"MICHAEL?" Lalin mumbled beyond her shock. She didn't know how to react. Now that he's here again in front of her. Wari ay may nais na sabihin ang dalaga, panay bukas-sara lang ang bibig niya.
 
     
She just stared at Michael's angry face looking at Dolly. He could see her hand holding Dolly's hand that would almost leave a mark on the girl's wrist. Kitang-kita sa pag-ngiwi nito ang sakit.
   
   
Kaya naman pumiksi si Dolly. Halatang nasaktan ito sa paraan ng paghawak ni Michael sa pulso nito. "Ouch!" Tried to pull her hand back but it only hurt Dolly more. "Let go of me!" Tili nito. Pero dahil sa lakas ng music, si Lalin at si Michael lang ang nakarinig. Gayunpaman ay halata pa rin na may alitan.
   
The three of them were just near the entrance, so the two quarrels were distracting. Some of those who come provide a glimpse.
   
       
"Sa susunod na susubukan mong saktan si Lalin, mananagot ka sa akin!" Michael said angrily. Pabalya nitong binitawan ang kamay ni Dolly. Samantalang kumikibot-kibot na nagmartsa paalis si Dolly.
   
   
Only then did Lalin moved and be given the opportunity to speak. She stared flatly at Michael's face."Can you, don't bother me." Lalin said calmly. But anger spontaneously came out in the tone of her voice.
   
   
The young man's head tilted and unbelievably stared at her face. "I just saved your ass!"
   
   
"I don't need your damn concern. I don't ask your help either!" Pakli ni Lalin. Inis siyang umalis sa harap ng binata. Meanwhile Michael also followed, interacting with the guests and students who were there.
    
   
But the young man's eyes followed where the girl sat. He's hoping that Lalin would give him a look. But the girl was already sitting, but she did not look at him. So Michael's smile became raw to those who still greeted him.
 

 
Makalipas ang ilang oras.....      (🎵Now playing..🎵Till my heartaches end🎶)
   
  

"MAY I have this dance?" From watching the couples dancing in the middle. Lalin raised her head, to see who was in front of her.
  

🎶🎶I recall when you said
That you would never leave me🎶🎶
  

It was Michael. Nakatayo sa harapan niya ang binata at nakalahad ang kamay. With a genuine smile on his lips. She can't react properly. To think that her grip thighened on his lap.
   
   
"Uhm...." she mumbled hesitantly.
 
 
"All right Selene, Gab and I are fine here!" Zhy's voice prompted. She turned around and there she saw the breadth and sweetness of its smile. Gab also smiled at her, in agreement to Zhyra.
 
 
🎶🎶 That you'd be here forever
Then you left🎶🎶
  
      
While Lalin's will is arguing. She wants to decline. Pero mahahalata naman nina Gab at Zhy. Therefore, Lalin emphatically shut her eyes. At pabuntong-hininga na nagmulat ng mga mata. Saka niya tinanggap ang kamay ng binata.
  
    
🎶🎶Without even saying that you're leaving 🎶🎶
   
   
But before Michael and Lalin could get away from the table and she heard the two giggle. She turned her head and saw Gab's teasing smile especially Zhyra. Michael chuckled as he guided her at the center.
 

 
Samantala. Akiro saw Lalin together with the mysterious guy he saw in the parking lot the other day. Patungo ang mga ito sa gitna.
   
   
🎶🎶And it really won't be easy
To forget yesterday🎶🎶
 
    
And what made Akiro confused even more. Ay ang nararamdaman niya. Habang pinagmamasdan niya ang dalawa, parang nais niyang hilahin at ilayo ang dalaga doon sa lalaki. Lalo na nang ilagay ng lalaki sa bewang ni Lalin ang mga kamay. Isabay pa ang romantic na tugtog habang sumasayaw ang dalawa. Makes Akiro wants drag Lalin badly. Tumaas talaga ang kilay ng binata sa tagpong 'yon.
 
    
🎶🎶And I pray that you would stay
But then you're gone
And, oh, so far away🎶🎶
 
     
Hindi niya alam kung bakit siya nakaramdam ng ganoon. Maski siya ay litong-lito sa sariling nararamdaman. He tried to rationalize his feelings.
   
   
Sa kabilang panig, hindi makatingin ng diretso si Lalin kay Michael. Pakiramdam niya ay tinutunaw siya sa paraan ng pagtitig nito sa mukha niya. Pati ang dati niyang tapang ay nalusaw ng ganoon kadali. Napayuko siya
 
 
🎶🎶 I was afraid this time would come
I wasn't prepared
To face this kind of hurtin' from within
I have learned to live my life beside you🎶🎶
