Vice x Karylle : One Shots

Angel

Seeing you inside this lonely, little, tiny, hopeless room is way harder than you thought; it’s harder than you thought.

“Vice, you know I love you. You know how much I love you. You know that I can give up my whole life for you, at gagawin ko ang lahat para sa’yo. But this relationship is not working out already. Hindi pwedeng mahal mo ko at mahal kita, hindi sapat na mahal lang natin ang isa’t isa. Kailangan ko ng igive-up ung relasyon natin today, para hindi tayo masaktan in the future. Ayokong pagdating ng araw, puro sumbatan at bitterness ang magrereign sa’ting dalawa. Tatandaan mo laging mahal kita, at hindi ko na ata alam kung may papantay pang iba sa pagmamahal ko sa’yo. I love you so much Vice, but I need to say goodbye.” Tinalikuran nya ko at naglakad sya papalayo. Hinabol ko sya, tumakbo ako papunta sa direksyon nya.

“Kurba!” I called out for her name. Tumatawid sya and in just a matter of seconds, a car rushing to her direction hit her.

“KURBAA!” I called again and run onto her. Inovertakan lang sya nung nakabangga sa kanya. I don’t have time to get mad, I carried K to my car and rushed her to the nearest hospital.

-

“Doc, doc do everything to save her.” I said while my tears are flowing from my eyes to my cheeks.

“I will, don’t worry.”

Tinawagan ko na si Tita Zsazsa pati narin si Nanay. Hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko pag nawala si K, I love her that much that she means the whole world to me. Siya ang buhay ko, and Lord, please, don’t get her.

Bringing you your favorite flowers, purple daisy hope you bloom. Your mama’s tears on my shoulder make my insides even tighter.

It’s day 2 in the hospital and still, Kurba is in comatose. Wala pa kong tulog, at wala akong balak matulog. Gusto ko sa unang pagmulat ng mga mata ni K, ako ang makikita niya.

“Tita, may bibilhin lang po ako.” Dumeretso ako sa flower shop na paborito mo, hinanap ko ung bouquet of flowers na lagi mong pinapabili sakin. Pagkabili ko, dumeretso ulit ako sa room mo.

“Kurba, dinalhan kita ng paborito mong bulaklak o. Gising ka na jan,” and tears started falling in my eyes. “Gising ka na jan, may Showtime pa tayo. Miss na miss ka na nila Billy at Vhong, pati si Ngangabu ang dami ng ikekwento sayo. Ako, sobrang miss na kita. Miss na miss na kita Kurba, yung luto mo, yung mga waley mong jokes, *hikbi* yung lahat tungkol sayo. Miss na miss na miss na kita Kurba, gumising ka na. *hikbi*” hindi ko mapigilan ang luha ko. Lumabas ako ng kwarto nya at naupo kasama sina Tita Zsazsa sa waiting area.

“Vice,” tawag sakin ni Tita Zsazsa. Tumabi ako sa kanya at niyakap nya ko. Naririnig ko ang mga hikbi nya, and it’s killing me.

“Alam ko po nagtataka pa rin kayo hanggang ngayon kung bakit nandito si K.Tita, she wanted to broke up with me. She told me she loves me, but she needs to say goodbye because hindi niya gusto na in the future na puro sumbat na lang ang sasabihin naming sa isa’t isa. And she left me, sinundan ko sya, *hikbi* s-sinundan kop o sya tapos *hikbi* ma-may biglang na-nagmamad-daling ko-kotse. And t-the nex-t thi-thing I kn-knew, she’s lying on t-the gr-ground, blo-blooded.*hikbi*” Umiyak rin si Tita Zsazsa, then she rubbed my back.

“I know you love my daughter so much, and alam kong hinding-hindi mo siya pababayaan. I should even thank you, because you didn’t left my daughter there. You still helped her even though she already broke up with you. Trust me Vice, mas lalaki ka pa sa mga lalaki. To consider, you were a gay back then. And yes, I am proud that my Karylle found you. She’d always tell me na mahal na mahal ka niya, and now I know why she really loved you that much. I wanna say sorry Vice, kasi nung una hindi ako naniwala sa inyo ni K. But you proved me wrong. Minahal mo talaga sya, and I must say, proud na proud ako sa inyo ni K. If she heard our conversation now, I know that she’d be so proud of you.” Kahit papano ay napangiti ako ng sinabi ni Tita Zsazsa. Ayan ha, Karylle. Proud na sakin Mama mo, gising ka na. May Showtime pa tayo bukas, lagot ka kay Direk sige ka.
