“Oh my… ang aking Kapitan! Mabuti naman naalala mo ako! Hmp malapit ng magtampo sa’yo si Lola. Ilan taon na din ang nakalipas.” Sabi ni lola ng may pagtatampo sa kaniyang tinig. “Magagawa ba naman kitang tiisin, ikaw ata ang pinaka-mamahal kong Lola!” nakangiti kong sagot kay Lola sabay yakap sa kaniya. Habang masaya akong bumabati kay Lola ay isang pigura ng babaeng nakatalikod ang unti-unting tumayo at nakangiting humarap sa amin. Si Yvette. Hindi ko inaasahan na dadating siya ngayong araw. Nakangiti siya pero makikita sa kaniyang mata ang kakaibang lungkot, isang damdamin na kahit anong tago ang gawin ay hindi niya maitatanggi. Si Yvette ang dati kong karelasyon at muntik ko ng mahalin matapos kong aliwin ang aking sarili ng malaman kong naging boyfriend ni Karmela si Andrew. Tumaas ang kilay ko ng makita ko siya. Wala naman akong pakielam sa kaniya pero knowing Yvette? Paniguradong gagawa siya ng eksena at ayokong matakot si Karmela dahil sa kaniya. Lumapit siya sa akin at nag beso. Nakangiti niya akong binati ngunit may halong pait sa kaniyang boses “My Captain Xian Herrera… its nice to see you again. Ang tagal na din ng huli nating pagkikila” may panunuya siyang tumingin kay Karmela at mapait ng ngumiti sa kaniya “siya ba? Siya ba ang dahilan kung bakit hindi mo ako sinuyo? Kaya naman pala bigla kang nawala sa picture. May bago ka na palang pinagkaka-abalahan!” Nang marinig ko ang sinabing iyon ni Yvette ay alam kong hindi lang iyon simpleng pagpuna. Naramdaman ko sa kaniyang boses ang matinding hinanakit. Kinapitan ko ng mahigpit ang kamay ni Karmela at tinignan siya na parang sinasabing “ huwag kang mag-alala hindi kita pababayaan.”
