"You better not waste my fucking time," salubong ni Trojan nang pumasok siya sa aking silid.

"If you don't cool the fuck down, you won't understand a fucking thing," Mariing sabi ni Marcus.

"Minah's in trouble and we are here for what? Making deals with the devil?" turo pa sa akin ni Trojan.

He was mad, I get it but this wasn't the time to fight him back. Even I was losing my temper. My mother just announced a day ago that the marriage would continue.

Today was Wednesday, kadadating lamang namin kaninang umaga sa De Cortesia atkasalukuyang tumutuloy sa hacienda ng mga Zorron nang may natanggap akong tawag mula kay detective Sillo. It was a private call upang hindi kami ma-track down ng ibang tao. He only explained me the important details to save time.

And I called Lierre's brothers to inform them about it.

"Are you ready to listen?" naiirita kong tanong.

The two only nodded and I took that as my signal to speak.

"Seven years ago, Lierre became a part of a fraternity that aimed to kill her," I said.

"Yes we still remember that. Nagbalik ba sila?" Marcus asked.

"Hindi na sila ang may pakana ng ngayon. Iba na ang may pasimuno," I answered.

"So, you are basically telling us na may bagong gustong pumatay kay Minah? And they aren't the same people as before," Trojan asked.

"Exactly," sagot ko.

"Kailan mo pa ito nalaman?" Trojan questioned.

"Bago pa tayo umalis."

"So, you fucking investigated about it alone again, huh? Tapos sinabi mo lang sa amin ngayon kung kailan malala na?" Trojan hissed.

This asshole. Kung hindi lamang ako problemado ay nasapak ko na ito.

"We have our own people to solve the case, Math. You shouldered enough for Minah. Let us continue and bring those shits down-"

"Marcus, I informed you about this to help me, not to take the responsibility," I cut in.

"So, what's the case all about?" Trojan asked.

I showed them a photo of Cj.

"She stalks Lierre around. I saw her when we were at Ilocos. Kinausap ko siya para sana makakuha ng impormasyon. Inabangan ko ang sundo niyang naka-motor," then, I showed them a photo of the man riding the motor.

His face had a long permanent scar. Nahirapan pa ang aking tauhan kuhanan ito ng litrato sapagkat hindi nito tinatanggal ang face mask.

"Fuck. He looks familiar," Marcus said.

"Name?" Trojan asked me.

"His information was too private," I answered Trojan.

Marcus was now dialing someone from his phone.

"Armagidon..." tawag ni Marcus sa kausap.

"Can you send me the details of the former specialist that has a scar on his face?" he asked on the other line.

"Sino ang specialist ni Minah ngayon?" he asked again.

I was literally confused. What was specialist mean and what the fuck was its pruporse?

"Sino ang dating specialist ni Minah?" Marcus asked.

"Bakit umalis?" walang katapusang tanong ni Marcus.

"Sige, salamat."

"Care to share?" I asked.

Marcus sighed.

"Sorry for confusing you. Our family is fucking messy," ani Marcus.

"And it's against the rules to tell you about it," Trojan said.

"Do you still think about the rules kahit pa may mamamatay na sa inyo?" iritado kong tanong.

"Our uncle, Dominiko Zorron, manages a spy organization... but the organization doesn't end there. They have many doings and shits na hindi na namin alam kung ano," Marcus explained.

"It was kept as a secret from us but tito Niko informed us about it years ago," Trojan said.

"Okay, so, anong konek niyan sa lalaking ito?" turo ko sa litrato.

"I saw him before. Ang alam ko ay former specialist iyan ni Armagidon. Pinalitan niya lamang noon dahil hindi niya gusto ang ugali," Marcus explained.

Now, I got more confused.

The only thing I understood was they had a fucking spy organization.

"What are fucking specialists?" I asked impatiently.

"Damn, we're doomed," Trojan whispered.

"If you want to know things from us, you need to cut out from your detective," Marcus said.

"Mainit ang mga mata sa amin ng mga tulad niya," Trojan said too.

"And if you really want to know shits from the organization, you need to take an oath of agreement," ani Marcus.

Wow, so much for a case, huh?

"Is your organization non-government?" I asked.

"Yes, private sector," Marcus answered.

"Local?" I asked again.

"Do you think we settle that low? International," Trojan answered me.

"Anyway, this man's information is on the way. Armagidon told us to wait for the bridge agent," Marcus announced.

"What is a bridge agent?" I asked unconsciously.

"They act like a courier," Trojan answered.

"Armagidon is the first born of your generation, right? And he handles this organization?" tanong ko.

"Yes. He quitted years ago, hindi naming sigurado kung bakit siya bumalik," sagot ni Trojan.

I let myself silent for a minute, thinking about what they told me.

"If I take an oath of agreement, what would happen to me?" I asked.

"It's a big risk, your life would be affected. You'd be under arrest by the organization para hindi ka magsabi ng impormasyon sa labas nito. You'd know about what you need but the consequence is you must not tell anyone about what you know," Marcus explained.

"What would happen if I say it to someone else?" I asked.

"You'd be executed. The organization has no mercy, Math," Marcus answered.

"Kaya nga we suggest to let us handle Minah's case. The information we need are too confidential at hindi pwedeng ipaalam kahit sa 'yo-"

"I'll do the oath," I said seriously.

They blinked several times.

"Are you fucking sure?" Trojan asked.

I nodded, "I want to solve this case, Trojan. Madali lang sa akin ang magtago ng sikreto-"

"Kahit kay Minah?" Marcus cut in.

Well... fuck.

"Hindi ba pwedeng sabihin kahit kaninong kapamilya ninyo?" I asked.

"If your case is still on-going, hindi maaari kahit sa amin. Once you work with the organization, hindi na kami ang makaka-usap mo because we aren't a part of it." Marcus explained.

"Unless... if Armagidon let us," Trojan unconsciously said.

"But he won't, for sure. He respects the rules more than the people," Trojan chuckled.

"I'll do the oath and I'll keep this one as a secret even from your sister," I said with finality.

Trojan smirked, "The things we do for love, huh?"

"You are in a relationship with someone yet you are sacrificing yourself for our sister. Sinong ginagago mo?" Marcus hissed.

"I just want her to be safe," I reasoned.

"Sure, like the old times," Trojan said sarcastically.

"I'll inform Gidon about this," ani Marcus at tinawagan muli ang pinsan.

If this scar guy was a former member of the organization before, bakit siya nasangkot sa kasong ito? Ano bang mangyayari kapag umalis ka sa organisasyon?

"You look puzzled," Trojan came near me.

"Yes because this shit is getting deeper than I imagined," I told him.

He chuckled, "So, why are doing this for Minah? Don't tell me the old reason, Andrei."

I sighed. Hindi koi yon masagot sapagkat wala akong mahanap na tamang salita.

"Fine, you don't have to tell me about it now," pagsuko ni Trojan.

Marcus turned around us and ended the call.

"He'll be here tomorrow secretly. We cancelled the bridge para isahang usap na lamang bukas," Marcus explained.

Our night ended there.

Kinabukasan, Huwebes, I was searching for basic facts about spies when the brothers knocked on my door.

"Nandito na," ani Marcus.

I didn't say a word yet I followed them. They commanded me to turn off any of my gadgets. Tahimik kaming pumunta sa pinakalikod ng hacienda at doon, may dalawang lalaking nag-aabang.

The man with glasses turned to me.

"Siya ba?" he pointed at me.

Marcus nodded as a response.

We were surrounded by trees, dito ba talaga naming gagawin ang oath?

"Well then..." Armagidon turned around and went to a tree.

He did something on it that later on, the ground below us opened, leading to an underground place.

Fucking fuck. May hideout sila sa likod ng hacienda'ng ito?

Nauna ang dalawang lalaki at sumunod kaming tatlo nina Trojan at Marcus. The door closed as Armagidon commanded it.

The atmosphere felt different for a normal person like me. They were too professional to even look at. I couldn't remember the path we took because it was too hard to follow. Narating naming ang isang kuwarto na pinturado ng puti at may mga upuan lamang na nakapalibot sa iisang lamesa.

So, we traveled down here for this.

"Gentlemen, do take your seats," pormal na sabi ng kasama ni Armagidon.

Umupo kami nang magkakalapit.

"Your full name is Monjardin Andrei T. Herjus. A chemical engineer, currently in a relationship with Arzyl Viray. You belong in a wealthy family. You are currently working with Renato Sillo for a case related with my cousin Minah..." Armagidon spilled.

"I guess you know the case already?" I asked.

He chuckled, "Of course."

"I'm surprised you willingly want to take the oath and work with us," aniya.

"I respect the organization's rules but I'd cut out some for you," Armagidon said.

"Since you're doing this for a family member of mine, I'll let you get in touch with Marcus and Trojan while the case is still on-going."

"All you have to do is to not fucking tell a thing about what you know. Cut your communications with Sillo and surrender your life on us," he said like some kind of business.

"I can do all that," I said.

He smirked, "The things we do for love, huh?"

Trojan chuckled. These men were fucking teasing me in a middle of a fucking problem.

That day, I took the oath. Nalaman ko na ang pangalan ng kanilang organisasyon ay LOST.

Acronym for Lord of Strategy.

Nang natapos ako roon, bumalik kami sa naunang silid at muling pinag-usapan ang gagawin.

"This is Jigaian Mortel, he is a professional special agent and you'd be working with him about the case," turo ni Gidon sa kasamang lalaki.

"I am not available to work with you because I have my own important mission," he said.

"I'm good with it," I said.

"Jigaian will help you in everything you need. The organization protects your identity from other enemies," ani Armagidon.

"Remember, don't tell anyone, specially to Minah. She is the victim and must not know any of this while the case is on-going," bilin ni Armagidon.

We all had an agreement and they didn't disappoint.

I fucking knew the information I needed.

Gabi na ngunit hindi pa rin kami tumigil ni Jigaian sa imbestigasyon.

Napag-alaman kong ang lalaking may hiwa sa mukha ay si Siasco Gatbonton. Dating specialist ni Armagidon at napunta sa ibang posisyon. He became one of the floaters: A person used one time, occasionally, or even unknowingly for an intelligence operation.

He quit the organization after his last mission. He took an oath before leaving and had been under secret investigation for a year. His life was simple, ayon sa nakuhang impormasyon.

Clarissa Jarra V. Villaviray was surprisingly related to Arzyl. Cj's true surname was Viray. We investigated Arzyl because of it and I knew that she was never close to Cj.

Marami pa kaming nahanap na sangkot na tao kina Siasco at Cj, karamihan doon ay mga dating kasama sa organisasyon.

"Maybe, these people are planning to avenge against the organization," Jigaian thought.

"Lahat sila ay dating kasapi ng organisasyon. Ayon pa sa time frame, nagsi-alisan ang mga ito isa-isa pagkatapos ni Siasco," he explained more.

That was what I also thought.

Dumating ang Sabado at sinabi ko sa magkapatid ang mga importanteng detalye. Pagkatapos kong kausapin ang magkapatid, napagdesisyunan naming kausapin si tita Olivia, ang nanay nila, pag-uwi sa Maynila.

Gabi nang Sabado nang tumawag sa akin si Arzyl.

"I heard about the wedding," panimula nito.

I seriously didn't know what to say but I planned talking to her personally about it.

"Let's break up, Math," she said.

Tila ako nagising doon.

"What? We can talk about this as soon as we return. I don't us ending things over the phone," I offered.

"No, good bye, Math," aniya at agad pinatay ang tawag.

Great!

I tried calling her again yet her phone was dead.

Pagbalik namin ng Maynila, inutusan ko sina Trojan at Marcus na kausapin ang kanilang ina ukol sa nalalapit na kasal upang kumalma ito. I'd talk to her soon, I just needed to clear things up between me and Arzyl.

Wala pa akong tulog mula sa biyahe ay dumiretso ako agad sa unit ni Arzyl. Thank God she didn't change her code so I was able to enter. Wala siya sa living room o kahit sa kusina.

I went inside her room and there I saw someone else. The woman was hugging Arzyl and I got confused. I exited the room and waited at the living room. Halos makatulog na ako sa kahihintay nang biglang may lumabas mula sa silid.

Arzyl's smile faded away as she saw me. The woman she was with called her by an endearment and got silent when she also noticed me.

"Andrei..." Arzyl whispered.

"Yes?" I asked.

"I'm... sorry," she said and her tears started to form.

By there, I already knew it.

"Kailan pa?" natatawa kong tanong.

I somehow felt betrayed.

"Matagal na..." she answered.

"Gusto mo ba talaga iyan?" I asked her.

"Yes. Very much..." sagot niya.

I nodded.

They explained to me what happened at kung kalian sila nagsimula. I had high respect for any gender and I was fine with them... ang akin lang ay bakit pa niya ito tinago sa akin at umabot pa ng limang taon.

Umuwi ako sa amin nang natapos ang aking bisita kay Arzyl. I freshen up to at least relax my mind. The week had been heavy to understand but I was glad that the process went smoothly.

I took a nap because my eyes couldn't help it anymore. Tanghali nang nagising ako muli at plinanong kumain ng tanghalian sa ibaba. Papasok na sana ako sa kusina nang bigla akong tawagin ng isang kasambahay.

I went out to see who was looking for me. Delivery lang pala, dumating na ang aking biniling singsing para kay Lierre. I ordered it online noong gabi ng Biyernes at dito ko in-address.

I'd give this to her as soon as the case got submitted.

Pumasok ako sa aming tahanan at kumain ng tanghalian. Pagkatapos ko roon ay umakyat akong muli sa aking silid upang tignan ang cellphone.

Jigaian called me ten times in a row.

I immediately called back as I saw it.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Alam kong dapat ngayon ko na is-submit ang file kay Gidon pero may kailangan kang malaman," aniya.

"I'll be there," agad kong sabi at binaba ang tawag.

I hurried dressing up. Aalis na sana ako ng kuwarto nang biglang tumawag naman si Trojan.

"What?" I answered him.

Tumigil muna ako saglit sa paggalaw.

"Wala si Minah, umalis. Pumunta sa reunion nila," Imporma niya.

"May nagbabantay sa kanya?" I asked.

"Mayroon," sagot nito.

"Then, why did you tell me about it?" I asked.

"Baka lang curious ka," tawa niya.

"Gago ka. Pupunta ako kay Jigaian ngayon. Daan ako kay Lierre mamaya," I said and ended the call.

Nagdala pa tuloy ako ng extra'ng mga damit. I unconsciously brought the ring with me and finally took the way towards Jigaian's hideout.

It wasn't that far from Lierre's location kaya hindi na ako mahihirapan mamayang puntahan siya. I knocked the code and automatically, a scanner scanned me. After many verifications, the door automatically opened and let me in.

"What is it?" salubong ko kay Jigaian.

"Take this first. You'll be shocked on what I found."

He handed me a Mendis Coconut Brandy VS, one of the most expensive drinks. Was his news really that serious for us to drink?

I drank a gulp of it and walked beside him.

"Live tape from earlier. This was recorded from your ex girlfriend's phone," he said.

Jigaian tapped the play button and the conversation started.

"Cj... hindi ko na kaya," ani Arzyl.

"Anong hindi mo na kaya?" iritadong tanong ni Cj.

"I broke up with him. Hindi ko naman siya mahal-"

"Putangina naman, Arzyl!" mura ni Cj.

"Ang tagal natin 'tong pinagplanuhan-"

"Ayaw ko ng masabwat sa balak ninyo-"

"Hawak mo na siya sa loob ng limang taon, ngayon ka pa titigil?" ani Cj.

"Ikakasal na rin naman siya kaya wala na akong laban doon," Arzyl reasoned.

"Alam naming ikakasal na siya kaya nga papatayin bago ang kasal, hindi ba?" ani Cj.

Fuck?

"Dadalhin mo na lang siya sa amin, Arzyl, anong mahirap doon? Pagkatapos namin siyang itumba, magiging kayo pa rin naman ng tomboy mo!" sermon ni Cj.

Arzyl was sobbing.

"Hindi ko kayang gawin, pasensya na. Naging mabait sa akin si Math, Cj! Itigil niyo na 'yan-"

"Walang makapipigil sa planong ito, Arzyl, kahit ikaw. Naubos ang buong oras naming guluhin ang lalaking iyon tapos ngayon ka pa susuko?" she pointed out.

Arzyl ended the call at hindi na muli sinagot ang kamag-anak.

I unconsciously drank a whole glass of the alcohol as I processed everything I heard.

"Did you get it?" Jigaian asked after he drank his.

I chuckled unconsciously.

"They want to kill me," I said the obvious.

"Anong kaso mo roon?" he asked me.

"I seriously don't know. Ni hindi ko nga gano'n kakilala si Cj," I answered.

"They played good but not that safe," natatawang sabi ni Jigaian.

"Let's dig now?" I asked.

He shrugged and opened his computer.

"It's our job," aniya at nagsimulang magtipa.

I looked away as I tried to recall if I ever done any bad thing to Cj. I recalled hanggang sa pinakamaliit na detalye.

I once again drank a glass of alcohol and it sent shivers down to my fucking stomach... fuck.

"Jigaian..." I called him.

"Oh?"

"Kilala mo ba si Danah Ray Mabanta?" I asked him.

"Lierre's former specialist," he answered that alerted me.

Danah was Lierre's specialist before but she stole the evidences from me years ago. Meaning, she wanted Lierre to get in trouble. She wanted Lierre to get caught that time.

Fuck fuck fuck.

"Get her background," I commanded Jigaian.

"On it," aniya.

Lumipas ang halos sampung minuto ngunit walang nakuha si Jigaian.

"Papuntahin mo rito ang specialist ni Lierre," utos ko nang wala kaming nakuhang impormasyon ni Danah.

"Her details couldn't be found elsewhere. I even searched every corner of the organization's files," ani Jigaian pagkatapos tawagan si Pearl, ang specialist ni Lierre.

Now that was suspicious.

Cj told Arzyl that they have been distracting me... but from what? The truth... and that truth must be connected to a very hideous or private person.

"Sinubukan mo na ba sa surveillance group?" I asked.

"I requested them to look for Danah's files too," he answered.

I explained to Jigaian why I suddenly thought about Danah. He attentively listened to me at pareho kaming napa-isip pagkatapos. Wala pa kaming natanggap na follow up mula sa techie o ang surveillance group ng organization.

Nabalik kami sa reyalidad nang pumasok si Pearl.

"I think I know why my presence is needed," salubong niya.

She sat on the middle seat.

"About Danah..." she guessed.

"Yes, you know anything?" I asked.

She smiled and opened her bag. She handed us a folder with a fucking word confidential on it.

"I hid her file before she could even take it. I was a tracker before being Minah's specialist. Paalis na si Danah noon nang narinig kong kailangan niya ang kanyang folder. Hindi siya pinayagang kunin iyon kaya naman umalis na siya," she explained.

"I took that opportunity to hide her files. Since I was a tracker, madali ko lamang iyon nagawa. Hindi ninyo iyon mahahanap sa organization structured files dahil trackers lamang humahawak ng hidden files," aniya.

"Danah was so frustrated dahil hindi niya nahanap ang kanyang file," she said.

"Kaya she stayed low," I cut in.

"Exactly. Ramdam ko na noon na may balak siya kay Lierre," ani Pearl.

"Why didn't you give this to us earlier and explain?" tanong ni Jigaian.

"It's a secret file, Mr. Mortel, I needed a perfect timing to give it. Isa pa, I was busy protecting Minah from their team," Pearl explained.

"Their team, kilala mo na ba noon pa man ang mga kasabwat?" I asked.

"No, ang alam ko lang ay si Danah ang dulo nitong lahat," ani Pearl.

"I don't investigate anymore. My only mission is to protect Minah," she said.

"So you don't know her whereabouts anymore," Jigaian stated.

"Yes... but you can work with any tracker available," Pearl said.

"Can you recommend someone?" I asked.

"Sure, I'll contact him now," sagot niya at may tinawagan nga.

We scanned Danah's background. She came from the Mabanta family and when we investigated her family, it turned out that they were assassins. They sent Danah as a dangle and faked her real identity. She used her real name pero ang nakasulat sa file niya ay galing siya sa isang abandonadong pamilya.

Basically, the background written on her file was not true but it also led us into her real identity.

I excused myself nang napansin gabi na. I needed to see Minah because this case was giving me a hard time. Jigaian let me go and I immediately drove papunta sa water park.

I booked myself a room at doon muna ako pumunta upang magpalit ng damit. Mabilis akong natapos sa sarili at minadaling puntahan si Lierre.

I got mad as I saw her dancing with two boys. They were dancing seductively on my baby and I hated it.

My fucking life was in danger tapos ito ang madadatnan ko?

Because of that fucking scenario, hindi ko na napigilang ibigay kay Lierre ang biniling singsing. After all, this might be last time I could touch and speak with her.

I was not certain of what might happen after this day but I knew for sure, it would be bad.

I gently caressed her soft hair after we made love.

"You awake?" I asked her.

She only hummed as a response.

"You need to trust me, Lierre," was all I afforded to say.

I felt her weakening and minutes later, she was already sleeping.

My days went on and I focused on the case rather than the wedding itself. I promised Lierre that I would marry her using the ring, not now but when everything was settled.

Sam, the tracker Pearl called, helped us exposing Danah. Since Cj panicked before and immediately called Arzyl without any protection, Sam successfully found their location without them knowing.

"Fuck... this girl been through a lot," Jigaian whispered and let me read the statement Sam found.

Danah was supposed to kill Lierre back then. Lierre was the youngest, making her the easiest one to kill.

"Bakit ikaw na ngayon ang gustong patayin nito?" natatawang tanong ni Jigaian.

"I think I know the reason. Remember what I told you? Nalaman kong ninakaw niya mula sa akin ang mga dating ebidensiya at nagalit ako sa kanya. I was probably the main reason why she failed to kill Lierre back then."

Someone called Jigaian. He let it on speaker mode.

"This is Sam speaking for updates," ani Sam.

"What is it?" Jigaian asked.

"Confirmed, Danah is the one behind this," he told us.

"She tried distracting Math by letting Cj follow Minah, para isipin ni Math na si Minah muli ang pakay nila. Arzyl, Math's ex, was told to be in a relationship with him until the right time comes to kill Math."

"They cornered detective Sillo and he is secretly working for them all this time," Sam explained.

"Kaya pili at kulang-kulang ang mga binigay sa iyo Math noon bago ka umalis patungong Ilocos," ani Sam.

"The cobblers knew what to do kaya walang nakuha si Sillo o kahit sino sa team nila ng impormasyon tungkol kay Minah."

The stressful revelations ended there. They were too heavy to even think of it again.

We finally sent a fucking late report to Armagidon but thank the saints he immediately took an action on the case.

We planned a fucking strategy to catch every member of Danah's team. The organization had a fucking private army that shook me again. Sumakto pang sa araw ng aming kasal magaganap ang ambush.

"Good evening po, tita," I greeted tita Olivia, Lierre's mother.

Four days before the wedding, I decided to clear things up with their mother.

"Hindi na po ako magpapaligoy-ligoy pa. I'm here to tell you how much I love your daughter," I said.

She looked stunned of my sudden topic.

"I never knew you had feelings for my daughter," she commented.

"I never knew about it too, tita. At first, I was denial or at least I was playing safe. We had a small relationship before, she considered me as her friend, and I was afraid to face my growing feelings for her."

"She was young back then and I literally wasn't stable too. It happened quickly so I didn't fully trust what I was feeling," I admitted.

"I protected her from a fraternity that wanted to kill her. The brothers knew about this matter," I explained of it.

Tita Olivia remained silent as she digest every of my words.

"I will always protect your daughter even if it costs my life," I chuckled to make things light.

"Saka ko lang napagtantong mahal ko nga talaga siya dahil siya lamang ang kaya kong piliin sa buhay na ito," I confessed.

"Tita, her life is in danger again, I know the brothers already told you hints of it, but I couldn't expand it more. I just... want you to be there with Lierre while I am away," I said.

"I understand, hijo," tita said softly.

"And please don't tell her what I said to you. Gusto ko pong ako ang magpapaliwanag sa kanya sa aking pagbalik," I pleased.

Two days before our wedding, the organization needed to keep me private. I would be watching what would happen yet I was not permitted to go out. It was for my safety.

I saw it all... from how the brothers took away Minah from the church as planned hanggang sa paghuli kina Cj, Siasco at ng iba pang miyembro.

Danah tried running away but every place was guarded by LOST.

Detective Sillo, who was before I trusted, got caught too.

They were all sent to execution.

I needed to stay private for almost two years after the case for safety purposes. Danah's family was assassins after all, I couldn't risk being killed by them. LOST cleaned everything and didn't leave any marks behind.

Jigaian became my fucking news caster. He would weekly update me on how Lierre was going.

It was a good thing because somehow, I felt like I didn't miss a thing... but, it also made me miss her more.

"You've been through a lot without me knowing," Lierre whispered.

We were on lying on the same bed after our long day. Aurum was already asleep as I told her everything.

"It's all in the past, Lierre," I pointed out.

This was what matters anyway. Being with her, building a family with her.

"Still... I felt satisfied trusting you," she said.

She tried kissing my jaw.

"So, Armagidon gave you the permission to tell me this?" she asked.

"Yes," sagot ko na lamang.

"You were so brave," she complimented me and kissed me more.

Now, my senses got distracted of her sudden action.

"I love you..." she whispered.

I smiled. I couldn't count how many times she already told me that within this day.

I never wished for this to come yet truly, anything is possible when you make it happen.
