This day is the end of my busy schedule. All of the staff and the head of the company set up a meeting with the models. We have a one-hour meeting about the next project that we can model. I'm with my cousin and he's still persuading me, but my decision is final. 

It's been a long week and Zion is still being a sweet talker and he's still pursuing me. In that week, I felt more deeply, but my sister's word was still bugging me. I also want to know the reason behind Ate Taryn and Zion's relationship. They are both odd in their actions, and it is obvious. 

I'm driving right now to my condo. I'm really tired, but I can't help it. I want to be rich and be famous on my own. 

Dumaan muna ako sa drive thru. I want an iced coffee with a little bit of ice. I sip on my iced coffee and it makes me freeze for a few seconds. Coldness can bring you back to reality.

Nagpatuloy ako sa pagmamaneho at nang makarating sa parking lot ay may bumungad na agad sakin.

Ate Taryn is talking seriously with Zion. I didn't see the reaction of Zion because he blocked my view and Ate Taryn was only in front of me. They didn't even notice me while I was parking my car. 

Lumabas agad ako at lumapit sa kanila. Ngunit natigilan ako sa sinabi ni Zion.

"Are you afraid that your sister will be hurt? She deserves all the pain I want to throw at her. Gusto kong makitang nasasaktan ka. I'm using her for my revenge on you, "Zion said with a deep voice. 

Napatulala ako sa narinig. Napatigil ako sa paglalakad at nahigit ko ang hininga ko.

He's using me for what? I couldn't think and I felt betrayed.

"Don't ever do it if you want to live. Stay away from her--"

"What are you talking about, Zion? " Sumabat na ako. I don't know anything, but right now I want to know. 

Humarap si Zion at nanlumo ako ng makitang blanko ang mga mata niyang nakatitig sakin. He's a mess right now. 

"I'm done with you. Right now, I'm satisfied to see you've fallen too hard for me. This is just revenge." Walang emosyong sabi niya.

I'm seeing a stranger right now. This is not Zion anymore. He's unknown.
 
I saw how Ate Taryn kicked him hard. He fell down. Hindi ako makagalaw. I'm crying while seeing him down. 

"Ate, please don't hurt him. Let me hear him. I want to know everything. Everything that's behind all of this fucking revenge" Pinigilan ko si Ate ng makitang nakahawak na ang braso niya sa leeg ni Zion. I know it hurts because Zion's face is not well. 

Sinuway ako ni Ate ng marinig ang mura ko. Binitawan siya ni Ate pero hindi siya umalis sa gilid ni Zion.

"You jerk, say what you want to say and I'll never let you go near her after this. If I could be a thorn that has a poison, You're dead now." Nanggagalaiting sabi ni Ate Taryn.

Katahimikan ang namayani. Nakatingin ako kay Zion. Nakatingin siya sa kalsada.

"Did you plan all of this from the beginning? When I almost drown in that river, is that a-also part of your plan?" Tanong ko.

I want to know. Why is he like this and why does he have revenge on my sister?

I saw him looking at my sister. Napatingin ako kay Ate Taryn. She's looking at me. Napabalik ang tingin ko kay Zion. Nakatingin na siya sakin ngayon.

"My dead brother is your sister's bestfriend and ex-boyfriend--"

"He's only my best friend, you asshole. He didn't tell you the whole story. Don't create a story, you freaking maker!" Sigaw ni Ate Taryn.
