Giselle's POV

*ringing*

*ringing*

Ningning:   Hello Snug?

Giselle:  Hi Squish sorry I wasn't able to call you, my schedule is so hectic this week and my workload has been insane. 

Ningning:   It's alright nasabi mo nga na magiging busy ka this week okay lang 

Giselle: Anyway, how was the dinner you went to last weekend?

Ningning:  It went really well although there's something you need to know

Giselle:   What is it? How's Winter?

Ningning:  I will send you a photo, wait a sec

     Lil Squish:  **attached photo**

Giselle:   is she getting thinner?

Ningning:   yeah pero medyo lang but she's okay naman, may improvements ng konti hinhintay nalang talaga na dumilat siya

Giselle:  I can see that her hair grew a lot now

Ningning:   Yeah medyo natatakpan na nga yung stitches at the back of her head

Giselle:   I really hope that Winter recovers soon

Ningning:   Hindi mo pa nga pala siya nakita in person

Giselle:   Yeah because I had to fly to New York to go see Rina dba, that was the week after Winter's accident

Ningning:  Naalala ko yan ang gulo bigla, ang daming nangyayari tapos sabay sabay

Giselle:   Do they still consider transferring her?

Ningning:   Yeah kapag hindi pa siya nagising ng October kasi yun yung gusto ni tita, they might bring her to Australia 

Giselle:   Holy, so there's no chance na makikita pa siya ni Rina before they transfer her?

Ningning:   Baka ganun yung mangyari

Giselle:   Oh Squish what are we gonna do?

Ningning:   You told me that you are gonna go home with Karina right? You think kakayanin niya na makita si Winter na ganyan? Dba sabi mo she cannot look at the photos

Giselle:   Yeah that was before but now she can do it, kaya nga pinakita ko yung other photos that you were sending me

Ningning:   But in person it is quite different. Kasi nung first na kita ko kay Winter with her shaved head tapos may mga bandage yung tahi sa likod ng ulo niya, hindi ko kinaya, sana kayanin ni Rina yun

Giselle:   She can take it sinabi niya na din sakin

Ningning:    Ano ba plan niya is she going to visit Winter like lalapit talaga siya? Naka vacation pa din ba siya?

Giselle:  Most probably, yeah there's a chance that she might visit Winter kasi pinayagan na siya

Ningning:  Hindi ba siya nahihiya after what she did to her talagang pupuntahan niya pa? Tsaka pinayagan siya nino?

Giselle:  Squish listen, it is not that simple okay? You can judge her all you want pero kasi hindi niyo naman alam what's really going on with Karina, hindi ko lang masabi sayo because I want to talk to you about it personally, kayo nila Yej and Ryujin. If you are gonna ask me what happened to them, I would say that it wasn't just a normal break up, madami kayo kailangan malaman. Maiintindihan mo din kapag sinabi ko na sayo lahat

Ningning:  Bakit kasi ayaw mo pang sabihin sakin para hindi ako nanghuhula? You know Snug this guessing game that we are doing, it is getting so tiring and I miss you so much, ang tagal tagal mo na dyan

Giselle:   Yeah I know and don't worry because we are going back naman na, I swear two months max, I'm really sorry Squish nadamay tayo dito

Ningning:   It's okay, you are doing this for your best friend, kung kay Winter malamang ganyan din gagawin ko and Rina is my friend as well kahit medyo naiinis pa din ako sakanya

Giselle:   I'm sorry Squish. Most probably I think October we will be there na, during that time sakto na yung six months, she will be over with the thing

Ningning:   Six months of what?

Giselle:   It has something to do with Rina

Ningning:   Kung sinasabi mo na kasi sakin lahat it will be easier

Giselle:   It is not that easy trust me, and I also have to respect my best friend's choices 

Ningning:  Okay I won't pressure you kasi satin lahat I know na ikaw yung pinaka naiipit and ang tagal ng ganito, always remember Snug that I am willing to listen to you and I'm always thankful kasi tinulungan mo si Winter and you were there for her

Giselle:   Thanks Squish I'm so sorry because this is more complicated than I thought, by the way you mentioned something kanina, what is it about, what do you want to tell me?

Ningning:  I wanna give you a heads up uhm, remember nung Sunday dba we've met Winter's friend from the island. Hindi ko kasi alam kung friends ba sila or they could be something more than that, pero sinasabi ko nalang din para lang alam mo

Giselle:   Okay and then?

Ningning:   Chaewon, that's her name, she's the one who lives in London and New York. She told us that she will stay here in Manila hanggang sa magising na si Winter. So do you get it? I mean you are not gonna do something like that kung friend lang yung tingin mo dun sa tao dba?

Giselle:   Are you sure? You may be assuming things nanaman. Look Squish you just met her once how can you tell that there's something going on?

Ningning:   No I met her thrice already kasi binabantayan niya si Winter sa hospital, like we met last Sunday dba and now it is only Thursday pero parang three times na siya nakapunta dun sa hospital, binabantayan niya and she was even talking to her. I think she's into Winter, I don't know

Giselle:   They can just be friends kahit ganun, I mean, being there in a hospital room is not a basis

Ningning:   Yeah I know but pwede din kasi yun kahit maiksi yung pinagsamahan nila, what if it is something deep? Mamaya soulmates pala sila or what, magkamuka pa naman sila ni Winter

Giselle:  So you think she's into Winter?

Ningning:   Nameet na daw niya dati si Winter and ito, how can you justify this..

Giselle:  spill

Ningning: Remember the LP Girl?! Yung hnhunting niyo dati nila Rina and Somi kasi nag send siya ng gift kay Winter nung birthday niya five years ago?!

Giselle:   How can I forget, of course I remember that one pero hindi namin siya nahanap, Ennik and I had a hard time searching for her

Ningning:   Now you really do not have to look for her kasi siya yun, LP girl, the dj and yung new friend ni Winter, it's the same person, that's Chaewon Kim

Giselle:   What?! are you being serious right now?! totoo?

Ningning:   Yes 

Giselle:   oh

Ningning:   See? So pano yan pag umuwi na si Karina and then nagpumilit siya bumisita kay Winter, pano pag nakita niya si Chaewon dun, sabay silang magbabantay?

Giselle:   oh

Ningning:   So anong gagawin, wag mo nalang papuntahin si Rina kay Winter. Off limits siya sa hospital.

Giselle:   Oh

Ningning:   Snug ano ba?!

Giselle:   Well I don't know what to say. Inis na inis si Rina dyan dati, she hates that girl. Squish I think I need to talk to Yeji and this is urgent.

Ningning:   Why do I feel like mas mauuna mo pa sabihin kay Yeji kung ano yung tinatago mo bago sakin?

Giselle:   I'm sorry Squish I think alam mo naman yung reason, I don't mean to offend you pero Ningning madaldal ka, sobrang daldal mo pareho kayo ni Ryujin.

Ningning:   Wow and you didn't mean to offend me right? Hahaha it's okay Snug don't worry about it alam naman ng lahat na madaldal ako. No offense taken.

Giselle:   Squish I swear I need to talk to Yeji and I need her help, yung family ni Rina galing dito last week, naiwan dito si ate Tiffany ngayon.

Ningning:   Ano ba kasi nangyayari kay Rina?

Giselle:   Basta she is not doing well and she is sick, that's why we are on code 1, malalaman mo din pag balik namin.

Ningning:  Pati ba yung code 1 eexplain mo na din sakin when you come back?

Giselle:  Yes I will tell you everything, it's hard to talk about it here since it is a very personal and sensitive topic.

Ningning:   Okay I get it.

Giselle:   Squish okay lang ba if I will call you after? I'm gonna have to call Yeji 

Ningning:  Yeah sure sige lang, gabi naman dito I think Yeji is at their condo na

Giselle:  You wait for me I'm gonna call you back again, I love you Ning

Ningning:   I love you too Snuggie and I miss you so much

Giselle:   I miss you too, don't worry malapit na konting tiis nalang. I will call you back I promise. Bye Squish

According to what Rina's doctor told us, they said that she is doing well with her healing process. She does so good at doing recovery without having any setbacks even when things are real tough these past few months. I know that she thinks differently now and she is fighting. They even allowed her to continue with the treatment back in Manila because she has a huge progress. Ate Tiffany and their parents have agreed and decided to just take her home after two months.

We will seriously be needing our friends' help when she gets back. We're aware that her case is very delicate and sensitive but her requests from me and ate Tiffany is to see Winter, she also wants to talk to her family. Nagsabi na din sila sa doctor and pinapayagan nila siya but we still have to be careful, her having a relapse is the worse thing that could happen and we wouldn't what that because I know how things can get ugly for Karina.

*ringing*ringing*

Yeji:   hello?

Giselle:  hello Yej?

Yeji:   hey Gi

Giselle:   hey, uhh are you busy at the moment?

Yeji:  yeah, I'm not doing anything

Giselle:  sure ka ha because this might take time

Yeji:  yeah, it's fine

Giselle:   is Ry there with you?

Yeji:   uhm she's out there, I think in the living room. Why, do you wanna talk to her? 

Giselle:   no no no, it's good

Yeji:   alright. by the way how are you and Karina how is she?

Giselle:   I'm doing good and Rina's okay. You?

Yeji:  good to hear. me, I'm alright medyo busy lang with work this week. So what's up?

Giselle:  Uhh Yej I called you up because.. 

Giselle:   I seriously need to talk to you

Yeji:   okay, about what?

Giselle:   uhm Yeji, ikaw lang yung unang una na pagsasabihan ko nito,

Yeji:   okay...

Giselle:  it's about Karina

Yeji:   what about her?

Giselle:   Yej promise me wag mo muna sasabihin sa ibang friends natin

Yeji:   you have my word Gi you can trust me

Giselle:   yeah, I know that

Yeji:  okay, go on

Giselle:   Uhm si Rina, she is not okay. She has been suffering from her bipolar disorder relapse nung August of last year pa, hence ganun yung nangyari sa relationship nila ni Winter

Giselle:   she was diagnosed when were in highschool and we really did not expect na pwede pa palang bumalik

Yeji:   Jesus christ Giselle

Giselle:   why?

Yeji:   can you hold on for a minute please

Yeji:  just hold on

Giselle:  are you okay?

Yeji:  yeah yeah I'm okay, just give me a minute

......

......

......

Yeji:  hello?

Giselle:  hello Yej? are you there?

Yeah:  yeah I'm back

Yeji:  Gi grabe ka naman kasi, nakakagulat ka I thought you are gonna say something like Rina has a fever or stomach ache and stuff like that, I didn't know na ganyan pala ka-serious yung sasabihin mo sakin, natapon yung tea that I am drinking

Giselle:   hahaha I'm sorry

Yeji: haha it's fine pero , what were you saying?

Giselle:   Rina had a relapse of her bipolar disorder, that's why she is not mentally stable

Yeji: is that the reason kaya nagkagulo yung relationship nila ni Winter?

Giselle:   yes, that's basically the main cause kaya siya nag bago, the reason for her sudden change

Yeji:   oh no, Heejin was right all along

Giselle:   what do you mean?

Yeji:   Heej has already suspected it, she mentioned it to us na pwedeng it has something to do with Rina's mental state because everything happened so fast

Giselle:   yes exactly, as if she wasn't her self last year and she has done a lot to herself

Yeji:   has done what? what did she do?

Giselle:   she suffered from a lot of manic episodes Yej, like extreme manic depression

Giselle:   it was wild, and...

Yeji:   oh no,

Yeji:   I'm listening Gi just go on

Giselle:  and she has one of the most alarming symptoms of the disorder, she is prone to suicide

Yeji:  holy Giselle, did she...
