"Y-You're lying!" My voice started shaking.

"I wish I am, Win." Max sighed, staring at me. "But I always feel that's something is wrong about him, he does not feels right. Everything, everything about him is just lies. Pinapaikot ka lang n'ya Winter."

"Y-You were just saying this to break us apart!" I groaned but he just shook his head and tried reaching for me but I moved away.

"Hindi," Iling n'ya. "This is all true, look!"

Nagitla ako nang may ilahad s'ya sa aking envelope.

"I searched everything and found this!" Alok n'ya sa akin ng envelope at nanatili akong umiiling.

My heart feels heavy, ang mga mata ko'y hilam sa luha habang nakatitig sa kanya at umiiling.

"Y-You're lying...Warrion won't do that to me! He won't lie!"

"But he did!" He exclaimed, stopping me. "Stop defending him, Winter! He has a lot of secrets!" Kinuha n'ya ang laman ng envelope at ipinakita sa akin.

"Look! This is him!" Inilhad n'ya ang mga nasa papel at natigilan ako habang nakatitig roon.

"It's you, right? This was years ago! When you and Summer went to the camp! He was there! He is the reason you two went there!"

Hindi ako nagsalita. Nanginig ang kamay ko habang nakatitig sa litratong ipinapakita n'ya.

It was me, indeed, with Warrion. He was wearing his military uniform there, smiling on the camera with his arms wrapped around my shoulder. Sa tabi namin ay si Ate Summer na malaki ang ngisi at nakapeace sign sa camera.

My heart hammered painfully, habang nakatitig roon ay nawala nanaman ako sa sarili. Sa muling tunog ng paghampas ng alon sa dalampasigan at mga bato ay s'ya ring malakas na pagtunog ng baril sa utak ko.

Napatayo ako, my body started shivering, wala sa sariling tinakbo ko ang dagat, sinusubukang hanapin ang Ate pero tanging dagat nalang ang nakita.

"Winter!" I heard a voice but my head is filled with such guilt and pain.

I stared blankly at the sea and my body weakened when I saw how the blue sea turned red. Sa pagtama ng pulang tubig sa paa ko ay hinabol ko ang hininga.

"W-Winter...you have to save yourself! Run!" Ate Summer's voice filled my ear.

"N-No...No, Ate! I won't leave!" Hagulgol ko.

I saw the red water pulling my sister away from me. Marahas akong umiling sinubukang tumakbo palapit sa dagat para kunin ang Ate kong papalayo pero isang mahigpit na yapos sa baywang ko ang nagpigil sa akin.

"B-Baby no... No, no... Don't go there."

"Let me go! Let me go!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, pushing the man behind me away but he was so strong.

Isang hawak lang sa t'yan ko ay nabuhat n'ya ako palayo sa dagat pero nanatili akong sumisigaw.

"Ate! No! Let me go! I have to save my sister! Let me go! Let me go!" I cried harshly.

"Let me go! Let me go!" Sigaw ko at suminghap. I cried harshly, pushing the man, nang magtagumpay ako ay muli akong tumakbo sa pulang dagat para kunin ang kapatid pero muli akong nahuli ng lalaki sa likuran ko at mabilis akong niyapos.

Naramdaman ko ang marahas kong pagbagsak sa hangin kasama ang lalaki sa likuran ko.

I cried more, tumititig sa dagat hanggang sa mawala ang kapatid.
