Eye to Eye

There was a heavy snowfall outside. Hence, classes at Alen were suspended but Linsky had to fulfill his duty as student's administrator. The Kings launched a new project under the department of Pira. Linsky was studying the budget in construction project management.

He could not concentrate on his work. He dropped the ballpen and looked outside the window. Seemed the bad weather was a reflection of his feeling and current perspective.

Everytime he felt confused it urges him to be with Lina. With just a single words Lina would come rushing into him. They slept together last night. Somehow he was guilty of using Lina's body for physical pleasures. He hated the idea of taking her for granted but as a man he has a weaknesses too. No other woman he knew so far that can equal to the level of Lina's beauty, physique, and sophistication. No other woman can give his satisfaction like Lina does. As a man, he has a manly needs but thereafter the intimacy, the emotions were disappearing too. It became blank space. Then he just wanted to be alone again. No sincere attachment afterwards. He kept trying but it was series of failures. It turned out to be a frustration.

Being distracted for a couple of days now. He was jealous. He went haywire putted blame on Vinz for being with the girl he couldn't keep for himself. As if he knew things about love. Love was out of his vocabulary until it became a different story. What he damn cares was he wanted Meeara to be on his side. Perhaps another Lina's role. However it is more dominant. Meeara and Lina have their own uniqueness. In his eyes, he seen her as an angel in disguise, her sweet voice, blithe smiles, and the calmness on her face had awaken the cold monster inside him. Being with her is just like HOME. Home that he never had.

His childhood was filled with bad memories. He grew up with the golden spoon on his plate but being born to a prominent family means seclusion too. Being a stranger to his parents particularly to his father. He was being controlled in every aspects. He obliged to read lots of books everyday instead of playing in the ground, and be like with any other children. He obliged to be an excellent child whose needed to studied different musical instruments, languages, advancement in information technology, physics, and mathematics. He did not experience the joyous of being an innocent kid who had dirt on his pants. His clothes were all arranged in few colors and with same patterns. Everything was planned future ahead. He has a large amount of money in the banks and all the securities. But that wasn't the case. The issue was the word excellency, as the same thing with his siblings. Luckily, he was grateful to his grandfather Master Aru Luong. Master Luong loved him. The very least he wanted to receive from his father. The real love from a father and son. Master Aru Luong, used to be his guardian who guided him positively.

At the office of Student's Administrator. Someone was knocking at the door. He was expecting Vinz because he received a message from him but he was unresponded.

"Linsky, are you busy? Can we talk?"

Vinz said upon entering the office. They argued over the phone last night.

"Okay, help yourself. " He coldly said.

"It's about Meeara."

"What about her?"

"Here.. she asked me to return this to you. Inside the bag were the things she had worn during Uncle Fed's Birthday." Vinz putted the paper bag on the table.

"Get out of here Vinz!"

Vinz lost his patience, shouted into madness. Returning these pieces of junk were indeed an insult to him. It was her second attempt.

"No need to be in hurry, I will leave after my few reminders. In case you are being insensible. I asked you before that I shall have her if you should not take her seriously, and you agreed with me! So now you are asking me to leave her just like that? How on earth to do that? If you were in my shoes! I have told you that I love her."

What a great courage, bragged about himself. If it's not for the brotherhood. Linsky thought.

"Vinz I did not know you are emotionally imperceptive. Meeara is my woman." Linsky said.

"Oh your woman? I thought your woman is a famous celebrity. The daughter of the Senator. In that case you are pertaining to two different person here, aren't you?"

"Vinz, mind your business, you know me I mean my words. Don't acted like a child here. When I said she's my woman forsooth she is. Are you naive?" Linsky lashed out with anger and threw heavy punches on Vinz's face until he landed on the ground.

When Pira come in, and had controlled of the situation.

"Hey! what's the matter with you guys? Are you two fighting over a girl, unbelievable!"

"Damn you Linsky, then if she's your woman why she's happy with me? Why she accepted my courtship?

Vinz said while touching his left blackened cheek and eyes due to badly attained punches. He wiped the blood strip under his lips.

"I wont fight back this time considering our comradeship but let me tell you one more time. I won't leave her." Vinz walked out the room with heavy footsteps. Shut the door on.

"I have something to discuss with you but I guess it was a wrong timing. Perhaps you can tell me what was happened between you and Vinz." Pira said.

The two Kings ended up in the bar hanging out.

Pira was having two (2) lovely women excorts on his lap at the same time. He heard that women in this VIP's lounge and bar are all professionals. If someone is looking for a novice in this field there are many. But Pira preferred slightly inexperience women, which will costs three times more expensive. But money can buy almost everything except love. Pira and the girls entered into the high-end VIP's suite.

Linsky wasn't interested with them. He was alone in the couch but due to the effects of alcohol in his body after numerous shots of Hennessy Xo cognac drinks. His vision became blurred as if she seen the lady in black punk halter top looked like Meeara.

"Hey you! come here." Vinz was calling the girl who caught his attention.

The girl excitedly came to him.

"Omg, you're so handsome. Are you a real human? I have never seen any guy like you before." The girl was mesmerized.

Ridiculously he kissed this girl and touched her body only to stopped after a few moments. He leave the room with no words.

"Hey, where are you going? Please, come back."

He paid everything using his platinum card and leave a large tips for that girl.
