HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO LIVE WITHOUT YOU

It's been a year since he left Maria and the babies. But the pain he felt inside his heart was still the same, as if it just happened yesterday!

Why does it seemed so hard to forget them?!

Was he that hopeless?!

He busied himself to death just to get rid of them inside his mind! He tried dating every woman he knew just to forgot them and the pain they brought to him!

But nothing happened! Jake still remembered them!

He frustratedly threw the paper on his hands and stood up. He get his key inside the drawer and strode out from his office.

Jake drove unendingly, he just kept on driving. He doesn't knew where to go. He was physically alright, but mentally wrecked! His heart was bleeding horribly!

He stopped his car in the parking lot of a bar.

Why was he here anyway?

Right! Alcohol helped him to forget all his burdens. Even just for a while! Jake stepped out from his car and went inside the bar.

Jake found a table in the corner away from the crowd but he still have a great view of the stage. A waiter come to him and asked him if what's his order.

"I want a bottle of rhum."

Its all he said and ignored the waiter. He looked at the stage and watched the singer sang a heartbreak song.

*tell me one thing more, before I go.

tell me how am I supposed to live without you

now that I've been loving you so long

how am I supposed to live without you

and how am I supposed to carry on

when all that I've been living for is gone..... *

Jake felt that the song was for him. It breaks through to the deepest part of his heart! But the next song makes him sad even more!

*I can see the pain living in your eyes

and I know how hard you try

you deserve to have so much more

I can feel your heart and I sympathize

and I'll never criticize all you ever meant to my life

I don't want to let you down

I don't want to lead you on

I don't want to hold you back

from where you might belong

you would never ask me why

my heart is so disguised

I just can't live a lie anymore

I would rather hurt myself than to ever make you cry

there's nothing left to say

but GOODBYE...*

Jake was numb when the singer finished singing. He never knew that he emptied the bottle of rhum already. He called for the waiter to ask for another bottle of his drink.

He was staring at the stage through and through. He was in total agony!

Jake just snapped back from his senses when he saw that the lights on the stage turned off.

Smoke starting to appear from it and it makes the viewer can't see what's happening on the stage. He can't took off his eyes away from the stage, curios to see what's in it.

Then the smoke slowly fading and you can see a slim silhouette on its center. The music started in a low and sexy rhythm. The curvy figure started to sway slowly and seductively.

The light turned on but it emits a red glow. Jake can't clearly see the face of the person because of the mask she wore. But he was one hundred percent sure that it was a woman!

Jake tried to look away but he can't! It seemed that she was hypnotizing him. The worst part was that,

she made him hard just by looking at her!
