PS. unedited update. I divided my update into two kasi pangit pag ipagkakasiya ko sa isang chapter lang. Di ko mafeel.

Enjoy reading!

EXACTLY before 12 in the afternoon, everyone arrived at the place already. The higher ups, including Macey had the meeting at the place before they proceed to the mission. Macey held the actual map of the place where they in, and divided them accordingly. May mga assign sa house to house, and also in the evacuation center, including her.

Nang matapos silang mag-usap usap ay nagkaniya kaniyang punta na ang mga ito, but then, Macey advised them to take their lunch first before everything. They made a simple prayer, before proceeding. Una nilang ginawa ay ang pagdi-distribute ng mga food packs na hinanda nila para sa mga evacuee, while the others are busy on settling everything around, including the tables, and the tarpaulins, announcing that there would be free medical check-ups, and medications if possible.

Macey was in the middle of eating her packed lunch, after helping the people around. Hindi na kasi siya sumabay sa tanghalian kahit alam niyang siya ang nagsabing magtanghalian muna. She has to set aside herself first, and focus on her work. Inayos muna nila ang distribution counts, with the help of others of course, then when they're good to go, the settlement of each was navigated by her. Busy na din kasi ang iba.

She looked around to find Jaxon. Hindi na niya kasi ito nakausap nang dumating sila. Jaxon immediately distance himself to the crowed earlier. He grabbed Chin, to talk to her, and after that, she became busy, and didn't saw Jaxon anymore, pero Nakita niya pa rin ang kotse nito kaya't imposibleng umuwi na ito.

He stayed.

"Ngayon ka palang kakain?" Napatigil siya sa paglinga nang may kumausap sa kaniya. It was Chin. There's a hanky wrapped around her forehead, while wearing white shirt and jogger pants with rubber shoes.

"Si Jaxon?" kaagad na tanong niya. Siya ang huling kasama nito.

"Hanapan ba ako ng taong nawawala?" anito at umupo sa tabi niya.

Pinaningkitan niya ito ng mata. "Ikaw kaya huling kasama..." then she remembered something. "Anong pinag-usapan niyo?"

"Wala naman." Tipid nitong sagot. Kinuha nito ang baunan niya at naki-kain.

Napanguso siya. "Hoy ano nga?"

"About past."

"Maxine?" she asked.

Chin nodded while munching. "Yeah."

"Anong sabi?"

Chin sarcastically looked at her. "Masokista ka girl?"

She sighed. "I'm focused on my work here, but I'm pre occupied by Jaxon. Insecurities were eating me up." Aniya. Truth enough. She was too busy, yet she thinks of Jaxon. Worried that he will forget about her. He will completely think about Maxine, and Maxine and Maxine.

She's too worried to be erased to his world again, and she has to open him up. Lalo na't ang mga taong nasa hospital na 'to ay kilala siya at si Maxine. Everyone, and everything will remind him of Maxine and that's one of a hella scary shit.

"Isinama mo dito e."

"You know I wouldn't dare." She answered. "I was picking up the medical kits earlier when he came, and then he came with me here. I don't know why."
