Third person point of view

Today is Ayara's birthday, Ria and Ayara's family were getting ready at their house but Ayara was not there because she had an important trip but she'll be back, she said. Ayara didn't know that because she forgot that it was her birthday today.

On the other hand, Mikhael never appeared to her again.

When Ayara got home, she was surprised that her friends were there.

"What are you guys doing here?" Ayara asked.

"Ayara? It's your day, nakalimutan mo na ba?" Shana asked back.

"Oh, right" Ayara responded and scratched her nape.

"Akyat lang ako sa kwarto" Ayara added and ran towards her room

"Wait Ayara!" Sophia shouted.

"Hayaan mo na iha bababa rin yan mamaya" Mrs. Arcallana said.

They continued to prepare for Ayara's birthday even though they knew her day was not happy because of what happened yesterday.

After an hour Ayara came down again. When she came down, Shana was surprised because she looked like she had just come back from crying.

"Ayara?! What happened? Bakit ka umiyak?" Sophia worriedly asked.

"Napuwing lang, ikaw naman" Ayara responded back and laughed.

"Ano yon dalawang mata mo napuwing ng kung ano?" Sophia asked, to confirm that Ayara really cried.

"Hindi nga, I swear" Ayara said and tapped Sophia's shoulder.

"Tara na let's eat" she added.

If you notice, Ayara has very few guests and these are her family and her friends. They didn't invite a lot of people because they knew Ayara wouldn't be happy there either.

After some hours, it's already late and mr and mrs. Arcallana went upstairs but they already gave their gift to Ayara and greeted their beloved daughter.

"Happy birthday our tita" Shana greeted Ayara and handed her a gift.

"Thank you" Ayara said and smiled.

"Happy birthday Ayara, this is our gift" Ria said and handed Ayara a gift as well as Sophia.

"Thank you girlies, sorry nakalimutan ko na birthday ko today, stress lang lately"

"We know na hindi ka pa nakakarecover, well kahapon lang yon e pero always remember na we're here for you ha" Sophia said.

"I'm okay guys, really" Ayara said and forced a smile.

"Let's drink, for heads up" Shana said and pulled Ayara towards Ayara's room while Ria and Sophia are holding a liquor.

When they got to Ayara's room, they went to the balcony and there they were going to drink.

"Let's enjoy your day Ayara hm? Step aside your problems and enjoy your 27th birthday" Ria said and pour a liqour in their cup.

"Cheers for Ayara" Ria said and raised her cup.

"Cheers!" They all said and raised their cup except for Ayara.

They laugh and tease each other the whole time just to make Ayara happy because they don't want to see their friend sad especially since today is her birthday.

.

After some time, Shana was already asleep while sitting but the three were still talking.

"I excuse myself, Ayara pa-use ng bathroom ha" Ria said and stood up, Ayara just nodded.

After using the restroom, she was about to leave the bathroom when she noticed something in the sink. She reached out for it while her hands were shaking and felt nervous.

"T-two line"

Ria came out of the bathroom holding the pregnancy test and went towards them.

"Mind explaning this?" Ria said and threw the pregnancy test at the table.

"What's that?" Sophia curiously asked but when she realized that it was a pregnancy test, her eyes widened.

"R-Ria...where did you find that?" Ayara asked nervously.

"Where did I find that? Naiwan mo lang naman sa sink mo, why? Planning to hide things for us?" Ria asked.

"Ria no, it's not like that..let me explain, hindi ko talaga alam kung paano yan nangyari" Ayara answered stuttering.

"Magsisinungaling ka pa sa'min, who's the father of the child, Ayara!?" Malaria shouted.

"Ria, hindi ko talaga alam.." Ayara responded in tears and tried to calm Ria down.

"Tangina naman Ayara, iniingatan ka namin tapos ganito lang mangyayari, sinong gagong lalaki yan?! Kasal ka Ayara, kasal ka" Ria shouted and started to cry.

Shana woke up because of the noise. "What's happening?" She asked but he was surprised to see Ayara and Ria crying, while Sophia was just stunned while staring at the table so Shana looked where she was looking.

"W-what's this?" Shana asked and took the pregnancy test.

"Ayara's pregnant, she's hiding it from us" Ria said while staring firmly at Ayara.

"Ria hindi ko naman gustong itago sainyo, ayoko lang kayong biglain lalo na nag eenjoy kayo dahil birthday ko, maniwala ka naman sakin please" Ayara begged and suddenly knelt in front of Ria.

"Birthday mo pero ikaw may pa-surprise sa'min" Ria said sarcastically while wiping her tears.

"Aalis na ako" Ria responded and left immediately, Ayara tried to chase her but Shana and Sophia stopped her.

"S-shana..S-sophia please maniwala kayo sa'kin, hindi ko alam kung s-sino ama ng dinadala ko" Ayara begged and was about to kneel down when Shana stopped her.

"Naniniwala kami sa'yo okay? Magpahinga kana at mag-usap tayo nang maayos bukas" Sophia replied and helped Ayara to the bed.

"Magpahinga kana, babalik kami bukas para makipag-usap sayo" Shana said and tucked Ayara in the blanket.

"Thank you guys, thank you" Ayara said as Shana and Sophia hugged her very tight.

They waited for Ayara to fall asleep before leaving. When Ayara fell asleep, the two slowly left the room and closed the door tightly.

"Let's find Mikhael first, kailangan niyang malaman 'to and after that, hahanapin natin ang ama ng dinadala ni Ayara" Shana said seriously while getting into the car.
