He opens his eyes and tried to recall what's happens last night. He sits up from his bed, his head hammering with pain. It looks like he drank too much last night.
Strange, aside from his headache, he could feel his lip is in hurt as well. He touches his lip, and he did not hold not to groan.
And where did he get this cut? He asked himself. He looks around to find a mirror. He gets off his bed and gets out of his bedroom.
Jason went straight to his bathroom and stopped in front of the washstand where a mirror hung. He was surprised to see his partly swollen lip.
Did he fight with someone last night? He tried to remember what happened last night. Everything is vague. Ah, better to take a shower. He could smell himself that still reek from alcohol.
Jason took a long hot shower. When he's done and gets out of the bathroom, he was surprised to see Marga now sitting casually on the couch, busy with her mobile phone... as usual, taking a photo of herself.
His headache feels it worsens seeing the woman. His mistake is that he gives her a duplicate key card to his condo house.
He opens his walk-in closet and gets dressed. He doesn't feel to go to work today. Maybe he'll give a call to notify his secretary.
He's now got dressed into a pair of jeans and a blue shirt. This T-shirt has a unique value to him because Deana bought it for him when they were in Korea. He was accompanying Deana into her photoshoot and Vlog filming.
He remembered the past leaves a pinch on his heart. He felt hunger surging onto his stomach. He heaved a deep sigh. He glances at the woman on the couch when he gets out of the closet. He can't believe it. He shook his head full of disappointment.
He walks towards his kitchen and picks up bottled water from the fridge, then searches his kitchen drawer for medicine. Good thing his mother makes sure that his condo house has all he needed. Before, it was Deana who make grocery shopping for him. She even regularly made him a meal, either a breakfast or a dinner.
What the hell? Why does he keep remembering the past? Does Deana still remember? Or is she ultimately moving on and forgetting everything?
Honestly, he does miss her... now he felt so much hunger, he could remember her cooking.
Jason eats the gel for a headache then emptied the bottled water. He had no energy to cook. So maybe, he'll call the restaurant to deliver him some good soup for hangovers.
He went into the living room and picked up the menu book, where he printed each of the menus from the five restaurants of this building.
"My God! What happens to you!?" Marga suddenly burst out. This woman was here for he doesn't sure how long, but she just noticed his swollen lip.
"Maybe, I hit my toilet door," he answered timidly.
"How come?" she seems not to convince.
He tries to remember all. Slowly, the pain in his head subside. He started recalling what he did last night.
After the meeting, some of the board invites for a drink. They went to a pub, and he drowns himself in alcohol once more. He gets himself drunk mostly just at his own house. But last night, he let himself lose control again.
He can't remember who sent him home. Maybe one of his business partners. Is that all he did?
He was in profound thought when someone is pressing his doorbell. He got up from the couch and went to his entrance door. The person he found in front of his door is none other than Vincent Tan, the Head of Security in this building.
"Mr. Estrada, can we come in?" The personnel asked politely and calmly.
"Sure. Come in..." He opens the door wide and lets the three men enter his condo house.
He offers them to sit. Marga, on the other hand, was shocked by what's happening. She asked herself why the head of security is visiting Jason.
"Why are you here, Mr. Tan?" Marga asked rudely.
Although I was a bit surprised, the Head of Security keep his calm and replied. "I am here to talk personally, Mr. Estrada, if you don't mind Miss Marga. We're assuming Mr. Estrada hasn't sober up yet, and so, we come for a visit."
"And why is that?" Marga asked again arrogantly.
"Marga, please. Let me talk to Mr. Tan first." his irritation has gone extreme. He just wanted to eat something now.
Mr. Tan detailed what happen last night. At first, shock registered on Marga's face. Later on, anger is written all over her too much foundation face.
The three visitors now left... Just right after the door closed, a slap landed on his face when he turns around.
"I knew it! I knew it! I knew it!!!" Marga starts hitting him. "I already knew you would go to see her! I can't believe it! How dare you! I told you that never get near to that woman nor speak with her!" Marga has been screaming and yelling at him.
"That b*tch! Argh!!"
"Stop it, Marga! So what if I did!?" He catches her hand and throws her aside.
"Jason! You--" Marga was left dazed. She can't believe how Jason give her the cold shoulder.
Jason sat at one of the couches and covered his face. He wanted to scream right now. His body is shaking with frustration.
"Jason!" He heard another scream from Marga.
"Shut up, Marga! I am hungry! Just leave me alone! Get out!" Jason pointed to the door gesturing for Marga to leave.
The woman is hesitant at first, then chooses to calm down.
"I'll go order a food," she said after a long moment, then get out from his condo.
He wishes for this woman to be gone and never to see her again.
