"Are you ready kids? Aye Aye Captain" I immediately pick up my phone when I heard my ringtone for Psyche.

"Hello." I answered trying to compose myself.

"Hmp Eros hindi muna ako papasok ngayon." She informed.

"What? Why? I need you here marami tayong papeles na gagawin." I reason out. Psyche is working for me as my temporally assistant nag-maternal leave kasi ang dati kong secretary while Psyche needs a temporally job para sa pinapatayo nilang cafe restaurant ng kanyang bestfriend.

"Si Nena kasi may sakit alam mo na walang mag-aalaga sa kanya dito sa Pilipinas at saka hanggang ngayon ay mukhang na trauma pa rin si Nena sa nangyari sa amin." I'm kinda disappointed to what she said but still I understand her. I really don't know what's happening to Janelle noong magising ito matapos ang nangyaring ay sinabi nitong may lalaking bigla na lang sumulpot sa harap ng sasakyan nila para pigilan itong mahulog sa bangil. Maybe she's just hallucinating for Pete sake sa mga fantasy drama lang nangyayari ang mga ganun and about the incident we still investigating it. Nahuli nga namin ang mga shooters pero hanggang ngayon ay tulala pa rin ang mga ito at di nagsasalita we already consult it to a specialist baka kasi nagkukunwari lang ang mga ito but the doctor said that they have Acute stress reaction. Na hindi namin maintindihan kung bakit mas mukha pa silang agrabyado at na trauma sa ginawa nila sa dalawa.

"Do you remember something special today?" I asked hoping that she remember my birthday.

"Special? wala naman." What she answered make me more disappointed. She didn't really remember my birthday. "Sige ba-bye na Eros nagluluto kasi ako ng sopas para kay Janelle." Hindi na nya ako hinintay na magsalita basta nya na lang pinatay ang tawag.

I heave a deep sigh hindi man lang nya naalala ang birthday ko. Sa halos walong buwan kong panliligaw ay tila wala pa ring improvement ang relationship namin.

Buong araw kong binuno ang sarili ko sa opisina marami akong kailangan pag-aralan. Being chief marketing officer is a tough job I need to prove myself to the board. Some of them didn't trust my ability. Baka ka daw hindi ko kayang pagsabayin ang pagtratrabaho sa kompanya at pag-aaral. I'm online student of Harvard. Mas gusto nilang taposin ko na muna ang pag-aaral ko sa Harvard bago humandle ng kahit na anong posisyon sa kompanya but I refuse.

Abala ako sa Pagbabasa ng bigla na lang bumukas ang pinto.

"Happy Birthday Zach." Seth greet and seat in my sofa. Tumayo ako at lumapit sa kanya.

"What are you doing here? "What happened to your investigation?" I asked.

"Mayroon ng nakakapagsalita sa kanila. He said that they planned to abduct Janelle." I didn't expect what he said.

"But why?"

"They need her necklace."

"For Pete sake para lang sa isang necklace." Hindi ako mapakapaniwala sa sinabi nya. They almost killed Janelle and Psyche just for a necklace.

"The necklace is antique and one of a rarest stone in the world. They said na ninakaw daw yun ni Janelle mula sa nag-utos sa kanila. We also gathered information from their bank account and the calls they got from the mastermind but we failed to trace it exactly, but it somewhere from China." What he said got my curiosity up. Ang kwento ni Psyche ay kagagaling lang ni Janelle sa China para bisitahin ang mommy nito.

"It can be wala sa itsura at ugali ni Janelle ang magnakaw. Simpleng pagsisinungaling nga lang eh nagkakada-utal utal na yun. " I depend Psyche's bestfriend.

"Yeah hindi rin ganun ang pagkakilala ko sa kanya that's why we also investigate in China pero wala namang syang record sa mga police ng pagnanakaw." He informed.

"This is foul play Seth. I'm sure nagsisinungaling lang sila."

"This is pretty weird case. They also claimed na wala silang kinalaman sa pagsasabotahe ng brake ni Janelle. I think mayroon pang ibang taong involve dito." fear filled me maybe its really connected to our past.

"Tinanong mo ba kung may nakita pa silang ibang tao doon?"

"Yes but this is more weird may lalaking lumilipad daw ang sumulpot at sinalo lahat ng bala nila." I burst out laughing on what's Seth said. Mukhang lulong sa droga ang mga yun. Hindi ko tuloy mapigilang isipin na baka may connection si Janelle sa droga or Maybe she also used it. Pareho silang sinasabi na may nakita silang lalaking lumilipad for Pete sake si Superman at mga marvel heroes lang ang mga makakagawa nun at pawang mga imahinasyon lang sila.

"By the way where's Psyche? Where's your birthday balloons and the deadly birthday cake?" Nagpalinga linga pa ito sa paligid mukhang nagtataka ito na walang Psyche na sumalubong sa kanya.

"She's absent. She's taking care her bestfriend."

"Don't tell me nakalimutan na nya." He grinned at me.

I turned away.

"No we'll have a date this night." I half-lie. Yayain ko palang si Psyche I want to celebrate my birthday with her.

"Kayo na ba?" I didn't answer him. "Silent means No when it comes to you Zach. For Pete Its been eight months hindi ka pa rin nya sinasagot. Ang hina mo hahahahahaha. Did you know that my longest courtship was just thirty minutes." I glare at him. 

"Maybe you didn't really feel what I really feel right now that's why you're saying that. You can't rush something you want to last forever. Don't compare Psyche to your girl because she's different from them.

"But what if she didn't love you like she did before. What if she just give you a second chance because of your condition?"

"Then I'll makes her love me again." I answer.  Psyche is the  type of girl you'll regret losing that's why I  will never let her go and  I never lost hope that we would get our second chance.

"Well good luck. I need to go." He  said and bid goodbye.
---
I called Psyche but she didn't pick up the phone that's why  I go to Janelle place.

I rang the doorbell  twice when the door opened.

"Masamang espiritu lubayan mo na ko." My dropped jaw to what's Janelle said. Nakapikit ito' at may hawak na krus  na may kwintas ng bawang at na nakatapat  ito sa akin. Unti unti itong nagmulat ng mata ng ma-realize nyang ako ang nasa harapan nya at tila nahiya ito sa inasta.

"Where's Psyche?" Agad namang itong napakunot sa tanong ko.

"Malay ko, di ba ikaw ang boss nya." Tinitigan ko itong mabuti mukhang wala naman itong sakit.

"Pumunta ba sya dito?" I asked again.

"Hindi wala naman kaming usapan ngayon na magkikita."

"Okay. Akala ko nandito sya sige alis na ako. Ito pala prutas sa'yo na lang." I bid goodbye and give her the basket of fruit.

I tried to call Psyche again but still she didn't pick it so I decide to text her.

Where are you?

After a few seconds I receive a reply from her.

-Andito pa ako kina Janelle sobrang taas kasi ng lagnat nya.
 
I Inevitably hurt to what she reply. Why she's lying to me?
