NAPAPIKIT ako dahil sa ibat-ibang klase at kulay ng ilaw na tumatama sa mukha ko.Isabay rin ang pinagsamang ingay ng mga tao at lakas ng tugtog..This is not my first time being here, I have a friends who love bars and parties and I already used to this, infact this is my leisure. "Klare? Nandito na sila" bulong saakin ni Carlo.pinsan ko..Alam niya ang plano ko at kahit nag-aalangan ay wala na siyang nagawa para pigilan ako....I can't let my family down.Not this time "Ano ng gagawin natin?" aniya "J-just stick to the plan Carl" napailang siya. Alam kong hindi siya sangayon sa gagawin ko..pero gaya nga ng sinabi ko, wala ng mababago..I made my decision BINALIK ko ang atensyon sa lalaking nakasandal sa sandalan ng sofa habang tahimik na pinapanood ang mga taong nagsasayaw sa malawak na dance floor.. Siguro ay kagagaling lang nila sa opisina base na rin sa nakikita kong mga suot nila..Isang puting polo ang suot niya na nakatupi hanggang siko, Sa klase ng tindig at pagkakaupo niya ay masasabing hindi siya basta-bastang tao..He look powerful with that simple aura..Hindi nakapagtatakang kaya niyang maisalba ang kompanya o kabuhayan ng kahit sino Nawala lang ang atensyon ko sa lalaki ng makita si Carlos na nasa mesa na nila..Nakipagkamay sa kanya ang mga lalaki.Nakikita ko ring tila naguusap sila pero hindi ko naririnig,tanging pagbuka lang ng bibig nila ang nakikita ko..They both know each other,Hindi man ganoon kalapit pero magkakilala sila dahil nasa iisang linya lang sila.Bussines Palihim na tumango ako kay Carlos ng bumaling siya saakin...Tumayo siya, sinundan ko ng tingin..Mula sa bar counter hanggang sa makabalik ulit siya sa grupo ng mga lalaki 'tulad ng plano'
