Napagdesiyunan ng dalawa na magayos sa sari-sarili nilang condo, at napagdesiyunan din nila na susunduin ni Chase si Ara ng 7pm.
Inilapag na ni Ara ang kanyang dadamitin para mamaya, tinitigan niya ito habang nagb-blower ng kanyang buhok dahil kakatapos lang itong maligo.
She doesn't even know what she feels right now, she's so conflicted with herself, she has too many thoughts, her mind is hazy right now.
She breathed in and out to calm herself, tonight, you'll attend a party, Chase will be your date and that's it.
Easy as that.
Why is she suddenly nervous in the first place? Hindi niya alam. Pati nga siya nalilito din eh.
She also received a text from her sister, pinapatanong daw ng kanilang ama kung tutuloy na ba talaga si Ara sa party ng mga Asuncion and she confirmed.
Siya na ang pupunta in behalf of the Saavedras, it's actually the first time in quite some time that she'll be the one to go, usually kasi si Yra ang pumupunta dahil busy si Ara sa med school dati.

She fixed herself fully before leaving her room, she was wearing the red dress, black stilettos, and some matching diamonds to shine a little.
She fixed her hair to a messy but elegant looking bun, so the details in the dress can be shown fully, medyo mababa din ang likod ng damit niya, that's why her bare shoulders are out.
After some time she heard a knock, si Chase na siguro.
Pagbukas niya ng pinto, hindi na siya nagulat, Chase was wearing a long sleeved white polo that 3 buttons were unbuttoned, and some black slacks, he was hanging his matching coat in his arm.
Chase stayed silent for a few seconds before talking.
"L-lets go?", anyaya sakanya nito.
Ngumiti naman si Ara bago kinuha ang kamay ni Chase na nakaharap sakanya at nagpaubaya.

The ride was oddly silent, until Chase's phone rang and he answered it and put it in speaker mode.
"Where are you bro?", tanong ni Bolt.
"On the way,"
"You with Ara, right?", tanong sakanya nito.
"Yep," Chase replied.
"Alright then, see you here," anito.
Ara reassessed herself before bringing a topic to talk about.
"Are you the only one going?", tanong ni Ara kay Chase na nakatingin sa daanan.
"I think, mom and dad aren't sure, and Brie doesn't usually like this stuff, it has always been like that," Chase briefly explains at tumango naman ng kaunti si Ara upang ipahiwatig na nakikinig siya sa sinabi ni Chase.
Hanggang sa nakarating sila'y unti-unting nawala yung pagiging awkward nila sa isa't-isa, sinalubong sila ng isang guard sa labas ng venue.
After that, they went inside and saw people talking, drinking champagne and more talking.
A middle aged woman in a silver gown approached them.
"Oh my god Chase, hijo! And Ara! I never knew na kayo parin pala, wow you're really going strong! Are you engaged na ba already?", sunod-sunod na tanong sakanila ng ginang.
"N-no.." medyo nauutal na sinagot ni Ara.
Bago pa man nila maexplain ano ang kanilang relasyon.
Sa dami ng kanilang nakilala, halos lahat pareho ang tanong.
At sa kalagitnaan ng kanilang usapan, bigla nagsalita si Chase, nakatingin ito kay Ara.
"It's crazy how many people thought we were still together," they don't know how they came up with that rather than just be 2 millennials. Naging classmate sila dati
"Why don't we just make it real?", anyaya sakanya ni Chase na lubos niyang ikinagulat.
