When Fate Decided to Play its Part

CHAPTER FIFTY:

A familiar face

--

Dave leans on the table while looking at the dancing crowd in the center, casually sipping the alcohol he has in his hand. His head was bobbing along the music that was airing on the air. His eyes caught Aaron who was walking towards him. He straightened his back and placed the glass of alcohol back on the table.

He looked behind Aaron and saw that she was not there, he curiously asked. “Where is April?”

She was with him just a while ago, Aaron was dragged by her to somewhere Dave knows nothing about and was excluded by the topic they were talking about.

Aaron was silent for a moment before opening his mouth, “She run off after saying she has to prepare for the surprise.”

“What surprise?” Dave asked again. The feeling of being left out was really suffocating. If only they included him on their discussion too, he will not be asking questions.

Aaron, aware of what was going inside his mind, shook his head and replied with helplessness in his voice. “I don’t know either, Dave. She didn’t mention anything about it to me.” He paused for a good second before proceeding. “She did say something though.”

“What?” He was disappointed by his words but caught his self-back. “What was it?”

A small smile- which resemble of ma merely uncomfortable twitch of his lips- surfaced on his lips. “She said to sit back and watch the show she made unfold. And, as we wait the three meets again, we have to see a small surprise she made for the other two.”

“Small surprise?” Dave unconsciously let his eyes wander towards the two who were sitting on the round table, surrounded by others.

Tyler was as stoic as he was- a complete opposite of someone he -knew from the past. Sheryl was still smiling as how she used to be- but her smile has the hint of something he cannot understand.

They had changed. Dave asked himself; how about her? How much did Althea change?

He averted his eyes away and talked again to the person next to him, “How will she find her?”

Aaron paused, “You don’t have to worry about that.”

“How so?”

“She’s the owner of this hotel, of course she’ll know.”

Right, he forgot about that certain fact. Dave laughed. “Then while we wait for her little show before the bigger show, what should we do?”
