Her slender fingers combed his hair affectionately before she landed a warm kiss on his forehead, which he big-heartedly accepted while closing his eyes. While he was enjoying the peacefulness that he constantly searching for and with her soft hand inside his tight grip, she suddenly pulled it away. James instantly removed his head and frowned when she suddenly stood up and walked away without saying a word.

Watching her figure slowly disappeared inside the mist, he started to become panic. James suddenly neither could move nor could called out for her name, causing the tears of fear formed inside the eyes after saw she had walked too far from him.

UNDER the disco light with many people on dance floor, James danced inside his own version world. Girls around him tried the best to catch his attention, but none of them had successfully done so. Alana sat on the bar stool as she watched James from there and she finished her drink before left her seat. With a seductive smile on her luscious lips, she made the way toward him and started to dance along after approaching him. Then Alana boldly placed her long fingers on his chest, tracing the hard muscular on it with intention to seduce him, but James didn't respond toward her temptation.

He danced continuously before his eyes caught her figure was standing on the second floor, causing his body instantly froze when their gazes met. His eyes didn't blink for seconds, for he was afraid she might disappear if he does so. Alana frowned when he suddenly stopped moving, and he looked at one direction with surprise face. She was here. After years, she was here again, coming back for him.

Then she suddenly walked away after threw him sarcastic look, which made James panic when she gradually disappeared from his sight. Not wanting to lose her again, he quickly chased after her, but his steps were too slow since the floor was crowded with people. Alana surprised at his sudden action and sighed in frustration after saw he ran toward the exit door. She failed again to seduce him, which made she stomped her foot before left the dance floor few seconds later.

After leaving the building, James ran and desperately searched her everywhere, running back and forth liked a mad guy just to look at her face once again. His eyes glistened with the mixed emotions of tears; longing, hatred, anger, frustration and love. Even for a second, he wanted to see her again although deep inside him was full of hatred toward her.

"James, what is wrong with you?" James flinched in surprise when Alana patted his shoulder from behind, but she was more surprise to see his pale face. Beads of cold sweat formed on his forehead, and he quickly pressed his temple when felt the sudden painful throb there.

"Nothing. I want to go home now," he said faintly as he made the steps toward Alana's car in frustration. Noticing he wasn't in good mood at all, Alana restrained herself from asking him any question, for she didn't want to make the situation became worse. The silence dominated the space once they entered the car, and Alana glimpsed at him who was already closed his eyes next to her.

"You always like this, James," she mumbled alone but loud enough to be heard by him. Yeah, he always liked this, always in swing mood since five years ago, since that day, the day he received the most painful betrayal in his life.
