Natutuwang pinagmamasdan ni Yael si Karylle habang kinakain nito ang kwek-kwek na binili niya. She already ate 4 pieces of kwek-kwek at tila wala talaga siyang balak huminto sa paglapang to the point na parang nakalimutan na nito ang sadya kay Yael.

"Karylle, do you have problem? Hindi ka naman ganyan katakaw sa street-foods," nakangiting sabi ni Yael which stopped Karylle from finishing her food.

"Huh? Ay sorry. I just can't help it." she said as she let out a soft giggle. "Sobrang sarap din naman kasi nito. There's still one food that I want to eat pero hindi ko alam kung anong tawag dun e"

"Anong food?"

"Chicken-intestine! Yung iniihaw. I don't know kung anong tawag don and sobrang bihira lang ako makakita ng ganon." sabi nito na medyo nag-turn into sad face. "I really want that one. Saan kaya ako makakahanap ng ganun?"

Yael's brows got more furrowed. Sobrang naninibago siya sa Karylle na kaharap niya ngayon. He knows Karylle as a woman who always gets conscious when it comes to her figure.

"May hindi ka ba sinasabi sa 'kin?" nanliliit matang tanong ni Yael as he was looking directly at her. Kabado namang napatawa si Karylle while trying to avoid his gaze. "Ana Karylle, kilala kita. May hindi ka sinasabi sa 'kin."

"Why are you guys always saying na may hindi ako sinasabi sa inyo? Am I really that easy to read?" nakapout na tanong nito. Napa-roll eyes lang naman si Yael sa kaniya.

"We're friends for three years and I got time to know you more when you gave me chance to court you, kaya basang-basa ko na yang mukha mo."

"Well, I honestly went here dahil alam kong ikaw lang din naman ang mapagsasabihan ko nito," Yael waited for a few seconds. "I'm sorry. I was just looking for someone to lean on,"

"I can be that someone, Karylle. Tell me,"

Nang hindi magsalita si Karylle, Yael kneeled down in front of her and held her hands as his way of showing her na handa siyang makinig sa problema nito. Karylle sighed deeply bago magsimulang ikwento sa kaibigan ang kinikimkim. Maski si Yael ay nagulat din sa narinig but he just chose to keep quiet at intindihin ang sinasabi ng kaibigan.

"I don't want to disappoint, Vice. If I could just keep this for lifetime, gagawin ko eh but I know it's too impossible to make," Karylle said while playing her fingers.

"Yeah, yeah! Sobrang imposible naman talaga na magagawa mong itago yan." medyo nangungunsimi namang tumayo si Yael at napahilamos ng mukha. "Kung bakit naman kasi... hay nako Vice!"

"Tignan mo nga, pati ikaw nadisappoint 'ko,"

"I'm not disappointed. Sobrang nagwworry lang ako sa 'yo. You've been through a lot. Na-coma ka nga ng tatlong taon eh," nakaramdam naman ng guilt si Karylle dahil sa narinig. "I just don't want you to get hurt again."

"I'm sorry, I promise na mas magiging maingat ako."

"Anong balak mo ngayon? You really have to tell Vice na--

"I don't know. Hindi ko alam kung dapat ko pa bang sabihin 'to,"

After ng Showtime, isinama ni Anne ang inaanak na si Klang sa dressing room nito para makapag-bond since medyo matagal tagal silang hindi magkikita dahil sa aalis ito pa-Japan.

Si Vice naman ay mas pinili nalang na makihalubilo kila Vhong at Billy. Apat na oras na ang nakakalipas simula nung umalis sila ng bahay but until now, wala parin siyang natatanggal na kahit single message from Karylle.

"Nakasimangot ka nanamam?" Billy uttered sabay hagis ng throw pillow kay Vice. Nag-sigh lang naman si Vice bago itago ang cellphone sa bulsa.

"Hindi ko kasi maintindihan si Karylle. Nung nakaraan, buo na daw yung desisyon niya na babalik na siya ng Showtime tapos bigla nanamang nagbago yung isip. Hindi pa daw ito yung tamang oras para bumalik," pagpapaliwanag nito.
