The President's Secret | Vicerylle

15. Betrayal

After her very awkward encounter with Vice and his family, Karylle made her way sa table kung nasaan ang kambal nya along with her friends. Their table wasn't actually far from where the Presidential family were seating, kaya naman kitang kita pa rin nila ang isa't isa.

She gave her twins a kiss on the head before sitting down in the space between them.

"Did you tell Papa what you want to eat already?"

"Yes mommy, I eating spaghetti." sabi ni Miya habang pinaglalaruan yung napkin nya.

"What about you baby?" tanong ni Karylle sa isa pang anak at hinawakan sa chin ito to get her attention na kasalukuyang nasa iphone ni Monty.

"Fwies." sagot ng bata at ngumiti kay Karylle bago ibalik ang tingin nito sa iphone.

"So, Karylle! Kamusta ka na?!" tanong ni Toni ng makabalik ito galing sa restroom.

"Tin, sorry about earlier." sabi ni Karylle na napatayo para lapitan si Toni at nakipag beso dito.

"Namiss kita, sobra!" sabi ni Toni na nakayakap pa rin ng mahigpit kay Karylle.

"Napaka-OA girl, nag kita lang tayo 3 months ago sa Seattle." sabi ni Karylle at bumitaw kay Toni para batiin din si Paul at ang anak nilang se Seve na halos anim na taon na.

"I misshhh you my chambilog!" sabi ni Karylle na gigil na niyakap yung batang lalaki.

"Mommyyyyy!" pag angal ni Miya ng makita yung ginawa ni Karylle sa inaanak nya.

"Hala, nag selos na naman yang anak mo." sabi ni Toni at tumawa.

Karylle made her way back to her seat and so did Toni and Paul. Dumating naman agad yung waiter kaya nag order na si Karylle ng makakain nya.

"So kamusta ka na nga?!" tanong ni Toni at binigyan ng meaningful smile si Karylle sabay pag glance ng mata nito sa table ng presidente.

"I'm good, Tin. Really good." sagot ni Karylle which sounded too good to be true really.

Monty placed his arm around Keira's chair, who was sat in between him and Karylle, his arm reached forward to touch Karylle's shoulder which made her turn to look at him.

"Sure?" he mouthed, since he understood what Toni was implying sa tanong nito.

Karylle tapped Monty's hand to assure him before she smiled, "You didn't have to do that." sabi naman ni Karylle sa kanya.

"Do what?" confused na tanong ni Monty.

"Pretend that we're still together. It's not fair on you, Monts." sabi ni Karylle na binigyan ng sad smile si Monty.

"I didn't want them to ask questions... I didn't want him to ask questions." sabi ni Monty at napatingin sa kambal, "Not yet anyway."

"May sarili na naman silang mundo, hon." sabi ni Toni sa asawa nya ng mapansin yung mahinang pag uusap nina Monty at Karylle.

Karylle was outside of the restaurant speaking to one of her clients on the phone. Her twins insisted to go with her kaya naman habang nakikipag usap sa sa phone ay pinapanood din nyang mag laro at habulan ang dalawa.

"Hey, Keira, be careful baby!" sigaw nito bigla, "Sorry Mr Gaza, say that again?"

"Mommy wook, wook!" Miya ran up to her mom and showed her the butterfly she caught in between her hands. Keira followed her twin sister to have a look too.

Karylle smiled at her twins bago sya lumuhod para tingnan yung pinapakita nito, "What's that baby?" pabulong na tanong ni Karylle.

"It's a pink butterpwy mommy." sabi ni Miya while still admiring the little bug in her hands.
