The breakfast of the Morales family plus Anne ended quite fast. This was because Mr. and Mrs. Morales had set a meeting for their employees regarding the business they handle. Sasha woke up late and had to be driven by her parents to school. When the two best friends were left alone, they prepared for the meet-up with Peter. "Ella, what do you think will be your outfit for today?" asked Anne to Ella who was sitting on her bed. They were inside Ella's bedroom and  Anne appointed herself as her friend's godmother on the upcoming date. "Uhh, a casual outfit, probably?" Ella has never dressed grand for some meet-up in a mall. She has always dressed simply; she has always preferred minimal shirts paired with jeans or simple dresses when going out. It was more comfortable for her that way. Ipinag-krus ni Anne ang kaniyang mga kamay. She was a self-proclaimed beauty guru and Ella's choice of clothes was far from the top-tier clothes to wear durin

"Ang tagal niyo naman sa labas. Ano pa ang ginawa niyo ron? Kanina pa kami naghihintay ng Papa mo rito Ella. Si Anne din ay hindi pa nakakakain. Ganoon ba kaimportante ang ginawa niyo sa labas?" masungit na bungad ni Mrs. Morales kanila Ella at Peter nang makapasok ang dalawa.Anne, on the other hand, was seating in the dining table, with a sly smile on her face. Hindi niya ito ipinahala sa lahat. Nandoon siya habang iniisip na sana ay naibigay ni Peter ang mga bulaklak na ni-request niya rito. Yes. She was the promoter of the whole ordeal. Sa tingin niya ay isa ito sa mga ginagawa ng mga lalaki sa tuwing may date na kung saan mas lalong nakaka-akit sa mga babae. As a woman herself, she liked flowers. Especially when they are big bouquet of flowers. She particularly liked red roses as well or blue roses if there were any available in the flower stores. Minsan niya nang natanong si Ella kung may paborito itong klase ng mga bulaklak ngunit wala siyang nakuhang direktong sagot m

"Peter, is it okay if we continue our talk before in our house earlier?"  Ella knew that she needed to be clear with Peter when it comes to their relationship. Although they did have a date, a supposedly romantic date, Ella didn't feel anything special at all. She didn't feel that unique sparks that people who were in love talk about every single time. Mabilis nagbago ang itsura ni Peter. He became tense all of a sudden and his heart started beating fast. Despite this change, he managed to appear calm and normal in front of Ella. Scratch that. More like he forced himself to appear calm in front of her.  "Sure," sabi ni Peter. Sa loob-loob niya lang, grabe ang kaba na nararamdaman niya. "What is it that you want to talk about?" "It was nothing much, Peter. Gusto lang muna humingi ng tawad, unang-una, dahil you were dragged into this date because of Anne. Actually, I talked to her and told her to not involve you in our mess or something, pero

"I'm sorry, Ella. But no." Everyone watched the scene unveiled slowly in front of them. It was a scene where Sean Lawrence ran towards the unbothered Marion who was even casually picking his nose. Right before Sean was able to land his big punch on Marion's face, everything stopped. It felt awfully familiar like it was a scene she already once encountered in her life. She was right, though. Because right there and then, Eric cooly appeared once again in the scene. And just like before where she was a hostage of the burglars in the Sweeties Cafe, the time has seemed to stop in front of her, and she was the only one among the normal people inside who can move and talk like it was a normal thing in a frozen time. "Miss Ella, you seem to be interested in being involved with life-threatening situations, huh?" pagtatanong ni Eric kay Ella. He has still the same looks and he was still wearing the same clothes he had always worn. "Eric?! Y-you're here!

"Anyway, Ella, let's talk about what will happen after I continue again the flow of time. More than enough time has passed. I also need to do my duty as a grim reaper."  Sinang-ayunan naman ito ni Ella at nakinig sa kaniya matapos.  "To prevent the misfortunes and tragic deaths that will occur, I cut in the flow of time. Now, the main concern here is the avoidance of your death. In order to do that, the death of Sean Lawrence will be ceased. What will happen to Marion will be the same as what happened to the burglars before when you were locked in the cafe as a hostage. In that way, you won't be incapacitated. With regards to the guy who was already shot before I interrupted, he won't be saved. Sobrang limited na lang ng kaniyang oras at wala naman ako sa posisyon na pagalingin ang isang malapit nang mamatay na kaluluwa. Maililigtas niyo pa siya kung aabot kayo, ngunit hindi ko masisiguro ang kaniyang kaligtasan," mahabang paliwanag ni Eric kay Ella na siya
