Belle immediately called M as soon as she read J's name on the text message she received.
"May number ka na?" M asked.
"Ah eh, kailangan mo na ba?"
"Sana. Bakit parang gulat na gulat ka?"
"So, hindi ka pa pala naki-kick out ng bahay"
"Hindi. Anong pinagsasasabi mo?"
"Sabagay"
"Ano?"
"Usapan sa staff room na bumait na nga raw yang si Sungit. Si J"
"Ah. Siguro. Ewan." M shrugged her shoulders. It had been months since she and J 'argued' about anything so she'd somehow forgotten already.
"Bakit ka naghahanap ng derma for him? Concerned ka? Diba inis ka dun?"
"Hindi na"
"Hindi na?"
"Matagal na nga tayong di nag-uusap or may mga tinatago ka pa sa akin...sabagay, sino ba naman ako? Bestfriend na walang alam...ganun talaga..."
"Drama!" M giggled. She and Belle had a strong bond that they were almost like sisters. However, like any relationship, there were still many personal details they may or may not know about each other but respected each other's privacy. "May rashes kasi si J"
"Ah. Mamaya text kita. May patient na kakapasok lang e" Belle said. Her gaze was not on the phone camera anymore.
"Ah okay. Salamat" M replied and immediately cut the call. A few minutes later, she received the number from Belle. She made a call and set an appointment for J later that afternoon.

True to what she suspected, J's rashes were an infection. He was prescribed with some cream which he needed to apply twice daily.
