Mila
Evie, hi! I know it's late but are you free tomorrow afternoon?

Evie
Mila, hi! („• ֊ •„)
I only have duty sa clinic, but I can tell them I have something to do. Why?

Mila
Hmm. So hindi mo talaga nirereplyan yung isa? 🤣

Mila
Kawawa naman. But, yeah, make him work for it a little bit.

Evie
Oh, it's. . . not like that.

Mila
It's okay. You don't need to explain or tell me. That's between the two of you.

Mila
But I'm leaving tomorrow. Sa US na magpapagamot si Mommy, and I was hoping you can come with them sa airport to send me off?

Mila
It's okay if you're busy. Nagbakasakali lang ako.

Evie
I can make it! I will come send you off 🥹

Evie
Okay ka lang ba ngayon? How are you feeling?

Mila
Honestly? Scared.

Mila
Pero ayokong mahalata nila yun para mas madali sa kanila na magpaalam sa akin. Baka umiyak eh.

Evie
It's okay to be scared. It's a new country after all. Kung dito nga, mahirap.

Mila
I know. And I don't really have any friends doon. Cousins, yeah. But I'm not sure how that will be kasi matagal ko na silang hindi nakita.

Evie
You can always talk to your boyfriend and friends here. Nandito sila for you. ❤️

Mila
Sorry? Boyfriend?

Evie
. . . si Jachin? (¯ . ¯٥)

Mila
Hahaha no, he's no longer my boyfriend. I don't think he ever was in the first place dahil sa ginawa ko. But that's a different story, and maybe, siya na lang magsasabi sayo.

Mila
I'm single, and so is he. Though, I think not for long 😄

Evie
Pero nag-usap kayo. . .

Mila
It doesn't mean we got back together.

Mila
It was simply a form of closure. For the both of us. So that he can heal and I can focus on not depending on him.

Evie
But he loves you. Do you not want to make it work?

Mila
And force myself to see him the way you see him?

Evie
Me? Uhm, I'm not sure what you mean, Mila.

Mila
You like him, Evie.

Evie
typing. . .

Mila
And don't say you don't for my sake. I'm okay, Evie, I promise.

Mila
And I'm sorry.

Evie
For what? (｡•́︿•̀｡)

Mila
For taking away what could've been your time with Jachin. For taking him away from you.

Evie
You didn't. Kahit pa nandito ako, he truly did want to be with you. He wanted you to be okay and healthy and happy.

Mila
And that's why I can't ask more from him. Kasi naibigay na niya. What I need him to do is focus on himself.

Mila
And you.

Evie
I. . . I didn't want to be a hindrance sa inyo. I still don't want to.

Mila
Kaya ba hindi mo siya kinakausap?

Evie
😓☹️😔😥💔
Mila reacted 😭

Mila
Please put him out of his misery and talk to him. Baka umiyak na yon.

Evie
I need to say sorry for not talking to him (｡•́︿•̀｡)

Evie
What if ayaw na niya akong kausapin?

Mila
If there's one thing you need to know about him, hindi yun kaagad sumusuko.

Mila
Nagtatampo nga lang 🤣
Evie reacted 😓

Mila
I'll see you tomorrow, Evie. And I appreciate having this talk with you.

Mila
It's like the final knot before I leave.

Evie
Thank you too (｡•́︿•̀｡)
And see you tomorrow! I will be there. Bright and early.
