"Marcus, tuloy ba kayo mamaya sa inuman?" tanong ni lea nagulat naman si marcus sa tanong niya simula ng mawala si josh ay hindi na siya sumama sa kanila khit anong gimik.

"Ah eh oo sasama ka ba?" nag aalangang sagot nito.

"Kala ko ba hndi tuloy?" pabulong na tanong ni phobie.

"Ano ka ba para kay lea kahit jowa ko pa kapalit tutuloy ko to,"

"Sige sasama ako mamaya," napayakap naman si marcus sa kanya.

VALKYRIE ROYAL BAR

"Tara dito kayo pina-reserve ko to para sa inyo," bungad ng manager, kilala ito ni marcus sa bar.

"Ay salamat, pahingi kami ng apat na kamikazee pakitapangan yung tequila ha,"

"Okay no problem,"

Nagce-cellphone lang si lea habang nag iinum ng biglang may mag salita sa stage malapit sa kinaroroonan nila.

"Calling the attention of everyone l want you to meet one of my bestfriend and shareholder of this bar Mr. JOSH MANLAPAZ!!" umalingaw-ngaw sa tenga ng magka-kaibigan ang narinig.

'Nagkamali ba sila ng narinig?'

'Kapangalan lang ata?'

'J-josh...'

Parang lalong umugong ang lakas ng tugtog sa bar sa narinig ni lea.

"l think we need to go somewhere para boring dito sa bar," basag agad ni marcus, she is looking at Lea, while lea is still looking at her phone but she wasn't really focus at it.

But the sorrounding feels like in a carnival ride it's a mix of emotion, parang gusto niyang magwala sa loob ng bar, biglang tumulo ang luha niya ng na parang ayaw ng huminto kahit anong punas ang kanyang gawin. Agad namang napansin ni marcus.

"Lea tara na?! Boring dito no!" yaya ni phobie.

"Are you aware of this guys," tanong ni lea. Kaya't napatigil sila.

"Of course not!" punas ng pawis si marcus ramdam niya ang emosyon ni lea.

"Good then let's go its not just boring here people here is also making me uncomfortable!" and she stood up.

Habang binabaybay nila ang palabas ng bar, napansin sila ng manager ng bar na paalis at tinawag sila nito gamit ang microphone ng DJ.

"Oh hey, marcus, lea, and phobie the party was just started why are you leaving so soon," they just ignore him but josh are able to catch the name and also saw the girl.

The woman he was asking every night to forgive him and also aiming for the chance to explain everything but what is happening to him, he can't move his feet he can't run to catch lea, so he took the microphone to the manager of the bar.

"LEA STOP!!" lea still continue walking towards the exit she don't want to listen, all she knew is she wants to go home and cry.

That when josh decided to move and catch the woman of his life.

Hinabol siya ni josh at inabutan siya sa parking lot ng bar.

"Lea, please l'm not expecting a warm welcome from you, l just want to clear myself here please let me ex--" lea stop walking made josh to pause talking.

"T*NG IN*! KAPAL NAMAN NG MUKHA MO AT NAG EXPECT KA PA NG WARM WELCOME, TSAKA WHO THAT STUPID PERSON FROM HE*L TOLD YOU THAT I AM INTERESTED WITH YOUR EXPLANATION F*CK THOSE D*MN WHO CARE ABOUT IT!!" lea can't help herself to cry but she's in a deep pain and can't stop to cry.

"l know galit ka or galit na galit, maybe you can even kill me with just your bare hand pero nakahanda akong tanggapin pero believe me MAHAL NA MAHAL KITA ITS JUST THAT --" agad na lumapit si lea kay josh para pagsasampalin ito at pagsusuntukin pero hndi man lang ito sinalag ni josh.

"lt's just that?! Ano tang*na naman josh ano wala ka nanaman bang mapagtripan kaya ako nanaman naisip mong gaguhin?! Please naman iba naman wag na ako maawa ka na naman sa dinanas kong sakit sana pinatay mo na lang ako!"

Hindi naman makaawat si phobie at marcus, they want pero mas pinili na lang nila ang huwag nakialam.

Napasalampak si Lea sa kalsada habang nakahawak sa mukha niya at umiiyak, itinayo naman sya agad ni phobie at inilayo kay josh, nang makakita si phobie ng taxi pinara agad nya ito, josh try to stop them but marcus didn't let him.

"Please josh, l don't think this is the right time," napaiyak lalo si josh pero inunawa na lang niya ang sitwasyon.

"What ever your explanation is might just became nonsense pag pinilit mo, to tell you honestly lea is still on the process of moving on and bigla kang dumating you can't expect her na maunawaan agad yun agad. Para kang umapak sugat na pagaling palang sana mas masakit yun sana noon pa nung nagtatanong pa siya bakit para kang multo na naglaho,"

"Please l saw her dying on pain, please josh don't kill my bestfriend again please", napaiyak na din si marcus.
