"You can't insist something incorrect, nor you can't recall something you don't know." Rinig kong boses ni Sam sa kabilang kwarto kaya ako agad nagpunta doon.

Bumungad saakin sila Wil, Sam at Caleb.

"C-caleb? What are you doing here? You can't be here. It's dangerous here." Sunod-sunod kong sabi.

"What are you guys doing here? I thought you guys have some task to do?" Tanong ko sakanila Wil.

"It's done. Mabilis lang naman iyon." Tugon ni Wil.

"Then what is he doing here?" Pagtanong ko ulit sakanila at tinukoy si Caleb.

"I really need to go. Mister Rein and I have something to talk to right now. And I'm quite late. I should go." Pagpapaalam ni Wil kaya kaming tatlo ang naiwan.

"What the hell is going on?!" Pagtanong ko kay Sam.

"You know this place is dangerous. Especially he's just a kid, Sam."

"Okay, okay, okay. Calm down. You're not gonna punch me, right?"

"What?!" Tanong ko.

"Nevermind. Okay. So.... when we were heading back here, I saw him wandering around. And he is insisting that he knows the way more than we are, I and Wil, but he's never been here. And I was tryna make him recall what and how he ended up being in this world."

"But he's just saying he can't recall. But I'm pretty sure he doesn't know how did he got here." Pagtapos niya. Napatingin naman ako sakaniya na nakayuko lamang.

"What is it that you are trying to do?" I asked.

"I-I-I will tell you... pero kayo lang po ang pagsasabihan ko." Sabi saakin.

"Wai-- wha-- why-- you've got to be kidding me. Why? Why can't you tell me?" Tanong ni Sam.

"Just get out Sam. Para matapos na ito." Aniko atsaka siya pinalabas ng kwarto.

"They're still listening." Sambit ni Caleb.

"Sam!" Pagtawag ko sakaniya.

"Alright, alright! Damn it!" He muttered. As I heard his footsteps becomes faint, Caleb started to talk.

"You are my mother, mom." He said that almost made me laugh.

"Mother? Me? Paano?" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong ko.

"I'm from the future, mom. I time traveled to see with my own two eyes who and what does my father really looks like."

"Father? Who's your father?"

"You call him a broken angel. You never really told me his name because you said you've promised him something about revealing his name to me."

"So I traveled back here to know him."

"Then who is my husband in the future?"

"Wala rin po itong kwenta, ma. I'm gonna erased your memory soon after I see what I wanted to see. Ayoko na pong masyadong magsabi ng impormasyon tungkol sa kinabukasan dahil hindi pa po ako malakas para alisin ang sobrang daming impormasyon sa isip niyo."

"I can't be reckless because one wrong mistake can alter the future, mom."

"Okay...." wika ko.

"I still don't believe.... that I have a son. Oh, dear God!"

Biglang dumating si Scram atsaka tumalon papunta saakin.

"Hello, Scram." Pagbati ni Caleb at hahawakan na sana siya nang bigla kong pigilan dahil nakahanda na si Scram na saktan siya.
