Chapter 40:
Calgor: I have to.
Piyapiansahan niya si Andrew? Hindi pwede. Dinakip niya si Ace tapos makikipagkita siya? anong kagaguhan to? Hindi pwede.
Gio: no! he kidnapped Ace!
Calgor: I know but we have no choice. Ace knew him. it is he who could explain Ace.
Gio: I can.
Calgor: I know you can. But.....you still don't know why were against Enzo. Gio, it's not just your business. It's also ours.
He! Hayaan ko na nga. Kinamot ko ang ulo ko at umalis ng kwarto. Pano nato? Maraming nangyare kay Ace na hindi niya alam. Ibinenta siya kay Enzo. Para saan? At anon a nangyare sa pagkamatay ng pamilya niya. Lumipas ang mga oras at punong puno parin ako ng katanugan. Pa gabi na ng nakalabas si Calgor kasama si Andrew. Ano na gagawin namin? Babalik sa Amerika?
Andrew: so what now?
Gio: bumalik muna tayo sa hotel.
Calgor: what?
Gio: let's go back to the hotel.
Bosch: I know is shouldn't be the one telling you this but I can't help it. Gio's not here. I'll be here for you.
Ace: it's okay.
Humarap ako sa salamin. Nararamdaman kong nanghihina ako, nanlalata at walang lakas.
Ace: I feel like I'm slowly dying.
Bosch: you're not mad with Gio right?
Dapat ba akong magalit? Ano naman ikakagalit ko? na nilihim niya na may sakit akong malubha.
Bosch: he did what he thinks is right. he don't want you to be freaking out that you're going to die. He don't want you to lose hope. Ace, the disease you have can still be curable because of your young age. Don't lose hope.
Ace: I'm not mad with Gio.
Bosch: Ace, do you want to talk to Gio?
Tumalikod ako.
Ace: not now.
Gio's POV
Gusto ko nang bumalik sa Amerika. Gusto ko nang makita si Ace. kamusta na kaya siya? kung sakaling hindi makaligats si Ace,. GIO! HUWAG MONG ISIPIN YAN! Makakaligtas siya. magiging maayos siya. pero pano kung hindi, kailagan niyang Makita ang tatay niya. Kahit isang saglit lang. naglakad ako sa buong kwarto ko. tama ba tong iniisip ko? palalayain ko ang tatay ni Ace. tama ba? matutuwa ba si Ace pag nakita niya ang tatay niya? Pero ilang taon na silang hindi nagkikita. Anong gagawin ko? May kumatok sa pinto. Binuksan ko ang pinto at pumasok si Calgor.
Calgor: I'm sorry about arguing a while ago. I know how it feels.
Gio: it's alright. I think I'm just planning to pay for Gary.
Calgor: why?
Gio: well, in case that Ace don't make it. At least he has to see his father again.
Calgor: you have a point. The reason I'm here is to tell what Andrew didn't tell you.
So marami pa siyang hindi nakwekwento?
