Astrid Pov.

Dumating na yung araw na pupunta kami sa bahay nila Kyle. Nasabihan ko din sila Papa tungkol dito pumayag naman sila dahil magandang opurtonidad daw ito.

Ilang oras na rin kaming nagbabyahe papunta sa bahay nila. Tulog yung iba samantalang gising si Xander dahil sya ang nagdadrive, at si Kyle dahil nagbabasa sya. Ako naman ay napapatugtog habang nagiisip ng magandang plano para patayin sya.

And with that thought, my heart tightened.

Napahawak ako sa dibdib ko dahil doon, nakita ko namang napatingin sakin si Kyle kaya kinuha nya ang ulo ko at sinandal sa balikat nya. Pilit naman akong kumakawala pero mas lalo nyang hinihigpitan ang kapit nya sa ulo ko.

"Rest," he command. I roll my eyes and face him.

"I'm not tired," I stated, he just stare at me and I just find myself familiarizing his features.

"Cai, let's go," one boy ask me.

"But Ky? They need our help, let's go save them," I said and dragged him along with my hands. But he grab my hand and let me face him.

"I know, so we have to leave this place and ask for help," he said but the kids are in danger too.

"But they need us-" he cut me off.

"Yes, but we have no choice, they're too many." I stare at him and look at the children's shouting for our help. I just sigh and nod at him.

"Good, let's go,"

"Trid?" I came back to my senses when Kyle call my name. What's that? Is that part of my memory? I don't remember having a friend when I was just six years old, wait. I don't remember my childhood either.

"Are you okay?" Kyle said while tapping my shoulder.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine." tumango sya at pinahiga ulit ako sa balikat nya pero sa pagkakataon na ito, hindi na ako umangal.

"Rest now, Trid."

And I just find myself closing my eyes.

"Astridy, let's go." nagising ako sa ingay ni Aera.

"Tsk," napalingon naman ako dahil sa bigat ng braso ko.

Kyle is sleeping in my shoulder.

"What are you all waiting for?" I said and they just point Kyle.

"Easy," mabilis naman akong umalis sa pwesto ko kaya nahulog ang ulo nya sa kinauupuan ko dati.

"Argh," he groaned. I smirk because of that.

"Oh no," sabi nilang lahat at nagtago sa isa't isa.

"Rise and shine, Kyle," napatingin naman sya sakin at napabuntong hininga. Inayos nya ang damit nya at tumayo

"Let's go," he said, lumabas naman sya ng van kaya sumunod na rin ako.

Nang makarating kami ng main door ay nakita namin ang dalawang lalaki, tatlong babae. They must be the Acodism Mafia. So sila ang naguutos na patayin kami huh.

"Welcome to our humble home, ladies and gentlemen," sabi ng matandang babae na hula ko ay nanay ni Kyle. Tumango naman silang lahat maliban sakin.

"Hi Tita, I'm Natasha Aera Saavedra. Nice to meet you po," nakangiting pagpapakilala sa kanila ni Aera. She's so gullible and noisy, and I hate it.

"Dahlia nalang po, nice to meet you po," sabi ni Dahlia at yumuko.

"Tita, omy. I miss you Tita," sabi ni Mia at bineso pa sya.
