"But are you sure that you're naming your baby Ella Louise Joy?"
Binaba ko ang baso ko at tumingin kay Charlie "I mean it's not a bad name, but it's not unique either" ani nito habang nakatingin kay Elmo. I know she's just teasing Elmo
"Yes tita. We came up with that name" masayang sambit ni Zeke
Sumangayon naman ang apat, si Jack, si Karl, at si Elmo
"Oh edi ako na talo" natawa naman kami kay Charlie dahil bigla itong kumapit sa braso ni Karl at nagtago
"Nasan na ba si Elizabeth at si Maison ng maumpisahan na?" I looked at my watch at nakitang thirty minutes ng late ang dalawa
It's already been three months since Elizabeth and I had that talk at mas naging close na siya pati sa mga kaibigan namin
At first they were hesitant, but after seeing how genuine and sincere Elizabeth was with her motives in becoming friends with me again, naging kampante din sila
"I don't know. Liz told me that she has a shoot today with a magazine with Maison. Hindi ko nga lang alam kung anong oras dapat ang tapos" pag e-explain ko sakanila
We heard the door bell at for sure ay papunta na si Yaya Jhing para buksan ang pintuan
It's almost my due at gusto ng doctor na mag stay na ako sa hospital so we set a party today dahil pupunta na ako sa hospital tonight
"Hi guys!" I looked behind me at nakita si Elizabeth na may hawak na malaking box na nakabalot. SI Maison naman ay buhat si AA
I looked at Elmo motioning him to help Elizabeth kaya he just gave out a sigh and let go of my hand
Tumayo din ako kasama si Elmo kaya todo alalay nanaman si over exag husband
AA kissed my cheek too at dumiretso na sa dalawa. Lahat kami ay bineso ang mga bagong dating
"Bakit ang tagal niyo pare?" sambit ni AJ habang binibigyan ng beer si Maison. I strongly prohibited Elmo not to drink dahil siya ang nag volunteer na magdala sa akin sa hospital and I don't want a drunk driver
"Ang tagal ng shoot eh. Inantay pa namin yung ibang stylist. Buti nalang at naaliw kami dahil kay AA" pag e-explain ni Maison habang kinukunan ng pagkain si Liz
Napangiti ako sakanilang dalawa. They look genuinely happy now. No pretensions. Seems like they really sorted everything out which sounds and looks good
I felt Elmo nudge my elbow "Hey, baby. Are you okay?" tumingin ako sakaniya at ngumiti assuring him that I'm fine although parang sumisipa nanaman si baby. Looks like she's excited to come out too
I looked at Zeke na winawagayway ang kamay at saktong pagtingin ko, tinuro niya ang loob ng bahay kaya tumango ako
Jack at the back seems like he's not enjoying the fact that AA has to come with them, pero sumama parin siya
"Babes, you seem constipated" ani Charlie with her worried face
I chuckled "I'm fine. Parang nararamdaman ko lang ang pag sipa ni baby. Excited na ata lumabas"
"Are you sure?" narinig kong bulong ni Elmo sa gilid ko
"Yeah. You guys can go to the side now. Kaming tatlo nalang nila Charlie dito para naman mag enjoy kayong mga lalaki"
Narinig ko ang mga kantyaw ng mga lalaki sa sinabi ko. Alam kong kanina pa nila gusto pumunta sa pool side. Nag s-stay lang sila dahil ayaw ni Elmo umalis
Elmo insisted pero I also insisted. Guess who won? Me.
Umupo si Charlie at si Elizabeth sa gilid ko. Elizabeth is munching her food, pero alam kong attentive pa din siya sa pag uusapan namin
