And now, a beautiful, charismatic woman came knocking into his door. Inviting him to events that he dislikes attending. Kaagad na 'ayoko' ang sagot niya. But the woman doesn't take 'no' for an answer. She's persistent. She didn't stop until he was nodding his head and saying yes to her invitation. And that irks him. Whatever the reason of his fucked up brain and mouth to say is not going to end well for him. There is a reason why he doesn't attend events. And saying yes to her and attending that event ... It would be one hell of a fight against the demons in his life.

Elevators. Airplanes. Palaman ng Sandwich. Yung feeling na papunta ka pa lang at excited ka pa lang sa pupuntahan mo. Yung feeling na palapit pa lang yung birthday mo.
