"Mamomove daw next month ang kasal." Denzel said while playing with his cup. Nandito kami ngayon sa isang cafe, I was buying some necessities when we accidentally saw each other na bumibili din ng mga pagkain so we decided to sit and talk.

It's been a while since we saw each other, alam ko din namang busy siya kaya hindi ko naman siya hinahanap.

I mean, I don't have the right to demand for him to be with me.

"Ah, yeah Trixie told me." I lied, me and Trixie are awkward again. I don't hate her, and I hope she feels the same way. It's just that, I'm sensitive on my past especially Samuel.

At first, I was okay since I have Daniel on my side. But now that he's gone, who will I hold onto? The pain in my heart doesn't subside and it keeps on growing on me everday.

"Mm," He sipped his favorite avocado shake, "And they invited us na mag travel sa palawan bago sila aalis ng bansa." He continued.

"Aalis sila?" I asked in a surprised tone.

"She didn't told you? May negosyo kasi si Joshua doon and I think nagka issue kaya they need to check their branch in Las Vegas." He answered.

I shrugged. I'm missing out huh.

"Sama ka ba next week?" Tanong niya sa akin, "Pag iisipan ko muna." I sighed.

Nagulat ako ng biglang hawakan ni Denzel yung kaliwang kamay ko na nakalagay sa lamesa, "Hey, if it's because of Samuel it's okay. I'm sure Trixie would understand if you're not comfortable to join us." He smiled gently.

Samuel..

Yeah, it's been three days since that mornight where we talked.

"You love me? Samuel, was that your definition of love?" I said, tears starting to run down on my face.

"You ruined me Samuel...my whole life and existence. You ruined me!!" I shouted while pointing at him, I'm starting to lose my breathe again.

"I'm-I'm so so sorry! I know you won't forgive me but give me a chance. I was so crazy back then, please Farah...please." He begged, and I can see his eyes swelling.

Is he crying all day? His eyes looks so tired.

"Callie?" Bumalik ako sa realided and saw Denzel with his worried eyes. I smiled and pulled my hands gently, "S-sorry may iniisip lang. At tsaka don't worry, I'm good with Samuel and I'll go naman since I need to talk to Trixie din." I stated and sipped on my coffee.

"You sure?"

Tumango ako as a response sa question niya. Tiningnan niya ako, "Okay." He smiled.

Maybe it's the coffee or the memory that popped up in my head, or neither; but my heart seemed to beat more faster.

"Una na ako ah?" Agad akong tumayo at naglabas ng pera, "Ikaw nalang bahalang magbayad." Ani ko at agad na tumalikod. I heard him calling my name but I just kept on walking faster.

This is not good. If this is what I think it is, it's not good. I should not be feeling this way.

"Haaa.." I slid down in my door when I finally reached my home with a very shaky hands.

Napatingin ako sa study table kung saan nakapatong ang picture fram namin ni Daniel sa first date namin at agad namang napalitan ang malakas na kabog ng aking dibdib nang sakit.

"I'm sorry.." i cried and exhaustion put me to sleep.

"Open wide baby girl."

"Stop, stop!" I cried out as I try to get out from his grip ngunit ang aking kamay ay biglang nakakadena kasama na ang aking paa.

"I told you...you can never get away from me." The shadow that is standing beside me spoke, "We will be together until hell." Atras ako ng atras dahil lumalapit ito sa akin.

"You're mine. You're mine." Ang malalim na boses ang tangi ko lang naririnig. Nag e-echo ito sa madilim na paligid. I covered my ears but the voice didn't dosappear, it only became louder.

"Stop!" I cried out.

"Safahara.."

I slowly put my hands down to see a man wearing a formal attire getting closer to me. I can't point out his face. It's just a blurry face.

"You can never escape."

"Parang awa niyo na.." I exclaimed in agony, "Tama na."

The place seems to get wet and I saw water leveling up in my waist. It doesn't stop. It gets higher the second.

What's this..?

I realized that it was my tears. I can't stop crying and the water is getting deeper to the point I'm floating.

I... can't breathe. I closed my eyes and let the darkness take me in.

"Farah!" A loud voice woke me up.

I slowly opened my eyes and a white cellar was the first thing I saw. There are lights moving everywhere.

"Hang in there okay?" A familiar voice said.

Everything is blurry. Someone is hovering over me and they're humping my chest.

I can't figure out what's happening. I'm so tired and exhausted. I can't speak. I want to rest.

"She's losing her pulse!" I heard someone shouted. It's very noisy and I feel like I'm moving. I want to ask where I am but my mouth won't move.

"Farah...go..hang.." Their words are getting mixed up in my mind. The loud noises are slowly dying down until all I can hear is a whisper.

"Hey.." A baritone voice called out.

"Daniel!" I happily ran to his embrace. The market is full of people since it's a rush hour.

"You wanna eat isaw?" He grinned when I finally let go of the hug.

"Yeah." I chimed and snaked my hands around his arms.

"Wait, let's take a picture." He pulled out his phone and raised his hand, "1...2...3...smile!"

I put on a peace sign.

"Huh? Love, why are you crying?"

"What?" Pinahid ko ang aking pisnge. Basa nga eto.

"Did something happened?" He pats my back. Umiling naman ako pero mas lalo lang akong napaiyak.

"Shhh, I'll be right here." For a moment ay narinig kong nag-iba ang tono nang kaniyang boses.

He embraced me again, but fear started creeping in me when I saw another Daniel standing not far away from us. Duguan ito habang suot ang aking biniling damit para sa kaniya.

"Go away." He mouthed and my eyes are filled with horror.

"Are you alright..Farah?"

Napasigaw ako ng makitang si Samuel ang aking kaharap.

"Farah!" Napabalikwas ako ng may narinig akong boses.

"Thank God, you're finally awake!" He was about to hug me pero pinigilan ko siya.

"What the hell do you think you're doing, Samuel?"
