♚✧ ✦ ✧ ✦ ✧ ♚"What happened?" tanong ni Kendrick pagkarating niya. Akay ko naman si V papunta sa CR ng guest room. Inupo ko siya sa bathtub.
"Hindi ko alam Ken. Pagdating ko kanina wala na siya dito. Then I went out to look for her. It took me hours." Sagot ko. Pumasok na ako ulit sa CR and I started undressing V. Kailangan niya maligo dahil sobrang baho niya. V kept on pushing my hand.
"V, you need to take a bath. You smell like an ashtray and you have vomit on your hair!"
"A-ay-ayaw ko B.." then she started sobbing. I sat down in front of her.
"V, anong meron? Tell me. Bakit ka ba nagkakaganito?" umiling naman siya pero I cupped her face. Iniiwas niya ang tingin niya.
"Please V, tell me."
"Ade is back.." tapos tinulak niya ako at sumuka siya. Ew. I stood up and went out.
"DARCY!" sigaw ko paglabas ko. Agad naman lumapit si Darcy sakin.
"Paliguan mo si V. Then tuck her in bed." Utos ko sa kanya. Nagtataka namang nakatingin si Ken at Ollie sa'kin. I gestured at them to follow me outside. Naupo kami sa living room ko.
"Will you please tell me what the fuck is happening with Veronica?" kalmadong sabi ni Kendrick.
"I honestly don't know. Pero she said Ade is back." Sagot ko.
"You mean Adrianna Mills? Her friend?" tanong ni Ollie.
"Ex-friend." I corrected him.
"Ex friend? Bakit 'di ko alam yun?" si Ollie again, tinignan ko lang siya. Katahimikan ang bumabalot sa'ming tatlo.
"V told me not to tell you. Pero I think it's time you know. Galit si Ade sa kanya dahil sinisisi niya si V sa pagkamatay ng boyfriend niya."
"So? Is V guilty?" tanong ni Ken.
"Yes, I am." Napatingin kaming tatlo kay V na nakabathrobe pa at nakatayo sa doorway ng guest room.
"V, why aren't you sleeping?!" masungit na sabi ko sa kanya. Lumakad naman siya papunta samin.
"Why would you say you're guilty?" tanong ulit ni Ken sa kanya.
"I gave him a drink that wasn't meant for him.. It was for me. Ade poisoned it dahil pinlano niya na landiin ko si Anton and then she would barge in para awayin ako pero I didn't give in. Instead I suggested na we drink the wine. Pagkainom ni Anton, nagulat nalang ako bumubula na yung bibig niya.." tapos naiiyak na si V. I hugged her.
"I told you V.. It's not your fault.."
"Ade came back because she's blackmailing me.. She has a tape of what happened.. And now... kasama niya na si Dean." Tapos humagulgol na siya.
"What?! That bitch!" pagalit kong sabi. "Nasan na siya ngayo-"
"B, Ken, Ollie, promise me na hindi niyo siya hahanapin. Promise me na hindi niyo siya gagantihan.. Ayokong madamay kayo please." She said in between her sobs. Nagtinginan lang kami nila Ken pero I already have a plan in mind.

The next day after ng classes namin at Ash Lane hinatid ko si Bianca sa bahay nila. Pinagstay niya muna ako saglit dito sa kanila. She gave me some juice and nagpapahinga lang kami. Tumunog naman ang phone ko. I checked kung sino. It's Mich. She must have found Ade already. Inutusan ko kasi siya na hanapin si Ade since she's in town. I know I promised V na hindi ko siya hahanapin at gagantihan, pero why would I do that? Ade needs punishment. I answered the call and pretended that kausap ko ang Mom ko.
