HER'S POV

"Good evening, Miss Faschia. You have An incoming call from Miss Terrah."

I sip a glass of wine before i turned to my secretary, Olivia. "Sure. Connect me to her."

She gave me a quick nod so i grabbed the telephone and after a minute, a familiar voice spoke.

"Hello?" Terrah's voice.

"What do you want?" I impatiently asked.

"Excited?" She sarcastically asked. "By the way, can you do me a favor?"

I stood up and pull the window blinds on my office . "Depends."

"Depends on what? Parang hindi naman tayo mag-kaibigan dahil sa ginagawa mong yan ah." Panunumbat nya pa.

I chuckled. "Wala naman akong sinabing hindi ko gagawin. Ano nga ba yang pabor mo?"

I heard her sigh. "Something bad came up. A group of terrorist attacked my family and planning to attack us again. Someone tried to warned me about this and Introduced himself as Leo."

I sip a small amount of wine. "And what about this Leo?"

There's a few seconds of silence from the other line before she spoke. "Leo gave me a few hints and warning about this and whenever he did, it turned out right. The problem is, I found out that He, himself is a member of terrorist."

My eyebrow arched in confusion. "And then?"

"When we found out about this, Me , a friend and my brother rushed our way to his house and found out that He was barely breathing." She added.

I finally decided to cut her long story. "Terrah...I was trying to ask you about your f*cking favor. At anong katangahan ang meron ka sa katawan at sumugod kayo d'yan ng kuya mo?"

"Oh, Well..."  Doon lang s'ya parang natauhan. "It's one way to find out if he was an enemy or not. Since He's not answering his phone, I decided to track him down and thats when I found his house. May mga bagay din kaming kailangan alamin tungkol sa pinanggalingan n'ya and seeing him in this state, I don't think he can provide what information we need."

"Can you take care of him and guard him as you can? I think the terrorist group found out about his betrayal to the group and did this to him." Dagdag nya pa.

"I see."

"Thank you so much! I knew I can count on you-" I cut her sentence

"Why are you thanking me? Hindi pa naman ako umu-oo, diba?"

Biglang nanahimik sa kabilang linya.

Im not planning to agree to her dangerous plan. Besides, there's no specific reason for me to trust that 'Leo' . I mean, I don't even know him.

"Hey, Terrah?" Wala pa man ay natatawa na ko sa na-iimagine kong reaksyon nya.

"Please?" She pleaded but I didn't speak.

" Oh well Faschia, If you didn't agree, sasabihin ko sa ex mo na mahal na mahal mo pa sya and you will do everything para bumalik sya kahit loko-lokohin ka pa nya ulit-" My blood automatically boiled and I ended the call.
