The past couple of months had been a roller coaster ride. Ever since they admitted that they were together, Aga and Lea have been jumping from one interview to another, answering questions that seemed 'nakakakilig' at first, but then got annoying as they were repeated over and over again. 


She told Aga she needed a break, and her boyfriend, being the most thoughtful person ever, asked if he could take her away for three days.  


"Are you sure we should be doing this?" she asked him for the nth time that day. Aga, who was driving, took her hand, and brought it to his lips. 


"Babes, three days lang. Let's leave them all behind. You deserve a break din naman."


"Made-delay na naman ang release ng movie, Babes..."


"So? Nakapag-antay nga ang fans natin ng 20 years, ano ba naman 'yung ilang linggo?"


"And Inang's okay with it?"


The traffic was building up in front of them, so Aga slowed the car down to a stop. He then faced her. "As long as we bring back a baby daw."


"Siraulo!"


"What?"


"Akala ko ba ako muna baby mo?"


He giggled. "Yeah, you're a baby alright."


"Hey, just because I want to go to Disneyland means im a baby!"


Another giggle escaped from his lips. "It's okay, Babes. I love baby-ing you. I'll always baby you," he said, sweetly. "Ikaw muna, habang ayaw mo pang gumawa ng baby."


She reached for the bottle of sanitizer beside her and threw it at him. He just laughed, before starting the car again. 


Yes, they were going to Hongkong Disneyland. Three long days without the media. Just her and Aga, walking around, holding hands, trying to get a sense of normalcy, even if it's just temporary.

Lea was quickly proven wrong when she thought the next three days would be stress-free. Due to the traffic build-up, they arrived at the airport an hour before their scheduled flight. This did not sit well with Lea, and she unknowingly blamed Aga for it.


"I told you we should have left earlier!"


"Babes, we have plenty of time..."


Of course,he would say that;he didn't care about arriving early for anything, after all.


"Alam mo namang ang haba ng pila, diba? Ano ba naman kasi 'yung gumising ka nang maaga, kahit today lang. It's a Monday, after all. Malamang, traffic. My God, Aga."
