INT. AIRPORT — EARLY MORNING

Dionysus sets the frequency of the radio app in his phone to his university's station. He wears his earpods and taps his left foot on the floor as he patiently waits to connect. He finally hears her cheerful voice and he immediately smiles.

ARIADNE
Good morning, Serendiptians! I hope we'll all have a nice Wednesday as we push through our acads and upcoming midterms!

VIOLET
And please don't forget to bring your umbrellas because it's rainy outside.

Dionysus decided to dial their station's number. He doesn't know if they will pick up because they don't have a caller segment for today.

ARIADNE
Someone's calling.

VIOLET
Dahil magbabakasyon kami ni Aria, pagbibigyan namin ang caller natin na 'to.

Violet answers the phone and Dionysus clears his throat.

VIOLET
Yes, hello?

DIONYSUS
Returning caller lang ako kasi ayos na 'yung love problem ko. Salamat.

Violet laughs when she recognized his voice. The phone is on a loud speaker that is why Ariadne can hear him too.

VIOLET
Please introduce yourself to our listeners.

DIONYSUS
Hi! I'm Dionysus Corpuz, or Bacchus if by my codename. From CBA. Commerce represent!

ARIADNE
So... masaya ka na ba ngayon?

DIONYSUS
Sa'yo, oo.

DIONYSUS
Salamat, DJ Aria. Ikaw lang pala ang solusyon.

The three of them laugh before Dionysus speaks again.

DIONYSUS
And I called because... I wanted to hear your voice before I board the plane.

DIONYSUS
I'll wait for you in Australia.

Ariadne bites her lower lip to stop herself from smiling again. Kanina pa kasi siya inaasar ni Violet na kulang na lang ay mapunit ang labi niya kakangiti dahil sa tawag si Dionysus.

ARIADNE
Ingat ka.

DIONYSUS
Tsaka ano, last na bago ako sumakay...

DIONYSUS
Gusto ko lang sabihin na hindi mo na ako kailangang ligawan.

DIONYSUS
Ako na ang gagawa n'yan.

Dionysus drops the call and Violet immediately pulls Ariadne's hair as they scream in happiness, not caring if their listeners would hear their kilig.
