Paramour - ViceRylle

Chapter 34 - The Breakup

After the concert

"Go with Anne.. I really want to drive you home but-"

Karylle touched Vice's lips to avoid him from talking further. "It's ok.. Mag ingat kayo on your way home."

"you too." inalis ni Vice ang daliri ni Karylle at bigla itong hinalikan sa labi.

Karylle was shook. "Don't do that! Not unless you have my permission."

"Why? You're mine so I can do anything."

"Ha? Anong sabi mo? Last time I checked, you said I am not yours. When was that again? In the hospital?" Karylle said.

Napapikit si Vice dahil sinabi niya nga yun. "ay basta... soon I'll make you mine. And we will go to places.. Just you and me."

"uy uy uy! Mamaya na 'yan. Kanina pa naghihintay si Sebastian dito." Hirit ni Vhong.

"Goodbye and goodnight." Pagpapaalam ni Vice kay Karylle at tsaka pumunta na kela Vhong.

"Bye K!" sabi ni Billy.

"Drive safely Anne ha." Vhong said to his sister.

"Yea I will."

Kumaway si Karylle sa tatlo bago sila pumasok sa sasakyan. After they entered the car, pumasok na rin sila sa sasakyan ni Anne.

They arrived safely at Karylle's house. Karylle checked the time and it's already 1:30 am. Lumagpas siya sa curfew niya.

"Bye sis!"

"Bye! Thanks again."

Humarurot na ang sasakyan ni Anne kaya naman pinagbuksan ni Terrence ng gate si Karylle. Nang makapasok sa bahay, walang ilaw kaya dahan dahan siyang lumakad para hindi mahalata ni Yael na nakarating na siya. Dumiretso siya sa kwarto nila at nakita niyang gising pa si Yael. Nagbabasa ito ng game of thrones habang nakabukas ang lamp shade sa side ng bed.

"You're late." Plain nitong sabi habang nagbabasa pa rin ng libro.

Karylle gently closed the door and tried to explain. "Sorry. We kinda had a midnight snack before going home."

"how was it?"

"It was good..Really good. Probably the best night of my life." Karylle said in delight. Yael looked at her and she thought he'll scold her but instead, he smiled.

"I'm glad you enjoyed."

"eh ikaw? Bakit ka pa gising?"

"hinihintay ka syempre. You must be tired. Rest na tayo."

"yeah, shower lang ako." Sabi ni Karylle at dumiretso sa banyo.

After shower, napansin ni Karylle na hindi na nagbabasa ng libro si yael. Nakabalot na ito ng blanket pero nakabukas pa rin ang lampshade. Tumabi siya rito at laking gulat niya nang bigla na lang siyang yakapin ni Yael.

"I'm really sorry for what happened earlier today." He said, with his eyes still closed.

Karylle touched Yael's hand na nakapatong sa tummy niya and his head na naka rest din sa shoulder niya. "Okay lang yun.. I still got to attend the concert. Yun ang importante."

"I feel so bad at being so hard on you." Yael said. "Sorry talaga. Next time hindi na kita pagbabawalan."

Karylle fell silent. Hindi niya alam ang sasabihin.

"I love you loves. Do you still love me?" yael said in a small voice.

Napalunok si Karylle. "Of course.. I still love you."
