Three days later...

Sa nakalipas na tatlong araw ay parehong abala si Mia at Alexus sa kani-kanilang mga sarili. Parehong sinusubok ang mga sarili na makalimot sa sakit na dala ng biglaan nilang paghihiwalayan.

Mia tried to bring back her old self. Kung sino siya noon bago niya minahal si Alexus.

Habang si Alexus ay tinuturing na parang normal lang ang mga araw na lumipas. He went back to his old self. Where he never learned how to smile and how to be clingy nor talk much.

Ngayon ay abala si Alexus sa pag close ng deal niya sa isang European Mafia. The meet up was organized in a country traditional boat. This Mafia was a recent governor of a famous and largest city of Europe. Istanbul.

He make deals exclusively and limited to topmost person around the area. And Alexus was just so great to have better access to communication with Gregory Viton.

"The packages are well-packed and the items are high-class supplies that could extremely satisfy the users. I'm one among the testers of these items, and I'm very satisfied with it. I shot countable heads for the testing and the bullets are piercing. So if ever you'll encounter difficulties, contact me directly." Alexus said before gesturing his hand to Gregory.

Gregory smirked and accepted Alexus's hand. "I trust you, Monteiro. I know your supplies are superb."

The two of them giggled, before giving each other a friendly man to man hug. Despite being partners, the two are also competitors in terms of school's topmost genius. But because Alexus and Gregory are both amazing, may pagkakataon na nangunguna si Alexus at gano'n rin si Gregory.

Competitors in Acad, pero hindi kaaway ang turingan. They aren't friends, just a common nobody, not until they had come up the same business and field kaya sila naging magkaibigan.

"I know, right. Well then, I have to take my leave." Pagpapaalam ni Alexus at unang bumitaw. Yumukod ang mga tao ni Gregory kay Alexus at gano'n din ang mga tao ni Alexus kay Gregory.

"Then, let me escort you upstairs."

Nagkukuwentohan si Alexus at Gregory habang naglalakad papunta sa upper deck ng barko. The topic are all about business matters. Kung gaano na kalapad at kalawak ang range nila. Pati na kung sino-sino ang nga name-meet nila.

Hanggang sa nagpapaalamanan na sila. Nilisan ni Alexus ang barko at direktang tumungo sa hotel na kaniyang inuukupa. Jeff was with him and was silent all along not until they entered the hotel room. 

"Alexus, do you really mean it?" Papasok pa lang si Jeff nang magtanong siya kay Alexus na nakaupo na ngayon sa pang isahang sofa sa sala ng hotel room.

"Mean what?" May karamay na supladong himig sa striktong boses ni Alexus.

Napabuntong hininga si Jeff, it's because Alexus turned a blind eye at the topic he just opened as if Alexus didn't know about it. "Come on, Bro. It's Mia. Don't you missed her?"

Hindi sumagot si Alexus, bagkus ay nagkudlit ito ng sigarilyo at naglalaro sa usok na ibinubuga nito. Naiiling si Jeff, feeling hopeless at Alexus's manners. Hinubad niya ang blazer at isinampay sa sandalan ng couch bago naupo. "Ace posted a picture of him and Mia. I think, they're dating."

Natigilan si Alexus sa paglalaro sa kaniyang sigarilyo, umigting ang panga at tila hindi nagustohan ang narinig. "If you're just gonna talk about her, with me. Just fvck off."

Sa napapansin ni Jeff kay Alexus ay hindi ito sigurado sa ginagawa. He knows him. If the other person will say let's stop it. He will definitely do it, without considering his own opinion towards it. Binuksan ni Jeff ang cellphone at ipinakita ang nakatalikod na pigyura ni Ace at Mia na nakaharap sa malawak na dagat at magkasama na sinaksihan ang sunset. Nakaakbay si Ace kay Mia, and Mia rested her head to Ace's shoulder. Nagmumukhang sweet at loving couple ang mga ito na siyang pinusoan ng ilang daang libong tao na sumusubaybay sa buhay ni Ace.
