"Vice, are you ready for the ceremony?"
Vice turned his head at nakita si Billy na binuksan na yung pinto ng kwarto nya for him. He checked his phone one last time bago nya ito binalik sa bulsa nya frustratedly.
"Hindi ba uso kahit reply man lang ngayon?" Vice said to himself.
"Ano yun, brad?"
"Wala... Sabi ko, tara. Game." Sagot ni Vice trying to sound more enthusiastic.
Billy punched him on the arm playfully, "What's up, brad?"
"Pagod lang." it was part true. The other part was because Karylle avoided him all night, so hindi nya nakuha yung chance na tanungin ito tungkol sa sinabi nito the night before.
Nung naglalakad sila papunta sa main hall for the rose ceremony, nakasalubong nila si Jam at Lyle sa hallway with their suitcases.
"After ng ceremony, dumiretso ka na sa limosine mo Vice, didiretso na tayong lahat sa airport." Sabi ni Lyle.
"Affirmative."
"So who's the unlucky girl?" tanong ni Jam with a smirk.
"Abangan mo na lang." sagot ni Vice bago naglakad na ulit kasabay si Billy.

"Since Karylle, Toni and Liz got the rose this week, safe na sila from the elimination tonight... So without furtherado, here's your bachelor."
Like from every other week, the girls face's lit up as soon Vice entered the room. Tumayo sya next to the table kung saan nakapatong yung mga roses and picked up one to start the ceremony.
"Hindi na ako magsasalita for long dahil alam kong we have another flight ahead of us. Gusto ko lang mag thank you for being so understanding sa naging sitwasyon ko last week. I'm very grateful for the support..."
Napa-aww at ngiti naman ang mga girls sa sinabi ni Vice.
"So, let's start? The first rose goes to..."
Napahinga naman ng malalim ang mga girls nung minention na ni Vice yung rose.
"Anne..." Anne smirked at lumapit kay Vice, "Will you accept this rose?"
Tumango si Vice at bumeso kay Anne, "Like I have a choice?" she said playfully.
"Play nice now." Bulong pabalik ni Vice bago nag pull away to move on with the ceremony.
"Angel..."
"Thank you, Vice."
"You're welcome, beautiful." He winked.
"Next rose is for... Solenn."
"Will you accept this rose, Georgina?"
Vice picked up the last rose and twirled it around while waiting for Billy to finish his "last rose of the night" spiel.
"Thank you brad." Sabi ni Vice at tinapik si Billy sa balikat before stepping forward with the last rose.
"Marian... Will you accept this rose?"
Every one who turned to Iza was just as shocked as her. Nung makabalik si Marian sa kinatatayuan nya. It was time for Iza to say her goodbyes sa mga girls at kay Vice.
"I'm sorry." sabi ni Iza kay Karylle bago nya ito niyakap ng mahigpit.
Karylle hugged her friend tighter, "I'm gonna miss you."
Iza pulled away and cupped Karylle's face, she noticed na naiiyak na ito kaya naman na-teary eyed na rin sya.
"I hope you win. You deserve to win." Sabi ni Iza at hinalikan sa pisngi si Karylle.
