Apologies that there was no 2nd update yesterday. I was in transit and it was nine in the evening when I was able to get a decent internet connection. At eto, when I checked the chapter it was missing. It said, begin to write your story. Nagpanic ako ng slight. I though it was the connection so I waited until I was able to connect to a wifi, pero wee hours in the morning na, about 1.30am? I was really tired. 😔

Thank you for your reading and comments. It's taking me awhile to reply back but please, please leave comments. Thank you and I hope you all have a wonderful day ahead!💙💙💙

"Samm!!!! Bakit ka napatawag?"

"May chismis ako."

"Sam naman! Tumawag ka para magchismis?"

"Teka, teka, parang may natutulog dyan sa tabi mo? Isusumbong kita kay Auntie Rose at kay Dei."

Richard shows the person beside him

"Ahhh.. Hi Dei! Bakit ganyan ang itsura mo?"

"Sam, not feeling well" Dei replies

"Inaalagaan ka ba niyang si Richard? Isumbong mo sa akin para masumbong natin kay Auntie Rose" Sam says as he laughs

"Hoy Samuel, ako na naman nakita mo?" Richard says

"Oo naman, spoiled kaya ako." Dei replies

"Buti naman."

"Sam, ano ba yang chismis mo. Sabihin mo na para maaliw naman ako." Dei said

"Eto na nga, eto na. Ang bali-balita, (Sam thinks), wait, involved ka nga pala dito Dei, I mean pamilya mo though. According sa friend ng friend ng neighbor ng kapitbahay niya na goldfish, pinaalis daw yung stores nila sa lahat ng buildings pag-aari niyo. Mga 12 din yun, nang pamilya nina Valerie. Yung parang traffic light manamit."

"Huh?" Dei asks in surprise

"At eto pa ang chismis nitong chismosong goldfish sa echoserang froglet, hindi alam ng tatay ni Valerie ang nangyari at hinahunting niya na kung anong nangyari, apparently nasa overseas yung pamilya yung nangyari ito. Rumors has it na paghindi sila nakahanap ng malilipatan na magandang pwesto sa business nila, they might lose most of their assets. Nagtataka ang mga tao kasi okay naman na negosyante yung tatay ni Valerie, sensible at mabait. Ako nga I've had dealings with him, okay naman yung mga transactions namin. So the who?"

"Sam, ano daw ang nangyari?"

"Wala pa. Inaabangan nga namin ang mga pangyayari. O siya, siya. Yan lang ang gusto kong ibalita sainyo ni Faulkerson. May boys day out ngayon! Bye. Bye!" Sam said

Dei looks at Richard and shakes her head. She curls up into a ball and covers herself with a duvet. Richard goes under the duvet and pokes Dei. 

"Dei, wala akong kinalaman doon. I was with you the whole day."

"Dei, Dei naman."

"Here look at my phone logs. I haven't deleted anything. Check everything"

Dei looks at the phone logs. She removes the duvet from her face and asks "So if it's not you, then who?"

"Dei, to be honest, I really have no idea."

"Didi!"

"Dei!!" Coleen asked

"Kumusta kayo?"

"Okay naman. Yung dalawang kids, ang kukulit! Ikaw? Kumusta ka na?"
