People on the dance floor parted like how Moises did to the sea. Pero iba ngayon. They parted because of the burning fire that walked to the center like no one of them wanted to get burned by the flames of his anger. He marched like a king holding me like I'm his and when someone tries to take me away from him, he would burn them… But I'm not his. I am the queen of myself. I don't need a king to save me and protect me… because I can.

Hunt was holding me firmly kaya kung sino man ang sumubok na haklitin ako palayo ay hindi nagtagumpay. Hunt was still holding my wrist.

"Teka! Hindi pa tayo tapos!" sigaw noong lalaki.

Sa sobrang inis ko, hinila ko ang kanang kamay ko mula kay Hunt at sinuntok ang lalaki.

Nagsinghapan ang mga nasa paligid. I also saw Red holding Ace's waist.

"Fuck off!" biglaang sabog ko.

He was wiping the blood on the side of his lips. He looked at us darkly before leaving.

Duwag!

Hunt held my hand and pulled me out the bar. Sumunod naman ang mga kasamahan namin. Just that, parties over.

Nang nasa labas na kami, medyo kumalma ako dahil sa ihip ng hangin. We are now in the parking lot.

"You okay?" Hunt asked and let go of my hands.

I smirked and looked at him. You should've asked the guy who received a double punch.

His brows furrowed. Mas lalong nairita sa pagngiti ko. I don't know why, but I like seeing him pissed off.

"Yeah" I said coolly.

He sighed and looked away. Iritado pa rin. Parang hindi lang ako nainis kanina ah. My mood shifted smoothly huh. I guess saving me once won't hurt my ego.

"Astig nung pagkakasuntok ah. Parang humiwalay yung kaluluwa nung manyak eh." Yudis said jokingly.

Tumawa pa at a-apir sana kay Red pero busy ito sa kakabulong kay Ace. Reason why he did not see Yudis' hand.

Nabitin sa ere ang kamay ni Yudis kaya inapir niya na lang ang sariling kamay at tumatango-tango.

Kahit sa seryosong kaganapan, nasisingit niya talaga yang kabaliwan niya.

"I'm sorry for ruining the party." I sighed after a while.

Kakarating ko pa lang gulo na agad ang dala ko. Hindi pa nga ako nakainom.

"I'm sorry as well. Dapat di na kita dinala sa dance floor." si Ace.

Binalingan siya ni Red. Ace pouted and told him some things..

"Even so. A guy who is in his right mind won't just harassed and force someone." Hunt said in his low voice.

"Tama" tumatango-tango na sang-ayon ni Yudis.

Hunt hissed at Yudis reaction. Silence enveloped us. I was already calm, but I don't know with Hunt. He seemed so mad about what happened.

The night wind hugged me. Buti na lang at may jacket ako. I felt safe feeling the air comforting me. It calmed my mind.

I was busy looking around nang mapansin kong wala pala sina Rex at si Rainela. Kanina sa dance floor wala rin sila.

Kumunot ang noo ko at hindi na napigilang magtanong.

"Where's Rainela and Rex?"

Ngayon lang din ata nag-sink in sa kanila na wala nga ang dalawa.

"Oo nga noh? Baka nagtanan?" biro ni Yudis.
