ViceRylle: Pagbigyan Muli (Love On Top Book 2)

Singapore

After more than 3 hours, ay nakalapag na rin ang eroplano sa Singapore. Karylle had to wake up the kids dahil naging mahimbing ang mga tulog ng mga ito pagkatapos silang kumain ng marami kanina during the flight.

"I'm back... I hope they won't find me this time." she whispered to herself.

Lumingon siya sa mga anak niya at ginising na ang mga ito. They woke up right away dahil excited sila. They've never been there before kaya nag expect ang dalawa na mamasyal habang naroon pa sila. They though they only have a few hours to stroll around dahil sabi ng Mommy nila, stop over lamang ito.

When they got off the plane, Kiara was amazed once more to see the new environment. She took out her iPad right away and took pictures. Miguel was still busy listening to music while looking around. Napansin ni Karylle na mukhang malalim ang iniisip ng anak kaya she decided to talk to the both of them later.

Right after they got their bags, naghanap agad ng cab si Karylle. She called her friend Cheska right away to ask about her full address dahil nakalimutan na niya ito after years of not visiting the country. Her friend answered right away kaya mas mabilis silang nakarating doon. Cheska welcomed them with open arms at masaya naman si Karylle na pumayag itong tumira muna sila for a few days sa bahay niya since nasa Canada pa ang mister nito for a conference.

"Your kids really look like you and Vice. You both raised them well!" 

Napangiti na lang si Karylle at napayuko na lamang si Miguel dahil sa narinig. Si Kiara naman ay ngumingiti-ngiti na lamang sa mga papuring natatanggap mula sa kaibigan ng mommy nila. 

"..speaking of Vice. Why didn't he come with you guys?" tanong ni Cheska. 

Nawala naman ang ngiti sa mga labi ni Karylle habang nakafocus sa kanya ang mukha ng mga anak. 

"He'll be here soon. We're flying to Hong Kong right after our short vacation here." 

Kiara had the look of confusion on her face. Karylle stood up and decided to talk to her friend in a private part of the house leaving the kids at the living room.

-----------------

Cheska was surprised with what Karylle said. Sobrang disappointed siya sa nangyari kaibigan. She thought that Vice would be the perfect guy Karylle was wishing for during their Kitchen Musical days. Dinadalaw kasi minsan ni Vice si Karylle kapag free ito noong nasa getting-to-know each other stage pa lang sila. Vice couldn't take na hindi niya kasama si Karylle sa Showtime kaya dinalaw niya ito sa Singapore.

"I am so sorry Karylle.. I hope you both can still talk this over."

"I don't know Cheska. It's been so hard." she sighed.

There were a few seconds of silence before Cheska spoke up again.

"But you still love him. Right?"

It was another sunny day in Manila. Si Vice ay nasa kwarto naman niya at halatang busy sa laptop na binigay ni Karylle sa kanya on his birthday. Hindi pa siya masyadong marunong nito kaya he had to do the "Trial and Error" method. He was drinking coffee habang naghahanap ng mga pictures sa files niya. He was thankful na naupload ni Karylle ang mga ito dahil nga hindi pa rin siya marunong.
