Vice retrieved Karylle's luggage from inside the van and was walking along a stone pathway leading to their cottage when he heard a voice calling his name.
Erna : Vice! psssst.... Here....come here....
Vice : Aren't you supposed to have your beauty sleep by now? You need it. Ikaw yung bride baka magkaroon ka na niyan ng eyebags and dark circles. Sige ka.
Erna : I know. Iknow.
Vice : Ganern. Excited much? Hehehe...
Erna : Eh...I can't sleep...siguro ganun na nga. I need some fresh air kaya ito namamasyal hatinggabi. Anyway...just curious...that lady friend of yours. Is she really your girlfriend? Ano nangyari? She looks familiar, though.
Vice : Ah, ganern. Sumasagip ka lang yata ng chismis eh hindi yung fresh air na sinasabi mo. Erna, this is way too early in the morning to gossip about other people.
Erna : Kaya nga I wanted to talk to you kasi I don't want to hear it from other people. Iba na yung it's coming from you ba yung totoo. Yung gossip kapag wala yung taong pinag-uusapan ninyo. So the topic of conversation is either false or half truths lang, di ba? I want to know the real score between you and that lady. Sa pagkaka-alam ko wala kang naging girlfriend. Instant girlfriend? Ganern.
Vice : Haaiiist! May rationale ka pang nalalaman diyan. Glorified chismis pa rin yan. Huwag na wag mo mabalita ito sa lifestyle magazine ninyo ha. Lagot ka sa akin. Huwag mo pairalin yang pagiging writer mo Erna. Sinasabi ko sa iyo. Okay, well... She is just a friend. But she's someone I know from the past. Someone special to me.
Erna : Ah ganun ba. Okay...friend pero someone special ganern. Anyway, she looks so beautiful kahit hindi naka-ayos. She looks familiar though. Parang nakita ko na siya before. (Vice gave her the look) I know...I know. I will keep this as a secret. Pero ehermmmm...paano ba yan she's in your room tonight. (she gave Vice a wicked wink) Kaya pala ibang iba ka na Vice. Hey, wag mo mamasamain ha? Pero I noticed di ka na bakla. Noong elementary tayo baklitang baklita ka talaga. Pero ngayon lalaking lalaki ka na sa paningin ko. Siguro, kung di lang ako ikakasal mamaya...ikaw iseseduce ko. Harharhar.
Vice : Ganun. Eh paano ba yan me nagmamay-ari na sa puso ko. Eh ayon naghihintay siya. Baka tumirik na yung mata niya sa kakahintay eh. Alis na nga ako.
Erna : Wait ...Vice. Isama mo siya mamaya. May extra seat naman ako for my wedding. Pwede mo siya isama as your partner.
Vice : (natigilan at nag-isip) Eh kaso wala siya dalang damit eh. Besides, baka ayaw niya or may ibang plans siya. She's only going to stay here overnight lang.
Erna : Naks naman. Problema ba yun. I have a lot of clothes with me and yung sister ko meron din. Parang magkasing tangkad lang sila ng sister ko. Pwede ko siya pahiramin ng damit. Basta ah, isama mo siya sa umaga. Ipapahatid ko mamaya sa cottage ninyo yung damit and shoes. O sige alis na ako. Baka mapansin ni Anton na wala ako sa room namin. Mamaya niyan di pa matutuloy kasal namin. You have to take responsibility Vice ha pag ganun mangyari. (Erna batted her eyelashes and smiled).
Vice : Sira ulo talaga itong babaeng ito. Ikakasal na nga eh nakikipag-landian pa sa iba. Hoy, balik ka na nga doon sa cottage mo. Hanap ka na ni Anton niyan.
========================================================
Vice knocked on the door but there was no response. Then he heard Karylle shrieked inside the room. Dali-daling binuksan ni Vice yung door using his spare key and went inside the room. Nasa bathroom si Karylle. Vice knocked but again, no response. He heard Karylle shrieked again. He turned the knob and realized that it was not locked at all. He opened the bathroom door and saw Karylle still wearing her clothes and was already soaking wet trying to turn the shower off.
