Ivy's POV

Maaga palang ay bumiyahe na kami pabalik ng metropolitan. Si Anthon ang nagdadrive, katabi niya si Captain habang ako naman ay mag-isa lang sa back seat.

Nakatukod ang siko ko sa bintana habang nag-iisip. Then I move forward to them holding own between their chairs.

"Captain, I was thinking." pagbubukas ko ng usapan. "Since magkapatid naman sina Anthon at Arthur, can I kiss Arthur?"

A sudden break almost makes me roll onto the front. "Ano ba? Di ka ba marunong magdrive?" paggalit ko naman kay Anthon na ang sama makatingin sa akin.

Its like may gusto siyang sabihin pero di bali nalang. Ako naman ay muling sumandal nalang.

"Wife?" Anthon calls me in a plain tune saka muling nagdrive na ulit.

"What?" iwan ko, nakakasanayan ko na yatang tawagin niya ako ng ganoon.

"Have you watch any family drama or read a romance novel?" He ask like he didn't just look at me angrily a seconds ago.

"Literatures and informations are specifically filtered in every department." si captain ang nagsalita. "Most departments specially the IVY, strict protocol last upto 25 years old if you are still breathing. Ivies are not allowed to stay too long in one mission to avoid them from being expose to the deferent side of the poligon."

"Why are you telling him that?" Singit ko naman pero di talaga paawat si captain.

"When Nathalie is 18, she got a mission to cut loss end. She is her senior ivy she admired the most. Pero buntis ito at manganganak na ng mapuntahan niya at kinailangan niya pang ihatid sa hospital that is why it takes her too long to finish her mission which exposes her enough and started to have a doubt to the council."

"For how long?" Anthon interestedly ask. Nakakalimutan na yata nilang nasalikuran lang nila ang kanilang pinag-uusapan.

"Almost twenty four hours?"

"Twenty four hours? Is that too long already? What happened to the baby?"

"Her mission is to cut loss ends, didn't I tell you?"

"Eh bakit niya pa hinintay na isilang ang bata kung—"

"Her name is Andrea," singit ko sa usapan ng dalawang maritez. "She asked me to remember her with that name not by her code name. She wants to see, and hold her baby and also asked me to take a family photo so we have to wait for the father of her son to come to the hospital. Among the ivies, she is the one I admire the most so I granted all her request including an easy and painless death."

Napapahid ako ng paramdamang may tumutulo sa pisngi ko.

"What is this?" tanong ko pa at napatingin sa bubong ng sasakyan na baka may tumutulo pero wala namang ulan sa labas.

Am I crying? Am I in pain?

My vision started to blur, I try to reach the two but my head....

....

....

....

I open my eyes and see an empty place with a led light at the ceiling. Its like we are in a container heading to I have no idea where?

Yes its we, Anthon and captain is tied up with me with our back touching one another.

Liban sa magkakatali kaming tatlo ay tali din ang mga braso namin sa kanya-kanyang katawan. Pati din ang mga paa namin ay nakatali din.

"Sayang, dapat binalot nalang nila tayo ng tali." nauuyam na wika ko tas naramdama ko ang paggalaw ni captain.

"Captain, how did we end up here?" tanong ko dito.
