CLHOE's PoV

"Where is she?" I said, asking myself na kanina pa hindi makali sa kinatatayuan ko.

"She'll be here, Clhoe. Calm yourself." Pagpapakalma sakin ni Mei and she rolls her eyes on me. This girl, really.

"What if something bad happened to her?! Gabi na kaya Mei, and we're here outside of this damn bar!" Sigaw ko at inirapan na naman niya ako.

"Geez. Just calm your horses, will you?!" Sigaw naman niya pabalik.

"Ang lakas ng loob mong yayain kaming dalawa dito! How about Alv?! What if he discovered?!" Tinakpan naman niya agad ang bibig ko at bumulong na huwag daw akong maingay. Inirapan ko nalang siya at nagtuloy-tuloy ang pag aaway naming dalawa.

"Guys!" Sigaw ni Louise mula sa malayo, kaya naman napatigil kaming dalawa sa pag aaway.

"Louisee! Oh my gosh!" Niyakap ko kaagad siya ng mahigpit.

"Kakakita lang natin kahapon, babae. Omg, hello Louise! Looking good! I knew it! That dress looks good on ya!" Siniko ko nalang si Mei habang yakap-yakap niya si Louise.

"Lets go inside?" Tumango naman silang dalawa at pumasok na agad kami sa private bar kung saan ay VIP members lang ang pwedeng pumunta dito. We always come here whenever we had free time from our work.

LOUISE's PoV

Dumiretso agad kaming tatlo sa dance floor at sumayaw. Nagpaalam muna ako na kukuha ng drinks sa bar kaya pumunta na ako at um-order ng wine. I don't usually drink alcohol at a times like this, mahirap na at baka may masamang mangyari sa amin dito. Even though this bar only let VIP members inside, you still cant trust anyone who comes here.

Nagpaalam ako sa dalawa na pupunta ng rooftop para magpahangin. Ang daming tao sa loob and it's making me dizzy, so I always come here to relax my mind.

Napatulala ako sa ganda ng tanawin, and it's making me think about him again. So I shake my head but I still can't stop thinking about him. The memories keeps coming back and its making me weak. I know the times that I've spent with Sven doesn't have that much memory to remember, but still, that time made me feel alive. He made my world complete, but he also made my world shattered.

So I let out deep sigh and think about the old times. I wish those times will come back again but Im afraid not. Im now 22 years old, I already have my own job in one of the most famous companies in the world and my Mom already have her own small business near to our house.

"Louise! Oh my gosh! Thank goodness you're here. I thought may kumidnap na sayo or something!" Lumingon ako sa likod kung saan nandon si Mei at Clhoe.

"Pasensya na guys, kinailangan ko lang ng hangin." Sagot ko, ngumiti naman silang dalawa sakin at lumapit sa kinatatayuan ko.

"It's alright, and Im sorry too for bringing you here again." Umiling ako at sinabing okay lang yon.

"Ang bilis ng panahon no? Walong taon na ang nakalipas nung umalis siya. He didn't even say goodbye." Sabi ko at naramdaman ko na napatingin silang dalawa sakin.

"I know. It hurts so much." Sagot naman ni Mei.

"I know he has his reasons but..." hindi ko napigilan at napaiyak nalang ako. I know for damn sure that he has a reason why he left. I know for damn sure na gusto niyang bumalik, makita ako, at makapag goodbye man lang sakin noon. But ganon parin ba ngayon? Meron parin ba siyang feelings para sakin? What should I do if he suddenly come back? The fears keep crept into my mind.

Naramdaman ko nalang na niyakap ako ng dalawa at I know for sure na umiiyak din sila ngayon. Nag stay kami sa rooftop ng mga dalawang oras habang umiiyak, then when we stop, we decided to go back inside the bar and have fun.
