NOW

I really can't believe everything I heard. Paano mo nagawa lahat ng iyon?! I thought I could trust you. I'm at peak of my anger now. Gusto ko siyang sampalin, tadyakan, suntukin, sipain.. Aaaahh!!! Basta gusto ko siyang saktan! 

How could you do all of this shit E? Akala ko ba friends tayo? And Bea?! How could you?!!!

"Ba't ngayon ka lang?" Isang malamig na boses ang bumungad sa akin upon entering the unit.

"Give me some time, I need to rest." I said then walked away. 

Nagulat nalang ako ng bigla niyang mahigpit na hinawakan ang wrist ko. 

Mga nanlilisik na mata. Di ko siya makilala, ibang-iba siya. Is this the Eian I've known before? Why are you acting this way?

"Aray! Masakit."

"Don't ever turn your back at me." Sagot niya with his husky voice. Biglang tumindig ang aking mga balahibo. 

Tumaas ang tensyon sa pagitan naming dalawa. Should I push him and ran away? Pero I still need him para malaman ko kung nasaan si Den. Den is the only key para malaman namin kung nasaan si Aly. I hope she's safe.

*flashback*

Ben's POV

I know you won't believe this. But you can't trust E and Bea. They planned everything!

"What plan?" She was too confused. "Anong plan pinagsasabi mo? They were our good friends. I met E sa Germany, kapatid siya ng friend ni mom then we became friends there. And Bea helped us sa case ni Den before. So how come we can't trust them?!"

"One time, napadalaw ako kay Ly sa hospital, I heard Bea talking to someone in a phone while Ly is innocently lying down on her bed."

*Ben's flashback*

"Mali to!" Gigil na pabulong ni Bea. 

"This is all your fault! I shouldn't listened to you! Sabi mo walang masasaktan?! Then what happened to Den?!"

Den? Wait, anong meron? Lumapit pa ko ng onti sa kung nasaan siya.

"No! This is your plan, not mine! This mess is all your fault!" Bea's shouting.

Di na siya mapakali, panay ang lakad at kamot niya sa kanyang batok.

"Crap! Okay! I'll stick to the plan." Sabay hinga ng malalim.

"Wait?! Do I really need to wait the that long? I could just pay a person who can just put Ly 6 fit below the ground."
