Chapter 103: The truth unfolds

It was still early that morning when Vince finally reached home.

He didn't have to get off his car to open the gates since it has an automatic sensor that was connected with their vehicles.

     Vince parked his car inside right away and though he still has a hangover, he managed to head inside.

     "Bro," he heard Andrei speaks.

     "Drei," he looks at him.

     "Morning," Andrei threw him a smug look, "naks, inabot ng umaga, ah? Kayo na talaga ni Trish."

     "Tricia? Don't play with me, Drei. Alam mo na hindi pa ako kinakausap nun."

     "Ha? Hindi ba kayo nagkita?"

     Vince fixed his gaze on him, still confused about what Andrei was telling him, "what do you—"

     "She's about to surprise you, hindi ba siya dumating sa exhibit kagabi?" Andrei tried to asks.

     "She went to the exhibit?"

     "Oo, hindi mo siya nakita?"

     "I didn't see her, Drei."

     Andrei looked at Vince as if waiting if he was just messing with him, "seryoso ka ba, bro?"

     "Oo, ikaw, baka binibiro mo a—"

     "No, I'm serious, bro," he walked towards Vince and started telling him their supposed plan of Tricia to surprise him that night.

     "Oh, sh*t! I'm f*cked up," Vince cussed as he brushed his face off, "nandito si Adan?"

     "Oo, he's upstairs. Tulog pa sila."

     "Damn it, Vince."

     "Bro, okay ka lang?"

     "I'll go check on the kids. Salamat pala sa pagsama sa kanila kagabi, Drei," he patted his friend's back.

     "No problem, malakas sa'kin yung mga yun eh."

The two guys were talking when they heard running footsteps heading downstairs followed by loud screaming.

"Papa ice cream!"
