Ella
"Ate Ella! S'an ba natin mahahanap yung mga yun? Kanina pa tayo paikot ikot dito!" Reklamo ni Jho. Miski ako. Pagod na rin akong mag lakad.
"Ewan ko rin, Jhoana." Nilabas ko yung phone ko. At nasampal ko yung noo ko. Bakit ang tanga ko? MAY PHONE NGA PALA AKO! Jusko, Jorella! Tinawagan ko na agad si Bea. She picked it up on the fifth ring.
"Hello? Ate Ells?" Bea said on the other line.
"Bea!" I yelled.
Inagaw sa'kin ni Jho yung phone. "Hello? Bea? We need your help!"
Inagaw ko rin sa kanya. "Jho? Where are you, guys?" Bea asked.
"Bea! Tell us your location. Pupuntahan namin kayo ni Jho. We badly need your help."
Inagaw ulit sa'kin ni Jho yung phone ko. "Iyo, 'teh, iyo? Maka agaw ka diyan! Hindi naman sa'yo!"
Nag peace siya. "Sorry na! Nag papanic lang. Ayan oh. Ikaw na kumausap." Sabi niya tapos inabot sa'kin yung phone ko. Kinuha ko naman yun.
"What's happening, Ate Ella?"
"We'll explain it to you later. S'an ba kayo?"
"We're here at Ramen Nagi. Hintayin namin kayo rito."
"Okay okay. See you." I said then ended the call.
"Ano? Nas'an daw sila, Ate Ells?"
"Nasa Ramen Nagi daw."
"Nandun lang sila? E kanina pa tayo pabalik balik dun."
"E baka kasi kapag pupunta tayo, sakto namang aalis sila."
"Sa bagay. Tara na! Tumatakbo ang oras."
Tumakbo na kami papunta sa Ramen Nagi kasabay ng pagtakbo ng oras. Lol! And lo and behold! A 5 foot 10 girl named Bea is waiting for us at the entrance.
"Bei!" Sabi ni Jho tapos yumakap kay Bea. Ay taray! May pagyakap.
"Kailangan yumakap, Jhoana?"
"Adrenaline rush."
Mukha mo, Jho! Haha
"What happened ba? And why are you carrying a baseball bat, Jho?" Bea asked.
"Bea! Si Pong! Kailangan nating tulungan si Pong!" Jho exclaimed. Hindi niya sinagot yung tanong ni Bea kung bakit may dala siyang baseball bat.
"Yes, Bea! Pong needs our help." Napa-kunot yung noo ni Bea. "Pong? Why?"
"Yes! Si Pong. Let's go! Where's Maddie and Trey?"
"Bea tara na! Tawagin mo na yung dalawa!" Jho said.
"Wait, guys! Kalma lang kayo." Bea said.
"There's no time for that, Bea! Nas'an ba yung dalawa? Kailangan na tayo ni Pong." OA na kung OA pero na g-guilty kasi ako gawa nang iniwan namin si Pong dun.
"I think you really need to calm down, Ate Ella. Pong is fine."
"How can you say that? Kinuha ng mga security guard si Pong! She's not fine."
Her face furrowed. "What security guard? I tell you, Ate Ells. Pong is fine."
"She is not-" Napatigil ako sa pag sasalita. Papalapit kasi sa'min sila Mads. At kasama nila si... "Pong!" I exclaimed. Nilapitan ko sila at niyakap si Pong.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt? I'm sorry, Pong! I'm sorry for leaving you." I said. Naiiyak na ako.
"I'm fine, Ate Ella. 'Wag po kayong umiyak."
