Lover's Quarrel

“Oh, let me guess.. you guys fought again?” sabi ni Anne sa kabilang linya. Karylle crossed her legs habang may hawak-hawak na tea sa kaniyang left hand.

“Yes Anne. It's his fault anyways. The nerve of that guy, hindi niya parin ako tinetext nor he isn't making any effort. Seriously?” Karylle said and took another sip sa kaniyang lemonade tea. Tumingala siya to see the beautiful sky, what a beatiful morning to consider. But things didn't turn out good as she expected. 

Anne chuckled, “Huy girl, napakinggan mo na ba ang side niya? I know Vice that well, may rason yang si bakla. Hear him out muna.” 

“Anne, are you hearing yourself out?! I saw him kissing the girl! Maybe some explanation would do, kaso wala e.”

“The real thing is, did Vice initiate it?” Karylle was about to sip her tea nang mapahinto siya. She didn't saw what had happened, siguro nga dapat niyang pakinggan ang side ni Vice. 

“See? Girl, nagjump into conclusions ka kasi agad diyan..” Anne said. 

“I don't know Anne.. maybe. But still, it's not considerate. Dapat tinawagan niya na ako if that's the case. No texts, no call, anything. What am I supposed to do with that?”

Anne shook her head sa kabilang linya, “Gotta go girl, wait for him nalang. I'm sure he has plans. Si Vice pa, e unkabogable yan. Bye girl!”

Karylle hung the phone and let out a sigh. “Am I that being selfish?” she asked herself. Flashbacks went back and saw the picture of Vice and a girl, that was torridly kissing. Hindi niya masyado naidentify yung babae dahil nga ay nakatalikod ito from the angle. But one thing was sure, they were kissing. 

And that's a big deal, she guess.

Karylle entered the lobby as if she was a Goddess. Inikot niya ang kaniyang mga mata and saw 5 people sitting on the couch. It was Vhong, Billy, Anne, Jugs, and Teddy. 

“Ang aga ko ba?” Karylle laughed at naupo katabi ni Billy. 

“Hindi naman K! Eh eto ngang si Anne akala mo may himala sa sobrang aga.” sabi ni Vhong na natatawa. 

“Oo nga Anne, bat ang aga mo?” tanong ni Teddy na may halong pang-aasar. 

Nakatanggap naman si Vhong ng mahinang suntok sa braso. “Grabe ka Vhong! Maaga kasi akong nagising kanina!”

Nahinto ang pagkukulitan ng host nang may pumasok sa lobby. It was Vice—the usual vice, wearing his Boy London sweat shirt, Androgyne pants, and Jeremy Scott shoes. 

“Kuys, lalaking lalaki ah!” sabi ni Billy at nakipagchest bump kay Vice, same with Vhong.

“Mga sira! Anong ganap ditech?” sabi ni Vice na natatawa, uupo sana siya sa tabi ni Karylle but Anne gave her a warning look. Agad niya itong na-gets.

He took a last glance kay Karylle na agad naging busy sa kaniyang phone, he felt his heart flinched a bit. 

“Sorry. I'll make it up to you, swear.” bulong niya sa kaniyang sarili.

It was past way 5:00PM nang nakauwi na si Karylle sa kaniyang bahay, she took a glance sa kaniyang wall-clock and realized she almost forgot something. She cursed under her breathe at agad umakyat upstairs para magpalit.

“Manong, paki-hatid lang po ako sa Child Haus.” she told the driver as she reached the car park sa likod ng kanilang bahay. Tumango lamang ang driver and started the machine.
