Matapos kumain ni Lucas, lumabas ito para hanapin ang bisita nilang kanina pa lumabas at hindi pa bumabalik. He scanned their property looking for her. Nang hindi niya makita pumunta siya sa quadra ng mga kabayo, nagbabasakaling napadpad ito doon.

Pagkarating niya doon nakita niya ang taga bantay ng mga kabayo na si mang Roman at nagpasyang tanungin ito tungkol sa bisita nila.

Nakita niyo po ba ang bisita ni Jane mang Roman?

Sir Lucas! Magandang gabi po. Yung magandang babae po ba? Nakita ko siya naglalakad mukhang papuntang lake.

Sige po mang Roman salamat!

Umalis na si Lucas sa quadra at nag tungo sa lake nilang medyo may kalayuan sa bahay nila. Nang malapit na siya ay nakita niya si Freesia na naglalakad papunta sa tubig ng lake. Kailangan niya pang kusutin ang kanyang mata para makumbinse na ang bisita nga nila ito , at hindi isang diwata.

In her white dress, she illuminates in the dark night. Like a nature spirit walking gracefully in her realm. The wind is blowing her curly black hair as if acknowledging her presence, the grass and little flowers that is along her passage give way for her to reach her destination. Awestruck, Lucas can't move forward to reach Freesia. He remained rooted in his place taking in what is happening in front of her.

The adoration in his eyes lasted a moment before it turned into horror. Lucas saw Freesia walking deeper and deeper in the lake.

Fuck!

He run towards the lake and reach the cold water of the lake. Without second thought he rush forward and started looking for her. With the help of the clear water and the light of the moon. He found her totally submerged in the lake.

Naabutan ni Lucas ang katawan ni Freesia at handa na itong hablutin , nang makita niya ang mukha nito, her face is smiling in front of him that it made him angry even more.

Freesia reach out her hand and held Lucas' face while uttering forcefully the words.

I'll find you

Matapos usalin ang mga salitang iyon, Freesia let out a bubble from her mouth before losing her consciousness.

That was Lucas' cue to take her out of the cold water. Pagkalabas nila sa tubig agad na ginawa ni Lucas ang CPR para mapa alis ang anumang tubig sa loob ng sistema ni Freesia ang mabalik ang ulirat nito.

After a cycle of CPR , nagising na si Freesia. She look at the man who saved her from the trance she was while she's in the lake.

I-im n-not planning to take my life

She said while freezing, ayaw niyang isipin ni Lucas na pumunta lamang siya dito upang kunin ang sarili nitong buhay.

Do you expect me to believe that?!

Lucas shouted angrily, gusto niya mang pigilan sumigaw hindi niya mapigilan magalit dahil sa inisip niyang katangahang ginawa nito.

You fucking walked towards that lake! At iniisip mong paniniwalaan kita?

N-no believe me, gusto ko lang talagang tingnan ang tubig. Nagandahan lang talaga ako dito , I just want to feel it . I didn't notice na lumusob na pala ako. I'm s-sorry.

Malakas na buntong hininga ang pinakawalan ni Lucas, bago pangkuin si Freesia. He didn't let her utter a complain and directly say the words

You look incapable of walking on your own.
