                Mabilis na ibinaling ni Andie ang pansin sa nagmamay-ari ng pangalang isinigaw ni Kian kangina. Nagmamadaling ikinubli naman ni Mark ang sarili sa mga kotseng nakaparada sa may gilid ng daan. He sits  uncomfortably behind those cars while feeling the faster beats of his heart.

                Argh, Kian!!! I'm gonna f***ing kill you, you cheeky bastard!!! >_________<

                                "Oh, w-where is he?"

                Pilit na tinunton ni Kian ang lugar kung saan niya nakita ang kaibigan. Patuloy pa ring nililinga-linga ni Andie ang paningin sa paligid ngunit wala naman siyang nakita. Muli niyang ibinalik ang pansin sa binata at sumagot.

                                "Uhm, as what I've said a while ago, there's no Mark living on this house. Patrick is the name of the owner actually."

                Patrick?! *his eyebrows slightly furrow, wondering and trying to understand what Andie have said*

                Saglit na natahimik si Kian, animo'y iniisip niya ang mga salitang binitiwan ni Andie maging ang pangalan ng nagmamay-ari ng bahay ng kaibigang si Mark.

                Patrick...

                Patrick... *thumps his chin, thinking deeply*

                Have I heard that name before?

                Wait, wait---

                *a familiar PING! suddenly lights his mind*

                Ah, right! F***! *smacks his lips in total dismay*

                His gaze accidentally caught someone from afar as soon as he realizes what Andie really meant. He saw Mark again on the said place where he'd seen him a while ago. This time, Mark is now standing while trying to say something at him; gesturing like he slashes his throat telling,

                I'm not fecking MARK in here, YOU BASTARD! My f***ing name's PATRICK and Andie knows me as fecking and bloody PATRICK! *opens his eyes more wider while clenching his teeth*

                Agad namang naintindihan ni Kian ang sinasabing iyon ng kaibigan kaya't hindi na siya nagpatumpik-tumpik na sumagot.

                                "R-Right, haha! Y-Yeah! Uhm, I-I'm sorry Andie. I-I was just knackered, that's all. W-What I mean is my mate, PATRICK, lives here! Yeah! His name's Patrick!"

                Hindi nalingid kay Andie ang pag-iiba ng tono ni Kian sa pagsasalita nito especially when his pitch up a notch while mentioning Patrick's name.

                Ano ban'g problema ng 'sang 'to at parang nakainom? *raises her eyebrows* Gwapo ka pa naman pero, you sounded like a drunk sod in the pubs drinking from morning 'till dawn... *pouts, feeling a bit disappointed on Kian's physical looks*

                Bahagyang natawa na lang si Andie sa naisagot ni Kian habang napakamot na lamang ng ulo ang binata sa mga salitang binitiwan. Sasagot na sana siyang muli nang masagi ng kanyang mga mata ang papalapit na si Mark.

                                "PATRICK!!!"

                Nahalata agad ni Mark ang tila pagkasarkastiko sa tinig ng kaibigan kaya't may pamimilosopong sinagot niya ang ka-bandmate
