“Goodbye..Karylle..” Mahinang sambit ni Vice kay karylle.
Tinungga ulit ni Vice ang alak sa harap nia. Namamanhid na rin ang katawan nia dahil sa dami ng alak na ininum nia.
.
.
He hold his breath waiting for her answer, every minute is like an Eternity. She just stading in front of him, cupping his face.
Di nia alam kong gaano sila katagal sa ganoong ayos, then she let go,.
“I want you to be happy…whatever it takes..” he said. Holding back the tears.
“Vice..”
“Don’t worry.. magiging masaya ako.. simula bukas.. babalik na ulit ung Vice Ganda na nakilala mo..” He said, his voice breaking.
“I-im sorry..”
He took a deep breath, and then he pulled her, hug her.
“Don’t be,.Masaya akong nakilala kita..” he whispered.
He left her on the steps alone, refusing to look back. From now on, the love of his life was only an aquintance.
.
.
.
“Vice…”
Si buern ang bumungad sa pinto nia, kasama nito ang buong team Vice.
“You told them?” he asked Buern, gumaralgal ang boses nia.
Buenrn nodded.
He collapse to his knees. “I-I let her go..”
His friends sorrounded him, placing their hands on my head and shoulder for support.
.

“Meme! ung Phone mo ang ingay!!” buern yelled from the living room.
Iniwan nia ang kanyang celpon on the top of the television. The farthest point from his bedroom in the room.
Ito ang unang araw na wala na talaga sila ni Karylle, At ito ang unang araw na di sia lalabas ng kanyang kwarto,as IN buong araw.
“Vice! ur phone!..”
He stared up the white ceiling, thankful sa kanyang Co-bekes ay sinamahan sia sa kanyang pag luluksa kagabi.
Buern pushed open the door and threw the small, black rectangle into the air. It landed to his chest.
“Sus! Buern!....”
“Tama na ung pag luluksa mo kagabi Vice.. di pweding forever kang mag kukulong rito..”
Tumunog ulit ang celphone sa dibdib nia.
“Pang 6 missedcall na yan..”
“All Anne?”
“Ung half kay billy galing..”
Tumunog ulit ang phone nia. Naiinis na binalya nia ang kanyang celphone palayo sa kanya. “I need a drink..”
“You need a shower.Ang baho mo Vice.. amoy pagkaing PANIS ka.,”
He sneered. “Atleast I brushed my teeth last night..”
“Last night un!..before ng inuman.. so please.. nakakapatay ng DEMOMYO yang hininga mo..”
“Grabeh---“ he stopped wen he heard the ringtone. Naka assign ang call na un kay KARYLLE. He sat up.
Kung inaakala mo..
Ang pag-ibig koy magbabago..
Itaga mo sa bato..
Dumaan man ang maraming pasko..
Tumaas ang kamay nia at tinakpan ang kanyang tainga. “Stop., please!!..” Breaking the part of his heart that wanted to take back everything he just said. Ung bibitaw sia.. ung mag lelet go sia.
Buern walked over to his bed,picked up his phone. “Sasagutin ko ba?”
Umiling sia.
Buern sighed. Threw the phone onto his lap. “Call Anne..nag aalala naung babaing un..”
Tumango sia at nag simulang mag dial.
“Ngangabu..”
“my ghad Vice..Ive been calling u all morning..pero di ka sumasagot.. nasaan ka ba?..”
“Condo..”
“Condo?? Papunta ka na ba rito?? Hinahanap ka ni Derik..”
“I cant come..”
“Huh.. Y?..”
Napapikit sia. “May shooting kami ng Girl Boy Bakla Tomboy..”
“Anong shooting.. Bukas pa! diba??”
“Nabago ang sked..” pag dadahilan nia.
Natahimik ito. “May problema kaba?” maya-mayay tanong nito.
“Wala..”
“Wag kang mag sinungaling.. kilala kita..”
“Wala nga..”
“Si Karylle?..”
Di sia umimik.
“Absent din sia today.. kala ko magkasama kayo.. pero this past days.. napapansin namin di kayo nag papansinan..”
“Anne..” mahinang saway nia rito. Ayaw niang itopic ang tungkol sa kanila ni Karylle.
“Vice..kaibigan mo ko---“
“I know..” putol nia sa sasabihin nito. “If you really are my friend…just..just..” he sighed. “Gusto ko muna makapag isa.. gusto ko munang makapag-isip..let’s talk again this later , okay??”
“…. just dont do anything stupid..”
“okay..”
“Lab yah bakla..”
“Same here, ngangabu..”
He click the endcall button.
“Vice.. ayaw mo ba talagang pumasok?”
Umiling sia
“Okay.. I’ll be outside.. call me if may kailangan.. ka..”
Muli niang tiningnan ang kanyang celphone, his heart rose and fell a sight when he saw Karylle’s name on his contacts.
“…whatever it takes…” he whisphered.
He reared back, and launched his phone, watching it shatter into million pieces and scatter on the floor.
Muling bumukas ang pinto at iniluwa si Buern, nanlalaki ang mata nito. "Wat the!, ano yon?..."
“Call them.. lahat ng Beki’s mag clu-clubing tayo tonight..” sabi nia.

Nakangiting hinila ni Vice ang binata palabas ng Elevator. He gigled when the guy grabbed him and his tounge trail down to his neck..
He doesn’t even know his name..Hinila lang nia ang nasabing binata ng ilang beses ni itong nahuling nakatingin sa kanya. Nang sinabi nia ang gusto nia., agad namang pumayag ang lalaking at sumama sa kanya.
he hummed, bitting his lip. Vice laughed against his mouth when he try to caught his tounge,
Midkiss, he froze. Karylle was standing in front the front door.
“Karylle,” he said, stunned.
Karylle’s expresion morped from surprise to anger. “It’s good to see ur feeling like ur old self, Vice.”
It took him a moment to react. He grabbed her coat ng maramdamang aalis ito sa harap nia. Nilingon nia ang binata, assigned him to leave.
Marahan nia itong binitiwan “A-anong ginagawa mo rito?” wika nia pagkatapos umalis ng binata.
“Im sorry., na disturb yata kita..” she said, turning away.
He grabbed her arm. “Sandali, Galit ka??”
She yanked her arm from his grip. “You know”—She laughed once—“I don’t even know why im surprised."
She might have laughed, but she had hatred in her eyes.
“Alam mo! ang gulo mo.. ang gulo mo talaga!!..Sinabi mong tapos na tayo..Miserable ako rito. ! I had to break my phone into a million pieces to keep from calling you— Binitiwan na kita para maging masaya ka.. tapos ngaun galit ka sa akin? You broke my fuckin heart!” he screamed.
He grabbed her shoulders and pulled her closer, looking ito her eyes. “You cant keep doing this to me, K..” Nangingilid ang mga luha nia. “I just wanted to forget. Just for one night..”
“then don’t let me stop you.” She turned to walk away, but he grabbed her arm.
“Karylle..”
Napapikit itong humarap sa kanya. “We are dysfunctional, Vice. Parehas---“
“No.,! Kakayanin natin ito..Just take me back..”
“it’s over Vice.. Go home..”
Hot tears burned to his eyes and dripped down one of his checks. He reached out for karylle.
“But u are my HOME..”
