*Lisa's POV*

A week later.. 

This can't be happening. .

"Oh, Lisa." I heard Rosé say. She was shocked, I know for sure. Pero she composed her self after. "I assume you are the Atty. Manoban that my counsel's been talking about."

I fixed my blazer and walked papunta sakanyang table and I sat there. "Yes, That's me." I managed to say.

"I'd like to ask for a better term for my client. You know she's bankrupt, and the reasons why she wasn't able to deliver is more reason to believe that there is no bad faith on her part." I began to explain as I handed her the documents. 

"Alright. Tell her it's settled. She doesn't have to pay." sabi niya at nanlaki naman ang mata ko.

"Is that all?" she asked, at tumango naman ako. "Yes, thank you. I'll be going now." 

Dumiretso ako sa pinto at akmang bubuksan ko na ito nang may naramdaman akong humawak sa braso ko and I almost flinched. 

"Li.." Rosé trailed off.

"Don't call me that." I whispered. "What do you want?" I asked as I faced her. It's been five years pero she still looked the same, just a little paler than dati.

"I'm sorry." she said at nakita ko na she was at the brink of tears. I just looked at her.

"Is that all?" sambit ko naman. "Li, please." she whispered as eh continued grabbing a hold of my hand.

"I told you to stop calling me that." I repeated, trying not to break down right then and there. We just stared for a moment until nagring yung phone ko. Kinuha ko naman ang phone ko and I saw that it was Jennie.

"Yes, still on. I'm picking you up. Okay. Okay. Take Care. I love you too, Ni." I said as I hung up the phone.

"Ni?" Rosé asked. "Is that Jennie?" tanong niya.

"I don't have to answer that." sambit ko and she just stood there. 

"Please, Li. Let me explain."  sabi niya pa with pleading eyes. "What makes you think you have the right, Rosé? Iniwan mo ko ng walang explanation and you expect me to just stand here and listen. Then what? I'm happy now. Please don't ruin it. Again." I said with much conviction and I saw a tear escape from her eyes.

"But Lisa, you don't understand why I did it.." she trailed off, almost sobbing. "Ayokong malaman. Let's not have this talk now, or ever. Please. Okay na ako nang wala ka. I need to go." I said.

"Lisa.." she continued. "No, don't do this." I said as I walked out. Gosh. What a way to start the week.

-------------------

Kakarating ko lang sa parking lot ng condo nang makita ko si Jisoo na pababa sa kotse niya kasama si Jennie. She was holding Jennie and Jennie was clinging onto her, she didn't look well. Agad naman akong tumakbo papunta sa kanila.

"Chu, is everything okay?" tanong ko sakanya sabay hawak sa kamay ni Jennie na agad namang binitawan ni Jisoo.

"Tinatrangkaso si Jen. Ang taas ng lagnat niya kanina. Medyo bumaba naman na pero meron pa din." Jisoo explained and I just nodded.

"Thank you Chu. Akyat na kami ha? Ingat ka." sabi ko sabay buhat kay Jennie bridal style. Naramdaman ko yung init ng mga braso niya at nakita ko din na minulat niya yung mga mata niya nung naramdaman niya na binuhat ko siya at napangiti siya. "I love you." sambit  niya and I kissed her forehead in response.

"Sure ka ba na ayaw mo magstay sa hospit
