Nagtataka na napatingin si Aaliyah sa kaniya. Even himself have no idea who is it.Habang hawak pa rin ang kumot na tumatakip sa kaniyang katawan ay pilit niyang inaabot ang kaniyang damit na siyang pinakamalapit sa kaniya. Aabutin niya na sana Ang pantalon ngunit masyado itong malayo.Hilahin niya na sana Ang kumot ngunit pinipigilan ito ni Aaliyah.

•Yves•Agad na sumunod si Yves Kay Aaliyah. Nang makalabas, nakita niya ang babae na nakatayo sa harap ng resto habang sumisilong sa ulan.Inis na inis ito habang tinitingnan ang kaniyang selpon. Mukhang papunta pa lang ito sa ospital.Yves get in his car and stopped in front of her. He pressed the honk before opening the window on her side. “Get in.” Sabi ni Yves pero inismiran lang iyon ni Aaliyah. Now, he opened the door on her side and looked at her with pleading eyes.She took a moment to think before she ran through inside the vehicle. Yves cleared his throat while she settled herself. “Where to?” “St. Nicholas’, “ sagot naman ni Aaliyah. All throughout the travel, the both of them remained silent as they do their things. Paminsan-minsans napapatingin si Yves sa banda nito. Mas nakikita ang pagkakahawig nilang dalawa ni Ozanne sa seryosong mukha nito habang tumitingin sa bintana sa labas.Agad namang napaiwas Ng tingin si Yves

•Yves• “Oh! Mr Herrera, you’re acquainted with the most beautiful and the best pedia here?” Pagkapasok nila ni Yves at Aaliyah ay agad silang sinalubong ni Director Buendia. Dahil sa sinabi niyang iyon ay napatingin sa kanila ang ilang empleyado Ng hospital. Hindi nakatakas Ang matalim na tingin ni Kath sa kanilang dalawa. Bagama’t naguguluhan ay hindi maipagkakaila Ang pagkadisgusto nito sa magkahawak-kamay nila.

And have a nice day.” They shook hands and Yves then exited. As he was about to enter his car, he heard Aaliyah calling him out. She walked herself in front of him and looked up. “Thanks for backing me up earlier and…” May hinugot ito saglit sa bulsa ng lab gown. She held up a familiar necklace. Yves immediately recognized it.

A certain image continuously flash in his mind.Ilang sandali pa ay dumating na si Kyson.

•Aaliyah•“What’s happening? Why are you crying?”Yves said as he cupped her face. He guided him to the seat while delicately holding her shoulders.“How’s your head? Does it hurts? Should we go back to the hospital?”Aaliyah firmly shook her head. “Ayos lang. I just remembered something.”“You sure? You’re not feeling weird? Or anything?”“I hate sunsets.” Pag aamin ni Aaliyah.

Agad Naman niyang sinenyas ang cellphone na nasa tainga pa niya.Karson formed an ‘o’ with his lips, signaling that he understood what he meant. Itinaas na lamang niya ang dalawang canned beer na hawak nito. Tumabi si Karson sa kaniya at sinimulan na ang pag inom ng alak.It took a couple of minutes hanggang sa matapos ang ginagawa ni Yves. Pagkababa niya ng tawag ay inabot na ni Karson ang Isa pang alak na dala niya.“You don’t wanna join them?” Gamit ang ulo ay itinuro ni Yves ang iba pa. Masayang nagsasayawan Ang mga ito. Bagama’t may kalayuan ay dinig pa rin ang tunog at tawanan Nila. “I don’t dance.” Karson softly chuckled. “At least I have someone that is on the same boat as me.” Tugon naman ni Yves. Kapwa silang nakatayo sa baybayin. Kapwa may hawak na alak sa Isang kamay. Kapwa nakatanaw sa bilog at mahiwagang buwan.“So, the team building’s will end tonight huh?” pagbubukas ni Karson ng usapan.“ Yeah.”
