FLASHBACKS
"Aries, Deb, sorry. I have to go home. Pia texted me already. Baka sermunan na naman ako 'pagdating ko."
"Ako rin. Tinext na ako ni Sandro at ni Jill, galit na naman panigurado 'yon." Frank stopped when he noticed an almost unconscious Joaquin. "Teka e paano 'to?"
"De pareng Anton at Frank, mauna na kayo. Kaya ko sarili ko. Papahinga lang ako saglit"
"Sigurado ka? Gusto mo ba tawagan namin si Dennise para sana masundo ka dito?" Deb insisted. He laughed.
"No thank you. Ni hindi nga nagte-text o tumatawag man lang sa akin ngayon. Dennise doesn't care anymore so huwag nalang. I can manage myself." He answered. Ynel is waiting for the right time to talk.
"Joaquin pasensiya na talaga. Kailangan na namin umuwi. Mag-message ka nalang sa group chat kung nakauwi ka na!" Anton told him, rushing. Frank bade his goodbye too.
Now Aries, Deb, Ynel, and Joaquin were left inside. The couple needs to clean up as well because they will check Sandro after.
"Uhm...if you don't mind? I'll send Joaquin home." Ynel informed, fidgeting her fingers. Deb slightly inclined her head as if lowkey saying no. Aries looked at his wife first.
"Ynel, sure ka ba? Hindi ba nakakaabala sa'yo? Kasi pwede namang dito muna matulog si Joaquin. May spare room naman kami sa taas." Aries told her.
"Ano ba kayo, it's nothing. Tsaka kaibigan ko naman siya at alam ko na kung paano ang daan pauwi sa kanila. Baka kasi nag-aalala na si Dennise dito" she said pointing out Joaquin's direction.
"I don't claim any negative energy in here, Aries." Deb hissed before rolling her eyes. "I don't trust her!" then silently added.
"Babes, hindi naman na bago sa atin si Ynel. Kaibigan naman natin siya. Baka nagma-magandang loob lang siya kay Jo—" Aries replied. Not a bad thing because their small fight wasn't that obvious to Ynel's perspective.
"Nope!" she cut him off. "Kaibigan niyo lang. Hindi ko, hindi naming mga babae. Basta ako, I don't trust her and her innocent looking face ever since!" she annoyingly told Aries emphasizing every word before walking out.
He sighed before turning around to face Ynel. Waiting for his answers. He nodded finally. "Ah, Ynel. If makakaabala sa'yo, sige you can send him home. Sabi mo naman alam mo na kung saan ang address nila 'di ba?"
"Oo naman. Sige, mauna na kami. Salamat pala ngayong gabi. I had so much fun."
Aries smiled before leaving the two.

Carrying Joaquin in her arms, she managed to turn the lights on inside her condo unit. She doesn't know what came into my mind why she followed Joaquin's instruction earlier. He said he doesn't want to go home yet. He does not want Dennise to see him like what he is right now.
