A table.

Foods.

And chairs.

It seems a elegant dinner.

Few minutes later, some people are began to arrive one by one.

Everyone stood up as the pillar of their home arrived, signaling respect and reverence.

He just smile and let them sit.

"Good evening Mr. And Mrs. Silveste, Christianos are glad you visit" A man said, kung titignan ay nasa middle age na ito.

"Thank you for inviting us Thrent" Alex said.

Thrent and Alex are childhood bestfriend, they walk the same path as a politician.

"Bakit hindi sumama sila Yuno and Calliope?" Thrent asked while the maids are serving them.

"Alam mo naman ang panganay ko eh hindi interesado sa politika at baka raw hindi lang sya makarelate rito" Alex said at bahagyang natawa ang dalawang magkaibigan.

"Si Yuno naman, hindi pala sama sa mga gantong okasyon. Taong bahay ang batang iyon" dagdag ni Alex habang masayang nakikipag usap sa kaibigan nito.

In other hand, masayang magkasama naman si Yuno at Calliope sa iisang kwarto.

"Don't move, nahihirapan ako" saad ni Yuno.

"Nga pala, my party-list needs a one candidate for senator sa susunod na eleksyon" Panimula ni Thrent. Nasa hapag kainan pa rin sila sa mga oras na ito at nakikinig ang buong Christiano sa usapan nila.

"I want you to be part of my party-list, Alex" dagdag nito na kinataka ni Alex at kinabigla ng mga tao roon.

"Why? I mean bakit hindi ikaw?" Takang tanong ni Alex.

"Well, I'm tired of being a politician" saad nito at nasandal sa upuan. "Ikaw ang agad pumasok sa isip ko na tumuloy sa plano kong maging senador, tsaka isa pa diba balak mo rin tumakbo?" Dagdag pa nito.

"Oo per-" naputol ang sasabihin nito at napukaw ang atensyon nang lahat sa tumayong lalaki.

"Excuse us" saad ng lalaki na kung titignan ay nasa 20's lang ito, sumunod naman sakanya ang isang babae na parang asawa nya.

"Troy!" Sigaw nang ama. "Hayynako, kahit kelan talaga" dagdag pa nito.

"Sigurado ka na ba sa desisyon mo?" Tanong ni Eliza nang makasakay sila sa sasakyan. Tapos na ang dinner meeting nila sa mga Christiano at pabalik na sila sa hotel.

"I can't decline his offer, besides its a good time for us" saad ni Alex at nag suot ng seatbelt. "We will used Christiano to climb the mountain" he added and look at Eliza's eyes a fear feelings starting to form within her.

"Just watch honey" napatingin ito sa harapan at inumpisahan nang mag maneho ng kanilang driver. "Kung ikaw nga naagaw ko, kasikatan pa kaya nila?" Dagdag pa nito.

Pinagmasdan lang ni Eli ang asawa at nag umpisang bumilis ang tibok ng puso nito.

"good then, make sure to keep eye on them" He said.

"ok President Max" huling saad ng secretary nya bago lumabas sa office.

Inikot ng binata ang upuan at napaharap ito sa painting sa harapan nya. A blade with a blood on it.

Inikot ulit nito ang kanyang upuan at dinampot ang nag riring na cellphone. Tumayo ito at sinagot iyon.

"Yes, I'll make sure of it" sagot ni Max sa sinabi ng kausap sa kabilang linya.

Naglakad sya papunta sa glass window ng opisina at bahagyang napangiti.

"I'll visit them personally to checked them" dagdag pa nito habang pinaglalaruan ang kanyang daliri.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of them mom" huling saad ng binata bago binaba ang telepono. Pinagmasdan nya muna iyo bago ibinulsa at muling tinitigan ang painting na may perma pa sa parteng baba nito sa kanang bahagi.

Its already 1am at hindi iniinda ng isang babae ang lamig sa maliit na balkonahe ng hotel.

"Sigurado ka ba dyan? Have you talked to your uncle about that?" Tanong nito sa kausap sa telepono.

"I haven't tita and I don't how to tell him, I'm sure na aapoy na naman yan sa galit just like before" Sagot ng kausap nito.

"Yes, we will until we back to manila, thank you Ijo" huling kataga nito bago binaba ang tawag at pinag masdan ang kalangitan.

"We really can't trust everyone, as the betrayal committed by Eve and Adam against God continues to happen repeatedly" She said and look at her husband sleeping at the bed.

"Even friends, family, or anyone close to you are capable of stabbing you in the back" she added before entering the room again.

"Even your own husband can betray you...."

"You can't just easily give away your candidacy in the next election to someone else. You know that my company needs a connections" sigaw ng lalaking kanina pa nag iinit sa galit.

"Im done with your dirty habits, hindi ko na kaya pang Itolerate ka!" Ngitngit ang panga ni Alex at gaya ni Troy ay galit din ang expression nito.

"If you want to rest, then I'll give you a a harmonic burial" he look at his father's eyes before leaving.

The atmosphere of the evening is so heavy, with a lot happening tonight, but inside Yuno's room, only one thing is unfolding.

"Another round?" Calliope asked.

Yuno just smiled, earning a glare from Calliope. They had just finished one round, but it seemed like the young man had endless energy.

"I can't blame myself for being so obsessed with you, Calliope. You seduced me in the first place."

"Wow?" The girl suddenly sat up and looked Yuno in the eyes.

"Why? In the tree house, don't you remember?" Pang aasar ni Yuno at bahagya itong napangiti nang makita ang reaksyon ni Calliope.

"Let me rest" muling nahiga si Calliope at ipinikit ang mga mata.

Tinitigan lang ito nang binata bago nahiga sa tabi nya. Kinapa nito ang cellphone nya sa side table at pinagmasda lang ang lock screen nito.

A picture of him and Calliope during their vacation abroad.

He looked at her and smile once again.

"If loving you is a sin, then I am the sinner"
