CHAPTER UNO

•• 

PROTAGONIST'S POV :

 ••

Matapos akong magligpit ng aking mga gamit, naramdaman kong may lumapit sa deriksyon ko.

"Do you really have to go back there?" Malungkot niyang sabi. 
Tumingala ako only to see his sad face. I nodded.

"I have to, I need to, and I want to. You know my reasons Alexander." I replied to him.

"I will miss you! I want to come with you!" He said then pouted his lips as if he's a child which is, he's certainly not. I just chuckled in response.

"You know you can come with me." I suggested.

"..and you know how I wish to, but I can't." Mas lalong lumungkot ang mukha niya nang sabihin iyon kaya wala akong nagawa kundi ang lumapit sa kanya, and I hugged him tight.

"Yeah-Yeah. But I really need to go there, to find some clues right? You know how this is important to me, and sorry for leaving you behind here, we can still see each other. There's this app called Skype right?" I humorlessly laugh and suddenly I felt him hugging me back.

"But what if something bad will happen to you there while I'm not beside you, What If---" I stopped him. He is too worried for me. Hays but I'm still thankful and happy though.

"No, Nothing bad will happen to me. I assure you that." I give him an assuring smile. He just stared at me for more than a minute before holding my face and felt a kiss on my forehead which lead me on plastering a small smile on my lips.

"I will miss you Loving Elle" He sincerely said or more like whispered.

"I will miss you too Alexander." I replied.

After the farewell with my family and some friends here in Japan. I immediately went to the airport dahil baka mahuli pa ako sa flight. Yes, I'm going back to the Philippines and I just can't help but to feel this sadness inside me. I could still clearly remember that tragic night happened to us. But anyway, before I'll cry a river here (which is will never gonna happen), I still need to travel.

Ilang oras ang itinagal ng byahe ko papuntang Pilipinas. Mabuti nalang talaga at nasanay na akong umupo ng kay tagal kung hindi ay talagang tatayo nalang ako sa loob ng airplane. Tss.

Pagkababa ko ng eroplano ay agad kong niramdam ang hangin na bumabalot sa aking paligid. Napaka-layo ng weather na 'to sa pinanggalingan ko. Kung doon ay sobrang lamig, dito ay napaka-init naman.

Isang sasakyan ang huminto sa aking harapan nang ako'y makalabas ng airport. Isang driver ang bumungad sa akin at ako'y pinagbuksan ng pinto at nang ako'y makapasok ay bumati siya sakin.

"Good Day Ma'am!" Masiglang bati niya. Tinignan ko naman siya.

"Good day too."  I just simply replied and you could feel the coldness on my tone. But this is how I normally speak and also, I  don't like talking to someone I don't even know.

Hindi nalang nag salita ang driver, which is good. Dumungaw lang ako sa bintana at tumingin sa mga dinadaanan namin. How I missed here. It's been like 8 years already since I left here and went to Japan. I heaved a deep sigh. I better stop thinking about it...

"Ma'am nandito na po tayo,"  biglang sabi ng driver. Kaya napalinga ako sa labas ng bintana. Tanaw na tanaw ko na nga dito ang condominium ni Uncle Xander. Dito muna ako titira hanggang nandito ako sa pinas.

Matapos huminto ng sasakyan sa harap ng condominium ay agad akong bumaba. I sauntered inside without minding some pair of eyes on me.  

I was told that my room is number 214 which is located on the second floor of this condo. I haulted in front of a door. Holding the door knob, I twisted to open it. I quickly roamed my eyes around and I can't hide a small smile in the corner of my lips, well It's a nice place, just simple. Plain white and black. Tito Xander must really know my favorite colors. I went inside and placed my baggage near on the couch and sat there. I took a a breathe and closed my eyes. 

Pinaki-kiramdaman ko ang paligid. Ang tahimik ngunit kahit papaano ay nasanay na ako sa ganito. Sanay na sanay.

I stayed like that for more or less than three minutes before I got off the couch and stretched my arms. I probably have to take some nap. The fact that I got a jet lag ay kailangan ko pang asikasuhin ang mga papeles ko bukas para sa susunod na pasukan and I think that was just a week from now. Geez.

Kahit wala akong kakilala rito, kailangan ko paring pumunta rito. To find some clues behind that tragic night happened on us that I really didn't think that will happen. That night brings too much damage to me which I can hardly forget. It's like an arrow pierced on me and I was unable to dodge it. It striked me hard.

Kailangan ko silang hanapin, kailangan ko ng hustisya. Kailangan kong maghiganti. Alang-alang sa pamilya ko, gagawin ko ang lahat para mahanap ang mga bastardong responsibilidad sa nangyari noon.

I will definitely find them even if I'll take a risk, a risk that I'm willing to bet my own life for it.
