THEY’re both quiet while they were waiting for the elevator to open. Lolo Eduardo insisted na puntahan nila si Jaime sa opisina nito at sabay-sabay na sila umuwi.
Then it opened and they walked out. Nakakailang hakbang pa lang sila ng mapahinto siya. Napatingin siya sa babaeng makakasalubong nila. Nakita niyang naningkit ang mata nito pagkakita sa kanya.
"Marie," Don Eduardo greeted. "I never knew you where here."
"Good afternoon Lolo," ani Marie at bahagya pa itong nagyuko ng ulo bilang pagbati.
"You remember Katrina?"
"How can I forget?" Marie answered. "What brought you here?" Marie asked her.
"We thought we gave Jaime a visit." Don Eduardo answered in her behalf. "Bakit may lakad ba kayo ni Jaime?"
"Marie, wait." Jaime came rushing.
She looked at him and saw his red left face.
