After he finished the second cigarette, he was gone, gone to his empty penthouse. They birds alongside like laughing him that no matter how rich you are, but you still along. He envy the birds, they could have love with their love one. The empty penthouse always reminding him that he has lost the girl he loves most. He has no plans to find another one, at lease now.
