Zyona found Chincy in the shoes department trying out the new arrival.

Zyona said "girl! I like that color... I'm with Dana and Daryl I left them in DQ."

Chincy answered "Girl! Eh ito maganda ba?" showing the next shoe she tried on.

Chincy reacted "oww si Dana yong tinext mo sa akin nameet mo sa lake... Nice bonding! Eh sino si Daryl? Your new boylet?" Chincy answered and winked.

Zyona reacted "boylet ka diyan, brother yon ni Dana na long time friend ko nung 6th grade"

Chincy said "wow small world! Yong Daryl Mendoza na first ever crush mo hahaha"

"oo nga eh siya pa talaga kapatid ni Dana, hahaha yup" Zyona said

Chincy recalls "I remember sabi mo sa akin nung 1st year high school "san na kaya siya? Magkikita pa kaya kami ni Daryl Mendoza I crush you!Kainis naman toh freshman year natin walang nakakainspire ang face!"

Zyona quickly answered "hahaha that was the first time we talked to you together with Auery."

Chincy Added." eh ikaw ilang years ka ng single?"

Zyona laughed and answered "hahaha your crazy, bitter ako sa taong nangiwan sa akin! hindi sa love!"

Zyona weirdly looked at Chincy "hahaha sa dami mong natry na shoes wala kang binili... Sige halika na..."

Chincy said"kaya nga may term na window shopping! May gf naba si Daryl?"

"I dont know parang wala..."~ Zyona

"parang? Or hopeful ka lang girl?!"~Chincy

Zyona quickly respond "ikaw girl itulak kaya kita sa escalator hahaha"

Chincy and Zyona went it and approached the siblings.

Zyona introduced her "guys bff ko Chincy... Si Dana and Daryl"

Daryl smiles and said"hi Chincy nice to meet you"

Dana waived her hand and said "hello po ate Chincy!"

Chincy sat beside her and told him that "so you're Daryl... Bakit hindi ka nagsabi kay Zyona kung san ka lilipat ng school after graduation?"

Zyona tapped Chincy's shoulder so hard.

Daryl explained "ahhhmmm unsure kasi parents namin kung saan kami lilipat nalaman ko nalang 2 weeks bago mag pasukan at na transfer na rin pala nila ako, hindi naman uso cp at chat noon..."

Chincy answered " ang uso noon landline, hindi mo siya tinawagan!"

Zyona felt weary "Chincy dami mong tanong! sensya ka na sakanya." as she looked at Daryl.

Dana felt awkward cant relate and torned which one to listen to...

Daryl exclaimed "tumawag kaya ako so many times walang sumasagot, nung lumipat kami wala naman phone and naging busy na sa pagaayos"

Zyona clarrifies and said "for sure nasa province kami lalo pag summer break at if im not mistaken pinapalitan number namin."

Chincy quickly asked "given all that... eh all these years hindi mo siya hinanap Daryl?"

Dana agreed and asked "oo nga kuya hindi mo hinanap si ate Zyona"

Zyona reacts "pag untugin ko kaya kayong 2, naprepressure si Daryl sa inyo friends lang naman kami so hindi big deal na hindi na siya nagparamdam"

Chincy answered sarcastically "ouch friendzone, ano ba yan Daryl ikaw pala ang nagumpisa ng trend!"

Daryl and Zyona asked simultaneously. "anong trend?!"

Chincy expressed "na iwanan si Zyona sa ere ng walang pasabi!"

Dana stated"kuya bad ka! True friends hindi nangiiwan hahaha"

Daryl defended himself "teka lang I was so young then wala naman ako magawa kung nagdecide lumipat parents namin, its not my intention Zyona na maging clueless ka"

Zyona said "its all good Daryl, I understand naman"

"weh ate d nga?" Dana laughed

Zyona proudly said "hahaha yes ofcourse, no hang ups"

"ahhh kaya pala... nang trip kapa na hindi ikaw yon classmate ni kuya dati"
they all laughed.

Then Zyona decided "labas na tayo dito..."

They all walked out the store and stroll around...

"ate Chincy sino si Blue?" Dana whispered

While Zyona and Daryl infront of them..

Chincy surprised reaction "bakit mo naitanong? you knew him?"

Dana revealed "inapproach si ate kanina, ang cute kasi nameet namin kanina..."

Chincy shouted "girl! ang dami naman nangyayari sayo hahaha. Andito si blue? Yong baby boy mo hahaha"

Zyona looked at Chincy and said "hahaha ang lakas ko kay Lord eh nagpray lang ako kagabi, in instant"

Daryl asked "ano ba pinagdasal mo?"

While they sat on the lounge area, they continue their convo.

Zyona explained "well sabi ko lang sana may something new bukas, all i want is love that never fades.. "

Dana bizarre answer"answered prayer kasi andito na si kuya?"

Zyona answered "hahaha silly girl! friends will here to stay and loves you forever katulad niyo..."

"can u stop saying friends friends friends nakakahiya kay Daryl." Chincy insisted and laughed.

Daryl smiled and starred Zyona a long time while the girls talked about the latest movie.

Chincy noticed him and said "so Daryl when mo balak kumurap kay Zyona? "

and added "kung may feelings na kasi sabihin na wala ka na sa 6th grade"

Dana and Chincy laughed so hard but Daryl felt conscious while...

Zyona smiled and touched her hair as she used to when feeling starred by somebody.

Chincy suddenly remembers she has to go home because Bjorn will be online in an hour, she told everybody and left.

Zyona told Dana and Daryl "kayo baka may gagawin pa kayo?"

Daryl " wala naman, ikaw bunso may assignments ka ba?"

Dana " wala kuya may program lang kami bukas"

Daryl " were not in a hurry, ikaw Zyona may gagawin?"

Zyona "actually, I have to leave na rin kasi I promise my siblings we'll have dinner tonight"

Daryl " okay yan, sige go ahead hatid kita kaso sanay ka ba sa motorbike?"

Zyona " no need mag cab na lang ako malayo din yon... I'm not used to it, takot ako sumakay sa ganyan"

Daryl said " are you sure? I drive safe. sige let me take you to the cab para makita ko plate number"

Dana talked to herself " hello andito ako, hokage moves si kuya. push mo yan"

Daryl "hatid natin si ate mo sa taxi bay area"

They all stood up and went outside the mall and wait for a few minutes and Zyona got her ride while daryl took a photo of the taxi just incase.

Zyona told them "bye guys, see you next time mauna na ako sa inyo."

Dana said "okay ate, ingat ka po"

Daryl closed the door of the cab and said "Zyona thank you, ingat ka and message ka na nakarating ka na"

Zyona said " kayo ingat wag pasaway mag drive, thank you din" and talked to herself and said " ngayon na lang ulit may nag open and close ng door sa akin... its been awhile "

*Daryl and Dana went home and received Zyona's message through fb messenger that shes safe. And Their parents arrived and bought dinner. During the meal, their father told them they have to leave tomorrow morning for one week conference in Baguio for the expansion of their business.

And their mother said to Daryl to take care of the house and reminded Dana to study hard and prepare for the future. It was an ordinary night for the siblings.

On the other hand, Zyona was very happy for seeing her family and catch up with them. she got home before 11 and she easily fall asleep...

And as the days goes by everybody seems busy with their own thing until Friday came in.

Dana said after the class dismissal " TGIF! weekend na wala na pasok bukas "

Zyona realized while having a snack after her long day calling clients "yay Friday na owww shoot wala naman akong lakad bukas sunday pa, hay naku Blue kung hindi lang ako nagpromise na iinform kita..."

And thought of "invite ko kaya si Chincy or Auery para masaya" texted her BFF's.

*Both of them are not available.

Auery is going to see her doctor and will attend the reunion of Louie's clan in Cavite while Chincy already have a date with her cousin who arrived last night from Canada.

Zyona said to herself "oh my hindi sila pwede, si Dana kaya?"

Zyona sent a message in facebook and said "girl may lakad ka tomorrow? Can you give me your number para matext kita ty"

Dana checks her facebook everytime the class is over. And read Zyona's message and happily replied.

Dana expressed "haha excited na ako bukas makikita ko si blue"

Daryl said "umayos ka nga dyan bata mo pa lumalandi ka na"

It's past 10 in the evening and Zyona wants to sleep alalready and prayed "Lord hear our prayers, sana maging ok lahat bukas kayo na po bahala sa amin ng family and friends ko".

While the siblings stay up late for a movie night and both slept 2 am.

Zyona woke up at 11 am, prepared her brunch since she's feeling lazy. She had instant noodles with bread and apple. Took a bath after and leaves at 12:30 noon to meet Daryl and Dana.

And added "ate dyan ka na sa harap, sa likod ako"

"girl... Sasakyan niyo ito, dito ka" Zyona

Daryl said "sakay na po papaalisin na tayo dito"

Zyona had no choice but to seat infront as the traffice officer whistled to move the car quickly. Dana shared the story about the movie they watched last night to Zyona. She told Daryl the place they're going to meet Blue. Luckily no traffic jam, Zyona saw Blue went inside the ktv bar and grill and said...

Zyona pointed out"sakto lang tayo ayon si blue kakapasok lang"

Daryl asked "alam ba niya kasama mo kami?"

Zyona laughed and said "hindi pero ok lang yon the more the merrier"

Daryl parked the car and they walked in towards blue sitting near the reception.

"blue!" ~Zyona

Blue said "Zyona, you're with them?" as he looked at the siblings.

Zyona smiled and said "yes, any problem?"

Blue was surprised and answered right away "wala akyat na tayo, hi Kuya Daryl and Dana right?"

* they all went on the 2nd floor

Dana eyes twinkled and said "hi blue! Yes thats my name!"

"musta bro?" ~Daryl

Blue stated "I'm good man! Game lahat ah kantahan 6 hours reserve na yong room and dagdagan ko nalang food"

Zyona insisted "magsharing nalang ako blue"

Blue refused "Zyona treat ko ito pagbigyan niyo na"

Daryl offered "bro ako nalang magshare sa fee"

Blue still resisted "hindi ok lang, youre my visitor and Ate's friends" Blue laughed

Zyona quickly said "haha si Dana lang mag aate sa akin ah"

*They find their own seats Daryl next to Zyona beside Blue and Dana.

Dana asked "sino mauuna kakanta? My song na ako"

"go girl, ikaw na!" ~ Zyona

*the food are being served and everybody had their drinks

Blue asked "Z bakit hindi mo sinama din BFF's mo?"

Zyona answered "busy eh, may mga prior commitments na"

Daryl offered nachos and burger to Zyona... Zyona appreciates it and smiled at him.

Dana sings...

*Hey I just met you
And this is crazy
But here's my number
So call me maybe
It's hard to look right at you baby
But here's my number
So call me maybe

Blue sings...

* Uso pa ba ang harana?
Marahil ikaw ay nagtataka
Sino ba 'to, mukhang gago
Nagkandarapa sa pagkanta
At nasisintunado sa kaba...

Zyona sings...

*Call up all our friends
Go out this weekend
For no damn reason
I don't think we'll ever change...
...HERE'S TO NEVER GROWING UP

Daryl sings...

*I've known you for so long
You are a friend of mine
But is this all we'd ever be?
I've loved you ever since
You are a friend of mine
But babe, is this all we ever could be?

Dana spoke and said in the mic "ako ulit next, hanep sa mga chosen songs hahaha"

Blue happily said "I couldn't agree more!"

Dana dedicates it to Zyona "ate para sayo toh next song..."

*Here I am
I haven't gone that far away,
And since I am
The kind of friend you know
Would stay with you through all the pain
Never to leave you in the rain
Ready to listen to what you've been through
Your woes and blues and share each other's...
Points of view...

Blue's turn and said "This one is for Zyona also"

*Will you count me in?
I've been awake for a while now
You've got me feelin' like a child now
'Cause every time I see your bubbly face
I get the tingles in a silly place...

Zyona reacted "Oh I miss that song! Ito para sa lahat"

*So I put my hands up, they're playin' my song
The butterflies fly away
I'm noddin' my head like Yeah!
Movin' my hips like Yeah!
Got my hands up, they're playin' my song
And now I'm gonna be okay
Lets party in the usa...

Daryl "this one goes for you too Zyona"

*You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small
But I see your true colors...

Zyona asked "hahaha birthday ko ba ? For me yong songs? Seriously Hahaha gutom lang yan guys"

And they continue to sing their favorite songs for more than 5 hours.

Dana shouted "last song kanta tayo guys" they all stood up and sang...

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
We are taking it easy
Bright and breezy, yeah
We are living it up
Just fine and dandy, yeah
And it really doesn't matter that we don't eat
And it really doesn't matter if we never sleep
No it really doesn't matter, really doesn't matter at all
Coz we are so young now, we are so young, so young now
And when tommorow comes, we can do it all again....

Blue was impressed how bubbly and close Dana to Zyona while Daryl felt awesome as he saw Zyona having fun like the good old days.

Blue expressed "the night is over guys thank you for tonight!"

Dana said "I have fun and my tummy is full hahaha"

Zyona agreed and said "me too, it was a blast!"

Daryl "time to go home! I had a great night nakakamiss din pala mag concert haha"

Everybody laughed as they went to the parking area.

Blue approached Dana "hindi ba nauubos energy mo? Haha Btw nakita ko account mo kay Zyona add ko kayo ah..."

Dana quickly answered "haha blue bagsak ako nito paguwi, oo naman" and told to herself "yikes add niya ako..crush naman eh"

Blue laughed and added "let's talk soon"

Dana blushed and said "okay blue"

Daryl interrupt and said "whats going on?"

Blue answered "accept mo na lang friend request ko bro para keep in touch"

Daryl "ahh ok sige oh uwi na kami salamat!"

Zyona "bye Blue sa kanila na ako sasabay on the way naman"

Blue thought Zyona will hugged him instead she slapped his arms so he does the same thing. And Zyona reacted " aray!"

Blue stated "ohh im sorry Z, I can bring you home"

Zyona insisted " hindi na blue para hindi kana mapagod"

Daryl assured him "I'll bring Zyona safe, iisa lang way namin"

Blue "ok ikaw na bahala kay ate haha peace!"

They all left and drove way home. And Dana asked "ate san ba condo mo?

Zyona answered "sa filinvest towers lang"

Daryl respond "dyan ka lang pala ang lapit mo sa amin"

Dana added "oo nga may bago ng tambayan haha"

Zyona smiled and said "haha welcome kayo sa place ko"

It took them almost an hour to Zyona's condo...

"thank you sa paghatid, you take care guys!" ~Zyona

"welcome and thanks sa pagsama sa amin" ~Daryl

Dana wondered and asked "ate what floor ka? Anong number?"

"sana may next bonding ulit! 3rd floor #306" ~Zyona

"oo ba set up natin sunod" ~Daryl

"date ba yan kuya?" Dana teased his brother

Zyona left laughing and...

Daryl said while driving "ikaw bunso panira ka ng moment"

Dana exclaimed "hahaha puro moment kana nga, ano nga mga kinanta mo kuya friend of mine, ang huling el bimbo, this love, just the way you are, rainbow at 214. Ikaw na! "

Daryl giggles and said " memorize! halata ba?"

"ang alin kuya?" ~Dana

"wala bata ka pa nga" ~Daryl

Dana whispered "bata daw ako hindi ko lang nagets pwede naman iexplain..."

They all had a good night sleep and Zyona wasn't able to go to lake the next day because its raining. They seem to have constant communication with another.

2 weeks later Blue planned to meet Dana in the mall, and finally his brother allowed him he has only untill 6pm and hes going to fetch him since he has a meeting with a prospect distributor of motorbikes nearby while Zyona had a seminar for a week and felt exhausted saturday afternoon and she fell asleep in the sofa.

Dana is feeling excited to see Blue...

Blue called her attention "Hi Dana... Shakeys tayo"

Dana happily said "treat mo ba? Basta madaming mojos"

Blue smiled at her "haha yes ininvite nga kita eh, no problem fave ko din yan"

15 minutes later, they ate their chicken and mojos the pizza is served hot. They continued their convo about their lives, interests and how Zyona met her and became good friends.

Dana was so curious to asked "how old are you?"

Blue said "I'm 21" and Dana smiled.

Moments later Blue said "samahan mo ko kay Zyona lets surprise her, fave niya pizza kasi what do you think?"

Dana ~"Ay gusto ko yan haha matutuwa yon"

Blue ~"but I don't know her place"

Dana asked "bakit hindi mo alam?"

Blue stated "hindi ko naitanong simula ng dumating ako and dba sa inyo siya sumabay"

Dana quickly answered "ahhhh don't worry I know naman kung saan!"

Blue shared and described Zyona to Dana and she was amazed and said "she is really a great friend"

After 3 hours bonding they're heading to Zyona's condo.

Dana's concern "baka maistorbo natin si ate? Or baka wala siya dyan?"

Blue feeling hopeful "I hope she's here"

Blue knocked 3 times and Zyona heard it and wondering "sino naman yan, haaay nakakaantok"

Dana stands behind blue to surprise her that he's with him.

Zyona opened the door and shocked...

Blue smiled "Hi Z! Surprise I bought your favorite pizza"

Zyona said in a cranky voice " what are you doing here? How did you know my place?"

Dana stepped out and said "surprise ate! I'm with him" in a happy face.

Zyona was even more surprised...

Blue quickly said "I miss you so much ramdam ko naman umiiwas ka pag tayong dalawa lang, youre not even answering my text messages lately. So I'm here to tell you everything, I want us back!..."

Dana was stunned what she heard and felt being used. Zyona saw Dana's reaction and she got worried...

Dana "ahhhmmm I'm done here alis na ako"

Zyona followed her outside and said...

"Dannnaaaa wait, I didn't mean to hide what Blue and I had"

Dana answered while getting teary "nagfeeling ako na he wants to get to know me hindi pala, nagfeeling ako na in a short period of time close na tayo hindi pala..."

Zyona explained "I'm sorry I didnt meant to hide that..."

Dana mad reaction " but you already did siguro kasi bata pa ako... Go kelangan niyo pa magusap may aayusin pa ata kayo, stupid me! I didnt see this coming..." and she ran away crying.

Zyona felt down... Suddenly...

Blue hugged her from behind and said "please lets give ourselves a chance..."

Zyona turned and looked at him for so long and took a deep breathe....

** Did the chapter shocked you as well?

Will Dana share what happened to his brother?

What will be Zyona's response?

Will they get back together?

Keep smiling everyone!
