Three days later
After the incident at the hospital, Ren has been keeping a long distance from Tracy, not because he doesn't want to see her again, but because he just wants her to be fine.
After a long day at work, he drives to the hospital and asks about her from the doctor. This is what he has been doing after what happened. He would go to the hospital before he goes to work in the morning and after he leaves his office, to check on her secretly. He really loves her, but too bad that he can't stop being a bad person.
"She will be discharged, hopefully, tomorrow," The doctor says to him before he finally leaves the hospital. Being by her side and accompanying her home later is what he would've loved so much to do, but he knows that he needs to stay away from her so she will have enough time to come around.
Driving down the road, his mind keeps drifting away with many questions flooding his mind.
'He kept cheating on me' her painful voice replays in his head, and he sighs for the umpteenth time, as he suddenly turns to another direction, heading to God knows where.
His phone suddenly starts ringing, and he reaches out for it. He glances at the screen and rolls his eyes as he pulls over at the side of the road, sliding the answer button afterward.
"Hey, man. It has been a while. Why have you not been answering my calls?" A masculine voice sounds from the other end, and he rolls his eyes and rests his head on the headrest.
"I've just been busy, Leo. What's the problem? Why have you been calling me lately?" He asks in between sighs.
"Nothing. Kayden is back from the states, and I was thinking of us visiting the Chinese bar in town. It has been a while. We can all hang out later, what do you think?" Leo's voice rings through the phone. He and Leo have been best friends for so long that he can remember. They grew up together until Kayden joined them in college during their finals. The three have been best friends even after many years.
"Alright. I will meet you up later," He says lazily on the phone, and ends the call without even waiting for him to say another word to him.
He sighs briefly as he drops his phone on the seat, and hits the steering wheel in frustration.
His phone suddenly starts ringing just before he can start his car, and he reaches out for it lazily. He slides the answer button and places the phone to his ear, without even bothering to check who the caller is.
"Ren..." The familiar voice that sounds from the other end makes him snap his eyes open in shock. It's the woman after his heart, Tracy. He feels like a burden has just been lifted off his shoulders, and his dead spirit resurrected. His face beams with excitement.
"Tracy..." He calls softly, trying not to stutter.
"I'm leaving the hospital tomorrow... Will you be free to pick me up? My mom will be very busy, and my dad had an urgent business trip..."
"Of course, I will be there to pick you up," He cuts her off excitedly, and the call drops immediately. He drops his phone gladly...
A few hours later at the club
The buzzing sound of music fills the air. The smell of alcohol and cigarettes fills the atmosphere. Some ladies are dancing alone, while some are with men.
"Come on, man. You're going to get yourself drunk," Leo yells as he snatches the bottle from Ren for the umpteenth time, but he reaches out for it again.
"Come on, man. I can still handle this. This is nothing," Although he's drunk, he doesn't still want to admit it.
"Where's Kay?" He suddenly asks Leo after he glances around.
"He went to the restroom to do his thing, you know?" Leo replies to him, and he nods his head.
"Hmm..." He nods his head to the buzzing music as he smiles creepily. It has been a while since he last visited the club, and he's having so much fun to the fullest.
"Man, you're going to get horny if you continue to drink that, OK?" Leo reminds him, but he only rolls his eyes.
"Don't worry, I can handle it. I'm not going to get horny, OK? I have promised myself not to ever hurt Tracy, so I'm keeping my life in check now," He says and belches afterward, gulping down another glass of vodka.
"Alright, man. I got to go to the restroom. I'm pressed. I'll be back soon," Leo excuses himself and leaves for the restroom.
On the other end of the club...
"I told you that this is not a good idea. What if Ren sees us here?" Lilian asks Lisa as soon as they both steps into the clubhouse and the smell of alcohol welcomes her.
"Boss doesn't come here. We'll be quick about it," Lisa assures her, and she slowly nods her head. She was just discharged from the hospital three days ago, and although she's not perfectly fine, she couldn't refuse Lisa when she pleaded with her to follow her to the bar. Lisa got a call some minutes ago that her brother got drunk and she needed to pick him up from the bar. Since it's late and she couldn't make it alone, Lilian volunteered to go to the bar with her.
"Wait for me here. I will be back," Lisa says to her and hurries away before she can say anything.
"What are you doing here, Lilian?" She snaps her head back to see Ren glaring hard at her with his half-closed eyes. He's staggering and trying to keep his eyes open since he's still drunk, but he can still recognize her even though it's dark in the club.
"Uhm... I... Ren... It's not what you think, OK? I..." She stutters nervously as she feels her heart racing rapidly against her chest. She gulps down nothing nervously, thinking of what to say to him.
"Come on, let's have fun," He suddenly grabs her hand and pulls her to himself, pressing his body hard against hers.
"What are you doing? Let go of me," She yells, trying to get away from him, but his grip around her hand only gets tightened.
"Come on, baby. Don't be like this," He says drunkenly, as he slams her back against the wall, his hand crawling up her thigh and his face nuzzling her neck. She knows that he's drunk and probably has no idea about what he's doing now, which he will regret later, so she needs to stop him before he does something stupid to her.
"Let go of me," She tries to push her away, but his grip around her tightens as he forces his lips into hers, kissing her roughly while the crowd cheers like he's doing a good job, molesting the innocent girl.
"Let me go, please... Ren, please let me go," Tears stream down her cheeks as she struggles to free herself from his grip, but he pins her hand on the wall and kisses her roughly like his life depends on it.
"Let go of her," The loud music suddenly stops, followed by a cold voice, and Ren suddenly stops...
