After a few months ay balik eskwela na kaya naging busy na ulit kaming lahat. Since I became Jance's girlfriend ay wala na kaming ibang ginawa kundi paikutin ang mundo namin sa isa't-isa. When Ella asked if me and Primo can eat dinner with her mamaya ay mabilis kaming pumayag.
"Thanks guys, I really need you now." Estella said.
"Bakit, may problema ba?" Primo asked and looked at me.
"Oscar has been very distant and moody recently, malapit na ang anniversary namin kaya super disappointed ako dahil aabot na ng 1 year ang relasyon namin and he acts so suspicious now."
Oscar has been very moody and annoyed recently, muntik na nga silang mag-away ni Jance when Oscar couldn't print the files we asked for.
"Maybe he's just tired. Hayaan mo muna, Ella I'm sure magiging special ang anniversary ninyong dalawa." I tried assuring her.
"I don't even know if he remembers." She explained and ordered beer for us. "I mean, I have it all! Ang ganda ko, ang talino ko, sexy ako but he is treating me like shit!"
Me and Primo tried controlling her alcohol pero she was too depressed. Hindi na namin mapigilan kaya hinayaan na lang namin.
"Once things gets out of hand I am calling your boyfriend." Primo warned Ella but she didn't listen.
"Lala baby! How are you and Jance lately?" Ella asked but quickly took her phone to see why it was vibrating so much. "Fuck off, Oscar!"
I took her phone and it was booming with Oscar's messages saying na she needs to come home now. I was texting Jance na Primo will take me home once we fix Ella's situation and he said that it was fine.
"Call her boyfriend please." I begged Primo while helping Ella stand straight.
Palabas na kami when she started gagging. I quickly rushed her out and let her puke on the plants at the parking lot. Me and Primo watched as Ella quickly wasted herself. Gets namin si Estella, all her life she was sexualized and treated as only someone with a perfect body. Nang makilala niya kami pakiramdam niya ay mas malaki ang kaya niyang gawin sa buhay so me and Primo had hoped that Oscar would do the same.
She was still drinking when Oscar arrived, he looked pissed and made Ella stand up carefully.
"Oh andito pala ang boyfriend ko!" Estella said sarcastically then pushed Oscar off. "Fuck off, bastard!"
Oscar watched Ella make a scene and call him names, kilala namin na pikon si Oscar kaya kinakabahan kami dahil baka magsapakan ang dalawa.
Oscar clicked his tongue on his left cheek while watching Ella's outbursts. Once she got tired ay umupo na siya sa sahig at nagsimulang umiyak like a little baby. Lumapit si Oscar at lumuhod sa harap ni Ella.
"I hate you! Ang sama-sama ng ugali mo sa akin! Parang hindi mo ako jowa kung tratuhin!" She said but Oscar just listened. "You're always mad at me and you always find a reason to not spend time with me. Ang sama mo!"
"Oscar I think-." Primo was cut off when his phone rang.
"Are you done, Miss Queen?" He asked but Ella didn't answer. "Umuwi na tayo, let's talk about it okay? I'm sorry, come on stand up na."
"Ayokong sumama sa'yo." She said. "I want to stay with Lala!"
Oscar looked at me but I shook my head.
"Lala is busy, come on wala akong ginagawa. Mag-usap tayo okay? I'm sorry, Estella. I'm going to fix my attitude basta stop drinking kapag hindi mo ako kasama. I'm worried."
Ella was tired to argue kaya tumayo na lang ito.
"May sundo ka ba, Lalaina?" Oscar asked. "Pwede kitang isabay."
"No need, pre." Tumingin kami ni Oscar sa likuran ko at nakita si Jance. "You take care of Estella, ako na ang bahala sa girlfriend ko."
Oscar smiled and helped Estella inside his car, lumapit ito sa akin na nakangiti.
"Please comfort Ella kapag nag rarant siya. I just have a surprise for her on our anniversary." He said kaya napanganga ako. "Bye lovebirds, ingat kayo!"
"Let's go now, baby." He said and talked to Primo. "Baby.."
"Yes, babe?" I asked while he drived.
"Mom and Dad wants to meet you tomorrow, as well as my brother."
"YOUR FAMILY WANTS TO MEET ME TOMORROW!?" I yelled.
