Edward's POV

"Hello sir Edward!", call from unknown number

"Yes hello, who's this?", I asked, his number was not registered on my contact list.

"Sir, I'm Lander. Yung messenger na inutusan niyo po na maghatid ng package kay Ms. Entrata", sagot nito.

"Ah yes. Thank you, she got the package already. Thank you for yout fast service , did you have it now?', I asked him to take it back once its done.

"Huh! Nako sir, kaya nga po ako napatawag. Hindi pa po ako nakakaalis kasi nagka problema po sa service na ginagamit ko kaya hindi ko pa po na ide - deliver kay ma'am ",

"Shit!",

"Nako sir sorry po talaga",

I ended the call and hurriedly goes out of my office.  

"Edward saan ka pupunta? ", tanong ni Marco nang makita niya akong nananakbo palabas ng building.

"Marco I can't explain it to you now, I really need to go", I said, he's running with me.

"But at least tell me why?", he still insist to know the problem.

"It's May. I need to see her now", I answered him while taking my keys on my side pocket.

"I'll go with you", he said.

"Fine. Let's use my car ", I suggest.

Once we climb in, I step on the speed gas and drove as fast as I can.

"Now tell me, what's going on?",tanong ni Marco.

"I asked someone to bring the package to May, pero hindi siya nakarating because of some stupid emergency", I said, I'm nervous, I'm scared. I don't know what to do.

"Then", Marco asked again.

"May dumating na messenger sa batangas, the place where we hide....damn it", I think May get kidnapped again", my hands are shaking.

"Did you already call her. Are you sure she's been kidnapped again?",Marco asked again.

Wait...I didn't called her yet.

"Here's my phone. Can you do it for me?",

"Ok", he take my phone and dialed May's number.

"What?", I asked him.

"Nag ri - ring lang eh", he said.

"Try again", utos ko.

"Ganon parin Edward,  walang sumasagot", he said.

"Damn it. Tama ang hinala ko, natutunton kami ni Hershey. Pero paano?", sabi ko sa sarili ko.

After few hours...

Nakarating din kami ni Marco ng batangas. I was hurriedly goes inside the house and search for her, and found out a letter on the table.

Hey love,

     How sweet! Sana ganyan din tawag mo sa akin. Sinabi ko naman sayo eh, Lahat kaya kong gawin. Ang dali niyo naman  palang mahanap. Ang dali ko din siyang nakuha. Nandito siya kasama ko. Wag ka mag alala. She's peacefully sleeping dahil sa pampatulog na ginamit ng tauhan ko.

     You provoked me Edward. Mabait pa sana ako kaso matigas ang ulo mo, ayaw mong sumunod. Now, there is no choices left Edward. I will give you an hour to find her, if you didn't make it, I think it's time to say goodbye to your love.

   Since hindi ka magiging akin, you won't have her. Patas lang di ba. One hour lang Edward, one hour para ma save mo ang babaeng mahal na mahal mo. Ang babaeng kaagaw ko sayo.

    Nga pala, since mabait pa ako, three hours ang time na naka set sa bomba na nakakabit sa katawan niya. Poor May, pag sumabog ang bomba, hindi niyo na siya makukuha pa ng buo. Pakibilasan ha.

   Nga pala, pakisabi kay Marco thank you sa pag tulong niya sa akin. He'll get what he wants.

   We'll be waiting then...

Lots of love...
Your nightmare

MARCO ???

"Marco!!", sigaw ko sabay takbo palabas ng bahay.

Naabutan ko siyang nakatayo sa tapat ng kotse.

Oras na nakalapit ako sa kanya, isang malakas na suntok ang ibinigay ko na tumama sa mukha nito . Nakita ko ang pagputok ng gilid ng labi niya, pero hindi ako nagsisisi sa ginawa ko.

"Hayop ka Marco, ahas ka", galit na galit na sabi ko saka ko siya sinuntok muli.

Hindi siya lumalaban o umiiwas man lang. Na ipinagtaka ko. Humihingal ako sa pagod at galit ng mga oras na yon. Pagod kakasuntok kay Marco at galit dahil siya ang dahilan kaya nawala na naman si May sa kanya.

"F***  Marco. Anong ginawa niya sayo. Bakit Marco ? Bakit ?", sunod sunod na tanong ko.

I really don't know want to do, where to find her, knowing she's in great danger now. I've felt useless. I was crying, my knees felt like jelly and I can't handle to stand anymore. I was losing hope. I will lost her again, where on earth can I find her....where? I pull my hair up, trying to think what should I do.

No matter how I tried to keep her safe, Hershey always find us and take her away from me.

"Why are you crying?" , I asked her, she just looked at me bout a second and turn her head away from me.

I'm always watching her from a far and when we're beside each other, I'm just quiet coz I don't know how to talk to her, when prom is coming, I'm so happy that he got my name out of many. That, I take the chance to get close to her by being mean. Not so mean but I love teasing her or make her mad at me, she's just to cute and irresistible,  when I saw her that night , wearing a dress. My heart says...yeah. she's the one. But when that accident happened which I really don't know, she think of I'm one of them, but no. I'm the first one who's been hurt because of what happend. Then I never saw her again. I've made a promise that I'll find her...in the right time.

Now that she's with me, I've lost her again. I've waited for so many years,  nine long years was like a nightmare. Call me stupid for loving her without even knowing if she feels the same or she just hate me, all those years.

"May...where are you?", I mutter to myself.

I've felt warm on my skin. Second time I cried for her, coz I'm scared to lose her forever. She gave meaning to my life, She's the reason behind my smile, She's my light, my strength, the reason why I'm dreaming, the reason why I'm working so hard, to give her a future that she deserves, she's my everything.

The only girl I love for all my life... the girl I wanted to spent my whole life with and be a mother to our child. A girl I can call "my better half"....
