CHAPTER THREE: MY REBELLING HEART
He raised his glass of wine followed by the frenzied crowd, sign that the celebration is officially on, an upbeat music roar to the air, its beat bouncing back to the walls of the Function Hall, and how apt, the song is titled, PROBLEM by Ariana Grande ft. Iggy Azalea. Indeed, it is a problem. HE is the PROBLEM!!
Everybody was minding their own business, mingling with other people, dancing to the upbeat music. Even my colleagues have their own businesses. Krissy, Jeanny, Dean, Melissa and Mara are grooving to the beat while Billy and Isaac, my close guy friend are drinking and busy laughing at the others.
I feel uneasy since I felt someone is following my every move... I took another flute of champagne. I should leave as soon as possible before worst things happen.
"Isaac," I called out,
"Yes Vans," he asked while sipping liquor from his glass, I came near him and he put his hand on my back, I am comfortable with Isaac, he's like a brother to me, and I'm a sister to him, it is he whom I ask for advice whenever I'm freaking out and he is my patient listener to all my whereabouts in everyday life. But aside from that I also have my newly, not actually new, found best friends with Dean and Jeanny.
"I'll be leaving soon, please tell them if ever somebody looks for me." I advice while checking my belongings,
"Aren't you enjoying the party?" he asked, I know he sense that I'm worried
"I am, actually, I just have to attend other much important matters," I replied defensively,
"Oh? You want me to drive you home?" he asked politely, this time he is holding my left hand.

I am being engaged in congratulatory conversation, though I am answering their every question with all my might, my eyes were searching for her, and finally, I spot her, still near the stage, beside this fair skinned guy who is touching her upper back, I shift uncomfortably, I want to cross near her and grab her from his hold, but then I hear Victor murmur,
"Calm down, they are just friends." he clarified; I am clenching my fist already.
Then I saw him holding her hands now. I feel Victor tap me on my shoulder, I look at him with furious gaze then he whispered,
"He's no threat. Keep cool." I then saw her left, I immediately excuse myself from the crowd that is starting to gather around me, as I made it to the door of the Function Hall, I saw her turned to another hallway, and I discreetly followed her, greeting every individual that greets me.
I saw her enter the Ladies Lavatory. I stayed with my back facing the Lavatory. Luckily there are less people in that area. Then I heard the door open, I just stay as cool and unnoticeable.
