Debris (a vicerylle story)

LI. HAPPY NA,BIRTHDAY PA

The worst feeling in life is not being lonely. Its being forgotten by someone you could not forget.

-Vice

Nagdaan ang ilang araw na si Vice ay lagi na lang nagmumokmok at nagkulong sa kwarto. He was so stressed that he couldn't take care of his son. May mga araw na hindi sya kumakain at laging bote ng alak ang kanyang katabi matulog. He locked down his self on his room because he was so afraid that Clarence might see him depress. Hindi na din sya nakarinig mula kay K. Walang tawag o text. In short , di na ito nagparamdam sa kanya.

His friends tried to comfort him but they couldn't even enter his room. He don't want to see anybody. Tanging si K lamang ang gusto nyang makita at makausap ngunit di iyon nangyari.

"Meme?? " Buern knocked on Vice's room but there were no response.

"Meme??? di kapa nakakakain mula kagabi... " Archie added. The two were outside his room early in the morning.

"Meme... buksan mo naman to oh.. " Buern sounds concern as he was knocking louder on the door.

Biglang nagbukas ang pinto at bumungad sa kanila ang Vice na halos di na nila makilala. His hair was all messed up. Napakalaki ng eye bags. And the way he dressed up look liked he was been deprive with clothes. Nakaboxer lang ito ang nakasando. Katulad na katulad ito sa Vice na tatlong taong walang dereksyon ng iniwan ni Karylle.

Nanlumo sina Archie at Buern sa itsura ng kaibigan.

"Ayokong kumain. Iwan nyo muna ako." he said emotionless.

"Pero Me--" Buern responded.

"Sana intindihin nyo muna ako.." pagpuputol nya sa sasabihin ni Buern. He went back to his bed and layed down.

"Hindi lang kasi namin maintindihan kung bakit ka nagkakaganyan.. " Archie said as they both entered his room.

"Simula nong isang linggo na umuwi ka dito , halos di mo na kami pinapansin tapos hindi ka pa lumalabas ng kwarto ilang araw na.. " Buern added.

"si Clongclong nakakain na ba?" Vice asked.

"Ayon sa baba, pinapakain ni Kay. Alam mo ba na pati yung bata nagtataka kung bakit ka nagkakaganyan.." Archie answered.

"Tungkol na naman ba ito kay Karylle?"Buern asked.

"Bihisan nyo ang bata,may lakad kami.." Vice answered not minding Buern's question.

"Mabuti naman at naaalala mo pa yung birthday ng bata.  Halos mamuti na yung mga mata kakahintay sayo kaninang umaga lumabas ka sa kwarto.. " Buern added.

"Please Buern, Archie.. not now.. bihisan nyo na ang bata please.." he answered before entering the bathroom.

"Oh sya sige .. Bilisan mo na nga dyan.." Archie said.

The two went out of his room and Vice fixed him self. Pagkatapos ay lumabas na sya kwarto. Dumiretso sya ng kusina upang hanapin ang anak pero di nya ito mahanap. Nakita nya lamang si Kay na naghuhugas ng pinggan.

"Buern.. nasan si Clongclong?" tanong nya kay Buern na kasama si Archie na nasa sala nanonood ng tv.

"Andun sa labas kasama si K.."sagot ni Buern.

"Kay?? Eh nandun sya sa kusina naghuhugas ng pinggan.." nagtatakang sagot nya.

"Kasama nga si K, as in Karylle. Yung nanay nya!" sagot ni Archie.

Ngunit di naman nakasagot agad si Vice at dalidaling lumabas patungong garden.

Pagkalabas nya ay nakita nya agad si K at Clongclong naglalaro. May hawak hawak na video recorder si K . They were laughing and just by Vice looking at them, they were happy together. Clongclong missed her mom so much. He was hugging and kissing her. At labis naman na ikinatuwa naman ni K iyon.
