SIX YEARS LATER

ZERON IS LATE AGAIN.  Jordan is currently sipping his drink at the club's counter while waiting for his cousin. Kasama niya si Ramsel Folland, an old friend. OLD habits die hard. His cousin never failed to make him wait every time they set an appointment. He have to attend Georgina's welcome party in a few hours! He really have to! 

Eight years ago, he went to Paris to follow Georgina. They stayed together in the place where their love was free. But Georgina suddenly wanted out. She still loved him but she couldn't afford to be his mistress. They tried to live normally on separate ways until he found himself dating Georgina's co-model who like him very much. One day, she came and told him to stop womanizing and to make everything right. Iyon ang naging set up nila, she dated another man, he dated another woman but they both continue to get in touch....as friends...but he knew that their feelings with each other will soon be rekindled once they put themselves near the flame.

He stared at his watch again. Zeron is two hours late! Good thing he's with Ramsel Folland, an old friend who just arrived from Canada. The man looked bothered while silently drinking his root beer.  

"You okay, man?" He asked, this sight of him looked familiar, he was like this before. Heart broken-hell

"Yeah, thank you..." Tipid nitong sagot.

"I apologize for my cousin, he always arrive late, you know." Wika niya para lang may mapag-usapan. Hindi niya gustong mawala si Ramsel Folland bilang business partner nila. His name spoke millions! Damn his cousin for causing this trouble.

"No problem man, I'm not in a hurry." Ramsel answered. Good thing this man was not as demanding as his other target Timothy Prince Azalcon. That freak was a real pain in the ass!

"So tell me about your marriage." He asked again. It was too late  to realize that he had ask the wrong question. Shit! Saka lang niya naalala na tinatrabaho pala nito ang pakikipaghiwalay sa asawang si Lassey. His wife is currently dating a famous good looking  wolf in the business world Netro Gabriel.

"Lassey wanted out..." Malungkot nitong sagot. At least, he was not angry with the question. He seemed willing to open up.

"What's your plan now?" He sipped his root beer. Annulment is always an interesting topic for him for a resource matter.

"I don't know brad, I mean, we really need to talk about what happened between us. Annulment is never an option for me." Nilingon siya nito. "How about your marriage with your ex-fiancee's sister?" He mocked, a rebound for his tackless question.

Ah no! wrong topic! His face hardened at the memory. He didn't answer to that.

"Hey buddies!" 

They both looked at the man who just arrived. 

Zeron

Finally, the dolt is here, just in time when he was avoiding Ramsel's question.

"You're late." Sita niya, he noticed a girl with him, probably his girlfriend? Uh-huh, his cousin had a taste.

"I'm sorry man, had to pick up my girlfriend first." Zeron answered apologetically and looked at Ram too. "Sorry Ram."  Ram just nodded.

Jordan suddenly held his breathe when he looked at Zeron's woman again, it cannot be! The woman looked familiar, and she stared at him like she knew him too!

"Ah by the way, meet my girlfriend, Celestine...Babe, this is my cousin Jordan and ofcourse you know Ramsel, right?"

Pakilala ni Zeron. The woman nodded to Ramsel.
