PRINCE ROSTAM'S POV

I have met the village lords with , Reiven, Myco and Oliver, discussed some important matters. This event is really getting in my nerves. Pagkatapos ng aming biglaang meeting, umalis na rin kaagad sila, to do their assigned job.

I took a quick glance of the whole island outside the windows inside my office. A peaceful and quiet place indeed.

Pagkatapos ng kaunting pag-iisip, lumabas ako ng kwarto upang puntahan si Jumeirah. Well, to ease my boredom, perhaps. But she is really a nasty one, being a slave. She could have been beheaded long time ago, if not for me.

I asked her to bring me a coffee inside my office and gave me a questioning look. Bakit, hindi ba ako pwedeng magkape?

Returned to my office, waiting for my coffee patiently, I busied myself browsing an old album I saw at the library last night, with Jumeirah's things.

I can't help myself laughing as I saw those particular photos.

I am out of breath laughing when finally she entered the room with my coffee.

Eirah: *comes toward me, knotting her forehead* What's that?

Me: Nothing. *hid the album on my back* You may leave now. *as she put my cup of coffee on the table*

Jumeirah: *trying to take a peek on that little thing I am hiding* Prince, don't tell me.... *wide eyes*

Me: What?

Eirah: Nagbabasa ka ng playboy magazine. *wide eyes*

Me: *burst out laughing ang gave her a teasing smile* Paano kung oo?

Eirah: Nagda-drugs ka ba, kamahalan? *cheeks turned red* D'yan ka na nga. *walks out*

Me: *chuckles and shakes my head*

As I continue browsing the photos, I slowly took a sip of my coffee.

Me: Hmmm. Perfect.

I am chuckling and laughing when I suddenly felt headache and some diziness. Walang katulad na sakit ng ulo at pagkahilo.

I stood up to walk towards the door, but with my blurred vision and shaking knees, I fell down on the floor.

Holds my throat. It feels so empty and dry. But there is something wants to come out. Isinuka ko ang kung anuman iyon. With my blurred vision, I saw what it is. Blood.

Kasabay nito, ang paghawak ko ng mahigpit sa aking dibdib. I can't breath. Hindi ako makahinga. I want to shout for help, but, there is no words coming out from my mouth. Not even sound.

'What is happening? Why is this happening to me? Is this my end? Why? How?'

Hanggang sa tuluyan na akong napahiga sa sahig, holding my chest hardly. Hoping that the pain would end up soon.

Taking up my last breath, I saw someone running towards me. Calling up my name.

Eirah.
