On mel and gerald’s side…

Gerald: so… what are we going to talk about…

Mel: why ask me…

Gerald: kasi panu ako makikipag ayos sa isang taong walang balak na magsalita…

Mel: awan ko ba sa iyo… you always sass…

Gerald: sass bagang… I do not sass…

Mel: yes you do… kaya nga tayo laging nag aaway dati diba… kasi para kang si mr perfect e hindi naman… tapos bakit laging lahat ng sinasabi mo ang tama… you are soo bossy… especially noong time na sobra akong nagalit sa iyo… there was this play… ako ung inassign na leader… but you… you would always contradict my suggestions… parang ang naging leader na ay ikaw…

Gerald: di kaya… I was just stating my opinion… there is nothing wrong about that… siguro kaya lagi kitang inaway dahil doon… you easily misunderstand at kasi nga you are so pikon… alam mo un… has nobody ever told you na the more pikon ka… lalo kang pipikonin… kasi konting loko lang sa iyo galit ka na kagad… have you never heard of the word joke… tapos have you ever heard of listening to your members opinion…

Mel: nangiinsulto ka ba… kasi parang sinasabi mo na oblivious ako sa mga bagay ditto sa mundo…
Gerald: see… pikon ka na at namisunderstod mo na kagad… tapos hindi ko maiintindihan… bakit tuwing makikita mo ako lagi mo na lang akong inaaway… parang laging maiinit ulo mo pagdating sa akin… kakausapin ka ng maayos… bigla ka na lang sisigaw… what’s up with that…

Mel: ewan ko… siguro I was just used to the fact na wala ka ng ibang ginawa kung di ang galitin ako… so ang reaction ko everytime mag kikita tayo magagalit sa iyo…
Gerald: un lang pala ang dahilan… bakit ba hindi natin ito ginawa noon pa lang… sana hindi na tumagal itong alitan natin…

Mel: ewan ko sa iyo…

Gerald: oh ayan ka na naman… makikipag away ka na naman… kababati lang natin e… truce… (offering his hand for a handshake)

Mel: Truce… (accepting the handshake)

On the other side… curious na si kim sa kung ano ang nangyayari sa pag uusap ng dalawa… habang ang mga kasama niya ay bising bisi sa pamimili ng bibilhin….

Maja: (pointing at a blouse) girls… look at this oh… this looks so good… it is very cute… do you think I should buy it???

Empress: Oh My Goodness… that is so cute… you should definitely buy it… it will look so good on you…

Beauty: naku ate… pag di mo binili yan,,, ako ang bibili… bahala ka…

During the barkada’s whole shopping spree… Kim was only quiet… and erich noticed it…

Kim: (spaced out)

Erich: Kim! (Waving her hands in front of kim…)

Kim: (very shocked) WHAT THE!!! Anu ka ba naman Erich… you almost killed me…

Erich: naku… almost killed me ka dian… patay ka na ata bago pa kita gelatin eh… kanina ka p kaya spaced out…

Empress: uo nga ate kim… para kang patay na naglalakad… kanina ka pa walang kibo dian e… parang wala sa sarili…

Kim: kayo naman… masyado kayong concerned sa akin… natouch naman ako dun… (laughs)

Maja: teka… bago lumaki ang ulo mo dian… bakit ka nga ba wala sa sarili…

Beauty: uo nga… sino o ano ba yang iniisip mo…

Kim: wala ito… don’t worry about me…

Empress: naku… maglilihim ka pa sa amin… anu pa at nagging magbarbarkada tayo diba… so tell us… what is bothering you…

Erich: come on tell us… ng hindi na kami nag woworry sa iyo…

Kim: sige na nga… I was just thinking… anu na kaya nangyari kina mel at Gerald… baka kasi imbes na mag bati nagpatayan pa… haissttt…

Beauty: naku kim don’t worry about them… sigurado ako nag kabati na ung dalwang un… saka mukhang di naman sila nag patayan e…

Kim: panu mo naman nasabi yan…

Beauty: (pointing towards 2 persons) ayun kasi oh…

Maja: oh… ayun naman pala yong inaalala mo e… ayos nap la sila… tingnan mo oh… nag e en joy pang mag window shopping…

Kim: uo nga anu… naku… buti na lang nagkabati na sila… kinabahan pa naman ako…

Empress: ate kim… siguro naman mapapanatag ka na… tara puntahan natin sila…

All of them excitedly went to where they saw Gerald and mel…

Kim: (while running towards ge and mel shouting) hoi!!!

People around her look at her because her voice was too loud…

Kim: Opppsss… sorry ulit… (showing a peace sign)

Gerald: Kim… ganyan ka ba talaga???

Kim: anung ganyan???

Gerald: yan… ang sumigaw sa isang public place… na alam mong 
hindi dapat sumigaw…

Kim: (embarrassed) sorry… (looking sad)

Mel: oh… teka lang… bakit mo ba inaaway best friend ko… kaw talaga… (slaps gerald’s arm)

Gerald: (laughs… showing a very cute smile) sorry mel… kasi naman nakakahiya siya… pinagtitinginan tuloy tayo ng mga tao…

Erich saw kim’s face become sad and a little pale because of what Gerald said…

Erich: ikaw Gerald ha… nagkabati lang kayo ni mel… pero wala kang karapatang pagsalitaan ng ganyan si kim…

Gerald: e sinabi ko lang naman ang totoo ah… totoo naman e… nakakahiya yung ginagawa niya… sisigaw na lang ng basta… (with a very intimidating face)

Maja: aba… ang lakas ng loob mo para… (was cut off by kim)

Kim: (waving her arms infront of everybody as a sign to stop) teka teka… relax lang kayo… tama naman si Gerald e… nakakahiya talaga yung ginawa ko… kaya again I am sorry Gerald… pero… (wasn’t able to finish her sentence… cause Gerald started talking)

Gerald: see… she even admits it…

Kim: teka nga… ikaw ha… (pointing at gerald) pumayag na akong insultuhin mo ako… at nagpakumbaba na din ako… pero para bastusin mo ako in a way na di ako patapusin sa sinasabi ko… (looks mad) pero sige ayos lang… kababati niyo lang naman ng best ko e… (looks at her watch) oh by the way I came here to congratulate you for being friends again… but you found me embarrassing… welcome ha… WELCOME!!! (walks away after giving her friends hugs)

Mel was shocked on what happened… she didn’t even had the chance to defend her best friend… and Maja, beauty, empress, and especially erich noticed it…

Maja: Mel can you come here for a moment please(pulling mel towards one corner away from gerald)

Mel: oh bakit???

Erich: ikaw ha… hindi mo man lang dinefend yung bestfriend mo at kabarkada natin…

Mel: e I was so surprised d ko na alam kung anu ung sasabihin ko kanina…

Empress: Now I understand why you hated him so much… ang sakit pala nung mag salita… at sa ate kim ko pa talaga…

Mel: eh… ganun talaga siya e… I can’t do anything about it… 
Beauty: at least talk to him and tell him that he shouldn’t have talked to kim that way…

Mel: like what I said… I can’t do anything about it… ganun talaga siya e…

Erich: some kind of a bestfriend you are… girls let’s go… baka kung anu pa masabi ko sa Gerald na yan…

And the girls followed where kim went… trying to find out if she really went home already…

So maja texted kim…

Kim wer r u… we r looking 4 u… 
Plis txt bak…

And maja received no reply… so they got worried and called her… cause they know when kim walks out she is really sad, or mad… and they know what she can do if she is mad… and that is what they are afraid of…

Maja: kim plis answer the damn phone…

Beauty: oh anu… ate nagsagot na ba si kim…

Maja: d p nga e… nag aalala na ako…

Empress: asan na kaya ang ate kim ko… baka kung anu na mangyari dun… baka kung saan na naman maisip nun pumunta… baka mangyari pa ung tulad nung dati…

Erich: naku wag naman sana… talagang pag may nangyari kay kim humanda sa atin yang Gerald na yan…

Kim is a very sensitive and personal person… kaya madali itong magdamdam… lalo na kung talagang nasaktan ito… and she also had a past experience when she was really hurt a lot.. and ended up with her doing something bad for herself… kaya sobra na lang ang pag aalala ng barkada niya...
