MARAHUYO

Psalm 35:5
Weeping may tarry for the night but joy comes with the morning.

Note: I humbly ask you to please read this whole chapter (most especially the first half) VERY THOROUGHLY for this chapter contains the answers to the most asked questions about the story. This is one of the most important chapters. Thank you!

She knows Unique has been dying to ask her what was up with her and Kenneth last night. She is also fully aware that Unique had also been hoping for their reconciliation. She didn't want to keep his hopes high.

He was standing outside his door fixing his necktie when she went out of her room.

She walked up to him and quietly helped him with his tie, "Anak."

"Po?" he mumbled and looked at him.

"I hope your dad and I didn't give you false hope last night," she replied.

"Po? Last night?"

She nodded and looked at him, "Yeah, last night. No'ng pauwi na tayo."

He was stopped. His eyes blinked several times before speaking up, "So, it was all true? I mean, I wasn't dreaming last night? Talaga ba, ma? Magkakasama talaga tayo kagabi?"

She chuckled and pinched his nose, "Kaya pala hindi ka matinong kausap kagabi because you thought you were dreaming."

"Ma, we were together last night? Like the three of us?"

She giggled again, "Oo nga, ano ba, Koi?"

"Paano nangyari 'yon? Ma, how?" he asked, curiosity and hope evident on his eyes, "Okay na kayo ni Daddy?"

She smiled as she finished fixing his tie, "He talked to me last night and asked for a chance."

His eyes glittered upon hearing her answer, "A chance?"

"A chance to make it up to you."

He smiled, "Really? And what about you?"

She just smiled at him and tiptoed to kiss his forehead, "Just to you, anak."

"Sino itong singer-actress na kasama ang ex niya kagabi? At sabay-sabay silang umuwi gamit ang kotse ni boy?" Vice exclaimed as soon as Lea entered her dressing room to visit.

Dawn and Lani were already there, sitting beside each other.

Vice was sitting in front of the mirror, looking at her through it, "Ang balita pa, nag-uusap sila kagabi habang nagpapatugtog ng isang magandang kanta ang bandang pasikat na ngayon? Sinetch itech na parang pwede nang makipagb-"

"Ako," Lea cut Vice in the middle of his sentence, "Dami mo pang sinasabi! 'Di mo na lang sabihin na ako."

The three laughed at her. Dawn shook her head, "May point."

"Ito kasing si Vice, daming arte."

Lea placed her bag beside her as she occupied the seat adjacent to Dawn and Lani, "Gaganyan pa. Tayo-tayo na lang dito, maglolokohan pa ba tayo?"

Lani snapped her fingers, "Osiya, kwento."

"He asked me if I could give him a chance to make it up to me and Unique," she trailed off, ready to spill the beans.

The three were intently listening to her. Vice was busy doing his own make-up. He made sure that no one is with them today. He told his make-up artists and stylists to go outside first for he and his friends would have to talk alone.
