Reunion (8)

The two handsome men, the old one and a young one were immersed in capturing the wide sky. Relaxing their mind seeing a scene like this. Mr. Hugo who is now scanning his captured photos when his attention disturbed by the ringtone on Christian's phone.

While Christian who busied himself in capturing the sky using different kinds of a filter was startled when his phone rang. Stopping what is he doing and walk towards the table to get his phone, glancing at the screen the ID caller is Lian Tan. Unlocking his phone and pick the call. As he was about to ask Lian Tan on his purpose on calling, the cheerful voice of a man came through

"Tian where are you? It's been hours when you left us. We are planning to go to Clubtango to continue the fun. Are you in or not?"

"Don't be KJ (killjoy) Tian we have a rare occasion like this." a distant female voice could be heard from the other line, a familiar voice of Ella.

Christian, on the other line, knowing they are planning to go to the bar was none of his business but after hearing Ellas' voice he clenched his fist. Party is fine with him having many people, food, and drinks but people who got drunk is a big "NO" to him.

"Coming" was the only word he said and hung the call.

"..." 'That was strange of him...I invited him a couple of times before but this is the first time he agreed' Lian Tan said to himself.

Ella "Is he coming with us? Where is he now?"

"Let us just wait for him a little bit." Lian Tan said.

On the other corner, Christian thank Mr. Hugo and bid him goodbye he even invited him to join them but the old man refused him.

Saturday at 11 pm

The group of young people reached the club. It is Clubtango one of the famous club hotels in Beijing. Located in Tangguo Building, Dongcheng, Beijing China. The name of the club was carved in gold that could be seen upon entering the entrance hall. The building structure is signified of elegance. The wall who is painted with white color and a huge painting hanging on the wall attracts the people when they enter. It is the only painting hang in the lobby along with the marvelous vases. The painting illustrates the nature of a dark night sky that was lightened by the bright shine of the stars. The bottom corner of the painting the painter quoted "I don't know anything with certainty, but seeing the stars makes me dream." (Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh).

The lobby is not packed with people due to the time of their arrival and it was being booked by Lian Tan ahead of time. The group was being ushered to their private KTV room. Upon they entered they saw a big screen along with the long table filled with foods and drinks. Their batchmates were an enthusiast seeing these. Their faces were saying like 'Fun? This is heaven' (hahaha).

The crowd was merrier as time passes by. Ella was enjoying together with Usa but Usa excuses her self due to unexpected call to the hospital that her client was being rushed in the emergency room.

"Friend, take a cab it is not safe when you drive in an influenced of alcohol."Ella reminded her friend

"Yeah, I'll take my leave then but you better book yourself a room now. Nah, I"ll do it on your behalf better enjoy the night. Bye."Usa said as she hugs Ella.

The other corner of the room was a man sitting alone drinking his wine leisurely as if he is not part of the crowd. He is watching Ella as she was with the crowd dancing freely. He even got curious about why Usa and Ella stop dancing. He paid attentively on their movements when Usa totally hug Ella and left. Christian watch Ella from time to time but after some time he felt burning sensation crawling in his skin and it feels not so good. He standup attempt to go to the restroom but he finds himself dizzy and his legs weaker. 'If dizziness I can endure it but why are my legs weak? As I recall my alcohol tolerance is high' he thought to himself.

In this case, Christian needed someone who he can trust. So without further ado, he dialed his assistant.

Christian: "where were you? Book me a room at this hotel, now!" he hung the call leaving his assistant frightened by his sudden call and to think of it, it's still in the middle of the night.

"And where might be him right now...?" assistant Tang Xi thought to himself as he dials his boss number.

"H--hello, Mr. L--Lee, If possible where would you want me to book you? At this moment I don't have the idea where were y--"when the sentences were cut by Christian.

"Clubtango, Dongcheng," Christian said impatiently.

'Why does my body felt like burning all of sudden?' He questioned himself as he waited for his secretary.

1 am

Reaching the 10th floor, the elevator ding as it reached its destination with the door open. The presidential suite of the hotel is located on the 10th floor of the building and is composed of 10 rooms unlike on the other floors the whole floor consists of 100 rooms.

As the elevator door, open Ella walk out sluggishly and a bit tipsy. She scans the place and realizes the long and wide hallway with white walls.

"I should just tell them to book me an ordinary room, sigh, it's a long way for me."

She looks at her hotel card and saw her room number "9"

She walks through and through until she reached the room."Oh, there you are"a smirk could be seen in her face as she manages to get through the card but to no avail. Yet as she almost lost her footing and she leans on the door to her surprise it was already open.

"Oh, that's why I can't open it because of it already open. What kind of staff they have left the door open after cleaning. tsk, tsk." she mumbles till she reached the bedroom and jump on the bed and she falls from her dreamland.
