"Selle?"

She calls when she gets out of her car and notices Giselle and her companion walking towards her direction. Nasa underground parking siya ngayon nang apartment nila Joy at Yeri. Kailangan niyang sunduin ang best friend niya na nasobrahan na naman daw sa alak according to their friends. Actually nagtatampo pa ito sa kanya hanggang ngayon.

Giselle has to squint her eyes to see if it's really her. Nakasuot kasi siya ng cap and mask. Then the two stop in front of her.

"Min? Are you here for Ning?"

"Oo sana. Galing kayo kila Joy?"

Giselle nods. She didn't know na they've become really close na rin since noong birthday ni Ning.

 Kinabahan siya bigla especially when she's seen the distressed look from Giselle. Wala pa namang filter si Ning whenever she's drunk. 

She turns her attention to the other woman behind Giselle. Her eyes are swollen and her nose is red. She obviously cried earlier. 

Winter sighs. She's sure something happened. "May sinabi ba siya?"

"Min, pano niya nalaman?" Giselle asks.

"I didn't tell her. She accidentally found out." She just says. They don't have to know how.

Winter bites her lower lip. "Usap tayo saglit. Okay lang ba?"

Natigilan si Karina for a moment. This is unexpected. Giselle turns to her and Karina nods her head at her eventually.

"I'll wait na lang sa car." Turo nito sa sasakyan na nakapark sa di kalayuan. 

They keep quiet as they watch Giselle walks away.

Winter clears before speaking. "Do you mind if sa loob tayo ng sasakyan?"

"I don't." Karina tries to calm herself down. She's palpitating at the moment.

She follows Winter in her car. She takes off her mask once they are seated.

Karina can hear Winter's deep breath for the nth time. "Anong sinabi ni Ning sayo?" She asks without looking at her.

"The truth. Everything that you went through." 

Winter can still remember vividly. After their talk and closure, she thou
