Why is it that when I am almost at the peak of my happiness, something always happens? I don't know if this is the will of someone from above or simply the relentless nature of life—forever unpredictable and hard

Why is it that when I am almost at the peak of my happiness, something always happens? I don't know if this is the will of someone from above or simply the relentless nature of life—forever unpredictable and hard.

"Salamat po sa pagpunta," ani ko sa mga pumapasok na nakikiramay.

"Condolences, Miss Soroza."

They got ambushed on the way to the station. Hindi pa rin nahuhuli kung sino ang gumawa. Detective Santos was barely hanging on to his life at the hospital. He was shot multiple times.

According to Tito, there were individuals apprehended in the act during the club raid. Our station published an article about it and its link to the politicians. Despite this, Ricardo De la Vega hailed as the new governor of our city.

He's suing our company. Hindi daw totoo ang sinasabi ng mga articles patungkol sa kanya. We got a lot of backlash. Kahit ang interview ni Manda ay hindi pinaniniwalaan. 

Some baseless embezzlement and corruption allegations about our company are spreading like wildfire—na kaya raw kami naninira dahil mas pabor kami sa kabilang partido at nabayaran kami.

The reputation of SHC and CSC has been stained. Investors are leaving our companies. A lot has happened in just four days. The one who is most needed and knowledgeable about the whole case is lying in the hospital, almost lifeless and would have been dead if not for the life-supporting machine.

The headquarters has been burned down, leaving no trace of evidence behind. Ayokong manuro pero malakas ang kutob ko na sila ang gumawa nito.

Sila Ricardo De la Vega... at sabi ni Tito... ang mga Walker.


'Hiwalayan mo na ang Walker na iyon! Mapapahamak ka lang sa kanya! Their family might be also dangerous!'

'Zild Walker knows everything that happened because he is the secret owner of the club! Ayon ang huli kong narinig bago sila tumulak papuntang istasyon! Bago sila in-ambush! May alam siya! Hindi niya man lang sinabi? Pinahamak niya sila Ate at Kuya!'


Tito has limited knowledge about this case. So, I am not easily swayed by what he said. Zild won't do that. I have a lot of questions for Detective Santos. Sino ang informant na sinasabi niya? Hindi kasi iyon alam ni Tito. 

Ang hirap mangapa sa dilim—ang hirap kapag walang alam.

Pinaglaruan ko ang singsing na binigay niya. I need to hear him. Though my heart is breaking, I still have trust in him. There must be a reason. Wala akong balita sa kanya sa mga nagdaang araw. Wala akong cellphone, naiwan ko ang clutch bag ko sa sasakyan niya.

Sa dami ng nangyayari hindi ko alam kung para saan ko ba ilalaan ang luha ko. Halos hindi ko na alam kung ano ba ang dapat kong unahin. The responsibility doesn't allow me to grieve. Sa loob ng apat na araw, naging involve na rin ako sa kompanya.
