"Are you sure about this? You promise you'll not regret this desicion?" He asked for the third time.

I laughed and nodded. "Yes, I promise. Sabi nga ni Zeya, I need this. I'm sure that this will help me."

"I'm still worried about you, Trinity."

"Don't. I'll be fine, Zeya's with me. Plus, titira ako sa bahay ng mag-asawang doctor." Tumawa ako.

"You could at least let me take you to the airport." He sighed.

Pinitik ko ang noo niya. "Okay."

"Thank you," He smiled. "and thank you for talking to me before leaving."

I smiled. "No problem, Raven. Kung hindi lang ako buntis, hindi naman talaga ako aalis eh."

Nandito kami sa isang coffee shop na exclusive lamang sa mga VIP. Dito piniling tumambay ni Raven para walang makakasunod samin. May mga paparazzi kasing sumusunod sa kotse niya kanina nung papunta pa kami dito.

"I'm pretty sure you'll be able to move on quickly. You're a tough woman." He grinned.

"Tough and Trinity Mendez doesn't sound good together, Raven. Stop." Tumawa kaming dalawa.

He sighed. "I don't want you to leave but Zeya's right. You need this."

"Maybe," I shrugged. "but don't you think mashado na tong mainstream? Tulad sa mga palabas?" Tumawa ako.

"Kinda but this is the only way to avoid every problem here." He said.

I nodded. "Makakahinga ako ng maluwag dun." Plus, I can focus on my pregnancy more.

"When are you leaving, by the way?" He asked before drinking his Frappe.

"Tomorrow morning. First flight." I said.

He choked. "What? Bukas agad? At first flight pa, ah?"

"Kuya Zaide and Zeya wants to leave the Philippines right away. Iniisip ni Kuya Zaide na hindi na ako safe dito kaya gusto niya akong umalis na agad." Tumawa ako.

I'm very thankful that I have Kuya Zaide and Zeya. I lost my family but they were there for me. They became my family. I thought Griffin was my family but I was wrong.

"Can't blame him," He shrugged. "magtext ka lang sakin kung magpapasundo na kayo." He said and I nodded.

"Thank you, Raven." I said.

"Anything for you, Trinity." He smiled.

Kinabukasan...

"Mamimiss ko to," Sabi ni Zeya habang iniikot ang condo. "mamimiss ko talaga to."

"I'm sorry. Kasalanan ko na aalis tayo." I said with a sigh.

Agad niya akong nilapitan at niyakap. "Trin, it's not your fault. Matagal ko na ring gustong umalis kasama ka. I'm just glad na pumayag kang umalis."

I hugged her back. "I love you, Zey. Thank you. Sa lahat lahat."

"I got you always, Trin." She chuckled.

Mayamaya pa ay nagtext na si Raven at sinabing paakyat na siya sa unit namin. Siya na ang nagbitbit ng mga malalaki naming bag at sinakay sa kotse niya. Yung pickup ang dinala niya.

Inalalayan niya akong makasakay sa kotse at tiningnan ako sandali. "Hay, sarap mong kidnappin."

Tumawa ako. "Papatayin ka ni Zeya."
