"But as far as I know, nasa japan ang family niya." Sabi ko.

Naalala ko sinabi ni Jaye nung nasa Japan kami na pumunta sila don to have dinner with her parents.

"Thats fine, Josh went in Japan last year and, you still have your sim card babe?" Napatingin siya kay Josh at tumango naman ito. "He bought it in Japan kaya pang Japan yung number na marereceive ni Melissa." Jul explained.

Gosh. Parang ang sama sama namin pero kada makokonsensya ako, pinapaalala ni Julia na inagaw sakin nung babaeng yon ang pinakamamahal ko dati kaya game faced ulit ako.

"Liza, you talk to Melissa, okay? Make sure she's not with Jaye." Utos ni Jul.

Napa-groan naman siya dahil hindi niya din matagalan yung babaeng yon pero pumayag din siya.

"Barbs, you talk to Jaye naman. Distract him then while you're at it, I'll sneak to his phone to get the number of that witch."

Kinunutan ko siya ng noo. "Why am I the one incharge with Jaye?! Let him do it!" Turo ko kay Josh.

"They just met. Ang weird naman kung lalapitan siya ni Josh at magtanong ng kung ano ano."

"No! Ikaw nalang." I insists.

She sighed. "Please?"

I sighed too. "Are you seriously going to do this? I mean, its out of line."

"I don't want her here! This is the only way." She insists too.

"You could just tell your cousin the truth. That you don't want Melissa in your party." I tried to bargain.

Gosh.

This'll be going to be a big mess.

"No. If she leaves, he'll leave too. I know him. He's that stupid." She rolled her eyes.

"Julia, this is serious." I looked at Liza, "Tell her."

And Liza just shrugged.

"Please, please, I want this night to be fun."

Napabuntong hininga naman ako sa pagpapaawa niya. "Fine. I'll do it." Mahirap kasi tanggihan ang isang to kasi never din siya tumanggi sakin kahit kelan.

Nagsparkle naman yung mata niya sa sinabi ko. "Lets go while the night is still young!"

And so the plan began.

Nakita kong casually na lumapit si Liza kay Melissa, hindi naman kahina hinala kasi hindi naman sila magkaaway, kapag napaparinig kasi si Julia dati, personal man or twitter, kami lang yung lagi niyang nakikita at inaaway. Kaya for sure ako safe siya.

"Ayan ayan, kukuha na sila ng drinks! Go talk to him na!" Bulong sakin ni Julia habang pinagtutulakan ako kay Jaye.

Gosh.

Anong sasabihin ko?!

"H–Hi," bati ko. Napatingin naman siya sakin na parang may halong gulat at pagtataka. Hindi niya siguro inexpect na kakausapin ko siya.
