I NIBBLE my fingernails. I'm out of my mind that I didn't take my car. I used to ride a taxi at this hour. It's 11 in the evening and I can't think carefully.

"You didn't get it, Ambria? Your best friend betrayed you. This DNA test result was fake."

The statement of Monet keeps repeating in my head. Did Lazarus help me from the start or he just manipulate me for his uncle's sake?

Lazarus is trying to do everything about this case. Kaya pala kakaiba ang kinikilos niya mula noong maaksidente si Enzo.

I closed my eyes, feeling my head now aching. I've been trusting a person that soon betrayed me. Hindi ko matanggap na kaya niyang gawin ito. This is too much. Napahawak ako sa aking sintindo. Bigla akong nakaramdam ng hilo.

As I looked at the window, I feel weird. Nervousness soon to grown inside me when I noticed the taxi is taking the wrong path.

"Sir," I started, "Parang iba na po na ang daan natin."

But he's not answering.

"Sir," I bravely open my mouth again, "Hindi po dito ang daan papunta sa apartment ko."

But he's not answering still. I gulped, feeling the dizziness. My eyes started to become blurry.

"Sir..." I looked at the window but then I realized that the driver is heading to an isolated highway which is purely dark.

I felt my heart raging inside. I can feel the numbness in my fingers. Did he put any chemical spray inside his taxi?

"Sir, bababa na po ako." I stated, nervously.

Dumoble ang aking kaba nang binilisan niya ang takbo ng sasakyan. I can't fight at this moment because I don't have the guts to.

"Sino bang nagsabing may plano akong pababain ka?"

I felt a loud bang in my chest.

"This is going to be the end." That voice was familiar.

I closed my eyes, can't feel anything. I guess this will be the end.

Hours later, I found myself sitting on a couch, my clothes have strange rips and tears. It was partially torn.

In a blink, a man shows up wearing a plain white shirt, it was unbuttoned halfway, patterned with black pants with his black hair all down, looking worried.

I am seeing him, now?

"Are you fine?" he hurriedly asked me soon as he realized that I'm awake. "Please, tell me that you are fine!"

I looked at him, meeting his eyes. This can't be.

"Am I dead?" I asked, "Why can I see you? Nasa langit na ba ako?"

"Silly," aniya na parang nabunutan ng tinik.

I don't get him. He is still in a coma and I was in danger earlier. That means, I died and Enzo too because I'm seeing him right now.
