To him who shines the most, I offer my heart.

"Nonchalant" Yan ang madalas na tingin ni Lotus kay Maserati. Dahil kahit magunaw na ang mundo ay hindi ito magpapakita ng kahit anong ekpresyon. Mananatiling blangko at walang emosyon ang mukha nito. Bukod dun ay napakatahimik nito. Hindi ito magsasalita lalo na kung hindi importante ang pag uusapan. Kaya madalas ay walang pumapansin dito. Pero may isang tao ang interesado sa kanya. Isang tao na napaka-OA sa lahat ng bagay. Isang tao na handang magpatalo para lang sa kanya. Isang tao na gagawin ang lahat mapangiti lang siya. At isang tao na mahal na mahal sya. Kaya lang, ang problema. Ang taong yon ay lalaki din na tulad niya. (Bl/ R+18/Sliceoflife)
