Yzylla:

"I couldn't promise not to kill that scamp." I coldly affirmed matapos nitong palabasin sa kwarto ang lalake. He was humanely accompanied by Cyprus' men—which he supposed not do! Binalaan ko si Cyprus at naniningkit ko siyang tinitigan. "He had served as a look-out—nakinabang din siya sa perang ibinayad sa kanila. He should be f****ing tortured, Cyprus!" My anger just consumed me. What more if Axiel would know this? She'd immediately get her gun and shot his bloody head right before her!

Cyprus puffed an air. "I promised him custody for his family kapalit ng pagsisiwalat niya sa mga taong siyang pumatay sa mga magulang ni Axiel. If you really want to insist that—go and get him after serving justice to Axiel's parents." I heaved an exasperating sigh coz the hell he was right! Sa lahat din mga kaibigan—I always gave way for his opinion. I smirked.

"Fine, moron!" I was thinking about Axiel's reaction when she knew about this. She'd probably got the worst one—her haunt for years. Shall I call her? I got my phone out of my pocket.

"You'll call and inform Axiel about this?" I frowened as he said that and searched her number. Damn! Kailan pa 'tong gagong 'to ngaing manghuhula? Hindi ko siya sinagot.

The door suddenly opened again. Before I dialed and reached for a call to Axiel. Her familiar physique entered the room! Everything was a slowmo. Nakatingin ito ng diretso sa'kin—all blank. Saka niya hinarap si Cyprus.

"The hell didn't you tell she's coming?" I stood up like a lightning here and stole her eyes away from Cyprus—nakakainis lang! Nagtapo ulit ang mga mata namin. How many times I coaxed myself to forget those?

"Let's talk about that later, Yzylla. For now, thanks for coming, Axiel. Please seat down." Talaga lang ha? At kailan pa sila naging magkaibigang dal'wa!? Doe it mean, he'd been connecting with her all the time!?

Tumango-tango bago ako bumalik sa upuan ko. Pero alam ko—ramdam ko ang pagragasa ng dugo patungo sa mukha ko. I am so f***ing red of anger!

Humanda ka, Cyprus!

"Thank you for..for everything." I heard her soft voice. Hindi ko ito nilingon. Was she telling that bastard? Pinaseselosan ko ba ang sarili kong kaibigan like f**k!? "Yzylla." Napaiktag ako when she uttered my name—as if I was calmed by an angel. Parang bigla akong hinatak mula sa empyerno—her sweet mesmerizing voice..

I stared at her. Noon ko rin lang napansin na lumabas si Cyprus. He better do!

"W-Were you saying something?" F**k. Sa kaniya lang naman talaga ako nauutal ng gan'to!

She slowly nodded. "Thank you and to your friend, Cyprus.. I thought, you had forgotten about this—hindi ko inaasan na tutulongan mo pa rin ako." I bitterly smiled. I knew what she was trying to imply—that last goodbye scene days passed. Maging ako rin naman. Hindi ko na ini-expect na magkikita pa kami. Siguro nga't magpapasalamat na rin ako sa gagong Cyprus na yun matapos ko siyang sakalin mamaya.

I was supposed to open my mouth and replied cheesy things but the door opened again. Napabuntong-hininga ako. Next time!

Axiel:

I immediately head straight here when Cyprus called me and told me things I was less expected. We're not friends but I knew he's a friend of Yzylla and been working as his private investigator. A good one!

Seeing him today and inhaling that familiar scent of him made me realized how I terribly missed Yzylla. Pero alam kong hindi ngayon ang tamang oras para sa kung anong nararamdaman ko sa kaniya.

Bumukas uli ang pintoan at pumasok ang kaibigan nito but he was not alone—a familiar woman was following him, slowly.

Pinaupo niya ito sa bakanteng upuan while she was

Bowing her head down. Saka nanginginig nitong tinanggal ang hood ng jacket. I scrutinized fully her whole face. She seemed in her 40's now, slender, brown—why was she so familiar?

I know this was the second witness Cyprus told me over the phone. Every puzzle will be unveal tonight. While I was driving to here—I was watching the first witnessed through a live video linked to me by Cyprus. And how Yzylla punched that f***ing man!

And yet, he was threatened not to speak. Himself and his own family! Kaya ngayon lang ito naglakas loob—when he once served as a look-out that night.

"Is she familiar, Axiel?" Cyprus. I was still glaring closely at the woman who was very nervous at the moment. Yes, I do.. Isa siya sa kasambahay sa mansyon noon.. Oo, tama!

"Isa ka sa mga katulong namin, right? When my parents were still alive?" Tanong ko at tumingin ito sa'kin. She was pretty scared! She was threatened too, huh? Damn that f***ing mastermind devil!

"O-Opo, maam.." Mahina at nanginginig nitong sagot. Tumango-tango ako. I gotta calm myself coz we were just sewing all the puzzles—pero ramdam ko.. Mabubuo ito ngayon!

"Tell me what you know." Diretsahan kong sabi. Gusto ko mang pilipitin ang mga leeg nila ngayon para mapadali—I shouldn't be!

Umiiyak ito 'agad. Bago isinalaysay lahat..
