Psalm 119:71
It was good for me to be afflicted so I might learn Your decrees.

Vice was laughing so hard that Lea had to throw him a glare to stop him.

"Sorry," he raised his hands in the air as if surrendering, "Ang priceless talaga ng face mo no'ng nalaman mong company nina Aga 'yong makakasama natin sa Team Building this year."

"Bakit? Ayaw mo ba siyang kasama? First time lang na Font Empire 'yong kasama natin. Akala ko ba the best things are those that happen for the first time?" Dawn asked her.

"Hindi niyo ba naiisip kung gaano ka-awkward 'yon?" she asked them, "Ayaw ko talaga. I might not go with you for the first time."

"Papayag ba kami, Lea?" Vina rhetorically asked her.

"Wrong question. It should be, papayag ba si Sir Christian na hindi ka sasama? Remember, cheer mo ang nakapag-panalo sa basketball game nila last year?" it was Vice.

And then Vina chuckled, "Ayaw mo na bang i-cheer si Sir Christian?"

Dawn smirked and pinched Lea's side, "Ichicheer niyan si Christian unless... Kasama si Aga sa players ng Font."

She made face, "Hindi 'yon maglalaro. Hindi siya qualified. Sa taba niyang 'yon, hindi siya makakatakbo."

"Sinong mataba, Lea?" a voice familiar to her was heard.

Aga's hands were already on her waist when she turned around to check who it was, "Sinong hindi makakatakbo kasi mataba?"

"Wala. 'Yong kapitbahay namin. Gusto raw kasing mag-jogging, eh, ang taba." she lied.

But Aga smirked, "Kala mo hindi ko narinig, ah?"

"Narinig mo naman pala, eh." she answered.

"Kung hindi ako makakatakbo kasi mataba ako, paano ko nahabol 'yang puso mo, aber?"

And her friends squealed, "Ang lalandi."

"Get a room, you, guys!"

"Hi, babes. Sorry, I'm late." he greeted Lea with a kiss on her forehead.

"You're always late. Anong bago do'n?"

He chuckled, "I know. Ang aga niyo kasi laging dumadating, eh."

Vice rolled his eyes at him, "Uso alarm clock, Muhlach."

"Ayaw ko no'n. Wala akong pambili ng alarm clock. Bilhan mo 'ko?"

"Una, sapatos lang ang binibili ko," Vice meaningfully said which made his friends laugh, "Pangalawa, may hindi-jowa-pero-parang-jowa ka, sa kanya ka magpabili."

"Oh, 'di ba, may label naman kami." Aga told them.

"Masyadong mahaba. Nakakapagod bigkasin." Vina retorted.

Aga chuckled, "Nag-ayos na ba kayo ng gamit for the Team Building?"

"Hindi pa. Bakit nakapag-ayos ka na ba?"

He shook his head, "Medyo."

"Taray!"

"Late lang ako pero Boy Scout ako."

"Eh 'di wow."

"Babes, sa akin ka sasabay, ah." he informed Lea, his tone wasn't meant to ask her but it was more of an order.

"May bus kami going to Pampanga." she answered, "At doon ako sasakay. Ikaw, I'm sure your company would also rent bus. You don't have to use your car."
