Atrena's POV

Nasa sala ako ni Victoria habang umiinom ng juice.

Narinig ko ang mga yapak mula sa hagdanan at nilingon ito. Nakita ko si Victoria na hawak hawak ang kanyang cellphone.

Umupo siya sa aking harapan at inilapag ang kanyang cellphone.

She flashed a smile. A smile I never saw before.

Halos isang linggo na kaming nagsasanib pwersa para malaman kung sino ang nasa likod sa lahat ng ito.

Di pa rin nahahanap si Dariz at naireport na ito sa pulis. Naisip namin na baka kung sino man kumuha kay Dariz ay yun din ang taong nanglinlang sa aming lahat. Lalo na sa kapatid ni Dariz na si Darz.

"Did you find something?" I asked

"I definitely did" sabi niya at inislide ang cellphone sa side ko.

Binuksan ko ang cellphone niya at tinanong kung saan ko makikita ang kanyang natuklasan.

"Gallery. Picture 234 to picture 246" sabi ni Victoria kaya naman sinunod ko ang mga sinabi niya.

It was the pictures of Darz going into the parking lot. It looks like it was taken from a cctv footage.

Nang makarating na si Darz sa kanilang meeting place. Lumabas ang lalaking nakaputing jacket and from another picture, sinuntok ng lalaki si Darz.

This guy...looks oddly familiar to me. His figure...his jacket.

No...wait. It can't be.

It can be.

I started to think every possible theories and conclusion and I saw how that could happen.

Pero bakit siya pa?

I walked out of Victoria's place speechless.

I called Jiane to meet up with me our usual place.

It was 3 blocks aways from here so I just walked.

Kasalanan ko talaga to eh! Kung hindi ko yung sinabi sa kanya, edi sana walang ganitong nangyare. Kung sana hindi ganun ang atttitude ko dati, sana di siya napahamak.

Kung sana alam ko lang. Kung sana alam ko lang...kung sana nagisip ako nun.

Sorry Darz, pero ako talaga ang may kasalanan kung bakit ka namatay.

I was about to cross the streets but then

My body shivered, i felt like I was beaten up a thousand times. I can hardly breath. I felt my heart beating so fast until I don't even feel it anymore.

Yet I smiled.

Smiled as he hit me.

A million question popped as i saw him but it was answered as my body fell from the ground.

I knew this would happen yet I was still suprised.

"Thank you" I said as people started to crowd and surround me.

Not because they came to help. Not because of that.

Its because finally I'll die.

I'm so sorry Darz.

Jiane's POV

My heart almost stopped as I saw Kari got hit by car. It happened right before my eyes.

Yet why did she smile? Is she that desperate to die?

I failed. I failed to stop her. I failed to be her friend. This is my fault.
