Searching for the words to say, Patty didn't speak for a while. Admiting to Ericson what she truly feels about Tyler would ruin her relationship with him. Having Ericson as an friend was not a bad idea. He's jolly and gullible at times. You won't feel alone and lonely when you're with him.
"Ericson, Tyler is not hard to approach and he's easy to get along as well as you that's all."
"But why do I feel that your avoiding me?"
"You pissed me off this morning. I really don't want my sleep to be messed up that's why my mood the whole day towards you was like this." she can't look at him in the eye, afraid that he could see that she's lying.
He breath in deeply and release it hearing her reason why. 'Atlist she didn't say she don't like me.'
"I'm sorry for that. I wont do it again next time."
She smile towards him that warm his heart.

When Tyler and Girlie (Trixie) returned to where they left the two, they saw them chatting merrily that they didn't notice their arrival.
"Ahem!" Trixie sat beside Patty and handled a can of soda. " I'm tired Mona. I want to rest early." Trixie yawned long enough to show them three that it's time to go home.
"You're right Girlie. It's time to say see you tomorrow," Ericson said.
"ehh we're going to Ilocos tomorrow." she felt sad suddenly. Thinking that this would be the last time they'll be together, the chance to be with him, would be over.
"Do you mind if I come along?" Ericson asked.
Tyler cast a questionable look at him.
"Only if Tyler would come too." Patty said.
Now Tyler turned to Mona, "why? I prefer staying for a while."
Hearing that, she felt heartbroken but still manage to smile. "I'm just afraid that Ericson would be lonely and out of place without you."
"Hey bro, come along with me.There's alot of tourist spots there. There's zoo, a beach, vintage buildings blah blah blah. You don't want to miss that while in the Philippines,don't you?"Ericson encouraged him to come with along. He don't want Mona to be parted to him. He just met his soulmate and he intended to work on it while she's in his vicinity.
"okey." Tyler don't have a choice so he heaved a sigh indicating defeat.
"Then it's settled.Let's meet tomorrow to get some bus ticket."Patty said.
"No need Mona. I'll go now buy the tickets for reservation so that we don't have to rush." Ericson suggested.
"Thanks then Ericson. Text me what time tomorrow. Girlie and I needs to rest."
"Okey"
They bid goodbyes and parted with the guys.

Trixie slumped her exhausted body in the bed without caring to remove her sneakers. Her mind don't have the capability to order her body move anymore.
While Patty sat on the bed cross legs and hugged the fluffy pillow tightly. "Trix! Am I dreaming? Tyler's been with us the whole day. I never thought that one day, the guy beyond my reach would be infront of me." she said happily. She looked at her bestie and move to her side. She hugged her tightly and whispered to her ears. "Thankyou for the day Trix. I know it's a huge sacrifice for you to wake up early and accompany me. I'm so greatful that you're my bestfriend." then she kissed her on her forehead. She didn't wake her anymore. She removed Trixie's sneacker and tuck her in. It's time to remove her make up and have a good night rest.
