THIRD PERSON POV
In the middle of the night, both of them was lost. Trying to figure out their thoughts, worrying about what will happen next. They're both hurting, they can't even listen to each other.
"Come on, Raf! Let's dance!" A drunk and wild Stella Clarey grabbed Rafael in the dance floor.
She doesn't care for anything and anyone at this moment. For herself, she felt betrayed and hurt about Bong and his wife.
Ang nasa isip niya lang, "Kung pwede pa rin pa lang tumabi at makipag landian sa ex tulad ng ginawa ng pangulo, bakit hindi niya gawin?"
She swing her hips to dance, shouting with thr music and just enjoying the whole moment.
"Ang saya! Raf, buti ka pa... nasasamahan ako at pwede akong sabayan sa mga trip ko!" Hindi niya rin alam kung bakit niya ito nasabi, halata rin kay Rafael na nalilito ito.
"Hindi ka ba masabayan ng bago mo?" tanong ni Rafael, sobrang lapit nila sa isa't isa para magkaintindihan dahil sa sobrang ingay.
Natawa si Stella, "Hell, hindi nga eh!"
Nang dahil sa sagot ni Stella, napagtanto ni Rafael na tama nga ang lahat ng nararamdaman at hinala niya. Meron na ngang bago si Stella, may iba na itong minamahal.
Napatitig naman kaagad si Rafael sa daliri ni Stella.
She was not wearing the ring he saw...
"Come on, Ravello! Ano tititigan mo lang ako?! Sumayaw ka!" ani Stella at mabilis na pinalupot ang mga braso niya sa leeg nito.
Wala na siyang pakielam sa kung anong ginagawa niya. Wala na siya sa wisyo. Tanging epekto na lamang ng alak ang nararamdaman niya.
The last time she was like this — drunk and wild, was on her college days.
Nang dahil sa dami ng tao na nasa dance floor, halos magdikitan na ang lahat. Ni wala na silang kontrol sa kung anong mga ginagawa nila.
The ex lovers dancing so wild and hot, touching each other like they were so intimate and flirt.
As the whole place became loud and hot for both of them. They just saw each other looking at each other's eyes. Stella's hands on Rafael's shoulder and Rafael's hands on Stella's waist.
As soon Rafael's hands slowly went down on Stella, she just felt his hands making touch on her butt.
"Raf..." he whispered.
Rafael stopped himself. He was supposed to make space to her but Stella stopped him by holding his hands and pulling him walking outside the bar.
"Take me home." she told him.
Walang imik na pagewang-gewang na pumasok ng sasakyan si Stella kung saan sumunod lamang si Rafael. Nakaramdam din ng inis si Rafael sa sarili dahil hindi niya napigilan ang sarili kay Stella.
Napabuntong-hininga si Stella nang makarating sila sa bahay niya. Kaagad niyang binuksan ang mga alak na nasa ref at binigyan niya pa si Rafael.
