[Chapter 40]
Third Person's POV
Carver open the door of his room and enter. Agad na napahilamos niya ang kanyang palad sa kanyang muka. He can still see Tara's face. It's full of disappointment. He felt bad for what he just did a while ago. But why did he felt bad? He never felt bad on his actions towards anyone, why the sadness in Tara's face affects him?
"What the fuck was that." He whispered as he went towards his desk. Kaagad siyang nagsalin ng alak sa baso at ininom iyon.
He was tired of chasing the trace of Lertex for the whole day but still failed to know his whereabouts. He went home tired as hell and all he wanna do is to rest but on his surprise he saw Tara. It looks like she was patiently waiting for him to come home, thinking that make his tiredness disappear in an instant. It was the first time someone waited for him just to ask him to go in an amusement park, someone who wants him to take a break.
"Yea i should." He nodded and take out his phone from his pocket and dialed his assistant's number.
"Rio i want you to buy something." He said as soon as his assistant answered his phone.
[Tara's POV]
"Come on Tara." Pagtawag sa akin ni Matilda sa labas. Ala una na ng hapon at paalis na kami para pumunta sa Lalaland.
Wala si Carver sa bahay dahil maaga ulit itong umalis kanina. Sinabi ko na rin kay Matilda ang tungkol sa nangyari kagabi at sinabi niyang hayaan na lang namin si Carver.
"Hindi rin naman ako umaasang sasama yun kaya hindi na rin ako nagulat."
"Come on why are you sad?" Tanong sa akin ni Matilda ng makalabas ako ng bahay. Papasakay na kami sa kotse kung nasaan sila Xiara at ang iba pa.
Umiling ako kay Matilda. "Hindi ah."
"Hmm tara na!" Nakangiting bumungad sa amin si Xiara sa loob ng sasakyan.
Bumukas ang pinto ng sasakyan at dumungaw si Niall sa bintana."Teka si boss nasa likod."
"Huh?" Lumingon din si Matilda sa likuran ng sasakyan.
Tumaas ang kilay ko ng makita ang mamahaling sasakyan ni Carver sa likuran ng kotseng sasakyan namin. Kakarating lang nito at kakahinto pa lang kaya hindi rin namin kaagad napansin.
"Didn't you say he won't come?" Kunot noong baling sa akin ni Matilda. Tumango naman ako sa kanya.
Bumukas ang pinto ng kotse at lumabas si Carver. He's not wearing his usual attire, instead he was wearing his casual outfit. A brown pants and a plain white shirt.
"Get in." Aniya habang nakatingin sa akin. He looks away when our eyes met. Hinipo niya pa ang batok niya.
"Are you coming?" Nanlalaking mga matang tanong ko. Tumingin siya sa akin at marahang tumango. Gumuhit ang ngiti sa labi ko.
"Sige na Tara dun kana kasi medyo masikip na kung dito ka pa samin." Nilingon ko ang nakasilip paring si Niall sa bintana. Nakita ko ang naiiritang mukha ni Xiara dahil nakaharang si Niall sa harapan niya.
"Oo dun kana baka magbago pa ang isip niya." Ngiting saad ni Matilda. Tumango nalang ako at nagtungo na sa diresyon ni Carver.
"I thought you wouldn't change your mind." Hindi niya ako pinansin at nauna na pumasok ng kotse. Bumuntong hininga na lang ako at sumunod na sa kanya.

Carver was thinking if he's going or not. Does he really need to go? If he won't go does the sadness still remains on Tara's face? If he decided to join them will it be replaced with a smile?
