Tanghali na nang bumangon si Trisha and lazily went to the kitchen to prepare something to eat.  Ginising siya ng kumakalam niyang sikmura.  She was yawning when the front door opened and revealed her bestfriend. “Chlo!” sabay takbo ni Trisha and affectionately hugged her bestfriend. Niyakap din siya ni Chloe at natatawa sa ginawa ng childish niyang bestfriend. Minutes passed, Trisha was still clinging to her.  “I’m so glad you’re here,” prolonging the so. “So how are you?” Chloe asked as she pulled Trisha towards the sofa. “I’m fine,” hinawakan niya ang mga kamay nito.  “Really, I am,” pangungumbinsi niya dito nang mapakunot-noo ang kaibigan.  She really did feel fine.  Remembering Marsden’s help last night, she told her friend everything that happened. “That Jade I would really skin her alive, bruha talaga.  Friends with the same feathers really flucks together,” galit na galit na turan ni

Weeks passed, Unti-unting nawawala ang kirot na dala ng betrayal ni Drake. Nawala na rin ang echo ng scandal na sinimulan ng kanyang pinsan.   Trisha and Drake were both putting their relationship behind.  Kapag nagkikita sila sa Office, hindi pa rin sila nagpapansinan.  Mas mabuti na rin sa isip ni Trisha upang hindi na sila pag-usapan pa ng mga kasamahan sa trabaho. Sa tingin ni Trisha nakakatulong din ang friendship ni Marsden para siya makalimot.  Palagi itong nangungumusta at siya rin dito.  Once in a while nagpapadala ito ng chocolates from Pixies which her friends really love to eat.  Ngayon nga may delivery nanaman siya from Pixies, one dozen of mini chocolate cupcakes na may chocolate frosting on top.  “Oh my God Trisha, huwag mo munang sagutin si Marsden para may rasyon pa rin tayo from Pixies,”  saad ni Abby na sarap na sarap ang kain.  Nakaupo ito sa kanyang cubicle habang busy siya sa pagphotocopy ng kany

Friday night Trisha was preparing to sleep and scanning her f******k account when she got a chat from Marsden. Ganito sila palaging nagcha-chat… kahit na ano lang ang topic, about their work and other nonsense. Bago lang din niya nalaman na may-ari pala si Marsden ng Construction and Engineering Company, Engineer din pala ito. »Hey pretty! Whats up? She laid in her bed and replied: »Hey pretty!😝 Still getting prettier each day. »Same here girlie.hahaha »Hahahaha.  Hey man how’s your day? »I’m not going to reply until you call me handsome. »(rolling my pretty eyeballs here) »Com’on  I’ve called you pretty (I’m sulking here) Trisha laughed, para talaga itong bata. »Okay fine Mr. Handsome, how’s your day? »Yeeh! I

Natatawa na lamang si Max sa dalawa. “She’s cool,” lumapit sa kanya si Elise. “Yeah, she makes him laugh.” “You knew her?” “Just an acquaintance, I knew his ex-boyfriend.  Why all the questions Elise?” tanong ni Max with a mischievous smile. “Nothing!  I’m just curious, they looked good together.  Do you honestly believe na wala talagang namamagitan sa kanila?”  curious na saad ni Elise.  She was itching to know because if this girl was the one who could break Marsden’s wall then she wanted to make sure she was worth it. Max thought of the picture and mysteriously said.  “I don’t know but it’s for them to find out and for us to wait patiently dear,”  sabay tapik sa pisngi ni Elise at tuluyan ng umalis para magpahinga sa sarili niyang kwarto…he was also travel weary.   Max knew Trisha had already cracked the outer shell Marsden had built to protect himself from the hurt again.  Hopefully

Kinaumagahan nagmamadaling nag-ayos at naghanda ng gamit si Trisha dahil napatagal ang kanyang paggising.  Madaling araw na nang dalawin siya ng antok.  “Naku naman ba’t ba hindi mo ako ginising Mars, nakakahiya,” nasabi niya ng ayusin ang higaan.  Ngunit bigla siyang natigilan nang maalala ang narinig kagabi.  She decided to act normal right now and talk to him about it later kaya nang matapos ay dumiretso na siya sa kitchen kung saan narinig niya ang magiliw na kwentuhan ng mga kasama. “Good morning Trish!” masayang bati sa kanya ni Suzette nang makita siyang nakatayo sa may pintoan. Naggood morning din ang iba nang lingunin siya.  Siyempre maliban kina Rheanne at Myrtelle. “Good morning! Pasensya na napasarap ang tulog ko.”  Dumiretso siya sa bakanteng upuan sa tabi ni Marsden. “Good morning!” bulong nito sa kanya while grinning.  “Don’t worry, kakagising lang din namin.”  He poured a hot coffee sa cup niya at nagpat
