Natapos agad ang shift ni Ara, umaga kaya wala masyadong pasyente sa ER.
Dahil natapos ang shift niya ng 7pm, dinala niya na lamang ang kanyang dadamitin dahil matatagalan pa siya pag umuwi siya ng bahay.
Pumasok na ito sa kanyang clinic at dun nagpalit.
She wore a body hugging dress, and decided to remove her ponytail and let her hair flow down.
Hindi na siya nagpagupit ng matagal tagal kaya naman medyo mahaba na ang kanyang buhok.
Habang dala-dala ang kanyang bag at white coat sa isang kamay naglakad na siya pautungo sa exit ng hospital.
Pagpasok niya sa kotse saktong tumawag ang kaibigang kikitain niya.
"Hey, Ara, kakarating ko lang," sabi ng kanyang kaibigan pagsagot niya ng telepono.
"I'm on my way, I won't take long," anito.
"Okay, I'll be waiting," her friend said before hanging up.
At katulad ng sinabi niya, she didn't took that long.
And there, she saw her friend, matagal tagal niya itong di nakita.
"Ye!" bati ni Ara sa kaibigan.
"Hey, Ara long time no see," anito sabay yakap.
"Lets sit and order?" tanong nito at tumango naman siya.
They caught up with each other.
Her friend, as she likes to call her 'Ye' is an engineer, nagkakilala sila noong nasa Vancouver silang dalawa, at dahil wala siyang masyadong kilala doon at napagkataon na pinay din si Ye, agad silang naging magkaibigan.
"Why are you here?" tanong ni Ara.
"I'm going to meet some clients, pati na rin ang boyfriend ko," excited na sinabi nito kay Ara.
"Your boyfriend? Since college? Yun?" hula ni Ara.
Ngumiti ang kaibigan at tinanguan siya.
"He might propose to me," Ye said.
"Oh my gosh! I'm so excited for you! Balitaan mo ako, please?" ani Ara.
"Of course, and I'm claiming it! Invited ka sa kasal namin," ani Ye sabay tawa.
They talked a bit long before her twin called.
"Yra,"
"Ara I'm sorry if I'm bothering you, pero pwede na ba namin ihatid si Win sayo? Our flight is first thing in the morning tomorrow," anito.
"Yes of course, papunta na ako sa condo," anito.
They were done eating na rin naman.
"Ye, I'll be taking care of my niece eh, is it okay if umuwi na ako?" tanong ni Ara.
"Yes of course,"
"Thanks, I'll pay nalang—"
"No, ako nagimbita sayo, so it's my treat," anito.
She knows her friend, ayaw nitong magpatalo kaya pinabayaan na lamang niya.
"Okay, but next time, it's on me, okay?" sabi ni Ara bago tumayo.
"Deal," ngiti sakanya ng kaibigan.
"I'll go ahead na,"
"Yes, ingat," her friend bids.

Chase stayed all afternoon with Tito Ted that he forgot to go back to the office.
Kaya paguwi niya sa kanyang condo agad niyang tinawagan ang sekretarya.
"Good evening sir,"
"Good evening, any news for me?" tanong agad ni Chase sa kabilang linya.
"You have a meeting tomorrow—"
"Cancel them all," agad na sinabi ni Chase, ni hindi ito pinatapos ang sekretarya.
"Pardon, sir?"
"I have an important meeting tomorrow at 1pm, so cancel all my appointments tomorrow," ani Chase.
"O-okay sir..." anang sekretarya, halata sakanyang tono ang pagkagulat.
"Thank you," Chase said before ending the call with his secretary.
Hindi nasabi ni Tito Ted kung sino ang imemeet niya pero may nakareserba na raw na upuan para sakanila.
It was table 3.
Tito Ted did a lot for him, taking this task is nothing against that. The project is important to him that's why Chase promised that he will do his best to fulfill it.
Tito Ted said it was a renovation but it's a big one.
