Elizabeth's P.O.V.

The night our Commander sent me back here in our safe house, I didn't stopped crying since the chopper dropped me off. Hindi ako kumain. Hindi ko rin kinausap ang Mama ko. Wala akong ginawa kundi umiyak. Nagkulong ako sa kwarto hanggang makatulog ako dahil sa pag iyak.

Nagising ako ng may kumatok sa pinto. I didn't answer. I was not in a mood to talk. Sa halip, binuksan na lang ito ng kumakatok at kusang pumasok sa loob.

Tinignan ko kung sino ito. It was my Mother. She looked worried about me. Naupo siya sa gilid ng kama bago hinaplos ang buhok ko.

"Ayos ka lang?" Tanong niya.

Alam kong alam na niya ang sagot sa tanong niya. I'm not okay. Sino ba ang magiging maayos ang pakiramdam matapos kong ipahamak ang grupo namin? Alam kong dismayado silang lahat sa akin ngayon. Lalo ko pang dinagdagan ang problema nila Papa.

Napabangon ako at yumakap sa kanya. I miss her so much. I remember the time when I told her that I'm going to join the army. She was so mad. I bet that she was so happy right now.

"It's okay Elizabeth. You did your best."

"No. I didn't. I disobeyed our Commander, and now, Father is ashamed of having me."

"Hindi totoo yan. Proud sayo ang Papa mo."

"Ma, I wan't to talk to him. I need another chance to prove him that I deserve to join the army."

"Anak, that's enough. Tama nang isinali ka nila ng isang beses. Please. I don't want you to die early. I'm already worried about your Father. Huwag mo nang dagdagan pa. Ayokong mawalan ng asawa, at mas lalong hindi ko kakayanin kung mawawalan ako ng anak."

"Hindi po ako mamamatay Ma,"

"I said enough!" Napatayo na siya habang bakas sa mukha niya ang pagkainis.

Napayuko na lang ako dahil sa ginawa niya. I always thought that she believes in me. Nagkamali ako. Isa din pala siya sa mga walang tiwala sa akin.

"I'm so sorry anak, but I won't let you join the army again. Prinoprotektahan lang kita." Saad niya bago tuluyang lumabas ng kwarto ko.

Nahiga ako tsaka muling umiyak. I need to do something. Kailangan kong makabawi sa kanila. Sa mga kapwa ko sundalo. Suddenly, an idea popped into my head. I need to call Emmet.

Emmet's Father is a general, if only he could help me set a meeting with him. Makikiusap ako. Kahit anong misyon ay gagawin ko para mapatunayang kaya kong ipaglaban ang bansa. I would do anything. Even if I need to risk my life.

Agad akong napatayo at dahan dahan lumabas ng kwarto. Maghahating gabi na kaya naman tulog ang mga katulong sa bahay. Even my Mother was already asleep.

Alam kong delikado, pero lumabas pa rin ako ng bahay. Bitbit ko ang dalawang pares ng mamahaling hikaw. I saw an American soldier walking around our safe house. Agad kong tinawag ang pansin niya.

"Miss Fuentes? Why are you here, outside the house eh?" Tanong niya ng makita ako.

"I need your help,"

"What? Your Mother told me to ignore any of your request,"

"Here, you can have these," bulong ko habang inaabot ang gintong hikaw.

"Why are you giving me these earings?"

"That's expensive. You can have it if you help me with something,"

"What's that?"

"I need you to contact Private First Class Emmet Sander, tell him to come here tomorrow midnight,"
