LUIS' POV

I walk towards my car.

Pumasok na uli si Kuya sa kotse pero hindi pa din sya umaalis.

Pumasok ako sa driver seat. Rs is sitting on the passenger seat while looking at the window.

Lumingon ako sa back seat. My jacket was on the seat. Where is Luna?

"Hey!"

"Oh, hon!"

"Where is Luna?"

"She is talking with two people. Maybe it is her mom and dad."

I nodded. Then silence cover the atmosphere.

Napatingin uli ako sa kanya. Suot pa din nya ang sunglasses nya. Mugto pa din siguro ang mga mata nya.

"I-I'm sorry!" I utter

Napatingin sya sakin. Ngumiti lang sya ng matipid.

"I-It's okay, Xyan. Althea is too fragile. She needed you as a friend. I can't blame you for loving a girl like her."

Then it goes. I saw a tears escape for her eyes but she quickly wipe it and face me with smile.

"She is so brave yet fragile. I understand how much you care for her. I-It just that. I-I can't stop myself f-from hurting."

"N-No, please don't be. I love you oka--"

"And yet you love her too."

She smile again, bitterly.

Then a tears escape again and followed by tears and tears. Ughh! She's crying again.

She remove her glasses and smile at me. Hinawakan nya ang mukha ko at pinagdikit ang mga noo at ilong namin.

"It's better to settle what you really feel for me and for Althea. I suggest you to go away for clearing your mind. Far from me and Althea. Think wisely, Xyan. I'll be waiting until you made your decision. If you chooses me, I am lucky. But...but i-if you... But if you choose her, I-I think, I should let you go."

Napapikit ako ng mariin.

Why do I have to choose?

I clear my mind for a while.

Ra'essah is my friend back then. She is so beautiful, kind-hearted, caring, loving and respectful.

She is perfect that's why I choose to love her.

Luna Althea?

I just met her a month ago. She is vulnerable. She is a fragile and expensive. I'm afraid to touch her 'cause I'm afraid I would break her.

What should I do?

"I'm l-leaving, Xyan. Please settle your decision."

I hug her tightly

I don't want to loose both of them. I can't.

Yeah! I'm too damn selfish jerk.

"P-Please, Ra'essah. Don't do this. Pr-Promise, I'll make it up to you. J-Just give me time to be with you again."

I heard her sobs. F*ck, I made a woman cry.

"Y-You really, w-wanted it?"

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Please, Ra'essah, my princess, my hon, please give chance to this pathetic j*rk."

"Please don't say those words on yourself. You're not a pathetic j*rk okay."

Hinarap ko sya sakin at tiningnan sa mata.

Pinunasan ko din ang mga luha nya using my thumb.

"Stop crying, hon. I can't standing seeing you cry."

She smile at me, a genuine one.

"I-I miss hearing those words from you."

"Tu me manques, Rs. Je suis un imbécile pour vous faire pleurer. l vous plaît, pardonnez-moi. Je t'aime, chérie. Je t';aime."

She smile widely. Her cheeks blushes.

"Tu me manques aussi, chérie. Je ne peux pas me pardonner si je te perds. Je te pardonne. Je t'aime aussi."

LUIGI's POV

I tap my fingers on the steering wheel.

Hinahanap ko ang presensya ni Althea. I want to sent her my deepest condolences and say sorry for her lost.

Pero hindi ko sya makita.

No sign of her everywhere.

My attention caught by a black van that parked infront of my car.

Two men in black came out and probably waiting for someone.

"F*ck!"

I cussed when I saw Althea. Wala syang malay at karga-karga ng isang lalaking naka-itim din.

Palingon-lingon sila sa paligid. Since my car was thick tinted, they cannot see me.

Anong gagawin nila kay Althea?

Sinakay nila ito sa van pero hindi pa sila umaalis.

A Mustang drove behind the black van. Bumaba ang salamin sa may back seat. Dumungaw ang mukha ng Daddy ni Althea.

Lumingon-lingon ito sa paligid bago tumingin sa mga lalaking nakaitim.

Medyo binaba ko din ang salamin sa may tabi ko para marinig sila

"Place her on the basement. No one should know what happen to her. I need Althea for my plan."

"Pero boss anak nyo sya diba?"

Mr. Knight smirk.

"Yes, she is. But hopefully not. Masyadong matigas ang ulo ng isang yan. Dapat sya na lang ang namatay at hindi ang kapatid nya."

I froze.

What did Mr. Knight say?

I swallow a lump on my throat. This is disgusting.

Umalis na ang Mustang pagka-abot ni Mr. Knight ng isang puting sobre sa naka-itim na lalaki. Maybe it contains the payment for what they did.

They are evil.

God! How did Althea get a devilish father?

I exhale harshly.

This is too much.

Nag-simula nang sumakay ang mga lalaking naka-itim sa van at maya-maya ay umandar na din ito paalis.

Tiningnan ko ang plate number at tinandaan.

I get my phone and call my police friend

"Hello? (Oh! Mr. Frey, long time no talk. What can I do for you?)
Listen Officer, my friend Althea has been kidnap. She is now in the van unconscious. (Whoah! Did you get the van's plate number? Iyong itsura natandaan mo ba?)
Yeah! It was a black ordinary van that probably contains 16 seat. The van's plate number is XSB 538. I'm going to follow them. (Saang direksyon sila papunta?)
Officer, papalabas pa lang sila ng Valentin Subdivision. (Okay, we will act right away)
Thank you. (Anything,  Mr. Frey.)"

Wait, Althea! I will save you.

Translation: French to English

"I miss you, Rs. I'm a jerk for making you cry. Please forgive me. I love you, hon. I love you."

"I miss you too, hon. I can't forgive myself if I lose you. I forgive you. I love you too, hon."
