After their dinner, Richard went out of their house to meet his friends.

Probably because he needs someone to talked to. And definitely, Rachel isn't the right person for that, for now.


He reached Leo's house and there he heard their laughter.


From there, he knew to himself that he missed them so much.


His horn gets everyone's attention that's why they waved at Richard.

Richard walk straight on where they are seating and greet them one by one.


But as a brother, they can sense that Richard's not fine. Yeah, for always and forever?


"Oh ano na naman yang sisimangutin mong yan?" Leo asked while handling his shot.



He caressed his nape before speaking, "Painumin nyo naman muna ako bago ako magkwento.." He jokes before drinking straight the heavy beer.


"Sus, pampalakas ng loob?" Joey asked naughtily.



Richard can only smile, but it doesn't reached his eyes.


"Huwag ka ngang ngumiti kung di ka masaya!" John added while spunking him.


"Aray naman..." He said as if he's not hurt.


"Aray? Pero mukha ha? Parang di naman na nasaktan? Ano immune na ba?" John continually said.


"Akala ko ba magsasaya tayo ha? E mukhang pagtitripan nyo na naman ako tonight e." Richard moved the topic.



"Magsasaya nga sana. Kaso nakita naming hindi naman masaya ang panget naming brother!" Leo said while pouring a beer.



"Teka, dami-damihan natin ang inom para magkwento na yan. Dali, dali!" John said while handling each a bottle of beer.



And he's definitely correct! After an hour of drinking. Richard started his talks.



"Narinig ko nga kasi.... Tanga to.... Ang sabi ba naman... Ay putcha... Tangina talaga...."



"Putangina Pare, bakit puro mura naman?" Leo asked.



"Eh nakakapamura ee.... Yung asang-asa ka na... Tapos... Tapos.. Tangina! Hindi pa rin palaaaa... Hindi pa rin kaya magtiwala..." He said then he punched the marble table.


He didn't feel any pain on his hand.



And everyone didn't noticed it.


It didn't bleed but for sure, tomorrow it will be swollen.


"Yung halos araw-araw kayong nag eenjoy sa kamaaa, at sa iba't-ibang lugaar.... Tapos sasabihin nya bigla... Hindi pa rin sya nag...titiwala? Eh kung nabuntis ko pala syaaa... Ano? Ilalayo nyaaa yung bataa? Kasi... Kasi... Hindi pa rin syaaa sakin nagtitiwala?" He said still managing himself to talk audibly.


But everyone's seems asleep.


The only thing he could do is to sigh and sleep as well on the bench they're seating.


Rachel on the other hand is being uneasy on her bed.


Richard isn't going home, yet.


And everyone in their house didn't know where he is.



'Richard naman, baka kung saan ka na napadpad.' She thought while flipping back and forth on her bed.
