Vice's eyebrow raised at that. Really? Stroll around while her sister is missing?
"I'm fine," Aga replied, "I'm fine here."
"Come on, para naman malibang ka kahit paano," she answered.
"Shuta!" Vice snickered, "Ang saya mo, 'no? Aren't you bothered even a little? Mahiya-hiya ka naman! If you went here to just stroll around and have a good time, mag-isa mong mag-ikot. Nandito kami para kay Lea."
"Napaka-seryoso mo na-"
"Hindi ka seryoso?" Vice retorted, "Hindi ka nagaalala?"
"Of course I am!" she shouted, "That's my sister we're talking about!"
"Exactly," Dawn replied, "Kapatid mo na nga ang pinaguusapan, Bea. Please have some decency... and respect."
"Tsaka isa pa, galingan mo sa pagganap na nag-aalala ka kasi hindi convincing," Vice added.
Bea's face reddened at that. She pointed a finger at Vice, "How dare you?!"
"No. How dare you?!" Vice fired back, "Hindi mo ba nakikita? Everyone is damn worried, Bea! Kung pwede nga lang na kami na ang sumisid sa dagat, last week pa namin ginawa. Everyone is worried and there you go in your freaking maxi dress and big hat, asking Aga to stroll the heck around! Saan ka ba worried? Sa Ate mo ba o sa sarili mo?!"
"Are you insane, Vice? Ang kapal ng mukha mong pagsabihan ako ng ganyan."
"You are taking advantage of the situation, Bea. Nagt-take ka ng advantage kay Aga. Aminin mo na kasing kahit paano, masaya kang wala ang ate mo ngayon dahil masosolo mo si Aga. 'Di ba? 'Yan naman talaga ang agenda mo? Ang makuha si Aga sa ate mo? Desperada."
Aga was trying to stop the both of them from bantering but they wouldn't budge. People around them are watchinv already. Raymond held Bea's arm to stop her from reaching for Vice's hands, "How dare you call me desperate?! Ang kapal mo at ang sama ng ugali mo. I'm trying my best to help the rescue team in finding ate. Baka ikaw ang walang ginagawa!"
"Alam mo, kung talagang masama ang ugali ko," Vice paused, Baka isipin kong kasabwat ka kung bakit nag-crash ang eroplano at kung bakit hanggang ngayon, eh, hindi pa rin mahanap si Lea."
"What the fuck?!" she snickered, "Why are you accusing me of that?! Saan mo nakuha 'yan?! Why the heck will I do that? Shut your mouth, Vice. Baka sa sobrang pagod mo, nawawala ka na sa sarili mo. Bakit mo ako paghihinalaan? Kapatid ko siya."
"Ay, oo! Kapatid mo nga siya pero 'yang ginagawa mong paninira sa kanila ni Aga? Huh. Ngayon mo sabihin sa aming kapatid nga ang turing mo kay Lea. You selfish and desperate brat!"
"Stop that," Aga uttered under his breath as he stood between the two, "Stop fighting. Nakakahiya kayo."
"Hindi ko sila sinisiraan! I'm just trying to get what's mine from the very beginning!"
"He was never yours and never will be. Yes, you may have met in New York and had a fling but that doesn't mean he is yours. Niligawan ka ba? Hindi naman. Natutulog ba kayong magkatabi at nakatira sa isang bahay? Hindi rin naman. Sinabi ba niyang mahal ka nga niya? Hindi rin naman. So, bakit mo siya inaangkin?"
Shots fired.
"Kinain ka na ng sistema mo, Bea, pwede ba?! Tigilan mo na 'yong pagpapanggap na concerned ka; na nagw-worry ka kasi hindi convincing ang pag-arte mo. Nakakairita ka lang. Masakit ka sa mata, sa totoo lang," Vice added.
"Shut th-"
"No you shut the fuck up!" Aga shouted, "The both of you! Kapag ba magdamag kayong nag-away, mahahanap natin si Lea?! Hindi. Huwag kayong isip-bata. Now is not the right time to argue like kids. Hindi tayo nagpunta rito para mag-away. Tumigil na kayo. Kung hindi niyo kayang tumigil, parehas na kayong umalis."
