"Nagiging makulit ako, because I don't want you to be alone here. Alam kong we're not close, but my house is always available. I'm Ella DJ by the way, sorry nakalimutan kong mag introduction kanina" Ella said
Jema bit her lip to stop herself from smiling
"Ka inis! bat ang cute? nakaka asar"Jema thought
"So, miss... Since your friend is not replying, nor answering your calls, let's go to my place instead. Don't worry, Wala akong balak na masama sayo" Ella said
