Ross:

I parked the car after he got out at pumasok sa loob ng malaking cathedral. I stepped out and noticed the good ambiance that surrounded the cathedral.

Huge trees were found anywhere, as if this place had been hidden out from the civilization. I was about to ask him if the car's GPS was working. Pero wala akong planong makipag-usap nang hindi tungkol sa trabaho ko.

Kung hindi lang talaga dahil sa mabait niyang ama—I could have flown back to Afghanistan and shoot Taliban rebels. Two weeks then.

Sumandal ako sa headboard nang sasakyan niya. I crossed my arms saka nagmatyag sa paligid. This place could be an easy nest for snipers—maraming punong-kahoy at mga talahib sa paligid.

Sino ba ang ipinunta niya dito ?

Don't tell me, nagdadasal ang kagaya?

Well. Ipinilig ko nalang ang ulo ko saka sumunod sa loob. I heard voices and tiny laughters as paced in. Hinanap ko kung saan nanggaling and I found a half-opened room where those voices came from a group of children. Nakaupo silang lahat at nagpalakpakan.

What's this? Sumilip ako and found him standing at the front together with this beautiful nun. Napakaamo ng mukha ng babae—and Yzylla's smile was beyond glorious.

Marunong din pala siyang ngumiti.

"Bukas ko nalang dadalhin ang mga pasalubong ko sa inyo, ha? Sinong gusting maglaro?" I heard him say as the children yelled. Sobrang saya nila sa simpleng pangako ni Yzylla. Did he organize this foundation?

I was consumed, my thoughts suddenly drifted away to the thought that I was thinking about myself when I was a child.

When my parents died and left with nothing, siguro nasa ampunan na rin ako. Swerte rin pala ako—I just thought about it now hearing those kids' genuine laughter and positivity over a simple thing?

Nabunggo ako ng isang bata dahil nagtakbuhan pala sila palabas. Huli na nang marealize kung nakatingin sa gawi ko sina Yzylla at ang kasama nitong madre.

"Mga bata, mag-ingat kayo.. Mag-sorry kayo sa bisita natin." Her voice was so angelic—paralleled to her beauty. Kaibigan ni Yzylla? Maybe. I friendly smiled as the two kids apologetically faced me again.

"Sorry po, ate.." Nahihiyang sabi ng isa. I touched her face and assured it was nothing. I even barely felt the bump earlier.

"I don't mind, don't worry. You both go now, maglaro na kayo.." I smiled as I said that. They were both cute and bubbly habang nakasunod ang mga mata ko sa kanila.

I missed this during my childhood. It still hurts. Napakurap ako ng ilang beses and tried to composed myself back dahil papalit sa'kin sina Yzylla.

"Sister Faye, my..bodyguard, Miss Zharte. Miss Zharte, this is Sister Faye." Alam kong umarko ng bahagya ang kilay ko rito—who knew he could be decent as this? Maybe when sister Faye is around?

Tsk! Wolves and vampires could transformed to their human-like form. Siya pa kaya?

"Hi, Miss Zharte, welcome to our humble cathedral. Mabuti naman at napasyal kayo pero 'di kaya masyadong delikado para sa'yo Yzylla ang magpapasyal ngayon?" She knew about the threats too? They seemed more close that I thought. Tinapunan ko ng tingin ang lalake—I frowned again, for the second time. Sister Faye was right.

"Knowing it was only a day after that shooting happened." So Yzylla here detailed the whole story to her? Wait, does she try to tell me something? It was pretty obvious!

"His head is as hard as a rock, sister Faye. Maybe you could talk to him?" Saka ako walang paalam na bumalik sa labas at tinungo ang nakaparadang sasakyan.

F**k! I silently cursed dahil kung hindi pa talaga madre si Faye—pinuno ko na ng litanya ang mga salita ko kanina. That was what I exactly wanted to instill to his bloody mind—masyadong delikado ang palagi niyang paglalalabas dahil sa sitwasyon nito. But damn, nakinig ba siya? No. Worst, he killed that son of a b*tch! Ikinanta na sana ng gagong yun kung sino ang amo nito and whose behind of all the threats.

He's such a dumd a*s!

But who knows? Makikinig siya sa isang sister Faye. And to hell I care! I got the pack of my cigarette and hell, it was quite a while now since the last time I had one cigarette. Sa may 'di kalayuan ay masayang naglalaro ang mga bata—nandun na rin sina Yzylla at sister Faye.

I puffed the smoke outta my lungs. F**k! It was too long since I quit smoking. I coughed bloody hard. Something inside assaulted my emotions—the surroundings here. Inalayo ko ang tingnin sa masayang paglalaro ng mga bata kasama nina Yzylla.

Pinagkasya ko ang sarili ko sa pagmamatyag sa paligid. Like damn it! Nanginginig ang kamay ko—what the hell's wrong with me?

This anxiousness inside brought these emotional attack within me—everytime I saw children happily playing around together with their family.

Nagkakaganito ako—naiisip ko ang pamilya ko.. Sina mama at papa noong gabi na siyang huli naming laro!

I exasperatingly whiff the cigarette smoke and discarded the feeling that I was still coughing—damn it, I want to forcedly relax my inner tension but the least I could do was to cover my ears or run away from here.

I was hearing my own laughter that night..

When somebody grabbed my cigarette stick out of my shivering hand. It was Yzylla who dared to intrude! His face was dark and stained with warnings saka itinapon ang sigarilyo sa damuhan.

"What the f**k? Why did you do that?" Maanghang kong sabi rito. My voice, it cracked and it was pretty obvious that I was shaken.

"May mga bata, they all have cancers and your smoking like a f**ing addict? What's wrong with you, Miss Zharte?" Tumalikod ito at bumalik sa kumpol nang mga bata. My mistake, yes. Kung alam ko lang na may mga sakit pala silang lahat—I should coaxed myself not to smoke here.

Yet I am incomparable than an addict, Yzylla. You didn't know anything.

A/N:

Dearest,

My apologies for being so idle lately. I got no inspiration. Lol. Not until now..

I had lots of things to consider first.

Yet surely, I always find time to continue writing. This is my drug. Lol.

Happy Sunday!
