2 missed calls and 3 messages.
From: Dad.
Why aren't you picking up, KATHRYN FRANCHESKA BERNARDO?

From: Mom.
Baby as soon as you read this give us a call.
Napakagat ako ng labi. Medyo kinabahan ako sa text nila, baka kung may ano nang masamang nangyari. Medyo matagal tagal nadin kaming hindi nakapag-usap eh, busy daw kasi sila masyado. and the last time we talked on the phone, they're in a rush. Ayoko namang maging abala sa kanila. And with that, I immediately call them. It's already midnight, kung hindi lang ako nag-aalala pinabukas ko na to.
Calling Mom...
*triing..triing..triing
"Mom?"
"Nak! Buti naman at napatawag ka na. How are you?"
"I'm alright. Is there something wrong?
"Wala naman, your Dad wanted to tell you something... Ted come talk to your princess! – Hello, princess?"
"DAD! Akala ko kung ano na ho nangyari sa inyo ni Mommy diyan, pinag-alala niyo naman po ako eeeh. Ano po ba yung sasabihin niyo?"
"I'm sorry, haha. It's just that we're too excited. We have a good news for you."
"Spill it already."
"We're going home, within this week. Kakatapos lang ng contract ng Mommy mo sa mga investors. But we don't know until when. So we decided to visit you there. And..... don't bother to pick us at the airport, thanks to your ninong kasi nagpadala na siya ng magsusundo sa amin. Okay?"
"Okay po. By the way Dad tell Mom, I already visited ninong and ninang. Regards from them."
"Yea, yea. Regards from us too. Be careful, alright? We need to pack up now. See you soon, we love you. Bye."
Then we ended the call.
I checked my inbox, again. Sh*t, tatlo na ang text ng mahal ko.
From: Baby monster.
1. I'm home. I missed you already.
2. Hey babe, are you asleep? I love you.
3. Sino kausap mo? I'm trying to reach you, but your phone were busy. Tsk.
My guy makes me annoyingly griddy. But screw it, I felt his sweetness though. Nagreply na din ako sa kanya agad. Baka magtampo na naman to, seloso eh.
To: Baby monster.
Sorry babe, I had a convo with my parents. Wag kang seloso diyan and no need to deny. I can sense it. Miss mo na ako agad, I love you too.

From: Baby monster.
Akala ko kung sino na yang kausap mo eh. Matulog ka na, late na oh. I love you so much from the bottom of my abdomen!

Novela Juvenil"Kaya kong mag-isa, kaya ko kahit wala ka – kayang sabihin ng isip ko, pero hindi kailanman ng puso ko, dahil hindi magwawakas ang pag-ibig ko – kailan ba tama ang maiwan, kailan magiging masakit ang mawalan – kailan ako muling mabubuhay."
