"what? You and Vice dated???" hindi makapaniwala si Dr. M sa mga naririnig mula sa explanation ng anak. "no wonder parang inaatake siya sa puso when I mentioned your name"
"great, so alam niya na din na anak mo ko," Karylle said. "and ano ba to? Tadhana? Family doctor ka pala nila. What a small world."
Karylle rolled her eyes.
"I don't know anak. But don't change the topic." Sumeryoso si Dr. M. "why did you date him? You know that you're—"
"I know," putol ni Karylle. "but he was stalking me dad, he won't stop until I say yes."
"that's unfortunate." Sabi ni Dr. M "does Yael know?"
"no," K left a big sigh. "and I don't want him to know.. please don't tell him."
"you're making me a liar karylle." Dr. M smirked while wiggling his index finger. "tsk, tsk,tsk.. but I won't destroy your marriage."
"..at ayoko rin masira ang friendship namin ni pareng Reynaldo kaya hindi ko na ito ibbring up 'to sa kanya," Dr. M made a sip from his cup of coffee.
"for sure, sinabihan na rin siya ni Vice so it would be so awkward on Monday. Wag na lang tayo pumunta pls."
"No! we can't do that. Act professional on this one. You go talk to him and sort things out. It's important if you two have the proper closure."
"but dad..." Karylle interrupted, but Dr. M raised one of his eyebrows. "I don't want to see him again."
Dr. M held Karylle's hand assuringly. "Parang anak ko na rin si Vice. Just go talk to him..Tell him to leave you and Yael alone. Okay?"
"....okay," Karylle said with a doubt.

Umakyat kaagad si Yael sa opisina para kausapin ang boss niya na si Dingdong. Pagkatapos niya kumatok, may sumigaw ng "pasok!" mula sa loob kaya pumasok na rin siya.
"Good morning, boss." Bati ni Yael. Hindi pa man nakakatayo sa upuan ay hindi na maipinta ang mukha ni Dingdong nang makita siya.
"back from the grave I see," Dingdong said as he stood from his desk. "Buti naman at bumalik ka pa. Akala ko forever ka na sa Tagaytay eh."
Yael felt sorry and left out a sigh. "sorry, Dingdong. I'm really not okay today, so don't make it worse."
"Sorry din ha! Kasi okay ako the whole week. Sobrang relax ko nga kakaayos nitong kompanya eh." Sarkastikong tugon ni Dingdong.
"gagawan natin ng paraan, okay?" Yael said trying to calm the atmosphere.
"how? We only got, what? Few more days?" sabi ni Dingdong. "unless you find a damn good designer who will make one hell of a collection..."
napaupo si Dingdong pabalik sa desk with a look of frustration.
"why don't we try?" Yael dared.. "i mean, I will try to find one."
"you won't." dingdong snapped. "I've done it myself. I've tried all the possible designers in the country... Not even one made a difference."
