Devyn:

Dahan-dahan niyang binitawan ang kamay ko ngayon. Gumalaw ang panga niya pero alam kong hindi ito galit o ano—he seemed..calmed.

Tumikhim ako.

"S-Sorry kung nagising kita." Kinuha ko ulit ang baso ko at inubos ang laman. "Hindi kasi ako makatulog, e." Dahilan ko. Hindi siya gumagalaw sa kinatatayuan niya ngayon. Matama niya lang akong tiningnan at hindi ko alam ang galaw ng isipan niya ngayon..

"That's not the answer I want to hear from you. Gusto mo na bang umuwi? I'll let you fly the early morning tomorrow—just tell me a definite answer." I looked at my glass now—seeking for my reflection na ayaw kong makita niya kung anong totoong reaksyon ko ngayon sa tanong niya. Kung ano ang totoong damdamin ko ngayon sa tono ng boses niya..

"I-I'll let you know tomorrow, Lorenzo." And I bit my lower lip—ano na, Devyn?

"Tama na yan, let's go." Kinuha niya ulit ang baso saka inilagay sa mesa. I was a bit startled when he didn't dragged me up but instead offered his hand first.

You're confusing my heart deeper and deeper, Lorenzo.. Saka ko tinanggap ang kamay niya at tumayo. We both walked upstairs—magkahawak-kamay! Nakatulog ako sa lakas ng tama ng wine pero alam kong gising ang diwa ko buong magdamag..

A decision has to made tomorrow—but this heart is stupidly interfering! Paano na?

Lorenzo:

"It's been a week since someone's tailing you and your woman, Enzo." My woman? That phrase bugged my brain. I sent my intensities to tito Philip—pulling my leg at this point was irrelevant. "Why? Isn't she your woman? You're killing me with that stare, Enzo." He chuckled but then breathe out. Hindi naman niya kelangang mag-alala sa'kin—of course, he knew that. Tito Philip here was speaking about Devyn and not me.

"She's not. And aren't we talking about Mista here?" May sarili akong plano para kay Devyn. I already asked her last night and she told me she'd give her answer today. Well, asking her that ridiculous question after she cried was absolutely senseless.

She badly wanted to.

"You know, son—I do know what goes into your head now. Hindi mo kailangang itago—I am to protect you as well, no matter what. But they're upto her this time, Mista knew how you valued Devyn." Nakaupo ako ngayon sa swivel chair habang nasa loob kami ng library room. Nakuyom ko ang kamao ko thinking what dark plans were in queued against Devyn. Ba't siya ang pinagdidiskitahan ni Mista? He'd better play harder that this..

"Mista be better play smart or otherwise the table will turn upside down and I'll make sure it'll fall straight to his f***ing face—I am not scared of dying, Tito. You know me." I greeted my teeth, gumalaw ang mga panga ko. My mind was being occupied with her pretty face—but sobbing that night.. All I wanted to do was to protect the woman who saved my life..

Pero heto't nakabuntot sa'kin ang panganib.

"And how about Devyn? Are you ready to see her die, anytime? You know Mista, too. He's damn stubborn." Matalim kong tiningnan si tito just what he uttered right now. Die? No!

"All I wanted was to protect your late tita Blanca. Hindi ko siya iniwan without my purpose, Enzo." He was referring to his late wife, tita Blanca whom I treated my own mother—she raised me well until she died. Ang alam ko, naghiwalay sila for always disagreeing about matters—maliban dun wala na akong nalalaman..
