NAKARATING NA sa venue si Kim Mickey. Her agents were shocked when they found out what happened to her. They couldn''t blame her of anything at all. "That's ok Ms. Kim. The important thing is that you're here now at walang nangyari sainyo na masama."
"Yes. That's what I'm looking forward too." Sagot niya sa isa pa niya'ng katiwala sa kompanya.
"Mr. Lua." Tawag niya sa isa pa niya'ng agaent na siya naring tumatayo'ng kanang balikat niya.
"YEs Ma'am?" Saka lumapit sa kanya ang kuwarenta-anyos na matanda'ng lalake.
"Is everyone already here?"
"Yes. Except for Mr. Shaw. He hasn't yet arrived."
"Bakit?" Tila na-dis-appointed pa siya noong matanong ang matanda.
"Well, according to his crew. Mr. Shaw, isn't familiar with Quezon. I guess his having problems locating our venue."
"Is that so?" Haist!!! Siya pa naman ang gusti ko ma-meet ngayon. Ano na???!
"But, I'm sure he'll be here. I already talked to his Managar. He said he will definately come."
Tila napawi agad ang tampo'ng nadarama ni Kim Mickey noong marinig ang balita'ng iyun. "So, his coming..."
"Yes, Ma'am. He will be here." Ito lang ay nag-paalam na ang limang loyal agents niya sa kanya. She has to look good infront of everyone, especially para kay BILLION SHAW. It will be an embarrassing moment for her if he'll going to see her soaked like she is now.
"OK!, I will prepare for him, alright." Napagiti siya'ng tinahak ang hallway ng Hotel Inn Kung saan held ang kanilang appointment sa binata. There are also reserved rooms for everyone. So, if ever he will like BILLION SHAW, then the next move wouldn't be difficult for her.

"Throw me away, forget yesterday...They don't know us anyway.....What you play, yeah everytime...Where finally free...Tonight...." Saka palang napansin ni Shaw na kangina pang nag-riring ang cellphone niya. Mashado kasi siya'ng abala sa kakaisip. Naiimbeyerna siya dala ng mga nasabi ng babae na iyun sa kanya. Hindi niya maintindihan kung bakit nag-li-linger parin ang mga pinag-sasabi noon sa kanya. "Nag-alala pala siya, dapat pala tumawag man siya ng ambulansya kaisa naman...." HAIST!!!
"Paper bags and plastic hearts, our belong in shopping carts...." Ring muli sa unang stanza ng cellphone niya. HAIST!!! Agad na niya iyung sinagot. "Hello?"
"Yo'?"
"Hey, what's up?"
Narinig niya itong napa-tawa sa kanilang linya. "Asan kana?"
"I'm sorry man. May nagyari kasi kangina sa akin. Pero ok na ako."
"What do you mean may nangyari saiyo?" Tila nawala na ang amusement sa tinig nito. Napalitan na iyun nang-pag-aalala.
"I'll tell you that when I get there. Tell everyone that I'm on my way, Don't worry ok?"
"Araseo! But you have to tell me everything about it first."
Siya naman ang napangiti. Hindi talaga ito nag-papahuli pag tungkol sa kanya na ang balita. "Ok. I'll tell you about it."
"Ikaw talaga, lagi mo na lang ako pinag-aalala." Reklamoi pa nito sa kanya.
"Ows?, Bakit may mag-aalala ba talaga sa akin kapag may nagyari sa akin?" Hamon pa niya rito.
"YAH?!, Gusto mo bang mabatukan diyan???"
