Dedicated to Jessa my Viceral munhies. I love u all.

Flashback...

"Brad, hindi mo ba talaga ito sasabihin kay K? At saka wala ba kayong lakad ngayon?" tanong ni Vhong habang tinatanggal ang seatbelt. Vice faced him and shook his head slowly. His calm yet you can see in his eyes that he's worried.

"I don't want to involve her brad, this is my problem. She doesn't need to know." nagtanggal na rin ito ng seatbelt.

"Eh papano kung malaman niya?"napakamot ito sa ulo.

"Kung hindi mo sasabihin kay Anne, hindi malalaman ni Karylle." Tumango tango naman si Vhong.

"Sabagay!"

"Okay let's go!"

Present...

It's been 3 days after I read Kristine's message to Vice. What made me so furious was when I asked him about it, he was mad as to why I read the text, which is clearly not for me. Ako pa pala ang may kasalanan at ba't ako nakialam? Kung hindi ko nabasa yun, gagawin niya na lang pala akong tanga na hindi alam ang sekretong pagkikita nila. Pero kilala ko si Vice, alam kong hindi niya ako kayang saktan at paglihiman....but do I really know him that much? I know his past, yes. I know he loves me unconditionally, yes. But how would I know na ako lang ang nag-iisa sa buhay niya?

"Miss Tatlonghari, baka naman masunog na ang bini-bake natin niyan?" Anne scowled at me. I'm leaning against the refrigerator beside the oven, while Anne was reading the instruction book. Engrossed na engrossed ito sa binabasa kanina kaya na distract na naman ako ng kung anu-anong isipin at hindi ko na namalayang may bini-bake pala kaming chocolate cake. I know Vice sent her to give me some company, at least kahit papano ay may kasama naman ako. Lumuwas kasi sila mama sa Baguio para asikauhin ang bagong business nito na flower farm sa La Pressa at kasama niya naman si Lola. Kung hindi lang kami nag-away ni Vice, malamang nandun ako sa penthouse niya ngayon. But I still hate him. I was so jealous kahit na sabihin pa niyang dapat ko siyang pagkatiwalaan at intindihin. Trust? Understand? Kristine is an ex for Pete's sake! I gritted my teeth as I walked closer towards Anne's opposite direction.

"Ano ba talaga ang nangyari at ayaw nyong magsalita dalawa ni Prince? Tuwing tatanungin ko siya iniiwasan niya ako. At ikaw naman girl, puro buntong hininga ang sinasagot mo." nakapangalumbaba ito habang nakatitig sa akin na naimo'y naghihintay ng sagot sa isang exam. Ano nga bang isasagot ko? Does she even know about Kristine?

"Ask him, Anne. I don't know what is happening really." I stride towards the chair opposite to Anne. Kung kanina ay nakapangalumbaba ito, ngayon naman ay nakatukod na ang chin nito sa kanyang braso na ipinatong sa mesa.

"Magagalit ka lang ba at hindi kakausapin ang kapatid ko ng tatlong araw, dahilan para papauntahin ako dito , kung hindi mo alam ang nangyari?"

"He sent the Queen of inquisitiveness to ask me questions huh." I can't help the sarcasm on my voice but she didn't move even a flinch, she batted her eyelashes instead.

"Hay naku Anning." I let out a small chuckle.

"Hay naku K paglihiman ba naman ako?" she pouted her lips, bumilog naman ito ng husto.

"Bagay talaga sa'yo ang duck face girl."

"O wag mo na ibahin ang usapan, deretchahuhin mo na....deretchahin..-" she lauhged

"O nabubolol ka na naman." I giggled.

"Jeez ang hirap magtagalog ng straight minsan." nilabas niya ang dila at kinagat-kagat ito ng mahina na dahilan para magtawanan kami.
