"You're spacing out again." Jared snapped his fingers infont of my face.

Wala akong nagawa kundi ang bumuntong hininga. I received a text yesterday from Antonio. Stating that I should marry Emperor Jonald so that mommy can be free. Nanginginig ang buong sistema ko sa tuwing sumasagi sa isip ko ang salitang 'buhay si Mommy'.

Paano? I was there. Nakita ko kung paano bawian ng buhay si Mommy ng lalaking bumaril sa kanya. How? O ginagawa lang ito ni Antonio para mapapayag ako sa gusto niya?

"Buhay si Mommy," I murmured and I'm sure he heard it.

"How can you be so sure, Ven?" Tumabi sa akin si Ja— I mean Red sa kama at iniyakap ang kanyang braso sa'king beywang. "May mga proweba ba? You can't just move without thinking about the result. What if set up lang ito ni Antonio? You know your father, Venice. What he wants is what he get. By hook or by crook."

Nagpakawala ako ng isang malalim na buntong hininga. "That is what I'm thinking. Pero hindi maalis sa sistema ko ang umasang buhay nga si Mommy. I've been yearning for her hugs and care. Gusto ko ulit siyang makasama, Red." Mariin kong pinikit ang aking mga mata nang namalisbis sa aking pisngi ang mga luhang kumawala sa kanilang hawla.

"Hush..." He wiped my tears and kissed my temple. "Gagawan natin 'yan ng paraan, okay? Just dont give up. Ano bang sinabi ni Antonio sa'yo para makuha mo mommy mo?"

I remain staring on the horizon and answer lifelessly. "He want me to marry Emperor Jonald Dimitri."

"You what?!" Tumaas ang tono ng boses nito. He held my both shoulders and made me face him. "You won't, right?"

"If it means having back my mother, why not." I chuckled nonchalantly.

"No!" Tumayo ito sa harap ko kaya nag-angat ako ng tingin sa kanya. "That will never happen, Venice. It will never will."

"But it is the only way to have my mother back. What should I do?" Naguguluhan na ako sa nangyayari sa buhay ko.

Napatingin ako sa kanya nang lumuhod ito sa harap ko. Hinawakan niya ang kamay kong nakapatong sa aking hita at pinisil ito.

"Don't do it. Andito pa ako, Venice. Mahal mo ako diba? 'Di ba? You—"

"You will hurt me." I cut him. "Sasaktan mo rin ako pagdating ng panahon. If I will marry Emperor Jonald, my pain will be worth it. Makikita ko ulit si Mommy—"

"You're wrong, Venice!" Tuluyan na siyang sumigaw. "Hindi kita sasaktan! Stop thinking those shits! Don't you trust me?"

Umiling ako. "I trust you. But I can't trust time. Time will always be a traitor, Red. It is a traitor." Tuluyan nang pumiyok ang boses ko.

"No." He shook his head and kissed the back of my hand. "I won't hurt you. Kung sasaktan kita, doble ang sakit na mararamdamn ko. Not just double, but it will triple. Just like now. You're crying. Nadudurog ako, Venice. Nadudurog ako." He took a deep breath. Nilapat niya ang aking kamay sa kanyang pisngi. "Don't think about marrying the emperor, Baby. We can find ways to have your mother back. Just please don't marry him. It's a suicide for me."

Hindi ako sumagot. I took a deep breath and shook my head. Tinignan ko ang wall clock.

"It's already nine. Wala ka bang training ngayon kasama si Sir Jace?"

Umiling ito at malungkot na ngumiti. "No. Daddy said that I should rest."

"Ahh." Was all I said. Wala na akong ibang maisip na pag-usapan naming dalawa. My mind is blank.
