DX: 23

"Dad, I have something to tell you."

"Ano yun?"

"I saw her."

Natigilan si Vice nang marealize kung sino ang nakita ng anak.

"Hayaan mo nalang siya. Mukhang masaya na sya eh." walang emosyong sabi nito.

"VICEEEEE!" sigaw ni Maja.

"Ano tara na?" aya pa nito.

"Wait, where are you guys going?"

"Sa bar. You can't go with us, Trev." sagot ni Maja

"I know." kibit-balikat na sabi nito bago pumasok sa kwarto niya.

Trevor

Gusto ko si ate Maja para kay Daddy, pero bakit ganun? A part of me still thinks na mas karapat-dapat si ate K. This thing is bothering me ever since I saw her here in Las Vegas.

One last mission, Trev. It doesn't matter kung tagumpay o hindi. At least you tried. At least, matatahimik ka. Bulong ng konsensya ko-- and I think that was more than enough to push through with this.

I grabbed my phone and called Tita Georgina.

"What is it?"

"You better help me with this kung fan ka parin ng ViceRylle."

"What? I don't understand."

"Just come to my crib, I'll tell you everything."

Ain't nobody hurt you like I hurt you,
And ain't nobody loved you like I do
Promise that I will not take it personal, baby
If you're moving on with someone new

"Vice, I didn't know that she works here." pag-eexplain ni Maja nang makita nila kung sino ang kasalukuyang kumakanta sa entablado ng restobar.

"It's fine. Drinks on me ha? Babawi ako sayo." prenteng sagot ni Vice na tila wala nang bahid ng pagka-bitter.

"Ang galing nya pala kumanta?" Maja asked.

"Oo yan pa. Dati nga nagjajamming pa kami nyan eh."

"Okay. Shut up nalang ako. Ayoko na ungkatin yung past mo."

"Maj, it's fine. I'm already done with her. There's nothing to worry about our past."

"Sure ka?"

"Oo."

"Sige nga, duet kayo dun."

"Game! Akala mo ah!" sabi ni Vice sabay itinaas ang kanyang kamay dahilan para mapansin siya ni Karylle na kasalukuyang naghahanap ng makakaduet.

"I volunteer!"

Natigilan naman ang isa and it took seconds para ma-realize nyang kailangan niya palang i-entertain ang guest. Ang ex niyang guest.

"Oh! We have here our volunteer! Uhm--hi?" Karylle offered her hand and Vice took it.

"Hi everyone!"

"Yes! Uhm--- so what- song should we sing?"

"Happier by Ed Sheeran." he said with his familiar smirk.

"Oh---kay."

She has been stuttering the whole time she talked with him. This was their first encounter as exes and since Karylle is on-duty, she has to act professionally though tears start to form on her eyes.

Their voices blended perfectly. Vice is singing so well like he could look into her eyes and Karylle? Ayun, nakatulala lang sa sahig habang kumakanta.

Naiilang parin ang gaga. He thought

Cause baby, you look happier, you do.
My friends told me one day I'd feel it to

I could try to smile to hide the truth.
But I know I was happier with you.

She couldn't take it anymore. After singing the chorus, her tears suddenly fell on her cheeks hindi naman iyon nakalampas sa paningin ni Vice.

He grabbed her arm to look at her face but she looked away.

"Uhm... I'm so sorry guys, I just got very emotional with the song, I hope everyone liked it." she apologized before heading to the backstage to take a break.

Bumalik na sya sa table nila ni Maja na kasalukuyang di maipinta ang mukha dahil sa ginawang pagkanta ni Vice kanina.

"What was that?"

"I told you, I've moved on." Nakangising sagot pa nito.

"Ang bad mo naman pala, Viceral. Tsk!"

Tumawa nalang si Vice and took another shot.

Matapos ang gig ay nagpasya nang umuwi ni Karylle.

Habang naglalakad papunta sa kanyang sasakyan ay may humatak sa kanyang braso.

"Huy--"

"Hi. I'm Maja, kasama ako ni Vice."

"Uh--hello, Maja." she awkwardly said.

"You're Vice's ex right?"

"Yes. Uhm, Maja, t'was nice meeting you but I really have to go. Bye!" paalam nito na dali-daling sumakay sa sasakyan nya.

"Di pa naka-move on si ate gurl." umiiling na sambit nito bago balikan si Vice.

"Trev? Anuna?" Georgina asks the young guy whose walking back and forth.

"Wait lang kasi, I'm thinking of ways you know?" He replied sarcastically.

"What if failed? What if wala na talaga?"

"Edi wala na. I can't do anything with that."

"Eh you cant do anything naman pala eh, edi wag na natin tuloy to."  Sabi niya na akmang kukuhain na ang bag at aalis na.

"Ayaw mo ba kong tulungan?" the dissapointed Trev said.

"Well, I want to pero I dont want to screw things with my bro. You know how much he doesn't like anyone dictating him or planning on him right?" she explained.

"Yeah. But on the brighter side, what if nga na pwede pa, na meron pa? Last na 'to Tita, if this wont work then I give up."

"May plano ka na?"

He nodded.
