Dylan's POVMalapit na kami sa Koibumi and this lady beside me has no idea what's going to happen.
I wonder though. Has she become that busy to forget what date is it today? I can only shake my head.
As soon as we get out of the car, Barbie ran like a kid and cling to Ja.
"Bestie!!!" She's almost choking her. I can only shake my head.
"Jusko po B papatayin mo ba ako sa sakal?" Ja protested.
This is a normal scene to me. They've been like twin sisters since I met them.
"Na-miss kita! Bakit ang blooming mo? Sadyang nakamove on ka na talaga noh!" Barbie complimented her. Tama naman. Ja has this glow na di ko kayang i-explain. Maybe it's her eyes? There's happiness in there.
"Oh please B. Let's not talk about it."
Saway ni Ja kay Barbie.Parang wala lang ako noh? Haha. Invisible me.
"Alright hehehe! Tara na sa loob."
Hinila na nya si Guevarra."Teka lang." Pigil nya kay Barbie. "Kasama natin si Dylan B."
Saka nila ako nilingon.
"Alam ko namang kasama natin sya Bestie. Susunod naman yan saten. Diba Dylan?"
"Of course. After you." I smiled at them.
"Ikaw Bestie ha... parang di mo naman ako na-miss eh!" She pinched Ja on her arm. "Hayaan mo yan si Dylan. May isip naman yan. Wag mong sabihing... hmmm... Hehehe... na-miss mo sya? Ayeeee..."
"Ay ewan ko sayo." Guevarra stomped her feet and nauna ng pumasok sa loob ng resto at iniwan kami ni Barbie.
"Hahaha pikonin!" Barbie yelled.
These two. Tss.
"Dylan, baka pumalpak ang plano ha? Kukutosan kita." Pagbabanta ni Barbie saken.
"I've been doing my best okay? I got this. I'm nervous but damn.. I got this. Don't worry."
"Siguraduhin mo lang dahil sawang sawa na ako sa hopia. Sana naman maging productive ang araw na to."
"Oo nga. Ang weird lang kasi di nya alam na birthday nya ngayon."
"Hahaha... baliw kasi yun minsan."

/Althea's POV
"The celebrator has finally arrived." Ben stood up upon seeing me and welcomed me with a hug.
Nakatayo narin sina Cha, Dane and Ane Sam and they kissed me on my cheek.
"Celebrator?" I asked them.
"Baby, can you fish out your phone and check your calendar? It's your birthday for heaven's sake!" Ane Sam said with disbelief.
"Birthday ko? Oh shit." Natampal ko ang noo ko.
Sabay naman silang nagtawanan.
"So... that's why we're here? Oh God..." Napa-facepalm nalang ako. "What can I say? Thank you guys." I hugged my sister.
"Baby, we haven't even started yet." She hugged me back.
"Yap!" Nagulat naman ako kay B. Nakapasok na rin sila dito sa loob. "Pero ngayon, mag-uumpisa na tayo. Diba Dylan?"
