"I am fine. I just needs to plan my life, and the next time I see them I will be stonger and brave enough to fight back." Aline said, not knowing if she is saying those words to console herself or to assure her friend that she's ok.

She feels lost. She doesn't know herself now. She wants to break free and create her own destiny, but doesn't know how. That's the biggest problem to her.

Shen just stayed beside her. Then and idea came into her mind. " Aline, let's to a bar. It will be my treat since we didn't attend the concert."

Aline is skeptical. She doesn't know whether her friend is thinking or not.If she goes with Shen to a bar, she will be in trouble to her family. If will go back to their house, she's still in trouble.Neither way she's still in trouble.

Upon realizing something, Aline agreed to her friends suggestion. And just because of that decision, her life will change dramatically.

" Hey man, what are you up to this time? Did your grandfather again asked you to look for a girl you like before your father will do that for you?" Ali asked his best friend Tim.

He is already used to his best friends mood when he asked him to go for a drink. Tim just keep silent thinking of something.

While he is looking around the bar, his eyes spotted Aline drinking a whole glass of cocktail without stop.

Ali stand to approach her, when he see Tim already walking towards her direction.

" ooh, this is bad. What is he thinking approaching a drunk girl?" Ali is muttering to himself.
