Pagod at antok na antok si Blaze na pumunta sa airport. He didn't sleep a wink last night. All could he think about was Patience.
He wanted to strangle Tina, when she interrupted them. Pero hindi lang iyon ang sumira ng gabi niya, when Luke kissed Patience in the cheek, he wanted to kill him. That's when he realized he feel something for her. He liked her. Ngayon lamang siya nagkaganito, ngayon lang siya parang masisiraan ng bait dahil lang sa babae. He's Blaze Collins for God's sake! The playboy millionaire.
"Blaze!" narinig niyang sigaw ng babae.
He looked at the arriving passengers and searched for the woman he was waiting for. Agad niya naman itong nakita. It wasn't hard to miss a gorgeous brunette, na kahit matangkad na ito ay nakahells parin, walking like a model on the runway.
Tumakbo ang babae patungo sa kanya and hugged him. "Blaze! I missed you." She said.
"I missed you too." He replied and hugged her back.
Humiwalay ang babae sa kanya and took off her sunglasses na nagpapatangos lalo ng ilong nito, revealing her light brown eyes. "I heard you're getting married," she said.
Kinuha ni Blaze ang hawak-hawak nitong cart sa kamay at nagsimula silang maglakad. "Yes, I am. But it's not my decision. Alam mo naman si Mama." He replied.
The woman laughed. "Yeah. Who's the ugly bride?"
"Blanca!" Saway ni Blaze.
"What?" She rolled her eyes.
"Si France." Matipid niyang sagot.
Huminto sa paglakad si Blanca and faced him. "Are you fvcking serious?! Sa dinami-daming babae sa mundo si France pa talaga!" Galit niyang wika. Nakatingin na sa kanila ang mga taong dumadaan.
"Blanca! Watch your mouth." Ulit na saway ni Blaze at hinila niya ito para patuloy sila sa paglalakad.
"I can fvcking cuss if I want, I'm fvcking 25 years old! Don't treat me like I'm a kid," nagpupuyos sa galit ang itsura ni Blanca. Hindi matanggap na si France ang babaeng papakasalan ni Blaze.
Hindi sumagot si Blaze. Engaging in the nonsense conversation would turn into a big fight.
Pagkatapos ilagay sa likod ng kotse ang gamit ng babae at sumakay silang dalawa sa kotse at walang kibo habang nagbibiyahe. The silence were deafening.
"Alam mong si Mama ang may gusto kay France. I would never choose her myself to be my wife, alam mo iyan Blanca. So stop pouting," pag-aamo ni Blaze.
Hindi sumagot si Blanca at ngumiti lamang. Kahit kailan, hindi niya kayang tiisin ni Blaze ang babae. He would do everything to make her happy.
"Your party will be held tomorrow. I will help you to prepare today, kung gusto mo. I can't stop my engagement for now, this is the least I could do. Lalo na at wala si Mama." Wika ni Blaze.
"Thank you so much Blaze! I love you!" excited na wika ni Blanca.
"I love you too." He replied.
"YOU ARE SO beautiful," nakangiting wika ni Luke.
"Thank you," sagot ni Patience. It's the night of the party. Tinulungan siya ni Tina na mag-ayos. She wore her gold strapless long gown and tied up her hair, focusing on her shoulder and long neck.
Luke stared at her. He look so handsome in his black tuxedo and in bow tie. "Shall we?" He offered, at inilalayan siya pasakay ng kotse.
"Ingat kayo!" Pahabol na sigaw ni Tina while the car drove off.
"So, kaninong party ang pupuntahan natin? Is it your birthday? I didn't bring any gift." wika ni Patience.
Luke smiled in amusement. "No. It's not my birthday and hindi na kailangan ng gift. We're going to the Grand Diamond Hotel, doon gaganapin ang party nila Blaze." he answered. The Grand Diamond Hotel ang pinakamalaking hotel sa lugar, ngunit pagnatapos na ang Quartz Hotel and Resort, paniguradong pangalawa na lamang ito.
Parang tumigil ang paghinga ni Patience sa narinig. She didn't expect to see him tonight. Lalong lalo na at kasama niya si Luke. She wanted to focus on Luke, ngunit papaano niya nagagawa iyon kung ang lalaking gumugulo sa isip niya ay makikita niya na naman.
"Are you okay? Namumutla ka." He stated.
"Yeah," she answered.
PAGKARATING sa hotel, sa entrance palang sobrang dami ng tao. Everyone is so elegant in their gowns and tuxedo.
Luke's hand is on her waist habang naglalakad. "Name please?" Tanong ng babaeng naka-office suit sa kanila pagkarating sa entrance.
"Luke Tan and Patience Jimenez," he answered.
The woman paused for a moment searching for their name and smiled noong nakita na niya ito. "Welcome Mr. Tan and Ms. Jimenez, enjoy the party." Bati nito.
She roamed her eyes. The place is designed in silver and gold in color. Each table has a pink tulips in the center. "Birthday ba ni Blaze?" tanong ni Patience pagkapasok.
"O, there they are." Turo ni Luke sa kinatatayuan ni Blaze. He's with a gorgeous woman, nakapalibot ang kamay nito sa bewang ng babae. He looks handsome as always. Pakiramdam niya huminto tibok ng puso niya sa nakikita. They're both laughing and they seemed enjoying their company. Halatado sa mga mata ni Blaze ang kasiyahan, ngunit siya ay kabaliktaran ang nararamdaman.
"Si France ba iyon?" Hindi mapigilan na tanong ni Patience.
Nagsimula sila maglakad patungo sa dereksyon ng dalawa. "Hindi. France is blonde. Si Blanca 'yan. This is her party." sagot ni Luke.
Hindi alam ni Patience ang iisipin. If that's not his fiance. Sino naman kaya iyan? tanong niya sa sarili. Hindi na siya magugulat kung ipapakilala nitong girlfriend ang babae. Katulad ng sinabi ni Luke, Blaze isn't the marriage type. Another woman. No wonder Patience thinks he's trouble.
"Pare!" Bati ni Luke kay Blaze. Kinuha nito ang kamay ng babaeng kasama ni Blaze at hinalikan ang mga daliri. "Blanca, long time no see." dagdag na wika ni Luke.
"Long time." The woman answered.
Nakatingin si Blaze kay Patience in awe. "Blanca, this is Patience Jimenez. My date," pakilala ni Luke. "Patience this is Blanca Collins. Blaze's sister."
