That was early in the afternoon when Isabella accidentally witnessed the whole incident. A girl throws her body without hesitation into the air. Right before her two naked eyes.
The moment she witnessed the incident, that was the same time she was calling Estrella and later catching her breathe  after running away from the scene, away from the people.

 Estrella comes immediately when she heard the scream of Isabella, right at the same moment she saw blood all over her legs, but what makes her never forget about the girl lying in front of her are those eyes-- full of anger, sadness, and hatred.
"Before she closed her eyes, she met mine"
It is not coming from physical pain that she saw, it's a sad soul and a wounded blue"
 people are now talking about the incident, but for her those people were just playing tricks around who to be blame neither concern or not,  they were hoping that the girl will rise up from the dead without even realizing why she committed suicide and ends her life that easy.


 I'm sure you're not okay, Estrella whispers.

That's when she realized she was engulfed by fear and cried out.
 Estrella tapped her back, while she cries too.

And someone from the rescuer team had checked her blood pressure, pulse rate and body temperature and asked her if there is something hurt on her, not even sure if she were doing right, even she can't tell them the truth that her heart beats so fast. 



The last thing is that one of the police officer came to interrogate her,
"Do you know the girl who jumped from the third floor?" she doesn't seems to remember if she have met or crossed her path to that girl, it was just the saddest truth she cannot completely move on.

HER EYES.

The police officer asked her one more time.
What about her eyes?

She once told him, "they were full of sadness"
 I'll take you to the station please be advise accordingly, take some fluid to drink,
I'll get back to you. And he left.

Estrella cries very hard, with anxious.

She remembers everything she saw before the woman jumped in the third floor, a man just came by to the malls' building, leaving her.
They fought and she knew the girl can't even moved on, she died.


What a coincident you're here.

Allyssa took a sip of her cappuccino coffee before she gave her a "fake smile"
Why are you there during those hours?
She's never sure about her answer, all she remember is that she were buying some clothes for her graduation, and she passed by before that happened.

Allyssa by blood, is her half-sister.
Even though they aren't so close to each other just because they were half-sisters, she were happy with what she'd got in life.
A police officer, keen and brave. 

She asked her some questions and they let her go before dinner.
It was past 9:00 pm when she got home. 
And there, Estrella packing her things and told her to come with her.
After when she realized, she needs her more than anything.



The nights are as dark and lonely as she feel, the anxious truth, and the greatest pain about that girl is, she wanted to be loved.


================================================================================

Yeah, I'll be there- in a couple of minutes.

Armando Fernando came back after Estrella called him, he was on the road driving back home.
He wanted to feel at ease before his important meeting, but only he will- if he saw himself she's okay, and he wanted to hug her, tightly-- because he knew at that very moment she's anxious, he's not there, he feel sorry for her. 


Are you okay? She nodded.
He kissed her head, because of anxious he doesn't want to lose her. 

It wasn't the first time he kissed her, that only means they were so close to each other since then. No any malicious or negative meaning. 

He even have slept with her a couple of times.

Isabella came back to her senses when she saw the leather jacket which was very familiar to her,.

Are you?

"Nope, I got it to the lobby in which I worked in, seems I have to used this for a while because I have a meeting with a client, I feel this would be my lucky charm"
Isn't it pretty?

Isabella just took that negativity away on what she saw the moment the girl died and the boyfriend who've left her, whose the reason for her suicide.


Armando leave quickly, because he has a meeting to attend too, not every single moment she wanted to see or hugged him, because in him she feels safe.

Estrella also get back to work after lunch and found out the most expensive coffee maker, and she have let her set it up before she came back home.

Estrella has lots of money, in her freelancing career.
She were a kind of person she wanted to buy all she wants, even if it means the cost.

"I wonder what more she wanted other than things, because she doesn't have a boyfriend either" she realized.

She smiled back when a message appear on her phone.

Armando: "I'll pick you up around 7:00 pm, I forgot a graduation gift so I'll treat you"
The most expensive is not the things she have, it is the people who have her side, and in her worst"


Release his arm, before I force you and be suspended.
The half -sister Allysa came before the police officer Mr. Cortez had arrested Armando.
That was because the case is not yet solved, and only the leather jacket was the evidence present.

Either it isn't him, or he. I believe he can't do such things, playing around girls.

I am not the person you are looking for, the CCTV footage is correct about it but it isn't my leather jacket, I only found it on the lobby of my office building. I have some meeting to attend to and It seems to be my lucky charm after having a bad day, with my boss.

Allysa just released his hand before walking out, and told Mr. Cortez to come with her.
I can see there is a serious issues involved, and only I would know if I can talk to my half-sister Allysa.

Where are you two going? I didn't realized she were on my back.

"I am supposedly taking her for a dinner treat when this guys, arrested me"

"Alright, make sure you both take care, drive safely" with that fake smiles again.


The dinner were cancelled because of what happened, I was supposed to be wearing red dress and a wine in an expensive table with a violin, songs in front of me. But seems things didn't go well, I have to be here in the living room watching movie with him.

"This isn't bad than being arrest with the police"
He smirked.
We both laughed.
It seems that yesterday and today were very unforgettable that I have to get my journal to note it before the day ends.

"A dinner that was cancelled is still romantic" I wrote it.


We tossed another glass of wine before Estrella came in.
And that I saw her with such a sad face, ever.
I wonder what she gone through today, after her work.

"We broke up"

"I'm not even sure who she were talking, I don't know either if she had a boyfriend?"



but Armando laughed at her.

"Drink some, held  her a glass of wine"
So they both knew, only I doesn't know.

Before I complain, Armando speak up again.

"We cancelled our dinner, because I've got arrested"

Estrella closed her eyes, before she speak up.
What on earth are they thinking?

Should I call dad? She answered this time, with an angry face.

Estrella was raised by a very well-known family of lawyers which who also adopted me.
We're childhood besties, and Armando who saved my life since we're young.

"I can't afford to lose you two" she can't helped but now crying.

I don't know if it's the wine or the break up, or both.

We finished dinner at 10:00 pm because of the alcohol in our body.
We all three are discouraged, broken and anxious. And only alcohol makes it very-very bad.
I've slept in Armando's arms, and Estrella on my arms.

If you're wondering what exactly it looked like?
Well, same when we're younger.


"How I wished things didn't end too early"
So people and happiness, stays.
