HONESTLY, MY KNEES WERE WOBBLING and I really don't know what to do right now. It scathes me so much that Drake was crying to Keanu and ranting over the situation because of all time, why does this shit have to happen on his birthday? And why does it have to happen to us? To collect my strength again, I went to the kitchen where all the necessities were being taken care and prepared of.

"How's the necessities?" asked Forester to the Secret Service Unit as they prepared the essentials before we evacuate to Leandro's island.

"All covered, sir." Forester thanked them before leaving us two in the kitchen.

"Oh, why are you crying? Ngayon pa ba kung kailan kailangan nating maging matatag para sa mga buhay natin?" I know he's also trying to be tough just like Keanu so the foundation in this camaraderie would not easily fall down.

There are big black evacuation bags on the floor containing all the essentials that we needed such as cleaning essentials, food, clothes, other canned goods and whatnot because when we get to the island, Leandro have told and reminded us that he will set the island to lockdown so people especially those who are asked to arrest gay people wouldn't get any idea that we're hiding there.

"Hindi ko lang kasi maproseso sa utak ko 'yung biglaang pagbabago, alam mo 'yung parang kanina lang ang saya-saya nating nasa airport tapos biglang ganito, biglang madedemonyo 'yung mga buhay natin dahil lang sa maling desisyon at plano ng presidente." hindi ko na naiwasang maiyak sa kaibigan ko dahil hindi ko na talaga kayang dibdibin pa ito. Niyakap naman ako ni Forester para pagaanin ang loob ko at gumana naman 'yon.

"Don't worry, Leandro would not leave us behind. He is the vice president of this country after all. He's next to that evil motherfucker so he would get all the information from him in advance. Just trust him." I nodded at him and let him does his task.

Dahil sa prustrasyon at takot na nararamdaman ko ay pumunta na muna ako sa front yard kung saan mayroong duyan. Hindi naman na ako nag-aalala pa sa sitwasyon ko na baka may makakita sa akin dahil unang-una sa lahat malayo sa mga tao ang Montemayor's Village at pangalawa alas syete na ng gabi kaya naman wala nang makakapansin sa akin. Habang nagpapahangin ako sa labas ay may bigla na lang humawak sa balikat ko at saka ito minasahe.

"I am sorry." a deep, cold, and almost in whisper voice greeted me from behind. From gently massaging my shoulder, his hands trailed down to my chest and slowly hugged me.

"Why are you sorry?"

"Because I can't do something to appease the President." Leandro kissed my earlobe while trying to be as gentle as he can.

"You're already doing something for us, thank you." I untangled his hands to me and guided him to go in my front. He kneeled on the grass while I am sitting on the swing, he drowned his face on my lap and hugged it as if this is the last time he will do it.

"I love you, Revil." he muffled. I ran my fingers to his hair until it becomes a comb-like.

"I love you too."

"Basta kahit anong mangyari lagi mong tatandaan, ah? Mahal kita at hindi magbabago 'yon."

"Lagi mo ring tatandaan na maniniwala ako sa'yo palagi, ha?" at doon ay inangat niya ang kaniyang ulo at saka tumingin sa akin. Mayamaya lang habang nakaluhod siya ay may bagay siyang kinuha sa kaniyang bulsa at doon inilabas ang isang maliit na kahon.
