Makalipas ang ilang minuto, nakarating na rin sa rooftop ng ospital si Yael at Vice. Nakita man ng huli ang tingin ng mga tao, pati na rin ang kanilang bulungan, di na muna niya ininda ito. Kahit gusto man niyang sabihan ang mga tsismosang tao na magtrabaho na lamang, at i-sarili na lamang ang nakita, sigurado naman siyang di rin niya mako-control iyon.

"So, what do you want to talk about?" tanong ni Yael kay Vice na nakapagpabaik sa ulirat niya.

"Straight to the point," sabi ni Vice at tumingin kay Yael.

"Yeah, at least one of us," sabi na lamang ni Yael na medyo ikinangiti naman ni Vice.

"I didn't mean it like that," sabi ni Yael ng maintindihan kung bakit napangiti si Vice.

"I know, and either way, tama ka naman. Ikaw lang naman nga ang straight sating dalawa," palokong sabi ni Vice.

"Look, you asked to talk to me. Can we just get on with it?" pagod na tanong na lamang ni Yael.

"K's fine. The doctor said na masyado lang stressed si K, and she was dehydrated kaya siya nahimatay, but as I said, she'll be fine," sabi na lang ni Vice.

"That's good, that she's fine, I mean," sabi ni Yael.

"I saw you earlier, with her, by the way," dugtong ni Yael.

"Ha? Saan?" takang tanong naman ni Vice.

"At the studio. I saw you running with her in your arms," sagot ni Yael na medyo kinailang naman ni Vice.

"Pasensya na ha, nag-panic lang kasi talaga ako kaya nabuhat ko siya ng ganun," paliwanag naman ni Vice.

"Why are you saying sorry?" tanong na lang ni Yael.

"Because she's your wife. At alam ko magiging issue yun, lalo na rin yung nangyari pa kanina. So dapat ako ang mag-sorry. I wasn't aware na andun si Tita sa may labas lang ng pinto," paghingi ng tawad ni Vice.

"Lalabas at lalabas rin naman yun, kaya mas okay na rin siguro na ngayon pa lang alam na ni Mama," malungkot na sabi ni Yael.

"Maybe you can visit her pagkaalis ni Tita," sabi ni Vice.

"I don't think that's going to be possible anymore," sabi na lamang ni Yael.

"Look, of course she's going to be upset with you after hearing what happened between you and her daughter but she'll forgive you, for sure," pampalubag loob na lang ni Vice.

"Let's not kid around anymore. She won't ever forgive me, they both won't," malungkot na sabi ni Yael.

"Sige, I'll be honest, Tita will probably have a really hard time forgiving you, but K won't. Alam naman natin kung gaano kabait yung babaeng yun. She will forgive you as well, trust me on that," sabi ni Vice.

"The first time I saw K, it was during a concert, and I was supposed to be focused on the stage but instead, I was solely focused on her. She was intently singing along to the song and just enjoying herself so much. Then out of nowhere, I just said to myself 'wow, she's so simple and yet she's so exceptional'. That concert was the start of everything," sabi ni Yael.

Napatingin naman si Vice sa katabi dahil sa biglang pag-iba at pagkaka-random ng sinabi nito.

"When we were going out, I was aware that she wasn't still fully healed from her previous relationship, but I still pursued her. I was so adamant on making her forget him, or at least the pain. I felt like I needed to fix her but you know what, she made me stop on fixing her," nakangiting sabi ni Yael.
