I am feeling anxious, scared, and tired all at the same time. Right before my flight landed at the airport. Tinawagan ko na kaagad si Lily to arrange my transportation papunta kina Ulysses without telling the others.

I just don't want them to worry too much dahil alam kong may idea na rin sila sa kung anong pinagdadaanan ng mga Del Real ngayon dahil sa mga balitang kumakalat.

"Iva here!" Lily shouted as she waved her hand with a frown on her face. Katabi niya si Adrien na itinataas rin ang kamay.

Tumakbo ako palapit sakanila and when I met them, naglakad nakami kaagad papunta sa sasakyan ni Adrien.

"I already contacted Ruki na nakarating kana" Lily said panting as we walk to the car. "They are all inside the main mansion nervously waiting for Ulysses to come out. As what he told me earlier, as the time passed by mas lalo silang may naririnig na nababasag sa loob ng kwarto niya, sometimes he's quiet, sometimes he's too loud. They don't really know what to do. There are times that they tried to open his room but even before they try gunshots were heard and Ulysses always say"

"Get in or we'll all be shot!" Lily said talking like Ruki.

As Adrien drove us to the mansion Lily continuesly fed me informations.

"According to Ruki Mr. Del Real is currently not in the mansion because he wanted to divert the media away from Ulysses. He announced that he will be having a conference today and tell the media about the issue so ito lang ang panahon na maaari natin makausap si Ulysses. And Ruki said there are also Psychiatrist and doctors waiting as a standby outside Ulysses' room as Mr. Del Real ordered. But they are all saying that they can't do this without your help girl. So be strong okay?"

I tried my best to keep my calm. I took a breath, look down with hand clasped together as I pray that everything will be alright.

"You only have 15 minutes to enter the mansion" I heard Ruki's voice from Lily's phone while we are waiting here at the car parked at the backgate of the mansion because there were still some paparazzi roaming around the front gate.

Kahit na gumawa na ng paraan si Mr. Del Real para madivert ang attention ng madla ay mayroon paring hindi sumusuko na makapasok sa mansion. Mahigpit na rin ang security sa buong mansion kaya mahihirapan talaga kaming makapasok.

Luckily, Ruki and the others said they'll do their best to assist us na makapasok sa loob without someone from the media catching us kundi lagot.

Ngayon hinihintay nalang namin ang go signal nina Ruki para patagong pumasok dito sa back gate and they were only giving us 15mins!

As soo as Ruki gave us the signal dali daling ipinasok ni Adrien ang sasakyan niya sa gate at mabilis itong isinara ng mga guards. Some of the paparazzis caught us from entering pero mabuti nalang ay mabilis kumilos ang mga nagbabantay kaya naging maayos ang lahat.

Now we ran as fast as we can papasok sa mansion without someone catching us even the cameras because we don't know kung mayroon nagset up sa mga ito from the media at makita ang identity namin at madawit kami sa issue but that is the least of my priority now. Patakbo parin kaming nagtungo paakyat sa second floor west wing kung nasaan ang kwartong kinalalagayan ni Ulysses. And when I recognized that one room. Tila nanlumo ako at nawala lahat ng lakas sa katawan ko.

That was the only dark side of this place. The room with no light, and nothing but scattered and broken objects.

Lumapit ako sa pintuan at halos hindi ko maigalaw ang kamay ko para kumatok. Everyone was here. Lahat ng mga pinsan niya ay nakaupo sa sahig, halos tulala at pagod na pagod na sa kahihintay ng pagkakataon na lumabas si Sese sa kwarto niya.
