"I see," I said kaya tinignan niya ako ng masama as if she was not happy about being Ian's last dance when she is lucky to be with him since madaming babae ang gustong kasayaw siya pero si Ian ay laging tumatanggi at nirarason ang trabaho niya.

"He's boring," She said,

"And you are so loud, Lady Collins," Ian said, kaya napatingin kami sa kaniya dahil akala namin wala siyang balak magsalita since he was just looking at us.

"What?! I am not!" She said as she looked at him while Ian just looks away kaya lalong naaasar si Miary.

"Ugh, I thought he was a great guy when I first met him but he is not," she said as she sulks while looking at Ian. Napatawa naman ako dahil they are looking good together.

"Really? Well, he is a great guy," I said kaya tinignan niya ako ng seryoso while Ian suddenly looked at me. "I know, I know you are looking at him so don't be like him, okay?" She said as she shakes me with her both hands holding my shoulders.

"Yes, yes. So stop it," I said as I hold both of her hands off me since I was easily getting dizzy when she shakes me up. 

"Well, if you are curious how we end up being partners is that he said that he saw a light from my hands when the lights-off and both of us were surprised when we the hall brighten up," She said,

"I see," Ani ko kaya napatingin siya sa akin na nagtataka. "I see? Don't tell me you don't have a partner because you didn't see a light when the lights were gone!? That's why you told me that it is a secret!" She said as she looks worried as if she pity me because of it.

"ah, yes," Ani ko sa kaniya habang ngumiti ako while Ian just looks at me seriously. 

"Don't worry Avy! You can find one too," She said as she comforts me as I forcefully smile. 

"Yes," I said as I looked at Ian, "Ian, did you really saw a light?" I asked him since Lady Miary left us to get food to cheer me up. 

"Yes, as if it was telling me to follow it," He answered.

"I see. Does that mean only men can see the light?" I said dahil gusto kong makasiguro na lalaki lang ang nakakita do'n. "I am not sure but mostly yes," He answered so I feel relieved since I thought I will be exposed if he happens to know. 

"That's a relief," I said,

"Why?" He said as he looked at me seriously, "It's nothing," I answered.

He frowned when he looked at me, "Who is your partner? I don't think that you don't have a partner," He said kaya hindi ako makatingin sa kaniya ng deritso.

"I really don't have," I said as I looked at him para maniwala siya.

"Hm, really?" He said, "Y, yes," I answered kaya tinignan niya ako ng malamig na tingin.

"Well, to tell you the truth that only men can see that light," He said kaya parang binuhusan ako ng malamig na tubig dahil sa sinabi niya.

"What? Seryoso ka?!" Ani ko dahil patay ako pag nagkataon habang nakatingin sa kaniya na nag-aalala.

"Yes, but don't worry since may mga pares akong nakita kanina although they ended up together since they are near each other or they bumped into each other," He explains kaya napabuntong hininga ako dahil akala ko mabubuking na ako.

"Samalat naman," Sabi ko,

"Now, tell me who is your partner," He said as he approaches me as he looks at me straight into my eyes. Hindi ako makatingin ng deritso sa kaniya kaya nakatingin ako sa floor since he was really so near to me at medyo nakayuko siya.
