He observed their faces and saw how shocked they were.

Lea had to gulp several times to check if he's really serious or not.

He then laughed so hard.

"Grabe, guys! You should've seen your faces!!! Hahahaha! Gulat na gulat kayo. Ang cute niyo." he exclaimed. He held his tummy and laughed again.

Lea glared at him, "Leche ka."

He laughed again, "Kayo naman. Eh 'di pinatay ako ng magulang nito ni Lea kung may nangyari nga sa amin?"

Dawn nodded, "Talaga naman."

"Teka nga. Bakit mo naman natanong sa akin 'yan, Lea?" he asked.

Lea rolled her eyes at him.

"Paano, when I got home last night, basag 'yong vase. Tapos 'yong mga damit ni Lea, nakakalat. 'Yong jacket mo nasa couch. Malay ko ba kung--"

He chuckled, "Wala namang nangyari. Muntik lang."

Lea slapped his arms, "Alam mo, gusto na kitang saksakin!"

He chuckled again, "Joke lang. Bakit ba ang init ng ulo mo?"

"Disappointed 'yan." Vice exclaimed.

Lea threw a plastic bottle at him, good thing he was able to avoid it.

"Grabe ka, Lea. Kung galit ka kay Aga, kay Aga lang. Huwag sa akin, ha. Kurutin kita diyan." Vice told her and sat beside Richard. "Paps, oh."

Richard laughed and shook his head.

"Bakit naman magagalit sa akin si Lea?" Aga asked them.

"Kasi nga disappointed." they answered.

She then glared at them and stood up to go inside the house.

"Sundan mo na 'yon. Baka mag-transform." Dawn told him.

He nodded and followed her. "Lea, sandali lang."

She glanced at him but continued walking towards the kitchen.

"Uy, Lea."

She didn't answer. She opened the refrigirator and took chips and a soda in can.

"Lea, sorry." he sincerely apologized.

"For what?-- What do you want? Chips? Bread? Juice?"

"I-ikaw." he told her. Her eyes widened.

"Huh?"

"I want you to be happy even without James." he answered. "Gusto kong maging okay ka na ulit."

She bitterly laughed, "Okay lang ako."

"Sorry kung pinagtripan kita."

"Okay lang din 'yon. Sanay na ako. Sanay na akong pinagtitripan. Lalo na ng mga lalaki." she closed the refrigirator and walked towards the living room.

Aga followed.

She opened the television and sat on the couch.

Aga sat beside her. "Nasasaktan ka pa rin ba?"

She looked at him, "Seriously?"

He nodded.

"Of course! Kailan lang ba kami nag-break ni James? Kahit naman on and off kami, as what you told me, minahal ko naman siya. Mahal ko siya." she admitted. "Oo, masakit pa rin."

"What can I do to ease the pain?"

She opened the chips, "Wala. Kumain lang tayo nang kumain."

He shook his head and snaked his arms on her shoulder, "You know how much I hate seeing my bestfriend cry."
