Me and gretch were beside Bea while she was crying and the whole gang was just staring at her. No one dared to ask what happened. I drank a beer along with Bea and Gretch who's currently contemplating what to say.

Gretchen finally found her guts and asked "Ano ba kasing nangyari?" bea gave us a sad smile and answered "Kulang pa daw. Hahaha. Tangina ate Gretch, kulang pa daw" and drank more beer.

"Yun ba talaga yung sinabi nya? As in verbatim na 'Kulang pa, Bea' ganun?" Dzi asked. I saw A trying to calm her girlfriend down. "Hindi nya na kailangan i-verbatim yun! Ang importante pinaramdam nya kay bea na di sya enough" Gretch answered na medyo pabalang.

"Ngayon pa sya nag inarte ng ganyan kung kelan nagssettle na kayo?" I heard Ara spoke. "Guys, wag naman kayo ganyan parang di natin kaibigan si Jho." Mika interrupted them from bashing Jho.

"Mukhang di nga nya inisip na isang tropa tayo bago nya ginawa kay Bea 'to" Gretch exclaimed. "Pre, tama na" sabi ko sakanya. Gets ko naman kung bakit ganto kafrustrated si Greta. Kung meron saming makakarelate kay Bea sa sitwasyon nya ngayon, si greta yun pero baby girl ko pa din si Jho. Mas nababy ko yun kesa kay Bea.

Siguro kaya mas masakit samin 'to na makita si Bea na ganito. All through out, si Bea yung strong sa relationship and si Jho yung bin'baby. Seeing her this vulnerable is undeniably painful.

"Ang dami nyong sinasabi!" Mela exclaimed stopping everyone from commenting on the situation. Dzi looked at Bea and said "Bei, we love you with all our hearts and we love Jho too. Gusto namin makinig sayo pero you have to understand that sooner or later papakingan din namin si Jho." she explained calmly. I saw Mika nodded and said "We won't take sides, Bea. We just want you to know ano man ang nangyari andito lang kami. Lahat kami."

"So pre, ano na?" Kim asked. She looked at all of us and said something na we didn't expect. "Pwede nyo ba sya puntahan?" addressing Mela, Bang, Mika and Dzi. "Di rin kasi sya okay" Bea added. They we're about to protest when bea added "Please mga ate?"

I looked at Ara signalling her to answer Bea. "Bea, bukas na nila pupuntahan. Di ko rin papayagan si Ate Bang mo magdrive all the way to Batangas ng ganto na kagabi" we heard Bea sighed and told the story, inisip siguro nya this the best way to convince us na puntahan si Jho. "She was getting cold lately, di nya naman alam na nao'obvious ko eh. Natatakot din siguro ako i'confront sya about it. First time eh." she smirked as if remembering what clearly happened

"Tas one day, I got home from work and she was staring at the TV but she was not watching. Halatang nagiisip sya. She didn't even notice na nakauwi na 'ko. I told her na bumili ako ng chinese food pang dinner namin, tas di ko din magets kung pano lumaki yung issue. Nagulat na lang ako ng bigla nyang sinabi na "Gawa ka ng gawa di mo naman tinanong kung ito yung gusto ko." she paused, closed her eyes and continued speaking "Before I knew it, nakikipaghiwalay na sya"

"Alam ko namang di na sya okay lately, kaya gusto ko sana puntahan nyo na sya. Not to convince her na balikan ako. Gusto ko lang okay sya" Bea added while looking at all of us. "Gets ko naman, concern ka lang. Galing kasi ako ng work, bei. Sobrang pagod ko, I can't drive that long. Eh ako lang naman marunong magdrive saming girls."

Something bugged inside of me na gusto ko din makausap si Jho pero ayoko naman maramdaman ni Bea na I'm taking Jho's side. I saw Jerome raised his hand and said "Ipagd'drive ko na lang kayo" I saw mika widened her eyes and said "Love, may shooting ka pa bukas sa bulacan. You can't"

"Ako na" I said. Bea smiled at me and said "Make sure she's okay, ate ah? For me?" I nodded and replied "Maaayos din to. Trust me."

I looked at Bang, Mela, Mika and Dzi and said "Tara girls?" they bid their goodbyes sa mga jowa nila. I took my phone out and decided to call Dennise, she answered after a few rings.
