PAGKATAPOS makapag-checked-in ni Delon ay agad siyang nagtungo sa roof top ng Ritz Carlton Hotel. Nais niya munang aliwin ang sarili bago maghanda sa convention na dadaluhan kinabukasan.
The last thing he wanted to do was talk to anyone. He switched off his mobile phone when he entered the Ozone lounge bar. He wanted to be alone for a while, free from any destructions.
Sa lugar na walang nakakakilala sa kanya, walang magtatanong ng bakit? Kailan pa? At okay ka lang ba?
Beatrice really hurt his feelings. He thought she would stay with him until forever.
Damn! Forever is just an illusion. Walang forever.
He ordered scotch on the rocks.
Nang dumating ang kanyang alak ay inamoy niya muna ito.
He wanted to discern the aroma from his drink. He looked around the bar. He was impressed with the interior decorations of the whole lounge bar.
Magaling ang naging designer nito na sa pagkakaalam niya ay isang japanese na si Masamichi Katayama. Very daring and challenging ang ginamit na design: man made environment of nature in an imaginary world at the top of one hundred eighteen story building. Hindi lang mga sky rocketing buildings ang makikita sa labas ng mga bintana kundi endless sky. Bahagyang napangiti si Delon sa sarili, kadalasan ay hindi niya napapansin ang itsura at disenyo ng mga bar at hotels na napuntahan niya.
He would just come and go.He was oblivious about his surroundings. But now it was all different, maybe it was the effect of being a heart broken. He sighed then drained his glass and motioned for the bartender to bring over a refill.
"WE are targeting around two hundred million broad band connections by two thousand nineteen, a very vast market to the other part of the world. Thank you so much for your support and participation to our annual top level international convention, I hope you all have safe travels back home. Remembe this words, our market is one of the dynamic market sectors. We need to act in this telecommunications revolution." Closing remarks ng chinese speaker sa dinaluhang convention ni Delon.
Sa buong araw ng kanilang meeting ay pinilit ni Delon na ituon ang kanyang concentration sa naturang conference. Mahalaga sa Vera Wong Global Telecommunications ang mga marketing strategies at insights na na-discussed ng kanilang mga international partnered companies. But seemed his brain cells were not functioning well. He was glad its over. Bukas na siya mag-iisip kung ano ang ilalagay niya sa kanyang post-event wrap up report.
Mabilis siyang kumilos dahil mamayang gabi babalik na siya ng Pilipinas.
To face reality.
How sweet.
HATING-GABI na nang makauwi sa tinutuluyang condo si Delon. Pagkapasok niya sa kanyang unit any dali-dali siyang nagtungo sa kanyang ultra modern bathroom upang maligo. Pakiramdam niya ay lahat ng alikabok sa Hongkong ay nahakot at naiuwi niya ng Pilipinas.
Masama ang pakirmadam niya nang umalis siya ng Hongkong, ni hindi na niya nagawang uminom ng kahit anong gamot. No time, katwiran niya sa sarili.
Pagkatapos niyang i-set ang temperatura ng tubig na nais ay itinapat niya ang hubad na katawan sa ilalim ng dutsa ng tubig. Kung kayang linisin ng tubig ang mga dumi sa kanyang katawam hiling niyang sana may kakayahan din itong alisin ang nararamdaman niyamg sakit na dulot ng rejection sa puso niya. Alam niyang magkikita at magkikita pa sila ni Beatrice.
Paano ba niya ito haharapin?
Would he pretend as if she never been part of his life?Kaya na ba niyang sabihin sa mga kakilala nila na, "She's out of my league".
