"Besh?" Ella said when she answered the call, "bakit?"
"N—nasan ka?"
"Wait, umiiyak ka ba?! Kasama ko sila Bea, we're eating right now."
"W-where?"
"EDSA Shang, heyyy, what's happening?"
"Please wait for me."
Ella looked at her phone with worry in her eyes, nakatingin naman sa kanya si Bea.
"What happened?" Bea asked Ella.
"Hindi ko alam, she's crying habang kausap ako," alalang sabi ni Ella, "I think nag-away sila."
"Definitely," sagot naman ni Bea while looking at her phone, "nagtext si Ly, if Den will go to us daw, keep her safe," sabi ni Bea and nagkatinginan lang sila ni Ella, they are worried, hindi naman umabot sa gantong point yung pag-aaway ni Den and Ly before. Walang walk out na nangyayari, the two always choose to stay with each other kahit may misunderstandings o magkaaway man, well, today is the exception.
They waited for Den and after almost an hour when Den called, Den walked in to them with puffed eyes.
"Besh," sabi agad ni Ella when she saw Den, Den launched herself kay Ella and started crying. Buti na lang nasa isolated part sila ng restau kaya hindi agaw pansin. Mga 20 minutes din na iyak lang ng iyak si Den habang silang dalawa tahimik lang.
"Shit, I look like a mess right now," biglang sabi ni Den and she wiped her own tears, para nang kinagat ng ipis yung mata niya sa sobrang maga, plus the red nose dahil sa sipon, "sorry," she said in between her sobs.
"Besh, water," sabi lang ni Ella at inabot yung water kay Den, Den smiled at Ella tsaka uminom ng water. After inumin ni Den yung water, walang naglakas loob na magtanong ng bakit.
"Tahimik niyo?" biro ni Den, she smiled but it didn't reach her eyes.
"Gaga, you're crying your heart out, we're being sensitive here, bitch," sabi ni Bea and natawa na si Den. But thanks to Bea, nawala yung awkwardness.
"Thanks, B, I needed that," Den replied, "anyway, uhm, where can I sleep over? Hehe."
"Let's sleep over Bea's na lang," suggest ni Ella.
"Sure, I have plenty of space," Bea replied.
They arrived at Bea's flat almost 1 am na rin.
"Anything you want?" Bea asked them.
"Beer?" Den asked.
"Hoy Besh, no drinking," sabi naman ni Ella.
"KJ mo naman, besh," biro ni Den.
"May Mogu Mogu ako dyan," sabi ni Bea.
"Yun, yun na lang," sabi naman ni Ella.
"Corny ng Mogu mogu!!" Den complained pero wala na rin siyang nagawa when Bea get it at bingyan sila ng tig-isang bottle.
"So?" Bea asked Den, Den shook her head.
"I need time far away from her," sagot niya.
"What?" Ella asked, "hindi niyo pa rin ba mapag-usapan problema niya? It's been what, 2 weeks?"
"Besh," sabi lang ni Den tsaka malungkot na ngumiti kay Ella, "everything's a mess right now."
"So, ano ngang nangyari?" Bea asked again Den.
"Well, it started nung nanuod tayo ng game, I mean, kami, kasi may BVR ka non, B," sabi ni Den, "I saw Ly kissed Kiefer sa cheek when she arrived."
