I tried hard not to punch the wall as I felt the disappearance of his presence.

Tama na ang pagkukunwari at pagtatago. I've had enough of his actions. There's a lot of things that need to be done now. And nothing can be done until he realizes all of this.

Blanko akong napatingin sa higaang nasa harap ko. There's no mommy nor Runeia in here. It's all empty.

"Hindi ko po alam kung paano sasabihin kay papa na wala na kayo."

Napahawak ako bigla sa mga mata ko kung saan patuloy ang paglabas nya ng luha, na kanina ko pa pinapabayaan. That scene was scripted, but not these tears. Naging desperado na ako ngayon. Sana lang narinig nya ang mga sinabi ko. Inaasahan ko pa nga sana na magwawala na siya pero hindi.

I Sighed.

Napatitig ulit ako sa higaang walang laman. I softly caress the matres of the bed and gave it a sweet smile.

You're finally at peace, ma. Just like what you wanted.

Flashback...

Everything's a mess.

"Sir Rhyell! We found her!"

Agad kong tinungo ang lugar kung saan siya nakita. And there-The lifeless body of my mom, soaking in her own blood with unrecognizable features.

Parang nanghina ang buong katawan ko kaya agad din akong napaluhod sa harap niya mismo.

"M-ma... Ma?"

Unti-unti kong inabot ang katawan nito, hindi mawari kung anong gagawin.

"Can you, can you... H-hear me?" I tried to be gentle and calmer.

"C-can... Can you-Ma, I need you..." But I'm still lost.

"MA!!!" I breakdown. Completely breaking down in front of everyone.

I searched for signs that she's still alive; Wrist, nose, neck, pulse, but none of those respond. I even observed if her shoulder and abdomen were moving, but still nothing.

I probably need to shout for help, but I know It's already too late. We're both soaking in her blood and she's unrecognizable, because of her fall. However, none of these matter anymore, really.

Instead of shouting for help, I just embraced her, looking for my mother's breath and warmth. But still nothing.

Tears are falling and no one can stop it. Not even him.

"Ma..."

I embraced her once more before signaling everyone to finally get her. But as they carry her, something falls off in my mother's hand. Agad kong kinuha at itinago sa bulsa bago dali-daling pinuntahan si boss.

"Boss---" Agad niyang pinutol ang dapat na sasabihin ko at tinutok ang baril sa sentido niya, bagay na ikinakaba ko agad.

"Don't you dare to come near me, Leo. I'll pull this trigger if you come any closer." Seryosong pagbabanta niya.

"Pero boss---"

"Don't you dare!" Sigaw niya. Inulit ko pa ang dapat sasabihin pero pinigilan niya na naman.

Sa huli, wala na akong nagawa kung hindi masaksihan na lang kung paano siya pumikit, sumigaw, magulat, matuwa, mataranta, magalit, magmakaawa, at...

"Where's my wife, Leo?"

...mabaliw.

End of flashback...

I really tried---We really tried to keep it and let him realize it all by himself. But, everything's not working.
