PART 85 (FINAL PART)

THIRD PERSON'S POV

7 years Later

"Yes Mom. I already arrived here sa Paris. Kamusta si Dad?" Aiah said to the other line.

"Okay na siya. Nagulat nga ako hindi siya umiyak ng sobra" Her mom said.

Pagkatapos mamatay ng lover ng mon niya, her mom went back to cavite and there, she met Aiah's father again. Parehas silang nag decide na kalimutan na ang masamang nangyari nung past and started a new life. Kahit si Aiah nagulat nung umuwi siya ng sem break nila nakita niya mom niya sa kitchen na nagluluto.

"Lagi siyang umiiyak kapag pumupunta ako overseas" Aiah said and rolled her eyes.

"I need to go mom. I love you. Tell dad I love him too. Tatawag nalang ulit ako mamaya." She said bago niya patayin yung call.

Ang reason kung bakit niya pinatay kasi nakita niya ang girls na papalapit na sa kanya. The 7 of them travelled together to paris yesterday.

"Pwede bang mag stay na muna tayo sa hotel? Umiikot pa yung ulo ko sa hilo" Stacey said.

Stacey, Maloi, Sheena is now a certified food critic. Nakuha nila ang license nila last year and the demand for them is surprisingly high. They just started working for months but their schedule has been quite busy.

"Pwede bang i remind niyo kami kung bakit kami nandito?" Jhoanna said.

"Bakit? Ayaw niyo ba mag spend ng holiday kasama kami mga engineers" Maloi said in a cute way.

Jhoanna, Colet and Gwen became licensed engineers a year earlier lang kila Stacey. Nagtatrabaho sila sa isang malaking company bago pa sila mag patayo ng sariling robotics company.

"Of course. I do my sweet little panda" Colet said and pinch Maloi's cheeks.

"Get a room" Aiah playfully said.

"Nasaan si anne?" She asked her friends nung napansin niyang her cousin was missing. Anne is also working for Aiah as an intern.

"Akala naman namin kasama mo siya" Sheena said.

And as if on cue, Anne suddenly appeared with a frown written all over her face.

"What's gotten you so grumpy naman?" Jhoanna asked.

"Where have you been?" Aiah crossed her arm and raised one of her eyebrows towards Anne but it doesn't affect her cousin.

Anne rolled her eyes in annoyance nung maalala niya yung nangyari just a few minutes ago.

"Pumunta ako sa pinaka malapit na convenience store" She said.

"At hindi ka manlang nagpaalam sa akin?" Aiah fired back.

"Busy ka makipag usap kay tita and I can't stop myself for craving on a goddamn ice cream"

"So nasaan na yung ice cream mo?" Gwen asked nung makita niyang walang hawak na ice cream si Anne.

Anne squealed in annoyance and stomped her feet which made the seven girls eyed her with confusion. Colet leaned forward to Aiah who still has her arms crossed.

"Pinsan mo nga talaga siya" Colet whispered to Aiah which earned her a glare from Aiah.

"Ano bang nangyayari sayo?" Aiah asked her cousin.

"Well, like what I said, pumunta ako sa convenience store para bumili ng strawberry ice cream which is my favorite. May natitira nalang na isa and I thought to myself na ang swerte ko. But when I was about to get the ice cream, a fucking stranger grab it first in one swift! Paulit ulit kong sinasabi sa kanya na ako ang unang nakakita ng freaking Ice cream pero instead na makinig siya sa akin, tinignan niya lang ako at pumunta na sa counter. She even ate the ice cream in front of me! I swear kapag nakita ko pa yung Ice cream stealer na yon ulit, sasakalin ko siya gamit ang mga kamay ko!" Anne said in a ragging manner.
