Well you only need the light when it's burning low only miss the sun when it starts to snow. Only know you love him when you let him go. 

"Masaya ka ha. May nagpapasaya no." biro ni Billy sakanya on air. Tumingin naman kay BIlly si Vice wearing that familiar smile na parang kinikilig na ewan. She leaned back habang nilakasan ang volume ng tv sa place na nirerent nila sa London for their honeymoon. 

"Brad. I proud of you." sabi naman ni Vhong sakanya. "Tumigil na nga kayo." saway ni Vice pero lalong nagtawanan at nagbulungan ang dalawa na parang may pinaplano pa kay Vice. "Is she watching?" tanong pa ni Billy. 

"She?!" sigaw ni Vice kaya nagtilian ang madlang people. May sinabi naman si Vice kay Billy at pinandilatan ng mata. "Nanonood ba?" singit ni Vhong sabay awat sa dalawa dahil ang gulo gulo nila. Instead na sumagot sa tanong ni Billy o ni Vhong, humarap si Vice sa camera ngumiti sweetly. 

"Hi..." sabay kaway ng kinikilig. Napakunot naman ang noo ni Karylle and umayos ng higa sa kama. Ni hindi na nga niya napakinggan ang sagot ng Pogay o yung comment ni Vhong kakaisip kung sino kaya yung binati ni Vice. Pinatay nalang niya ang TV and buried her face sa pillow as if tintry niya na isuffocate ang sarili niya. 

She shouldn't be feeling this way. Not now. Not a week after her wedding. Not on her honeymoon. Hindi naman siya nagsisisi na pinakasalan niya si Yael pero hindi niya alam kung bakit sa tuwing nakikita niya si Vice, may mali. May mali pa din. 

"Hey baby." rinig niya. "Is everything okay?" Ngumiti nalang siya kahit na it looked so fake. "Are you done taking a shower? Ako na?" she asked not answering his questions. "Yes. Ikaw na. Take a quick shower kasi maaga pa tayo bukas." She lazily got up from bed and pumunta sa banyo, still thinking ang panunukso ni Billy at ni Vhong kay Vice. Bakit mo ginagawa sakin 'to, Vice......

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low, only hate the road when you’re missin' home. 

"Anong problema?" Yael asked as they were walking papunta sa arrival area ng NAIA kung saan nila imemeet 'yung driver ni Yael. 

"Ha? Wala, wala." She said and smiled. "Akala ko may problema, bigla ka kasi huminto sa paglalakad." sabi nito and held her hand while his other hand was pushing their cart.

A few minutes later, they reached the car and Karylle reached for her phone and checked her phone. Nakita naman niya ang texts ng random people checking kung nakauwi na sila ni Yael. She don't know why but she felt disappointed ng hindi man lang siya naisipang itext ni...

"Babe, I'll be leaving first thing in the morning tomorrow." Yael said. Nagkatinginan naman sila and Karylle tried her best na magfocus sa sinasabi ng asawa niya. Yes, ang asawa niya.. she reminded herself.

"I know, Babe. Baguio gig." sabi niya kay Yael and assured him with a smile. "I am going back na din sa Showtime tomorrow."

"Don't you want to rest muna?" he asked. Umiling na lang si K. "I miss them...silang lahat." then she looked outside the car's window and sighed.

Only know you love him when you let him go and you let him go.

"Hi." bati niya

"H-hi...Hi Vice." she greeted back. Nawalan siya ng sasabihin. When Yael left this morning, hindi na siya nakatulog worrying kung anong gagawin niya kapag nagkita sila. Magiging awkward kaya? She realized na kinakabahan siya and she does not know if she should hug him, shake his hand... lalagpasan nalang niya kaya?

"Karylle!" someone called. My savior, she thought. It was Vhong. Tumakbo naman si Vhong papunta sa kaibigan and hugged her. "Missed you, Vhong!"
