Four pm ay magsisimula na ang presidential election ng kompanya ng mga Kalistov. So Valine was waiting for Creon's call thirty minutes bago magsisimula ang election, as what Creon had promised her. Kagabi ay kung hindi rin tumawag si Creon ay ’di rin mapapanatag ang loob ni Valine at makakatulog nang mahimbing. Maliban dito ay nangako rin si Creon na mag-a out of town sila bukas dahil hindi na ito magiging busy nang ilang araw. ‘I know mananalo si ninong . . .’ Valine grinds her teeth, trying to swallow her feeling of uneasiness. Bahagya pa niyang pinukpok ang kaniyang dibdib.
“God, why am I being so nervous? Don’t be like that, self. Okay lang ang lahat. Ninong will get the presidency at lalarga kayo bukas para makapagsolo . . . ’Yan lang ang mangyayari and nothing else negative for you
