ng ginagawa mo, Milly.
Milly: When are you leaving?
Engr. Aviado: Asap.
Milly: How soon is asap?
Engr. Aviado: Next week.
Milly: That soon? Tapos pinagalitan mo pa kapatid mo? Makipagbati ka na kaya.
Engr. Aviado: Pano ba? Sisters are complicated. Lalo na tong si Kylie.
Milly: Haha. I get you. Just be sincere. Just say what you really feel. Don't bother cushioning her from that. That's how.
Engr. Aviado: Ayokong magalit siya kay Mama.
Milly: So you'll choose to play the villain? Give your sister some credit. Kung ipapaintindi mo, it won't come to that. But you need to try to communicate more.
