Three sentence AU: KevJe, after divorce

"So.. how's Singapore? Okay naman ba?"

Jersey tilted her head, and nodded. "Yeah. Medyo nahirapan kami ni Atom na maghanap ng condo but.. okay naman. Kayo ni Krishna?"

"Ayun, halos mabaliw siya sa thesis niya. I couldn't understand a single shit about architecture, but our daughter did well." Hinanap ni Kevin ang anak niya sa pila ng Architecture graduates. Ilang minuto na lang aakyat na si Krishna sa stage. He (they) couldn't believe it. Magkakaron na rin sila ng architect sa pamilya nila.

"Nga pala, Kevin.."

"Hmm?"

"I checked my bank account the other day.. you didn't have to do that."

Gulp. "What?"

"You sold Leinz?"

Classic Jersey Santiago: walang pinipiling lugar para pag-usapan ang mga bagay-bagay. Sa graduation pa talaga ni Krishna. Right..

"Yeah," he shrugged a little. "Hindi ko na rin kasi maasikaso.. and may nag-offer sa'kin. They're planning to build a restaurant there. It's a nice spo–"

"Pero.. ba't mo pa sa'kin binigay yung pera? If nag-aalala ka sa'min ni Atom, I assure you kaya naming mamuhay sa Sing–"

"Leinz was yours, Je. The money's yours, too. Just.. don't fight me on this. Please."

Tumayo na si Kevin at naglakad papunta ng stage bago pa makapagsalita si Jersey. Four years na silang hiwalay pero hindi pa rin nagbabago ang ex-wife niya. And that's a good thing for him.
