there's no one's fault, it's the fate at it's work... -©_subedhwrites

while on their way to explore intermittent stretches of sandy beaches and rocky shorelines in sabtang island, mj confronted deanna...

you know what? i'd rather be dead than woke up and faced the fact that jemalyn was missing... it's killing me... how i wish it was me... - deanna

why you let go of her? she should be found in a place where you were rescued! you were supposed to save her... i entrusted her to you... had i know i can't entrust her to you, i'd rather chose to hang on with her than on your bestfriend... - mj

the last time i checked, she was safer than me in a floating piece of a boat where i let her stay as we fought the waves. as i fought to shrug off the numbness i felt in my body.
heaven knew how hard i tried to hold on that piece so i could still be with her for as long as i can... for us long as the rescuer came to save us from death... -deanna

"but you failed! safer than you? why you are here and she's not as she's supposed to!" sagot ni mj na halos sipain na deanna.

dagdag pa niya, here you are very much alive while jemalyn's missing! she was okay with riz before you showed up! her life was put to danger because of you... all because of you! if you didn't intrude during their courtship, it would be easy for riz to accept being basted by jemalyn. you should distance yourself when you knew they're dating and wait for your time!

lipad sa napakalayo ang latang sinipa ni mj...

"hit me until i die... hit me now to ease that anger... hit me!!!" deanna dared mj...

kinuha pa nya ang mga kamay ni mj at pinaghahampas sa mukha nya sabay sabi nang paulit ulit na "hit me until i die... hit me now!!! hit me!!! "

when a rescuer noticed them, he came to stop them...

hey, stop it... there's no one to be blame of what happened to all of you. no one either thought jemalyn died. no one wished it could happened... let's find her... i knew she's just somewhere out there waiting to be rescued... if you will go on with that fight, you better return to the camp site. you're not helping... you just add worries to doc madeleine... - rescuer

with that, napaupo na lang si deanna sa gilid ng shoreline...

habang si mj gusto syang i taekwondo hit sa galit dahil sa pagkawala ni jemalyn...

tinawag ng rescuer ang kasama nya to accompany mj while he will to deanna...

pinapakalma nang rescuer si deanna... nang nakapag compose na sya, kinausap sya ng rescuer... tinanong sya what happened to them... pinapa share sa kanya ang naganap sa kanilang dalawa para somehow may lead ang mga rescuer...

umiiyak si deanna habang nagkwento sa rescuer...

binalikan ni deanna ang ganap nila ni jemalyn as they fought the waves at sa lamig...

habang wina washed away sina deanna at jemalyn ng mga alon, nabunggo sila sa isang side part galing sa faluwa boat na tumaob.

hinawakan agad ito ni deanna. maya maya matagumpay nyang naisakay si jemalyn nito.

the piece is just enough for one person kaya nakahawak lang ang dalawang kamay ni deanna sa bawat gilid habang si jemalyn ay pinadapa nya paharap sa kanya.

baby d, cge na palit na tayo ng pwesto... ikaw naman dito para maibsan ang panginginig ng iyong katawan... -jemalyn

no, okay lang ako baby j. kaya ko pa. kumapit ka nang mabuti dyan. -deanna
