To make matters worse, the stranger was now laughing his ass off at my stupidity. "Putangina mo!" sigaw ko sa kanya. My face was already flushed from the alcohol, but it turned a deeper shade of crimson from the sheer embarrassment. But even after I cursed him out, he didn't stop.

Why won't my body cooperate?

Never! --- DAMON I closed my eyes intently as I took a deep breath. That damn brainless bitch is getting into my nerves. Muli akong huminga ng malalim. Buong akala ko magiging madali lang para sa akin na makasama siya sa iisang bubong, nagkamali ako. I feel like I'm living with a little kid with no sense of humor.

“YOU manipulated the Semen Analysis! I lost four years of fatherhood with your goddamn manipulation, Maitha! You made me believe I was a barren man, when, in fact I am not!” Dwight blurted with gritted teeth. He could swear he was fuming mad.

Hindi siya nakasagot sa mga tanong ng reporter tapos mali-mali pa minsan ang grammar niya,” tawa nila at rinig na rinig ko ito sa loob ng cubicle. “He’s so dumb. Buti na lang pogi siya,” komento ng babaeng may hawak ng phone at nanonood ng video.

Sakto namang bumukas ang elevator at dali-daling pumasok, saka dumiretso sa pinakasulok. Napansin iyon ni Damion.

Dumilat ako, dahan-dahan. Si Struve! Matiim na nakatitig sa akin, habang prente itong nakaupo sa harapan ko. Agad na bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko. Napakunot noo ako, what the hell is he doing here?
