Blaster headed straight to the sports lounge near the bar area inside the TZ Club and looked for someone to play billiards with, since Clydeur hadn't arrived yet. The sports lounge was filled with the sounds of various games, including darts, billiards, quarters, beer pong, board games, and arcades.
"Pucha naman! Gumilid pa," humalakhak si Blaster nang hindi niya maipasok ang bola sa pangatlo niyang tira.
"Do you come here often?" asked Conrad, the man he had a bet with as he positioned himself to strike. Walang ideya si Blaster kung sino ang lalaking kalaro dahil itinuro lang siya ng isang babae nang matanong niya kung sinong pwedeng lumaban sa kaniya.
"Used to. Kakilala ko ang may-ari ng bar na 'to kaya order ka lang ng drinks, bro. It's on me."
"Sabi mo 'yan, ha? Sige, tira mo na," Conrad called the waitress when it was Blaster's turn to play and ordered a more expensive drink.
Blaster put the billiard chalk on the pool table and closed his right eye as he positioned his cue stick. He steadied his hand and aimed carefully. Blaster made trick shots, nearly clearing the table, until he made a safety shot that left Conrad with a difficult shot.
"Tang'nang 'yan," Conrad laughed as he examined the last billiard balls. Nagawa niyang ipasok sa pocket ang isa, ngunit nahirapan na siya sa sumunod.
Blaster clinked his drink with Conrad's before taking the final strike. Lalong lumakas ang hiyawan nang manalo si Blaster. Natawa namang umiling ang kalaban nang iabot ang pera matapos tanggapin ang pagkatalo.
"Until our next game, Blaster," he said said as he tapped Blaster's shoulder.
Blaster was confused that Conrad knew his name but acted cool, thinking the waitress might have mentioned it earlier.
Blaster headed straight to the VIP room after telling a staff member to bring more drinks inside, where Clydeur was already waiting. Blaster's face became serious as he remembered the question he needed to ask Clydeur—whether Vinassy and Lander had really been in a relationship in the past.
Clydeur immediately stood up upon seeing Blaster enter the room. He greeted him warmly, while Blaster nodded in return as he took a seat in front of him.
"What's our business tonight?" he asked, watching Blaster pour the drinks into two glasses.
"This is about Vinassy..." Clydeur's expression remained neutral but when Blaster mentioned Lander Fiezo, his expression changed.
"What is it that you want to know?" Clydeur asked before he took a sip of his drink.
"Nagkaroon ba sila ng relasyon ni Lander noon bago naging kami, Clyde?"
"What's with the 'Clyde'? Si Vinassy lang ang tumatawag sa akin niyan, stop calling me that."
Blaster let out a sigh, "You didn't answer my question."
"They just attended the same school, but they never had a romantic relationship. Isa pa, kilala ko halos lahat ng mga nagkagusto sa kaniya. Iba ang lalaking nagconfess sa kaniya bago naging kayo, at hindi si Lander iyon," he answered, placing his drink down on the table.
Blaster's eyes narrowed. "Sino naman?"
"Are you going to believe me if I say that..." Clydeur paused.
"Na ano? Tang'na, alam mong ayokong nabibitin."
"That Vincent Rialde used to court Vinassy." napangising sagot ni Clydeur.
"Tangina si 11th?! Paano nangyari 'yon?"
"Are you really sure that Vincent Rialde is 11th?" makahulugang tanong ni Clydeur.
