Pang-apat na araw na namin rito at maya't maya ako nakakatanggap ng tawag mula kay daddy.

"Go home, mia figlia."

I used to like it whenever he called me my daughter in Italian. It sounds so sweet to listen to and it temporarily makes me forget that he is a Don in the Inferno mafia.

Hanggang sa matapos ang tawag ay puro iyon lamang ang bukambibig niya. Ni hindi man lang nangamusta, agad na ipinarating ang pakay niya.

"Chill, Khione." Sambit ko sa sarili. There's something in the way he talks that made me feel uneasy.

I don't know if I should relax first or just cry it out. I adore my father dearly, but he also holds the potential to be the greatest threat to our safety.

The first week of our vacation was kind of special as Aurelius and I celebrated our birthday on the same day.

"You never told me about this!" Gulat sa saad ko ng malaman kong kaarawan din niya.

"Hindi ka naman nagtanong, madam." Saad nito.

For dinner, we bought some food from a nearby restaurant.

We walked until we arrived at the nearby privately rented space.

I was about to invite Aurelius to go back to the beach house because it was so dark and empty

"Pinagtripan tayo ni Gav?" He uttered under his breath.

"Hindi ako sigurado. Si Lowe ang nagpaalala sa'kin na dumeretso tayo rito e." I tried to gasp for air but it got stuck on my throat.

Hindi maalis sa isip ko ang ilang pagtawag ni papa.

No, it can't be him.

I tug the sleeve of his shirt, "Let's just go back. I don't feel good about this. "

"Mabuti pa nga." He nodded as we turned our back to go back to the beach house.

The lights are scarcely discernible because it is near the end of the beach. We only use the phone's flashlight because it is already dark outside.

As the darkness creeps up like a thief. The nightfall makes me feel the anticipation of danger. I could feel my heart pounding through my chest.

"Hey, where are you going—"

The two of us suddenly felt a hand on our shoulders, and Aurelius swiftly held out his hand to twist the man's wrist.

"Ahh!" He shouted in pain.

I pulled the gun to Aurelius' waist and pointed it at the man instantly.

He writhed in agony as if Aurelius had somehow tossed him down the sand.

"Who are you?" Utos ni Aurelius.

Parang hindi kami nito narinig dahil patuloy ito sa impit ng pag-aray at mistulang nabulunan pa.

"Are you deaf? State your name before I pull the trigger." Pagbabanta ko.

Kasabay non ang biglang pagliwanag ng paligid kaya napatakip kami ng mata.

"Happy Birthday!"

Nang maka-adjust na ang mata namin sa liwanag ay napaamang kami sa itsura ng paligid.

"What's.. this?" saad ko at dahan-dahang ibinaba ang hawak na baril. The eerie and frightening place earlier suddenly changed.

There are now lights that guide the pathway to the private area. We can see the inside from where we are standing. It has white and fine sand and overlooks the long boho dinner table while on the side there is a private pool. It was so well arranged that it was as if we were somewhere else.
