"Psh. Hellque na naman po." Arci

Andeng decided to ignore them and move to another topic.

"Nagbyahe rin kayo?" Andeng

"Hindi. Naki-hitch kami kay ate." Arci said after she sipped her iced tea.

Agad naman nakita ni Andeng ang ate Yzel ni Arci na mag-isang nakaupo dun sa may sulok na table, at may hawak lang na cellphone.

The bells on the door chimed. Napalingon sila sa may pintuan.

Chino appeared, and he opened the door for someone.

"Si Teddy?" Gulat na sabi ni Arci

Mukang lahat sila nagulat pwera kay Andeng.

Paglapit ni Chino sa kanila.

"Uy guys. Pwede makiupo?" Chino

Nun lang nila napansin na sakto lang pala para sa barkada ang nailagay na upuan. Di naman kase nabanggit ni Chino na magsasama pala sya.

Andeng just nodded and smiled at Teddy. She even offered her seat.

"Andeng you don't have too." Teddy politely refused.

"I insist." Sabi nya sabay tayo.

Nakatayo sila pareho ni Chino. Nagkatinginan sila, pero sya ang unang nagbawi ng tingin.

"Puntahan ko lang si Pibi for an 'extra chair'." She said, emphasizing the last words.

7 pm.

Nakaupo na sila lahat sa table. Bale round table yun lamesa at Pibi-Nathan-Zoey-Arci-Sean-Zoey- Chino- Teddy ang upo nila. Tapos na magdistribute ng mga pagkain. Kokonti lang naman talaga ang bisita nila, pwera sa barkada at kay Teddy. Ilang mga kakilala, schoolmates and blockmates lang naman ang ininvite nila Paul at Liv para sa farewell party nila that night.

The opening remarks came from Pibi's mom. She thanked Paul and Liv for their hardwork, loyalty, and dedication during their time in the shop. And the two actually helped the café to be more successful.

They clapped their hands after her mom's tear jerking speech.

The bells chimed again and signalling the opening of the door. Lumapit naman kagad si Liv na mukang ineexpect na yung darating.

"Sorry Liv! We're late! Si Wax kase eh." The newly arrived visitor said.

"Sanay na ko Alli. Sige na. Beastmode na sa inyo si Belle." Liv escorted them.

Pagdaan sa table nila, napansin si Alli si Pibi.

"Uy Pibi!" She greeted her.

"Hi Ate Alli!" Pibi

"Nice to see you again! How are you?" Alli

"I'm good-" Pibi

"I hate to interrupt you guys but Belle would unleash her inner Kraken anytime soon kapag di nya nakita ang mga to." Liv said, pointing to Alli and Wax.

Alli rolled her eyes but she smiled after.

"Sige Pibi ah, let's chat later." She winked at Pibi.
