Ang naiwan na lang dun ay yung dalawang kompanya nan nag merge

"sige po kuya tulungan niyo po akong ilagay sila sa car"

Si Ace andun din sa parents niya na mukang tipsy na din
Tinulungan niya yung ate niya

"kuya, meet mo na lang ako sa entrance. Paalam lang ako kay Ace mga 10 min kuya meet me there"

"ready na ba ang lahat Mr. Jacinto? Siguraduhin mong eto na ang katapusan nila"
Sabi ni Mr. Hernandez

"yes sir, handa na po ang mga bata ko, nag aabang na po sila sa parking lot, hinihintay na lang po nila umalis sila"
Tumango si Mr. Hernandez
"di ko na sasayangin yung pag kakataon na to. If this doesn't work, we still have plan B"

"Alright, Mr. Jacinto, let's go. We have some celebrating to do" Mr. Hernandez smiled and they went on their way first

Tinawagan ni Mr. Jacinto yung mga tauhan niya para maka kuha nang update
"sir sumakay na po sila Alexa at Ace sa sasakyan nila Mr. and Mrs. Gonzales"

Mr. jacinto was disaapointed of the news that he just heard
"ituloy mo pa rin ang plano, kill all of them!" and he hung up

"bad news?" tanonng agad ni Mr. Hernandez
"sir, sumakay daw po yung mga anak nila sa same car nang mga Gonzales"
Napangiti lang si Mr. Hernandez

"ohh, good. Di na tayo mag hihirapan to get rid of those little twats"
"well, this is our night tonight" he smiled as if he was already successful of his plan
_____________________________
Nag babantay na sa parking yung mga tauhan
"pare, aalis na sila tara na!"
Sabi nang isang lalaki

Sinundan na nila yung sasakyan
They put their speed limit high
Para habulin yung sasakyan nang Gonzales

"pre, bilisan mo baka mawala pa natin sila!"
"eto na nga oh!"

Pumantay sila sa car nang mga Gonzales
"tapusin mo na mga yan!"
They were trying to create an accident

They were getting close to the car
Konting space na lang mag kakabanggaan na sila
"boiii! Ano ba yan!"

They saw them turn the other way
"ohh!! Saan pupunta yun?!"
"basta sundan mo lang!"

They were arguing and they were eager to get rid of them
Nung nalaman nila na their way is to the police station
Bigla silang nag back out!

"wag na tol! Liko na lang dito, patay tayo pag nahuli tayo!"
While they were going to they're hideout they called their bosses
"tawagan mo na si boss!"
Inis na sabi nang isang driver

"patay tayo neto, di natin nagawa pinapagawa niya"
Tinawagan na nang isang kasama nila si Jacinto
"sir, bad news po"

"MGA INUTIL! PANO NIYO SILA NAPAKAWALAN??!! YOU BETTER DO YOUR JOB PROPERLY! MGA WALANG SILBI!!"

Binaba na ni Jacinto yung telepono
"Mr. Jacinto, relax may plan pa tayong isa"

Jacinto was out of breath from shouting.
"we just need the right timing" kalma na pag sabi ni Mr. Hernandez

Tumango lang si Jacinto, feeling guilty at ashamed

Alexa's POV
Sa wakas at nakarating na kami sa bahay
Safe and sound
Wala namang na injured saamin

"maam sure po kayong di niyo kailangan pumunta sa hospital?"
Tanong ni kuya
"di na po, wala naman pong nasaktan eh, tsaka baka mamaya masundan na naman tayo"

Inalalayan namin si mama at papa papunta sa loob nang bahay at kwarto nila
"pahinga na po kayo" sabi ko sa kanila
"pero kailangan pa natin pa imbistigahan to" sagot naman ni papa

"hon, bukas na, pahinga ka muna. We'll make sure to catch them" reassured ni mama
Tumango lang si papa

Nag paalam na si kuya to go home
"ingat ka po kuya"

"Salamat po, kayo din po"
"sure kang okay ka lang Alexa?" tanong ni mama
Tumango ako
I lied

I went to the kitchen to get some cold water
I was still shaking from what happened
I sat on the counter stool, still in shock
Thinking of what happened just a moment ago

"baby okay ka lang?" Ace held me in a hug
And from there I cried
"I'm sccared Ace, di ko alam kung sino sila. Or kung ano atraso namin sa kanila for them to act like that"

"Ace, di ko alam gagawin ko"
"shhh, I'm here. Hahanapin natin sila. we will tight the security, I'll inform my parents about this and also ate"

"magiging okay din ang lahat." he broke the hug and he looked at me in the eyes "I'll make sure of that okay?"
Tumango lang ako
And he hugged me again

I went to my room to change
And I finally calmed myself
I went downstairs
Where Ace was

Nakita kong may kausap sa phone
Ahh, baka si ate Kat

I went to the kitchen again to drink some water
I felt a pair of hands on my waist
And I smiled widely

"I told ate that I'll sleep here tonight, sinabi ko na din sa kanya about what happened. She told me she will deal with it tomorrow"
I turned around to face him

"thank you!"
Nagulat siya
"for what?"

"for everything, basta thank you"
I smiled
"basta para sayo"

He kissed me on my lips, passionately
I broke the kiss "pahinga na tayo" kumalas ako sa hug niya and went to my room

Sinundan niya ko in my room
He was going to lay in my bed
"ooppss!, di ka pa nga nag bibihis eh! Wash up first!"
I smiled sheepishly

"fine madam!"
He went to the bathroom
While he was there I borrowed some clothes from my dads closet

After he went out of the bathroom
Natulala na naman ako
Damn, so hot!

"excuse me, damit ko po?"
He waved his hands on my face
"oh sorry, here!"

He laugh at my expression
"what?"
"wala" pumasok na ulit siya sa washroom at nag bihis

I sat on my bed at pinaypayan yung sarili ko
"ang init naman" bulong ko sa sarili ko

Nung nakabihis na si Ace lumabas na siya from the washroom
"bakit naka bukas tong bintana? Di ba nakabukas aircon niyo?"
"nakabukas, pero ang init pa din eh"

"ayy sorry naman" sabi niya
I stared at him
He just smiled
________________________________
We are now lying on my bed
Ace facing the other side

Di pa ako makatulog dahil naiisip ko pa rin yung nangyari
Natatakot na ko lumabas nang bahay
Baka mamaya maulit pa yun

What happened tonight got me an anxiety
And it's really bad

Biglang humarap sakin si Ace
He felt na gising pa ako

"oh gising ka pa?" he asked with a husky voice
"matutulog na din"
He hugged me tightly

"I will make sure no one hurts you. I will protect you"
I smiled when he said that
Sa yakap niya pa lang I feel safe na

"tulog ka na, we have may kailangan pa tayong huliin bukas"
Natawa ako bigla
I close my eyes trying to sleep

Maya maya lang nakatulog na din ako
In Ace's arms

Mananagot kung sino man ang gustong pumatay sa amin
Hinding-hindi nila makukuha ang gusto nila
