Chandria's POV
"Chands, sige na. I want to talk to her." nagmamakaawang sabi ni Ice sa akin.
I sighed. "Ice, it's her birthday today. It's her very special day. It's HER day. I don't want you to ruin it."
"But Chands, 'yun na nga eh. It's her day today and I know mabigat ang loob niya sa akin. Gusto kong pagaanin loob niya by talking to her. Explaining to her." his voice weakens as he speaks.
"Ice, sana maintindihan mo ako. My best friend had been in too many pain already dahil sainyo ng kakambal mo. She'd had enough crying from the both of you. Maawa ka naman, Ice. For once, can you let her enjoy herself with her family and friends?"
Napayuko siya in shame. "I understand, Chandria. I'm sorry."
Na guilty tuloy ako sa sinabi ko sa kanya pero I have to stand my ground. For my best friend. "I'm sorry too, Ice. I do hope you really understand why I'm doing this. Gusto ko ding magkaayos kayo pero I'm sure kapag nagkita kayo bukas, masasaktan na naman siya. Iiyak na naman siya and I don't want that to happen."
Paalis na sana ako nang tawagin na naman ako ni Ice. "Yes, Ice?" sabi ko nang lumingon ako sa kanya.
"Can I at least see her?" he asked with pleading eyes. "Hindi ako magpapakita. I'll stay in the car."
"Okay, Ice." sagot ko sa kanya.
"Thank you, Chands. Sabay na kayo ni Kevin sa akin." he said at nauna nang naglakad patungo sa kotse.
Nasa isang beach resort kami ngayon. Inaantay namin ang pagdating ni Amelia. We're going to surprise her. Ang alam niya kasi, family lang kasama niya sa birthday niya, but she's wrong. Her mom asked me to invite Amelia's friends to surprise her on her 18th birthday so here we are. May mga banners, balloons, flowers and foods na kaming naka handa dito.
And as Ice asked, nag-aantay na siya sa kotse niya sa labas ng resort.
I may be too harsh on him, I know. But ayokong makita na namang umiiyak si Am. She's been in so much pain and it sucks to see her in that state.
May narinig na kaming sasakyan na tumigil sa resort. Sigurado akong si Amelia 'yun. As soon as she landed her eyes on us, we greeted her with a loud "HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMELIA!" sabay nilapitan namin siya at niyakap.
I could see the shock and gladness in her eyes. "Aww! Thank you guys!" she said matapos kaming yakapin.
Gusto ko ganito lang si Amelia lagi. Masaya at malaya sa alinlangan at kalungkutan.
But sht will follow after happiness and that is to talk to Ciara and Ice. She should be ready to face them without fear after her birthday and I'll be going to brief her before it happens.

Amelia's POV
I had the best day ever! My 18th birthday was a blast. Chandria and our other friends surprised me. Nagpalaro sila Mama ng mga games and at night, nag bonfire kami and they gave me their messages along with their gifts and nagpa fireworks si Papa.
