Charlize's Apartment
"ANDEZZZZZ!!, I can't believe it!" Charlize ran across the carpark towards the taxi parked at the guardhouse outside her apartment. The moment, surreal. Matt stood steadily at the carpark elevator as his eyes and Andez greeted one another. Both of them gave a brotherly smile. Both of them knew that these few days will be like yester years.
As the three of them enters Charlize's apartment, the crowd looked at Andez momentarily with question marks on their heads. All of them shook their curiosity off quickly and welcomed him to the party. "Happy Chinese New Year...welcome back" the crowd introduced themselves one by one before they sat down on the dining table. All but one was not seated. Charlize was busy and frantically running in and out the kitchen to get utensils and photo albums from her room to show to the crowd. She misses him so much. As memories started to flood her willful self, tears are becomin' visible at the corner of her eyes. For some reason, her heart could not stop beating. This is so unlike her.
The food started to dissapear from the table, along with the bottle of wines. What a feast.

Charlize's Penthouse
'Snap!' A picture of all of Charlize's colleagues and friends displays on Matt's new camera. "Hey Matt, come take with us !" Charlize cried out to him from the crowd. "Its okei la! Later later.." he smiled back. The crowd began to dispurse and sat accordingly on the long glass table that seems too fragile to hold the amount of food catered. "Gong hei fatt choi..Gong hei fatt choi...sek fan sek fan" Charlize took her chopsticks and everyone started eating. Matt ate quitely throughout the whole dinner and occasionally steered his head to Charlize whenever she started to joke around. He doesn't really know everyone, in fact other than Bernard whom he had seen once at Charlize's birthday party...he can barely remember the others.
"Hey Matt!, why so quiet...anyways... I haven't seen you in a long while...what happen to you la? Got a girlfriend already isit?" she laughed. "Hhuh?! No la! Been busy with work and the 'night shift'....no time to sleep also" he grins. Charlize always knows how to dig in and she remembers things very well. He can never hide a single thing from her. They were best friends for years. Yet, he can never tell what is on her mind. "What night shift? Entertain boss's clients isit? I know those Japanese can be 'hamsap' (horny)le" she glance at the crowd with a naughty grin and looks back at him. "Yea man, those buggers are crazy drinkers and my boss always needs me there to interpret for him" he tried to reply without showing any signs of shyness. The crowd laughed out loud.
Slightly after, Charlize phoned ranged. "OMG OMG!! Its Andez!!" she opened her eyes wide and stared straight at Matt. "Oh...I forgot to tell you....he is coming back for holidays" he laughed. She picks up her phone and shouted "ANDEZZZZZZZZZZZ.....you coming back!!!". The crowd kept quiet in anticipation for her next reply. "What!?!? ....you're outside my place?!" she stood up and ran straight to the security video installed next to her bedroom. "OMG!!" another scream is heard from a distance. The crowd laughed like mad and still don't know what is happening. Who is Andez?

Andezstand?
6pm, 16th February
At the freeway, New York
While cruisin in his convertible, Andez mind starts wanderin off to yester years. It has been a long time since he has taken a trip back to Malaysia. How much so he missed the food there and all his friends, especially Matt and Charlize. It is been a long time since he has caught up with him. Those college days and random bar hoppings with the bunch seems like just yesterday. He still remembered how they had became such close buddies. It was back in the highschool gangster days when he met Matt. The funny part was Matt was helpin the opposin gang when they were trashin out their conflict with one another. As usual, these conflict were never resolve peacefully, just hopefully not to bloody. Matt was the only one who stood his ground when everyone has fled, and he even given him a bruise or two. With almost 30 people surrounding him, he could still stare Andez in the face. That was when they shook hands and that was when Andez gained respect for him. "How did they got close ?" he wondered for a second. "Ahh, yes... Carmen" he smiled to himself almost giggling at how foolish he was when he was pursuing her. Matt was Carmen's brother, they both have similar features in fact. Very pan-asian and both with natural light brown eyes.
Thinkin' about his gangster days, suddenly another memory flooded him. Havin been the leader, Andez have always felt the pressure of keepin up to his status. And that particular day, was one that he had regretted; even til now. That is because he had taken the order of his superior to beat up this lawyer, and what was suppose to be just a warnin ended up in the obituary section of the following day's newspaper. It was lucky as he was not caught. But nevertheless, it took him so many years of sleepless night and drinking to drown away that guilt. It never really did. Just right about then, he stepped on the pedal and zoomed off to his clubhouse.
