She quickly walked sa kabilang direksyon. Still trying to avoid him. Kahit gaano kabilis pa ang gawin niyang lakad naabutan padin siya nito.
He grabbed her arms. Dahan dahan naman siyang nilingon ni Karylle.
"Finally! We met again."
"Billy?" she was shocked nung nakita niya ito.
"Hi." ang tanging nasabi ni Karylle, she awkwardly waved her hand.
"Ano ka ba nahiya ka pa sakin. You can hug me if you like."
"Ha?" sabi ni Karylle.
"Just kidding!" He laughed.
Nanatili lang tahimik si Karylle. "Ngayon ko lang nalaman na nandito ka na pala sa Spain. Kailan pa?"
"Kanina lang." Karylle answered.
"Ahh so pwede pala kita i tour around Spain." billy nodded.
"Oh no! No! Wag na."
"I insist, Karylle."
"No wag na talaga Billy. Kahit nakapikit ako kabisado ko ang Spain." she held Billy's arm.
Napakunot ang noo ni Billy. Trying to understand what Karylle had said.
"6 years na kong nasa Spain. Umuwi lang kami ng Philippines because of my book launch." pag eexplain ni Karylle
"Woah. Book launch?" Billy was amazed of what Karylle had said.
Noon pa man Karylle used to love writing novels. It was 10 years ago when she met Billy sa isang library noong college pa siya. Since lagi siyang tambay sa library just like him, napansin nila ang isa't isa and became super close. That moment Karylle tought na si Billy ay si Ybarro. Kaya when Billy asked Karylle to be his girlfriend agad naman niya itong sinagot. Nalaman na lang niya na hindi ito ang kanyang dating kasintahan when Billy and her had an car accident. Billy almost died because of that incident. Marahil isang himala para sa mga doctor na Karylle survived the accident with few minor injuries. Karylle was so depressed that time. Lalo na't her boyfriend was in a state of coma. Gusto niyang sisihin ang sarili niya for loving this guy. Isang pagkakamali na nagmahal nanaman siya ng hindi niya ka uri.
After a month Billy had woke up from his coma. Pero ni anino ni Karylle hindi na niya nakita pa.
"Ayoko nang matulad ka pa kay Ybarro. Patawad Billy, hanggang sa muli."
ang tanging nasabi ni Karylle noong narinig niya ang pag iyak ni Billy mula sa hallway.
"Ah yes, next time na magkita tayo I'll give you a copy."
"That's great! Maybe you can give your book as a wedding gift this friday. Do you mind if I invite you?" Billy asked pulling a invitation card from his coat.
Natutuwa naman si Karylle to find out that his ex boyfriend is finally getting married. Hindi man naging happy ending ang relasyon nila, but she knew they are good friends.
"Sure! Bat ko naman hihindian."she said still looking at the invitation.
"Good to see you again Karylle." he offered a hug.
"Thank you Billy." Karylle said after she pulled away from the hug.
Inintay niyang makaalis ni Billy from the resto at tsaka naglakad ulit.
Hindi siya pwedeng magkamali. Hindi si Billy yung nakita niya kanina, ibang tao. Ibang pares ng mata ang natanaw niya. Di ba dapat thankful siya na si Billy ang nakasalubong niya at hindi si Vice? Pero bakit malungkot ang puso niya.
