LAHAT SILA ay nagulat sa kanilang natuklasan. Ang inaasahan nila ay si Saffira, the guardian of the water of life at hindi ito si Saffire na asawa pala ni Cassian.
"So, she's the reason why you're here with us."
"Yes, she is," dagling tugon naman ni Cassian habang nakatingin ito sa asawa nitong limang taon na nagtago sa kaniya.
Napatango-tango nalang sila because it makes sense now. Kaya pala bigla nalang itong nakisama sa misyon nilang ito dahil ang pakay niya ay hindi ang Water of Life kundi ang guardian mismo nito.
"What's her name again?" Azumi asked.
"Saffire Merian Lycaon," Cassian answered while he can't take his eyes away from Saffire.
God knows how he much she missed her wife. Hanggang ngayon ay pala-isipan pa din kung bakit ito lumayo at hindi na nagpakita sa kaniya ng limang taon.
"Saffire? Can she possibly be Saffira's daughter?" Inigo asked out of curiosity.
Napatingin naman ang lahat sa kaniya dahil may punto naman siya sa tinanong niyang iyon.
"Why do you know my mother's name?" tanong ni Saffire na ngayon ay nasa human form na nito. Ang buntot nito ay naging mga paa ng tao.
"So you're really is Saffira's daughter? Unbelievable. HM didn't mention this," Queenie stated while she's staring at Saffire.
"I am and now, I'm the current guardian of the water of life," pagpapakilala nito sa sarili.
"Where's Saffira then?" Azumi asked.
"She's dead."
"I'm sorry," dagling humingi ng paumanhin si Azumi kay Saffire. "It's okay. I already move on."
"So that's the reason why you left me?"
Hindi na mapigilan pa ni Cassian na maitanong iyon sa kaniyang Asawa. He just want to know what made her run away from him.
"Of course not, I left you because you're a cheater!" Saffire angrily hissed at him.
Senenyasan ni Azumi ang iba pa na lumayo muna sa dalawa para hayaan itong mag-usap.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Cassian asked in disbelief. "Me? A cheater? Yes, I'm a playboy but that was before I met you. I change because of you but you just left without telling me a single word. And now, malalaman ko nalang na ang dahilan ng pag-alis mo ay dahil sa hindi ako nagging faithful sayo?" Inabot niya ang mukha nito at hinawakan iyon. "God knows how much I love you Saffire. God knows how faithful I am to you."
"Don't touch me!!" Marahas niyong tinabig ang kaniyang kamay. "Because I know you're just lying to me."
Sinubukan niya itong lapitan pero agad rin itong lumalayo sa kaniya.
To be treated this way makes his heart bleed in pain. At sa tinagal-tagal ng panahon ay ngayon nalang muli siya naluha ng ganito.
Is this how it feel to be rejected by your mate?
His eyes then settled to his wife that is also crying like him. Gusto man niya na siya pumahid niyon pero hindi niya magawa.
Bakit ba tayo naging ganito Saffire?
"Can we go back to what we were before?" he asked, hoping that he gets a good response.
"No," Saffire answered. "Because no matter how hard I try, there's no way you'll love me like how you love Trina."
Kumunot ang kaniyang noo sa sinabi nito.
"So all of this is because of her?" He said. "For God's sake, Trina is just my friend."
"Friend?" Mukhang hindi kumbinsido ang dalaga sa kaniyang sinabi. "May friend bang gabi-gabi nalang kung mag-sex?"
