Chandler was left dumbfounded as he watched Savanna walk away. He wanted to chase after her and beg—his pride didn't matter if the cost of keeping it was her.

However, Chandler kept his word. If this is what she wanted and what would make her happy, then this is how it should be. So, he pressed his eyes shut to grab a hold of himself.

Chandler recalled the promises he made to her in the past. He swore to protect her, but he failed, and Savanna had to pay the price. All the pain he was going through will never atone for all the years she suffered because of him. That was what he thought. Hinding hindi na siya makababawi dahil hindi na babalik sa kaniya si Savanna.

Chandler felt rage for everyone who stood between them, for the wrong timings, the bad decisions, and most especially to himself. This was all his fault.

Chandler's shoulders began shaking as his eyes turned bloodshot. He clenched his fist so tightly that veins became visible on his whole arm.

The corners of his eyes dampened. The intensity of his pain made him gasp for air and take short breaths.

Paulit-ulit binagsak ni Chandler ang kamao sa manibela. Wala na siyang pakialam kung masira man ito.

Ilang beses niyang tinanong ang sarili kung paano niya nagawang sabihin na hindi niya anak ni Sylver. Paano niya nagawa 'yon sa sariling anak?

Tama ba talagang hindi ipaglaban kahit ang anak niya?

Wala na sa tamang wisyo si Chandler nang makatanggap siya ng mensahe mula kay Maureen. Isang mensahe na siyang nagpakulo lalo sa dugo niya.

Nahanap na nila ang lalaking sumusunod kay Maureen noong araw na mawala si Savanna.

Agad na pinaandar ni Chandler ang kotse. Nawala sa isip niya ang usapan nila ni Savanna dahil sa matinding galit na nararamdaman.

Nang makarating siya sa bahay ni River ay hindi na siya nag-atubili pa't hinanap na ang mga kaibigan.

"Hoy, ayos ka lang?" tanong ni Calvin, ito ang unang bumungad sa kaniya pagpasok sa bahay.

"Oo, Calvin. Ayos lang siya," nanunuyang saad ni Calvin sa sarili.

Hindi niya pinansin ang kaibigan at dumeretso na sa basement ng bahay. Do'n niya natagpuan sina Shon, River, Maureen at ang lalaking nakagapos sa silya.

Nakapiring ang mga mata nito at naghahalo na ang dugo't pawis.

"That's him?" tanong niya kay Maureen.
