Pumasok ako the next day. Jance explained na sinabihan daw siya about my situation.

"Maraming nag message sa akin pero si Ella ang pinaka unang nag message sa akin." He explained.

"She messaged you?"

"Yeah, tinawagan niya rin ako dahil nag-aalala daw siya. Umuwi ka raw ng walang paalam sa kahit sino sa circle natin."

I will talk to Ella now. Nakita ko siya sa may canteen na may inaasikaso kaya nilapitan ko siya.

"Is this taken?" I asked kaya napatingin siya sa akin.

"No.."

Naupo ako sa harap niya at kinuha ang box ng cookies na binili ko online. I bought them for Ella and Primo last week dahil 7 years na ang friendship namin exactly today.

"I'm sorry for not telling you earlier, Ella."

Sinara niya ang laptop para tignan ako. She took the box then pulled out a customized hair comb that had my name on it.

"Sana alam mo sa puso mo na nagalit lang ako dahil ayaw kong mauulit ang nangyari dati. I love you too much to watch you cry again." She said and took my hand. "I'm sorry din, tanggap ko na si Jance for you but you have to promise me na once he hurts you emotionally or physically you'll run back to me okay?"

"I promise." I smiled. "Of course babalik ako sa'yo, you're my sister."

"Ano ba Lala yung mascara ko naman." She said while trying to wipe off her tears. "Let's go?"

"Okay."

Huling linggo na ito and finally next week ay walang pasok! Wala naman na kaming masyadong pinapagawa sa mga bata, besides the fact na they needed to be present.

Ngayon na ayos na kami ni Ella ay sinabi ni Primo na kumain daw muna kami sa labas mamaya for dinner since 7 years na nga kaming magkakasama. He said na we can invite Jance and Oscar pero ayaw naming isama ni Ella ang dalawa. Kasama si Eloi dahil wedding anniversary na rin nila.

"Kasama yung asawa ni Primo bakit hindi kami pwedeng sumama ni Jance?" Oscar asked Ella while she was getting ready.

Nakatambay kami sa bahay niya with Jance and Oscar since we told them na may dinner kami with Primo later.

"Duh! Kung gusto mong sumama pakasalan mo na ako." Ella said at tinignan si Oscar.

"Sige, kami na lang ni Jance ang mag dedate." He said at tumabi kay Jance sa sofa.

I was just waiting for Ella to finish. Ako ang nag drive papunta sa restaurant and saw na Primo was talking to Eloi, they said na they had a surprise for us.

"Ella, Lala..." Primo started. "Magiging Ninang na kayo."

Tinignan naming dalawa si Eloi and she gave us both a box. Binuksan namin and it had a lot of things like make up, hair ties, monthly care packs and such. She was so sweet.

"Congrats!" I said.

"Aww may baby na ang circle natin." Ella said and congratulated the two.

After dinner ay nakitulog ako sa bahay ni Ella, Jance and Oscar were still here pero aalis din sila mamaya pag natulog na kami.

"How was dinner?" Jance asked when I layed down beside him.

"It was good, I missed the three of us." I answered while he played with my hair.

I told him also that Primo was going to have a baby.

"I wonder if I will have a baby." I whispered.

"Of course, but we'll wait." Jance answered kaya napangiti ako.

"How sure are you na tayo na nga?" I asked.

"Just a 100 percent, darling."

"Oh tama na ang harot na wala pa namang label." Ella said and gave us some snacks while we stargazed.
