Chapter 7.2
Brent's POV
I never thought na dito ko pa sa hotel muling makikita si Jiro. Nakakainis I never known na guest pala sya, so I hurry and walked my self to the front office after our encouter at the basement.
"Good evening Mr. Lee" bati saken ng front desk officer.
"Good evening, can you please check your file, do we have a guest named Jiro Yamada?"
After typing a few seconds....
"We don't have a guest named Jiro Yamada Sir"
"Are you sure?" kakasabi lang ni Jiro na guest sya, why on earth he's name is not registered?
"Okay thanks anyway"
"Your welcome Mr. Lee, do you have other concerns Sir?"
"No more"
Bumalik na ko sa office ko and sat on my swivel chair. If he's one of the guest why is it that he's name did not appear on the record? Only if he's......using another name? napatigil ako sa pag-ikot nang swivel chair about that thought. But what name is he using? That I don't know!
Damn! nakuluom ko ang kamao ko at nabayo ang lamesa sa inis.
Is he taking Kaye back now? Ang kapal naman ng mukha nya kung ganun! Tapos sasaktan lang nya ulit si Kaye? Hindi ako makakapayag!!!
Dapat kong malaman kung anu room nya, but how? Damn!
Since that encounter with Jiro, hindi na ko mapakali, hindi ko alam kung poprotektahan ko si Kaye from Jiro's come back, o hahayaan ko na lang sya since Kaye is very much willing to see and talk to Jiro. Haist! very hard on my part.

Kaye's POV
I'm still here at the hotel cafeteria, nag-iisip over a cup of coffee, ubos ko na kainin ang inorder ko na food. Nagutom ata ko, samantala wala naman ako masyado ginawa. Or dahil sa iniisip ko kaya nagutom ako ng husto.
"Jacob Kho...."
"Jacob Kho...." paulit ulit na bumubulong sa isip ko.
"Ikaw ba talaga si Jiro? "
"But what if Jiro's alalay is named Jacob Kho?"
"But the fact that he is with Jiro last night at the Bar & Casino, I should confront him coz he's something to do with Jiro"
"Tama! I should confront him na, lakasan na lang ng loob, bahala na"!
Tumayo na ko and make my way to the service elevator going up to the 61st floor where the public pool is located.
*Ting* 61st Floor
Automatic na nagbukas ang sliding door palabas sa pool area, madami pa rin ang tao kahit na gabi na. Maganda kasi ang view sa labas, over looking the city of Manila and Manila Bay.
Hinanap agad ng mga mata ko ang table kung saan makikita ko si Mr. Kho. Pero I'm having a hard time finding them so I quickly ask the pool attendant.
He pointed to a table at one corner near the glass wall. Pero wala naman ako makita na tao dun, lumapit pa ko.
Nakita ko sa table ang mga pagkain na inorder ko sa room service. So he must be here but maybe he's already done with his foods. Haist!
Dumiretso ako sa Emerald suite, without knocking on the door, I opened the door and look for Mr. Kho inside. But no sign not even a shade of Mr. Kho.
To my dismay, napaupo na lang ako sa bed. Laglag ang pag-asa na muli ko makikita si Jiro. But its not yet late, hindi pa naman siya nagchecheck-out I'm not yet hopeless.
Lumabas na ko sa suite ni Mr. Kho and just stay at the chamebermaids quarter where some of the graveyard shift staff's can take their rest.

Jiro's POV
"muntik na tayo dun" lumabas na ko sa ilalim ng lamesa, buti na lang at umalis agad si Kaye. Pinagpawisan talaga ako ng malamig. Im not yet ready to face her.
"anu boss? san na tayo ngayon?"
"anu pa! eh di idrive mo sasakyan mo, or if you want magstay ka na lang dito, babalik na ko sa condo" umalis na ko, hindi ko na hinintay pa magsalita si Ben.
Maingat ako na lumabas nang hotel, ayoko na maulit yung nangyari kanina and drive going back to Kho's Garden Heights.
Papasok na ko ng elevator, when the door opens sakay nito si Sasha, baka pauwi na sya, malamang sa alamang alam nyo na kung saan sya galing.
I step inside, and press 10. Nakakainis hindi pala bumaba si Sasha nang elevator. I saw her papalapit saken. "Hi Jake"... eeew kadiri. Jake? WTF* this girl calls me Jake. Brrr... Hindi ko pa rin sya pinapansin.
"Bakit ba you're so suplado ha?" I just smirk at her. Filty woman!
"I like you Jake, you know that!" she's saying that while she's caressing me at my back. Errrr nangingilabot ang mga laman ko sa inis. Sa inis ko naihampas ko ang kamay nya palayo saken.
"Ouch!"
"Will you please! Stop flirting on me?"
"Hahaha Jake"
"Don't you call me Jake! Its Jacob! Where not even close"
"What do you want me to do to be closer to you huh? " "Like this" he pull me hard to get more closer to her that I can even feel her breathing, her lips just an inch away from mine.
*Ting*
Nakahinga ako ng maluwag when the door opened. Makakawala na din ako sa malanding babaeng ito.
"wait Jake...."
She grabs my hand as I approach going out of the elevator.
''what the hell you want?" yelling on her
"simply you!"
"Hush!" Whatever, why don't you just go to Papa, sya na lang iflirt mo not me. Okay"
I press the >II< button, para magclose na ang elevator and walk my way to the door of my pad.
"Haaaayyyy" sabay bagsak lang ng katawan ko sa malambot ko na kama.
"Kaye...."
I look at the picture frame standing at the table beside my bed. Its our family picture.
"Darating din ang tamang oras saten Kaye."
I whispered goodnight to the picture frame and close my eyes.
