Siren's POV

 "Ieuhence! Huwag mo kong iiwan!" I saw him standing right in front of me. Naka tingin lang siya sa akin at walang sinasabi. After a while, I saw his shirt full of blood. Hindi ko alam kung anong nangyayari at kung bakit. Nung hahawakan ko na sana siya, bigla na lang siyang na wala at puro dugo na yung mga kamay ko.

"IEUHENCE!"

"Siren! Anak! Anak!" narinig ko na lang na may tumatawag sa akin. Nagising ako na pawis na pawis and my heart is beating tremendously fast.

"Anong problema? Nanaginip ka na naman ba?"

Tanong ni Mommy na naka upo sa gilid nang kama ko. Nanginginig pa ako nun nung magising ako.

"It's just dream Mom. Just a dream." Sabi ko kay mommy habang hinahaplos ko yung tiyan ko. Hang in there baby.

"You've been having nightmares for 3 days anak. Lagi ka nalang sumisigaw sa pag tulog mo. May problema ba?" Tinignan ko lang siya at hindi ko alam kung paano ko e-explain yung sarili ko.

"Mommy wala po. Sorry din po at na gigising kayo. But I'm okay."

I've been having nightmares for these past three nights tungkol kay Ieuhence. I've been dreaming the same scene over and over. Ieuhence with a bloody shirt and my bloody hands. I have this fear that he will die and much more worse is that he will die in my hands.

It's just a dream. At least I tell myself that. I can never hurt Ieuhence. I just don't think it's possible.

"You have dark circles and your face looks swollen." I looked up to see Enrique standing in front of me at may dala-dala siyang gatas.

"Here,drink this. Masama sa buntis ang nag pupuyat." Inabot niya sa akin yung gatas.

"I haven't seen him since that day, Enrique." Sabi ko naman kaagad sa kanya.

"I miss him already." Sabi ko at natawa naman siya sa akin.

"Aren't you being a little too clingy?" He put his hand on my chin and then smiled.

"He'll be back okay? That's what the guy said. Yung sumundo sa kanya."

"Yung archangel ba niya yung kumuha sa kanya?" tinanong ko naman siya.

"Who? Michael?" he asked out loud, "No. It was another one. A green angel."

My forehead creased. Nagulat ako at the same time confused doon sa sinabi niya.

"What do you mean? Is it bad?"

"Hindi. Although it tells us very little kung anong nangyayari sa kanya. May sakit ba siya? Green angels are healer."

Napalunok ako. May sakit? Siguro. He's been feeling all sorts of things lately and most of them includes pain.

"Hindi ko alam. Kaya ka nga namin tinanong nung araw na iyon. Paano mo nalalaman kung ano sila? The meaning of their colors?"

"I told you, I just do. I don't know how to explain it but...I'll try." He said and heaved a deep sigh.

"They have different missions. They're all angels, sure, pero may core colors sila based on their abilities. I've seen seven colors so far at hindi ko alam kung meron pa." He held up seven fingers tapos inisa-isa niya sa akin.
