How Would You Feel

14

After having dinner, umuwi na rin si Vaughnn at Dev. On the way back to Dev's condo, she was talking to him, just trying if she can get him to admit what he's doing.

"Rest mo ba for the whole week?" Dev asked.

"Nope. I have to report pa din. Walang on-site, tho. Puro sa office lang. Why, you wanna do something?" Vaughnn said.

"No, naman. Busy rin naman ako sa hospital." Dev answered. "Pero, can we have breakfast together, tomorrow? You see, the last dinner we set got cancelled."

"Yeah, I know." Vaughnn said. "Sure, breakfast na talaga tomorrow. I'll pick you up tas kain tayo before going to work." Vaughnn said and smiled. He even grabbed Den's hand and kissed the top of it. "Sorry, babe."

"F-for what?" Dev asked, a bit nervous that Vaughnn might just confess right now.

She's actually having mixed emotions with this situation. She wants him to admit what he's doing but she also don't want to. Just like what Tres said, she's afraid that he might just leave her.

"For everything." Vaughnn answered. "Palagi na lang kasing cancel mga lakad natin eh."

"Eh bakit ba?" Dev asked.

Vaughnn continued driving, "What do you mean, bakit ba?" He asked back.

"Bakit laging cancelled mga lakad natin?" Dev said.

Vaughnn chuckled, "Oo na nga po. Kasalanan ko na. Kaya nga babawi sayo eh. Tomorrow, promise. Di na yun maka-cancel." He said.

Dev sighed but smiled at him, "Promise, ah." She said.

"Opo, promise." Vaughnn said.

Nung maihatid niya si Dev sa condo, dumiretso na rin siya pauwi sa condo niya kasi gabi na rin naman. That was the only time Dev got to check her phone and saw Bianca's messages to her as well as Tres'.

To: Bianca
I do too.

When Bianca saw her reply, instead of texting back, she called Dev.

"Hey.." Bianca said.

"Hey.." Sabi rin ni Dev.

"I'm so sorry, Dev." Sabi ni Bianca, feeling really sad for her friend.

Dev let out a chuckle, "It's not even your fault, Biancs." She said. "It is their choice to do that."

"Does Tres know?" Bianca asked.

"Why does he have to?" Dev asked back. "Well, he does. Diba, siya yung kasama ko when we saw them."

"Good." Bianca said.

"Ha? Anong good?" Dev asked.

"Wala. You want me to go there?" Bianca said.

"Nah. Been dealing with it for about 3 weeks, now. This won't hurt that much." Dev said.

"Kausap mo si Tres within those 3 weeks, Dev. Kaya, hindi mo masyadong ramdam." Bianca said. "Iba ngayon kasi he's not around anymore."

"What do you mean, he's not around?" Sabi ni Dev.

"Girl, he told me what happened. Nagkasagutan daw kayo. Though, I highly doubt na he talked back to you." Dev said.

"Uy, grabe ka sakin!" Dev said.

"Girl, wag ako. Kung si Vaughnn yun sure akong aawayin ka talaga nun. But not daddy Tres."
