CHAPTER THREE
"OH, I have to go. See you later!" Nagpaalam na ito sa kanila agad at sinalubong ang ibang mga tagahanga.
Vhal was left speechless.
But then, did she just smiled at him and pretended that they've never met?
Nice to meet you
No, it wasn't Natalie. Hindi ito ang inaasahan ni Vhal na muli nilang pagkikita, not in this place, not in this time and not in this situation.
Not...now.
"Hello Valerian" Isang magandang babae na nakasuot ng pulang dress na hanggang singit lang ang ikli. "It's good to see you again"
Hindi maalis ang tingin ni Vhal kay Natalie na abalang kinakausap ang mga tagahanga.
She looks different now. Mas nagmukha itong sophistikada at outclassed.
He could see the difference between the then and now. "Vhal, It's Stacey"
Napabaling siya rito ng biglang kumapit sa mga braso niya ang babae at nagawang idikit ang naglalakihang dibdib nito sa kanya.
Napatingin siya kay Natalie, kapag nakita nito iyon ay paniguradong magagalit--
What the--
Nakikipagtawanan ito sa mga kasama at hindi na nagabalang tignan siya muli't tuluyan ng nawala sa paningin niya.
How could he forget? It's been five years and a lot of things have already changed at isa na doon ang pagkalimot sa kanya.
"So, is it your place or mine?" She flirtatiously asked.
He clenched his fist not because of Stacey but because of her reaction.
Ano bang problema mo, Vhal?
"I'm sorry" Iniwan niya ang babae pati ang pinsang si Riley. He can't explain what he is feeling right now, kanina lang ay gusto niyang magrelax at magenjoy.
He even planned on banging some chicks who's willing to be fucked. He even thought of getting wasted and all but fuck..
Sa isang ngiti niya lang nagbago ang lahat.
"Alone?" Napalingon siya sa babaeng tumabi sa kanya. Unlike Stacey, this lady looks more decent and cool.
Umorder ito sa bar ng maiinom "Do you mind if I join you?" Umiling na lamang siya, who would mind?
"So what's Valerian Fernandez doing here in the bar and drinking alone?" Ininom nito ang Martini na inorder.
He just shrugged his shoulders. Ganito naman ang ginagawa niya sa tuwing gusto niyang makalimot, well sometimes sex, but not now.
He can't even feel his own body after what just happened. Para siyang binuhusan ng kumukulong realidad ng anesthesia kaya namamahid siya ngayon.
"My father said that there's only two reasons when a man drowns himself into liquor." Napatingin siya rito at nakitang nakangisi na ito sa kanya.
"One, he wanted to kill someone and number two, he want to kiss a girl" uminom itong muli at kinagat ang ibabang labi. "So which is which?"
Nakakaintinding nagkatinginan sila. Sa isang iglap ay nasa loob na sila ng kwarto niya at hindi na mahiwalay ang kamay sa isa't isa.
He was wrong to say that this woman is decent and cool when in fact she's so aggressive.
Tinulak siya nito sa kama at pumatong sa ibabaw niya. She was the one who remove her black dress and tossed it to the side.
