Do you want me to play along with you Aphrodite Megami Aurora?"
His stoic features became amused.

"Exactly what are you doing here ?" There's no point in denying. His eyes soften, muscle relax. Sumandal sya sa kanyang upuan na parang nasa bahay lang. There I saw the Chad I've known.

I admit I am still angry. He leave me hanging before. Akala ko he will stay beside me especially in hard times that I have faced. I've tried to be by his side but he pushed me away, as I stumble he stamped on my heart as it broke into pieces.

"I heard about Athena and I have heard about what happened before." Ang mga salita nya ay parang hirap sa paglabas mula sa kanyang lalamunan. Napalis ang tingin ko dito. I remembered that horrible day when we run away from home. I exactly remember the day I heard about my mothers death, I wasn't able to see her. Lumipas ang ilang minuto bago siya nagsimulang magsalita muli.

"I'm sorry. That day I pushed you away, I died too..." Napatingin ako sa kanya. He pause and look right through my eyes. I see his vulnerable side like years ago.

"... I was in a situation that I don't want you to be in. Umayaw ako, lumaban ako pero wala akong magagawa dahil na sa kanya ang kapatid ko. You see, I loathe my father. We left him, even when we heard about his death, my mother mourn but she made sure we don't see it. Inilayo nya kami sa aming ama. Ngayon ko napagtanto kung bakit." I just listened as he speak. I can feel the weight of his words. I can see hurt in his eyes, even anger. He averted his eyes through the window. Madilim na sa labas.

"How are you now? What happened to you?" I asked. Hindi sya sumagot, sa halip ay nagtanong din sya.

"Can you forgive me ?"
Ilang sandali kaming nagkatinginan. Medyo gumaan ang aking kalooban. I heaved a deep sigh before answering him.

"Yeah. It's all in the past now, besides I've already moved on." I almost smile when I remember Ryu's cheeky grin. Wala sa sariling napahawak ako sa singsing na suot. It became my habit.

"I can see you're happy and confirmed na totoo ang balitang engaged ka. When I saw the photo of Kaizer and you, I already knew it was you. Napanood ko din ang video online." Nanatili ang tingin nya sa black diamond na engagement ring kong suot.

"How can you tell?" I asked him curiously. Madaming nagbago sa akin, sa pisikal at mental na aspeto maging mga gawi ko.

"Kitang kita naman ang pagbabago sayo. If I am not who I am then I will not recognize you. But my heart does." My smile waver. His face is serious.
Naputol ang paligsahan namin ng tingin ng may mag text sakin, its kuya saying that kuya Mitos and Mikos are there in the hospital. They were Athena's half brothers at kambal sila. Miyembro din sila ng Neon Notes, ang bandang sikat na sikat noong nasa college kami magpahanggang ngayon.

"I need to go back Chad." Inangat ko ang paningin ngunit wala ng tao sa harap ko. Halos ilan nalang din ang tao sa café.

As I walk past through the wooden door, He was there standing. I was startled at first. His serious face remains the same.

"Chad, nandito ka pa pala."  Instead of answering back, I feel a prick on my arms. I looked and saw syringe and my eyes went back at him.

"A-anong..." I feel dizzy, he then held me in his arms.

"Mahal kita kaya sinaktan kita. Ayoko lang na mapabilang ka sa mundo ko pero hindi rin pala maiiwasan ang ganito. Sana nga, sana sinabi ko nalang sayo." That was the last thing I heard before darkness engulfed me.

Chad what are you planning to do?
