Owen roamed around his eyes inside the ballroom. His been looking for someone for more than five minutes. Na-late siya ng dating dahil may dinner meeting siya kanina na hindi puwedeng i-cancel.

He was about to picked up his phone para tawagan ang dalaga when his eyes settled on the woman, kahit nakatalikod ito he knew it was her. Sa ilang linggo niya itong kasama kabisado na niya ang kurba ng katawan nito. Kilala niya na tindig pa lang nito. Kahit nakatalikod pa ito. Naningkit ang mga mata niya nang makita ang suot nitong damit.

Damn!

His face darkened when he saw a guy approached her. Seems like the guy knew her. He hates the idea that someone is talking to his girlfriend. His jaw clenched when the guy tried to hold her hand but she's trying to pushed him away.

He gritted his teeth as he walked towards them.

Uhuh, not my property.

Inilibot ni Karrie ang paningin baka sakaling nakarating na ang binata but still she couldn't find him. Babalik na lang muna siya sa parents nito.

Akmang hahakbang na siya ng may lumapit sa kanya.

"Nice to see you here. It's been a while babe." She was stilled on the man who's standing in front of her.

"J—Johnson, what are you doing here?" Dati rati sa tuwing nakikita niya ito she will be filled with happiness. Her heart would beat faster. But not anymore. Finally, she could say now she totally have moved on. She's happy on that thought.

"I'm invited too. A small world isn't it? The last time I checked you're not fond of going into this kind of party." Nakangiti ito sa kanya ng matamis.

Ngumiti siya dito. "People change, just like you. You look...." Pinasadahan niya ito ng tingin mula ulo hanggang paa bago muling nagsalita. "Like a mess." Humaba ang balbas at bigote nito which actually hindi nito gawain. Mukha itong haggard and problematic, he has dark circles under his eyes. mukhang hindi na yata ito natutulog but she doesn't care anyway.

"This is all because of you. I can't sleep thinking how to win you back. Please babe forgive me. Let's start over again." He's pleading and begging to her pero ni awa wala siyang maramdaman. Nothing.

"I'm sorry but you're asking for impossible." Aniya na napailing pa.

"What's impossible with that? We could go back just like we were before. I promise I won't hurt you again. I promise." pagsusumamo nito. Nagulat siya ng hawakan nito ang kamay niya.

"Let go of me." pilit siyang kumawala.

"Not until you say yes." He's desperate.

"No, I won't. I have a boyfriend already." Natigilan ito sa sinabi niya. Mataman siyang tiningnan kung nagsasabi ba siya ng totoo o hindi.

"You're lying! Sinasabi mo lang 'yan para pasakitan ako. Right? Tell me, you're lying. Tell me!" Halos tumaas na ang boses nito. Salamat sa malakas na tugtog dahil wala masyadong nakapansin. She could see pain in his eyes.

"Bitawan mo 'ko. You're hurting me." Napahigpit ang hawak nito sa kanya. Napangiwi siya.

"Let her go before I'll break your arm." Anang matigas na boses sa likuran nila.

Nanlaki ang mga mata niya ng makita si Owen.

"Honey!" She saw him stilled sa pagtawag niya dito.

Binitawan naman siya ni Johnson at madilim ang mukhang hinarap ang binata.

"Siya ba?" Umigting ang panga nito.
