*at her grandparents house*

Belle was scrolling to her FaceGram after she felt happy of what she saw, her latest post got 100+ likes already.

As she was scrolling to her FG, she noticed someone who met her a while ago, she wants to follow her but what if she didn't know her?

She was about to continue scrolling but then, she sneezed and accidentally followed her.

*with Rowena*

She opened her phone and was notified on Instagram, she has a new follower and it was Belle, the one she shared her umbrella with. While scrolling to her account, she noticed a message coming from her.

*on chat*
B: Hi po ate, I am sorry na napindot ko yung follow, teka lang, iuunfollow kita.
R: No, don't do that, nakita ko yung followers list ko and I am glad to have a new follower.
B: Thanks pero parang familiar ka...from me.
R: Hulaan ko, ikaw ba yung nasa MRT kanina?
B: Hala! Nalaman mo rin!
R: Don't worry beh, mabait akong tao at hindi naman ako nangangagat ng tao.
R: By the way, my name is Rowena, how about you?
B: I am Belle, dati akong nakatira sa America for 10 years and nasa bahay ako ng lolo at lola ko.
R: Where are your parents?
B: My dad died and my mom and sisters hates me.
R: Oh thats sad anyways lets meet tomorrow at (sends location).
B: Uhhh sure...
R: Well actually I need to sleep na and it is getting late and BTW, nice meeting you Belle, I hope we can be friends.
B: It's nice meeting you din Rowena, good night.
*end of chat*

"Hayyyst! Kailangan ko nang pahinga ngayon..." She said and later received a call from Joseph.

"Alam mo Joseph, I keep on declining your calls while I am chatting with Belle noh? Nakakadistract ka talaga eh noh..., hindi ka pa ba titigil?🙄🙄🙄" Rowena said as she turned her phone off and went to sleep.

*the next day at LRT entrance*

"Babe, finally, bakit hindi mo inaaccept yung mga tawag ko?" Joseph said while meeting Rowena.

"Oh uh, nalowbat yung cellphone ko kaya hindi ko naaccept." She said.

"Lowbat? Eh paano ka naging active sa FaceGram? Ano yun, may isang gadget ka pa para maging active ka?" 

"Pwede ba, I don't want Q and A's muna Joseph ok? And kaya ko pinatay ang cellphone ko dahil, you keep on distracting me... I-I was just chatting a friend lang tapos, nakuha mo pang tawagan ako... galing mo talaga kahit kailan eh... and isa pa I am going to an important place today."

"Really babe? Saan yun? Hayysst...sana sa Binondo tayo today eh noh? Sige sasama ako sayo at babawi ako, anyways, I will invite someone to join with me, tatawagan ko si Nino para-" Joseph said and Rowena cut him off.

"No, hindi pwede and secret lang yung lugar na pupuntahan ko since this is important for my privacy lang noh? And please, stop calling me babe!!! We are not dating!!!" Rowena said and left.

"What? Foodtrip na nga lang tayo babe, tumatanggi ka pa rin?" Joseph said to himself and went to the  bus station.
