After 5 years......

VICE'S POV

"Hahaha! Oh, Bil! One roasted chicken for table number 14!" I shouted as I kept on dancing while cooking in my restaurant's kitchen. I don't know why I'm so hyper today!

"Thanks Viceral! 3 pastas and 2 pitcher of buko juice pa para sa table 1! Medyo maraming costumer ngayon, Sir!" Billy shouted back while busy getting some trays on the counter.

"No prob bro! I got this!!"

I continued chopping, cooking, mixing the ingredients to use. Even if its so hard to handle lots of costumer's order in one day, I don't feel any tiredness. I enjoy being a cook I think.

dzzz, dzzz,

I felt my phone vibrating on my pocket. I washed my hands first before I called Frances to continue what I suppose to do. Removing my apron and while grabbing my phone in my pocket. Oh, it's my mom calling. I excused myself for a while, going out of the kitchen due to loud noises. I moved out of the place and gone to the parking area, not so far tho.

"Heya, mom."

"JM, gusto mo ba ng lumpia? Dinalhan ka nanaman ng tita Kris mo, miss ka na raw eh. Kaso umalis na agad kasi may pupuntahan raw." She answered. Gød! Lumpia my loves, but I still can't leave this place. Staff's can't handle too much people without me.

"Ah, ma. Just leave it there okay? Promise me you'll be keeping that for me not for Les, huh?" I made sure.

"Hay nako, okay okay. Sige na, baka marami pang dapat asikasuhin dyan. Bye, anak. Wag magpapagod ah?"

"Opo, mommy. Bye." I ended the call and placed the phone on my pocket again. Aw, my mom really loves me! She's so sweet.

I got back preparing the ingredients to put on the pasta. This is my favorite of all, cooking pasta and especially, eating it. It's like heaven!

******

"I'll be here at 11:30 am tomorrow huh? Wala akong magawa sa bahay so I'm gonna help here. Bye guys." I waved goodbye and ran, heading to my car.

I didn't even get tired in that 8 hours of working on my own shop. It's kinda fun eh. I enjoy working with my best buds, you know, that silly Billy Joe.

I started the engine of the car and drove smilingly. Ewan, I just feel happy.

BEEEEPP!

Fvck, bwisit 'to ah. A car, an Audi R8 to be exact just came out of nowhere. I jumped off my car to look out of the driver. Bwiset eh!

"Hey, excuse me?!" I shouted and knock on the window.

"O-oh, I'm sorry, Mr. It's just my first time to drive eh. Na-eexcite lang ako. Sorasdhfjjkaksd ashdhjak." I didn't understand what she've said. Oh my god, I'm just dreaming aren't I?!

"I didn't mean it, I could pay if your car got some scratches but please forgive m---"

"N-no, lady, stop. I-... I-it's alright. I gotta go." I ran gain I drove fast until I got home.

WAS THAT REAL?!

AM I DREAMING?!

I'm just crazy!

No! It isn't HER!

Vice you're frustrated. You're just tired of work.

But!!!

But it's HER! It's KARYLLE!

"MA! MA! MA! MA! ASAN KA!?" I shout as I entered our home, looking for my mom. Nababaliw na ako.

"Tutoy! Huy! JM! Nababaliw ka na ba? Anong nangyayari sayo? Ayan ka nanaman trenta y dos ka na isip bata ka parin! Hinabol ka ba ng mga puli--?"

"Mom! Seryoso ako! N-nakita ko siya!" Sigaw ko kay mama. Shit, totoo ba talaga 'to? Pasampal nga.

"Nakita mo sino?! Jose Marie huminahon ka nga muna dyan.." Paano ako hihinahon kung ganto?!

"O-okay.. Hoooh! Teka lang ma, hihinga lang ako." Sabi ko at huminga ng malalim para maintindihan naman ni mom yung sasabihin ko. "Okay, mah kasi ganto 'yon. Nagda-drive ako pauwi tapos.... TAPOS MAY SUMULPOT NA SASAKYAN BIGLA AKONG BUMABA PARA TIGNAN TAS MA!! MAA!! MAA! SI KARYLLE YON!!! Nakita ng dalawang mata ko ma!!!" Hindi ko kayang huminahon. Walakayompake.

Halos yugyugin ko na ng todo si mama kasi natataranta't naguguluhan talaga ako kung guni guni ko lang 'yun. Ano ba kasi Vice! Vice! 5 taon na and naniniwala ka paring babalik si K?!

"Jusko. Baka atakihin ka na niyan, tuy. Maupo ka muna, baka hindi naman 'yon si Karylle, Jm. Kita mong bulag siya hindi ba? Paano siya magmamaneho? Saka.... Limang taon na anak.." ..

"P-pero ma.. Di'ba nga nagpagamot siya 'dun? Siguro naman magaling na siya. Mama, pano kung siya talaga yun?" Para akong batang angil ng angil ngayon sa harap ng mama ko. Di eh, kutob ko siya talaga yun.

Si Karylle... Ang Karylle na minahal ko simula nang una ko siyang makita. Actually tago tago at alagang alaga ko parin yung papel kahit na nilukot lukot ko 'to nung una kong nabasa. Masakit eh, sabi isang taon lang. Ganun' na ba katagal ang isang taon sa bansang kung nasan man sila?! Umasa ako eh. Nasan na yung 'Babalik ako'? Kahit ganun' hanggang ngayon mahal na mahal ko parin yang babaeng yan. Naghihintay parin ako.

"S-sige ma, akyat muna ko. Siguro nga guni guni ko lang 'yun.. B-baka kamukha niya lang." Sumuko nalang ako sa kaiisip.

Pagkapasok ko ng kwarto ko. Duon ako nagugugulong sa kama. I don't know what to feel. Sana si karylle yun. Pero ayoko-- ugh! Di pa ko handang makita siya uli. Teka ba't ba ko nasasaktan? Ano ko ba siya? BESTFRIEND ka nga lang niya Vice! Wag kang tanga.
