Jema's POV

I had fun with Meg in boracay and her family was so cool as well. Ella was on a business trip with Mike. 

My phone rang ang It was Meg.

"Hey... Yeah.. I just got home.." sabi ko nalang 

"Sorry if hindi na kita na ihatid medyo out of way and my family were so tired so we needed to go home nadin" Meg said

"No worries.. and I had fun.. and I got home safe so just let me know when you're home.. ingat kayo" I said to her and binaba nga ang tawag.

Pagkababa ko ng phone nag ring ulet at sinagot ko agad.

"Yes Meg?" I said but it was a different voice.

"ay la.. sorry tumawag kasi si Meg akala ko sya ulet.. hindi natingnan ang registered name... watz up?" I said and I looked again the registered name si Ella pala.

"huh?... I thought nasa business trip ka... wait.. baba lang ako" I said and went outside medyo late na at nasa mga rooms na sila mama at tatay pati sila Mafe. 

"Kala ko nasa business trip ka" I said to her pagkabukas ko ng gate

"I did.. I just arrived.. Mike extended his stay for 2 days kasi sumunod ang mom nya" Ella said

"dali pasok ka... hindi ka nalang dumuretso sa inyo e.. at pagod na pagod ka oh" I said to her at kinuha ko ang dala nyang maleta

"Kumaen kana ba?? wait silipin ko lang kung may foods.. kakarating ko lang din e" I added pero pinigilan nya na ako magpunta ng kusina

"I am not hungry" Ella said then I held her hands papasok ng room. 

"Dali pahinga ka kunti saka ka magbuhos para makatulog na... mauna kana mag buhos.. after mo ako mag buhos medyo nanlalagkit na ako e." I said and Ella seems so tired. 

Ella went sa CR at nagbuhos and I took some of my clothes para may maisuot sya pamalit.

After ko mag buhos at lumabas na ako at nagbihis but Ella was no longer in my room.

I took my phone and I was calling her but she left her phone pala sa room. 

I went sa rooftop and nakahiga na si ella sa may foam.

"la.. bigla bigla ka naman nawala e" I said and lumapit sa kanya at umupo. My phone had sunod sunod na text notif.

I was smiling when I did a reply sa katext ko.

"Kala ko ba pagod kana.. tara na sa baba.. " I said after ko mag reply

"I like it here" Ella said 

Tara na lipat na sa tent para incase makatulog ka at ang bigat mo pag binuhat pa kita. 

I said at tumayo naman sya at inayos ang foam sa tent.

I stayed outside sa tent saglit kasi Meg was calling and after a few usap bumalik na ako sa tent. I told Meg that Ella's with me.

Nakapikit na si Ella and I was smiling looking at her. 

"Whose Meg?" Ella asked

nagtaka naman ako sa tanong nya.. 

"Meg.. the girl I introduced you sa cafe.. remember" I said and nakapikit padin si Ella. 

" I know.. but sino sya sa buhay mo?" Ella asked.

I sighed.

"Meg and I.. were good friends.. but.. I know.. Meg had a thing for me" I honestly said to Ella. "She did admit to me when I was in SG.. and she had a business trip when I resigned kaya.. I wasn't able to say goodbye in person to her and we never had seen each other until the other day." Sabi ko kay Ella and I was sitting na sa may tent

"You like her too?" Ella asked.

"Bakit ganyan mga tanong mo La?" I said and tumawa pa ako

"Just answer me" Ella said

"I don't know.. Masaya naman sya kasama.. mabait din naman... maybe I like her too but... " I said
