"Kumusta ang bagong lipat?" Bati sa kanya ni Vincent nang matapos ang meeting nila, "Nakakapag adjust na ba si Camilla?"

Tumango naman ito, "I also gave her something to think about para hindi naman mainip." Saktong pumasok naman si Rita, inabot ang mga kailangan niyang pirmahan para mailabas na ang mga bagong crates.

"Anyway, tumawag si Letty. She said patapos na daw sila," ani Rita, "Seriously, Wesley. Pati wedding coordinator mo ginagawa mong yaya ni Camilla?"

"You can't blame him, Rita." Sambit naman ni Vincent, "Kung sa akin mangyari ang lahat baka tinali ko na sa akin ang asawa ko."

Umirap lang ito, "You're making it hard for her. Give her some space, she's not going anywhere anymore. She's also safe, nakakulong na ang mga nanakit sa amin."

Hinayaan na niyang mag talo si Vincent at Rita. They always do that, kahit wala naman dapat pagtalunan.

"Letty," He called her, "Where should I pick her up?"

"Oh, she said tatawagan ka na lang niya." Sagot nito, "She's at the pastry shop, we had dessert."

"Okay, thank you!" Binaba niya ang tawag at nagpaalam na sa mga ito. What's good about their place now is its distance to their place, he could still feel lazy in the morning or make love to her wife before going to work, and he would still be on time!

Maliban doon, kahit anong oras ay maari siyang umuwi kung sakaling tawagan siya nito. He called her number but it can't be reached. Sinubukan niyang muli pero ganon pa rin.

"Is she home?" He asked himself and tried to call her through their telephone. After two rings she picked up!

"Klein's Residences ---" Nakahinga siya nang maluwang.

"Hi, Baby. I'm on my way, nakauwi ka na pala. Do you want me to pick you something?" She didn't respond. Naputol ba ang tawag? He entered his car and checked if it got disconnected pero hindi naman. "Hello? Camilla?"

He could literally hear her breathing, "Hey, baby are you there?"

"Sab..." What? Sab? As in Sabrina? "Yes, kakauwi ko lang. N-Nasaan ka?" Agad niyang pinaandar ang sasakyan.

"Camilla, what are you saying?" He got alarmed when he could sense fear with her voice, "What's happening?"

"Yes, he's here... Nasa shower lang." Damn it! Someone is with her. "Kita tayo sa labas?"

"Baby, you're scaring me..."

"Oo sige, hihintayin kita. Dalian mo, ha?" He stepped on his gas.

"Malapit na ako! Stay with me, Baby--"

"Argh!" Sigaw nito.

"Camilla!"

"W-Wes..." Then the line was cut. No! Agad siyang nagisip ng paraan. Hindi maari.

He called the security office of the residences. Maging pulis ay tinawagan na niya.

"Vince!" He called him next and explained what just happened, "Tell me something about Maribel and Ken!"

"Bakit, Wes. Ken got convicted he is already in jail. While, Maribel got acquitted." Sambit nito, "She used insanity defense to get out of liability."

"Insanity?" Hindi siya napanatag! "Are you saying that they got enough evidence to prove she's insane?"

Napabuntong hininga si Vincent, "She got a medical abstract from 2010 which states she has a history of substance-induced psychotic disorder."
