Astreus Lynx Perveus’s POV

What’s the passcode? Why is his room have a passcode instead of a key?

I tried so many times but I can’t seem to guess what is the passcode is, this sh*t is frustrating.

Ah.. the number on the necklace and in the frame, isn’t that the password?

*CLACK*

It works!

I slowly entered his room and I also slowly closed the door, I turned on the light because it was very dark and I can only say one thing in his room... it’s scary just like his office, it’s so suffocating inside.

I look around and it’s just a simple room with a king size bed and a walk in closet and two doors, not include the main door.

Naglakad ako patungo sa kama n’ya at umupo, it’s so soft and it smells like him too.

Naisipan ko naman na pumunta sa walk in closet n’ya, it’s juts a normal closet with a bunch of expensive things.

Umalis si Carla kasama ang mga kapatid ko kaya i take this opportunity to search.

Naglakad ako patungo sa drawer n’ya at hindi ko manlang napansin kanina na may picture frame rin pala rito, kinuha ko ang picture frame at nanlaki ang mga mata ko dahil nasa loob ang kwintas ko na ang pendant ay ang promise ring.

Akmang bubuksan ko na sa likod ang frame para kunin ang kwintas ko nang may makita akong susi na naka scatchtape kaya kinuha ko iyong at napatingin sa drawer sa ibaba kung saan nakapatong itong frame.

Binuksan ko lahat maliban sa dalawang nasa itaas, may nakita akong brown envelope at nang inuksan ko ito ay napakunot ang noo ko dahil puro medical records ang laman nun at medical reports.

May nakita pa akong picture sa loob na kaagad kong kinuha at nanlaki ang mga mata ko because I see the same two children in my dream and I clearly see their faces in this picture but they have their backs turned and their heads are slightly looking at each other while smiling happily as if they’re the happiest kid in the world.

Napalunok ako nang ma-recognize ko ang mukha nilang dalawa, this can’t be true and wether if it’s true or not.. why do I feel anxious?

Binitawan ko ang hawak ko at napatitig sa dalawang drawer na nakasarado, ano naman kaya ang makukuha ko rito?

Bahagya akong lumuhod at sinusian ang drawer, walang ibang nakalagay doon kundi isang album, it’s so huge and freaking heavy.

Hindi ko na binuksan pa ang isa at nagtungo nalang sa kama n’ya at umupo, binuksan ko ang album at tumaas ang balahibo ko sa nakita.

It’s him and me.

I smile and suddenly my head start to hurt, it’s throbbing and I feel like it’s gonna break.

“Astreus!!! Haha chase me!! chase me!!"

“Alistair bumaba ka riyan!! Delikado”

“Ang OA mo hindi naman ako mahuhulog kasi kaya kong ibalanse ang sarili ko, halika na umakyat kana rin tignan mo! Ang ganda ng tanawin mula rito”

“Haynako! Ewan ko sa’yo basta dito lang ako!”
...

“Ang kj mo minsan Astreus, but that’s why i like you”

“I told you stop saying such a thing! You're being cheesy again!”

“Hehe.. but it’s true, why don’t you believe me? You’re the only one I want and I won’t let us separate”

“Ah! Look what I found at my aunt’s drawer kekek.. it’s so pretty and i’m sure it suits you—”

“That’s why you stole it? Alistair you id*ot! You can’t just take other people’s things!”

“You sounds like my mother again, come on wear it”

“Whoa! It’s so pretty! But it doesn’t fit on me, kung ako sa’yo? Ibalik mo na ‘yan"

“No way! This is a promise ring, if we ever get separated this is the proof that you are the only one for me”

“Anong connect? Tumigil ka nga sa ka-cornyhan mo! Pero kahit naman wala nito ay makikilala parin natin ang isa’t isa”

“Whatever! I love you Astreus.. hehe”

“Ugh shut up, Alistair”

“Hahahaha! You’re so cute when you blush”

“St*pid! I’m not blushing!”

“Why are you with her?! Akala ko ba tayo lang ang maglalaro?! Bakit kasama ka ng sister ko?!”

“Alistair relax, sinamahan ko lang sister mo bumili pero hindi kami naglaro"

“Liar!! I hate you!! Dapat sa’kin ka lang.. dapat hindi ka nakikipaglaro sa iba.. nakakaselos na”

“Pfft, someone’s jealous~”
----

“Alistair humawak ka lang sa’kin, h’wag kang bibitaw maliwanag?”

“Oo na, akala mo naman mawawala ako”

“Teka lang dito ka lang, kukunin ko lang yun”

“Astreus look! A cat”

“No.. no.. NO!! Alistair masasagasaan ka!!”

And the last thing I saw was... i save him.
