"Whatever you're planning inside your silly little head, 'wag mo nang ituloy."
We've been married for past a decade already. They're some times that I can't get a read on whatever my wife thinks but most of the freaking time she's so transparent.
"I'm not even doing anything... yet."
"Ly, kakausapin mo lang si Mikko. And then you will walk away." One thing that she does that supports my claim on her being so transparent? When she scrunches up her nose.
"You know what, you're that's actually a good idea. I'm just gonna talk a bit with Mikko--" Well, that or she just came up with a horrible idea that I know will backfire even without it existing... yet.
"That's great, babe" I exclaimed "drop me off na lang near the entrance."
"--sa office. Here ya go. See you later." Alyssa said while unlocking the door for me. The glint in her eyes is unmistakable. I can only close my eyes in frustration as she quickly drove away. Oh god. I'd always hated that look. That look of both mischief and insight that can mean a thousand things. Sighing, I walked to the hospitals main entrance.

"Good morning, Besh" I greeted her, "and will you please stop trying to scare me this early in the morning?"
"Way to go destroying my prank. Anyway, good morning, Den." she replied chuckling "Did you get it? Hahahaha Den, Din. Hahahahaha!"
"Sobrang bago ng joke mo." I said as I picked up my bag and walked to the doctor's lounge.
"Ugh, you're such a spoil sport." she grabbed my hand and made me face her. I know that worry was written all over my face. I did not dare hide it. This is Ella. She's going to find oit about stuff in one way or another. Like that thing about Ly and Myla, the moment she knew about it she went all: "Omg besh Myla took Ly out..." and blah blah blah. "Something happenend." So I told her.

"And now I think Alyssa will sue the guys for harassment."
"Isn't that a bit too much?"
"What do you mean? That we should just shrug it off? I'm worried about Ly since I know what she'll capable of, the lawsuit is the least of my worries anyway. But we won't just think of it as if it's boys being fucking boys. Most people will give them a pass because "that's just how boys are" but we won't. It's time to make them accountable with their actions. Quit paying them excuses and passes. If they need to be expelled and be took under probation, so be it." I huffed as I vented out my frustration with this.
"Den, I know, okay? I texted Jovee to come with Ly later. If magfafile sila ng lawsuit 'di okay. Besides, I heard from Jules na Fel isn't the only one having problems with them. I know you're worried about Felicia but you have those three nuisances with her. She'll be fine."
"I hope so. Can you also call B and Ki? Tell them may dinner sa bahay mamaya."
"Dinner or planning for murder?"
"Maybe both. Tara na nga. Alam kong you haven't started your rounds. My god, besh. Mahiya ka nga."
"But really, Den. Your wife is a lawyer. Well,  aside from being Alyssa Valdez volleyball hotshot that's married to Dennise Lazaro. The last thing she'll do is to let her hands swim in blood. Ly's rational." I managed to give out a tiny smile. "Ells, we all know that her temper might have changed a bit but when you really push her buttons she will lash out."
"Fine, I'll call Jovee and tell him to pull Alyssa back when she's going all berserk on the stupid kids." she said as she pulled out her phone and started dialing away. "And you try to talk to Kim, isama niya kamo si Ara. I think Kim might knock a bit sense into her."
"Really? Kim? Are we talking abiut the same Kim here orrrrr you're talking about Kim Gequillana and I'm thinking Kim Fajardo because if it's the latter, ARE YOU FUCKING MAD?"
"You're overreacting. Kimmy is not that bad."
"Remember that one time when Kimmy and Ly went with Ara to Hong Kong to look for Bang's ring? Tapos paglapang nung plane nila, a reporter kept on hogging them, asking about small dick Ravena so Ly just purposely bumped into him. Then si Kim naman pinaginitan. Asking shit about Panaga and Mela's past? Do you remember what Kimmy did, Ells?"
"Uhhhh, Kimmy went all volcano and threw the dude's camera?"
"Exactly. Now, will you still make me call her after remembering that?"
"Sure. Kimmy's awesome."
"You have lost your mind. Wait, tell me honestly. Are you part of this ba? Although, hindi pa naman kayo naguusap ni Ly. So how?"
"I'm not gonna answer that."
"Ells, my wife is going to destroy those boys. You know what she's capable of. And there's also that thing about her having tons of connections. So I'm asking you again Jorella Marie, do you know anything about this."
"Sheesh. Calm down, super momma. Your kids called me. Deanna, to be exact."

"Ugh, you baby them too much."

"Coming from you? Excuse you."

"Is Fel okay though? Aren't a bit worried that she might regress?" That's what I'm worried about too. It's been a while since her last attack but her attacks aren't as minimal as it was when she was in grade school. Wait, that's wrong. Nothing about her attacks are minimal, it gradually worsened through the years though. Her dosage lessened for her to not be fully dependent on her meds but I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Sighing I answered, "Bea and Dean are keeping an eye on her. It's a good thing Jia and Maddie is there with them too. Those two can also be hot heads."

"Alyssa's children all right," Ella said while giggling. "Is she still going to therapy?"


"Not anymore. But with this incident we might reconsider after we talk to her later. Let's hope that it doesn't come to that though. My baby suffered enough."
