After that specific text we received, we immediately packed our things and reserve a flight going to Finland. Buti nalang maraming connection itong si Kiel kaya nakapagreserve kami ng flight in an instant.

Going to Finland may take time, as it is a 14 and quarter hour long flight. Medyo nahirapan pa kami ng onti dahil kay Dominic, since he's been wailing as we leave there. I know that it is hard to accept, but we need to.

We don't have a choice but to keep forward— that's what I learned from everything that had happened to us. 

Ngayon, medyo tumahan na siya. Yun nga lang, di na siya namamansin.

"Welcome aboard Flight 4B7, which will be flying from the Philippines to Finland. We're now in third place in line for takeoff and should be in the air in about seven minutes. Please buckle your seat belts and stow all luggage beneath your seat or in the overhead bins at this time. For take-off, we also require that your seats and table trays be in the upright position. All personal electronic devices, including computers and cell phones, should be turned off. For the length of the flight, smoking is forbidden. Thank you for deciding to fly with The Royale Airlines. Have a pleasant flight." the flight attendant announced, as everyone took their own seats and waiting for the plane to take off. We are now heading to Finland, since that's what uhm... Isabelle said before... yeah.

I looked at Dominic who's sitting alone. I totally know his pain and agony, and I know myself that having that is totally hard. "Is he gonna be okay?" I asked Kiel, who's sitting beside me.

After what happened last night, Dominic changed. Due to the death of his lover, di na namin siya nakakausap. He's been distant with us, but we totally understand him. We know, for now, all he need is space.

"Why do we need to go to Finland?" muling tanong ni Kiel sa akin. I actually said it to him earlier, pero mukhang ulyanin ata itong lalaking 'to. "To find Ted King Jr., just like what Belle said. That man is the key, so we must find him." tanging saad ko nalang sa kanya at inilagay ang earphones sa aking tenga.

I want a peaceful flight, after all. I need some time to rest and to heal, since after this flight, we'll be back in the war.

Naramdaman ko nalang na parang may yumuyugyog sa akin. "Hey baby, wake up." malambing na sabi ng kung sino man. Inimulat ko ang aking mga mata, only to find out that I was sleeping on Kiel's shoulder the whole flight.

"Sorry." simpleng saad ko at inalis na ang aking pagkakahiga sa kanyang balikat.

I looked at the window, only to be shocked to know that we're finally here in Finland.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Royale Airlines welcomes you to Helsinki, Finland. The local time is 2:45 in the afternoon. For your safety and the safety of those around you, please remain seated with your seat belt fastened and keep the aisles clear until we are parked at the gate." we followed what the attendant has told us, until people started going out already. We waited, before joining them.

Medyo nalito pa kaming dalawa ni Kiel since Dominic is nowhere to be found. As in, he's not here. "Maybe he went first. Siguro nasa labas na siya at hinihintay tayo." tanging sabi nalang ni Kiel at pinauna akong maglakad at sumunod naman siya sa akin.

Sa buong paglabas namin ng eroplano, wala kaming nakita na Dominic. Kahit anino niya man lang, wala kaming natagpuan. That made me lose my mind. Nasaan na ba yung lalaking iyon?

"Where the fuck is he?!" naiinis na bulyaw ko nalang nung di ko siya nakita sa exit ng airport. Nagpaikot-ikot na kami sa buong airport ngunit hindi pa rin namin siya matagpuan.

Ano na naman bang plano mo, Dominic?

Sobra na akong naiiinis, kung saan pa tatlo nalang kaming natitira, dun pa siya magdedesisyong umalis mag-isa. Tangina niya talaga, mag-susuicide ba ang gagong yun?!

Naramdaman ko nalang na may yumakap sa akin, at si Kiel yun. Di ko na talaga napigilan at umiyak ako sa mga bisig niya.

Naiiinis ako na ewan. Kung saan konti nalang kami, dun pa siya lilisan? Dapat diba magtulungan kami?!

"Shhhh. It's going to be okay." sabi nalang sa akin ni Kiel habang tinatapik ang aking likod. That's not gonna work for me anymore. Even how many times I told myself that it's going to be okay, it doesn't.

My life is all fucked up, all of us were fucked up.

We'll never be okay, that's for sure.
