FUTURE GENERATION MACHINE

She can't take it anymore!

Her heart ached so much that she wanted to cry! But, she would never let him saw her that way!

Tobias remained quiet, he was just looking at her. Maria calmed herself and and started fixing her things.

She wanted to leave this place as soon as possible!

Tobias seemed to woke up by her sudden action.

"what are you doing?"

"I'm leaving this f***in' place!"

Tobias tried to stopped her. He took her bag away from her. She tried to take it back but he raised it above his head.

How can she reached that? He was too tall, her head just reached his armpit! She tried to jumped but to no avail.

"give me my bag!"

She speak, hatred was on her voice.

Tobias wouldn't budge, he just remained looking at her regretfully.

"please let's talked about it?"

he pleaded.

"what for?"

she was really frustrated. She thought, what'd the use of talking? They'd talked already, but what happened?

Nothing!

They'd still argued!

"so we can fixed this"

"no we can't! Now, give me back my bag?!"

she lifted her hands on his front. Telling him to hand her bag.

Tobias just looked at her intensely.

What's wrong with this man?!

"give it to me, or else."

she threatened, staring at him fiercely.

Still, Tobias didn't give her bag, back.

He left her no choice!

Suddenly, Tobias fell to the floor. Clutching his 'future generation machine'.

Yes!

Maria bravely flew her knee towards his crotch!

Tobias was still on the floor. So, she took the opportunity to snatched her bag from him.

She felt guilty but she felt hatred more!

Maria hastily walked out. She was fuming mad! She took the elevator, pressed the first floor with so much quick.

She was afraid that Tobias will gained his consciousness and ran after her!

When she arrived at the first floor, she saw Melody. She was staring at her curiously.

"where are you going? Your face was red."

"I'm heading home, I'm not feeling well."

She lied and walked past Melody.

Melody was left there, confused.

Maria went home, she lay on her bed and trying to sleep. She was very exhausted, from what happened earlier, her energy drained out.

She never knew that she already fell asleep.

Inside the office, Tobias stood up from the floor. His buddy down there was still hurting. He was shocked to think that Maria did, what she has done!

He went out from his office and search for her. But, the hallway was empty. He turned back to his office and called the reception area.

Melody was the one to receive his call.

"yes sir?"

"did miss Ho went out?"

Melody was really confused, but she still answered him politely.

"yes sir, Maria said she's not feeling well. I thought she already told you."

Tobias kept silent for a while, then,

"yes, I just want to check if she gone home safely."

Then he hung up. Melody just shrugged the feeling and put back the phone from it's place.

After the call was ended, Tobias fell on a deep thought.

What if he didn't messed up?

What if he break his relationship with Charlotte?

What if he told her he love her?

Love?!

He can't hide it anymore. Before, he tried to be in denial about his feeling, but after Jake appeared on the picture, he felt nervous.

What if she wanted to be friends with him?

What if Maria fell for him?

What if Maria will leave him?

No!

His heart ached for that thought!

So many 'what ifs' were running through his mind. He took out the Rhum from his drawer.

He wanted to drowned himself!

He wanted to punch himself for being a jerk!
