The cloudy night sky blocked the unique sight of the moon. I couldn't take my eyes away from it until I heard footsteps, getting louder and louder just as I saw her walking towards me.

"Ano nanaman ba ang sasabihin mo..?" she looked tired and sleepy but her tone sounded different. A voice tone that can make a person shivered in whatsoever reason.

"Uh, In private." I suggested, casually, not showing how worried and fascinated I am by seeing her state right now.

It's not just her looks, her messy bun or her little hair strands around her face, but her rounded eyes, sparkling like those hidden stars in cloudy sky.

I stopped admiring her beauty when she looked away just as I bit my lip to prevent smiling.

"Hindi na ba private ang tawag dito? Alam mo, kailangan ko na magpahinga. Anong oras na."

"Just give me some minutes." I said quickly and stayed still when she was about to turn around.

"Edi umpisahan mo ng sabihin ngayon,tsk!", boredom could obviously describe her voice tone.

" Get in." she looked hesitant and confused when I immediately opened the door of the car for her. It even took seconds before she looked away and got in.

"Saan ba tayo pupunta?" Our eyes met on rear view mirror and immediately saw her dubious eyes. I couldn't help to smirk by thinking her trust issues are always high when she's with me.

"Dito lang-"

"Sandali" she cut me off, irritated, and slightly rose her left hand, warning me to stop. "Tinawagan mo ako para pa-upuin dito sa backseat at dinigin ang mga sasabihin mo? Nasisiraan ka ba Navi? Kasi kung alam mo lang gusto ko na matulog , kung may sasabihin ka, please lang bukas na, ha?" she muttered impatiently and was about to open the door but stopped when she heard what I said.

"I apologize for what you have seen and heard from that fight." my teeth clenched tightly as I tried hardly to gather the right words to use and set aside my endless ego that has been annoying me from the start. "But before you go, I'm gonna ask you.. Do you want to hear what I knew about you?"

Lian didn't move a muscle like a frozen body from a morgue. She just stared at me blankly on the rear view mirror like she was reaching to read me. From her silence, I could sense that she's suspecting me, well..efficiently, I already expected it earlier while driving.

"Uh-Dude. " after he answered my call, he didn't respond or said anything which was not usual for him,"Dude? You okay there?"

"H-hey."

"You're there?"

"Yeah.", Elix replied. I heard him sigh heavily and the engine started that made me relieved.

"I actually found something..." I started, resting my left elbow on the side of car window.

"What is it? Informations?" he asked, seemed eager to know the answers.

"Nah, just a flash drive. Found it on the floor, in front of the sofa you was seated." I gulped hard, assuming someone who owned it.

"Not mine. Probably, Ern's."

"I would really thought that, but it has 741 code on the side. Ernesto doesn't play with numbers."

"Get it to the point, Finavin."
