 Geberal POV: 

                        "Billy Joe Tatlonghari, 33 years old-" Vhong stared at Vice for a brief second then goes back on the paper that he is holding on his left hand. Vice sat at the singled chair in front of his mini bar while looking impatiently at Vhong.

"Civil Engineer, 'Married', may isang anak...brad seryoso???" Napakamot ulo si Vhong habang naglalakad sa katabing silya ni Vice. 

"Siya yung kapatid ni Karylle?" -Vice

"Tatlonghari nga brad di'ba?" Vhong said as he sat on a vacant chair, you can hear sarcasm on his voice.  "Hoooh sa lahat naman ng maari mong pagselosan sa kapatid pa." Pabagsak na inilapag ni Vhong ang mga papers sa mesa. Ipinabackground check kasi ni Vice si Billy simula nung makita niya itong kasama ni Karylle 3 weeks ago. When he saw her that day, she seemed happy so he wanted to know why she moved on that easy.

"Navarro, I am not...uulitin ko, NOT jealous. I am CURIOUS. See the difference?" Tinapik niya ng dalawang beses ang likod  ni Vhong saka pinaglaro ang hawak na baso na may lamang alak. 

"You can fool me but you cannot fool your self." Vice snap at Vhong and he gave him a deadly stare. 

"I don't know how to be jealous?" He firmly said.

"Obvious ka kayang mag selos."  Vhong insisted

"O sige pagbibigyan kita. Kung nagsiselos nga ako, wala naman akong magagawa na." Nagulat si Vhong at napadilat ang mata.

 "Wow brad, big word! Congrats ha umamin ka na." Vhong smiled a victorious smile and pour a plentiful amount of brandy into Vice's glass. Vice remained silent as he is trying to rewind on his memory  what he just said. Did he just admit that?

"May magagawa ka pa Vice. Puntahan mo si Karylle, kausapin mo siya.  Tell her everyhting."- Vhong

"What if she will turn her back on me for the second time?"-Vice

"At least you tried." -Vhong

"Tss! Why am I even listening to you?" Vice shove the cool liquid into his throat.

 "Because you want to consider the idea of having a future with her." Vhong answered, Vice look at him.

"Ang dami mong alam." Vice stood up and grab his suitcase.

"Where are you going?" Vhong turned around to face him. 

"To my future." His eyes sparkled, a small smile formed on his face that he is trying so damn hard to conceal.

 Karylle's POV

        Lying flat on my bed while staring blankly at the ceiling. I am inside my room, feeling excited about the artist's tour which will be held in London next week after my birthday. Every one of us will have the chance to showcase our masterpiece, we will  have extreme seminars and one more thing that made my whole being excited is seeing my cousin Iza. I miss that woman, siya lang kasi sa pamilya ang super close ko at nakakausap ko ng mga kabaliwang bagay, parang si Anne lang. I also miss her, and Vice...I miss Vice :( I reach for my pillow and hug it tight. Now what? What else would I do today aside from missing a lot of people? Then my phone vibrated so I reach for it and saw a text from Christian. Ninang ni Christian sa binyag ang mama at close din ako sa kanya noong mga bata pa kami, pero stop muna sa pagri-remeniesce at kailangan kong basahin ang message niya.
