Last Night Of Innocence (ON-GOING)

Chapter 25

Its better to burn out than fade away.
  -Neil Young

Exactly one week.

A week where he never showed up.

And not having single idea where he goes. 

No texts.

No calls.

Nothing.

Just a mere hope that maybe, he might remember that someone is waiting for him to come home.

Or maybe...

I'm hoping for nothing.

But time is up.

She's starting to find him. A lot of her trusted people are currently busy for the task she gave on them. And they have started the investigation on the same day he told her that his parents are asking him to do some things.

She badly wanted to know, kung ano nga ba yung inutos ng mga magulang ng binata dito at kung bakit hindi na nito nagawang makabalik. Beside she don't have a any clue if it's inside or outside the country. Pero hindi yun magiging problema.

She have enough power. A kind of power which is enough to erased someone's existence but still she won't do it without any enough reason to do so.

Her people are now locating where he was last seen, what type of car he's using and it's last destination.

Ayaw niya sanang gawin yun. Matagal ng panahon na ipinangako niya sa sarili na hindi na hanggat maari ay mamumuhay lamang siya normal. Walang gulo. Walang kaaway. Walang problema. At higit sa lahat ay ang tuluyan na siyang makalaya sa kadena ng katotohanan.

Because of Chris, she was given a freedom to experience how peaceful life can be. Kung paano bubuhayin mo ang sarili mo gamit ang sariling pera mula sa sariling sikap.

Kung paano mamasyal sa isang mall na walang takot. Malayang makapunta sa lahat ng lugar na gusto niyang puntahan. Makausap at makakilala ng bagong kaibigan na walang iniisip na panganib.

At kung paano ipakita ang totoong ikaw sa harap ng taong nakapaligid sayo. Higit sa lahat ay magkaroon ng kalayaan upang makapag desisyon sa kanyang sarili. 

Five years. Yes, she was only given five years to do everything she want on her life and after that she'll be back on dark place. A place where she needed to play a dangerous role and put a beautiful mask to fight on what they believe.

She was born with some big responsible. Poor her.  She's stuck with it and there's no way out. No way to save herself from falling to deep slumber of her life.

Imagine having limited time to enjoy what her hearts wants for the rest of her life. Five years. Thanks for the five year's. Even though it was the only time she have she was still thankful. Well, she owe Chris a lot.

Because she know, he sacrificed himself for her. Minsan naiinis siya kung bakit kase naging babae pa siya, pwede naman siyang ipanganak na lalaki pero hindi nangyari.

Wala naman sigurong kaso kung ano ang maging kasarian niya kung galing lang siya sa isang simpleng pamilya. Pero hindi, dahil ipinanganak siya sa klase ng pamilya kung saan may paniniwala na mahigpit na ipinapatupad.

Tungkulin kung saan ang bawat babae sa pamilya ang siyang magpapatuloy ng isang importanteng tradisyon na sinimulan ng kanilang nakaraang henerasyon.

Oo nga pala. Wala siyang control on how the fate play and deal with people. Some people believe before a child will born from the womb of it's mother, his/her fate was already written.
