Past.

Chase.

"Hello mom."

Bungad ko pagkasagot na pagkasagot ko ng tawag.

"How's Rhia? Buo pa ba sya? Pinaiyak mo ba? ano Chase? is she pregnant?"

Mom said hysterically. I frowned.

"I miss you too mom."

I said sarcastically. 

"And yes buo pa si Rhia, and why the heck would I hurt her? The last thing I would want is for Rhia to get hurt, so stop it already."

Reklamo ko, mom sighed.

"Fine, I'm just worried okay? Right after you shocked us with the sudden news last night? How dare you announce it through phone?! You should've atleast informed us personaly!"

Napakamot ulo nalamang ako,

"I know I'm sorry...Masyado lang akong natuwa kagabi, so ofcourse I'll tell my parents right away."

I explained.

"Whatever."

Iritang sabi pa nito ngunit mababakas mo ang kasiyahan doon, I smiled, but then I remembered something.

"Mom? You and Tita Scarlet were friends since you were kids right?"

I asked, then rested my back on the swivel chair.

"Yes, Why do you ask?"

I ten ran my fingers through my hair.

"What do you know about Rhia's father?"

I asked, ignoring her question. Saglit itong natigilan sa tanong ko.

"N-Nothing, Basta nalang umuwi dito si Scarlet dala dala si Rhia, I-I don't know who her father is..."

Nauutal na sagot nito, my forehead creased.

"You're dad is calling me na, I have to go. Love you son, yung bilin ko ha, ingatan mo si Rhia."

Nagmamadaling sambit nya saka pinatayan na ako ng tawag, I sighed as I stared at the ceiling. Imposibleng walang alam si mama, they've been friends, almost like sisters and base on how she reacted on my question? It seems like she knows something.

But that's not it, According to the footages, mukang malaki ang galit ni Vasiliev sa biological father ni Rhia, he's vengeful that Tita Scarlet needs to hide Rhia away from him.

I actually tried to find Rhia's biological father before, but I just couldn't find any trace, it's as if he never existed. And it seems like he mysteriously vanished with that mysterious organization, leaving no trace behind.

Rhia told me that she stopped investigating about that organization years ago after she found out about her mother and something about her father. 

She stopped the momment the clues were starting to lead her to her father, she said she doesn't want to involve herself to that man and have nothing to do with him. She just want to give her mother's death the justice, she deserves and make Fabio pay.

Which is our main goal in the first place, we shouldn't care about what happened in the past and just focus on putting Fabio Vasiliev on it's right place. But I can't help but be curious, just who is Rhia's father? What kind of man he is? What did he do that pushed Fabio to be who he is right now?

I sighed, I shouldn't really think about this, baka magalit pa saakin si Rhia, I should just help her gather strong evidences and bring justice to her late mom. Napahilot nalamang ako saaking sintidong tumayo na nang makita ang oras, mabuti pa ay puntahan ko nalang si Rhia sa clinic nya.

I miss my baby...

Napangiti ako roon saka nakapamulsang lumabas na ng clinic ko, I am humming a song while walking on the hallways.

"Chase!"

A familiar voice shouted my name, I frowned as I walked faster, nilakihan ko ang hakbang kong hindi siya pinansin. Damn, I told the secuty not to let Summer in, why is she suddenly here?

"Chase! wait for me!"

She screamed, I continue ignoring her, I think I need to tighten this Hospital's security one of these days. She's irritating as hell, buti sana kung ako lang, but she would even go to my love's clinic and bring trouble. 

I groaned, I know it's my fault for using her, I'm a jerk before..yeah maybe until now, maybe I deserve this? but heck I badly want her to stay away from me already, I already apologized why is she still clinging on me? Ano nalang ang iisipin ni Rhia? Darn, I want to prove her that I really did change for her.

"Chase ano ba!"

Patuloy na pagsigaw nito sa pangalan ko habang hinahabol ako, pinagtitinginan na kami ng mga nurse, pero wala akong pakielam. Patuloy ako sa mabilis na paglakad at kinuha na ang phone ko para tawagan ang security, I don't want to involve myself to her anymore, nangako ako kay Rhia, may ibang paraan pa naman para makakuha ng impormasyon, Summer brings nothing but trouble.

"Any problem miss Vasiliev? kasi nakakaistorbo ka."

I heard a familiar melodic voice said making me stop, It's Rhia.

"Can't you see? no one wants you here, so better get out or I'll call the security."

Malamig na sabi nito, Ako naman ay tahimik na nakamasid matapos matawagan ang security.

"You slut! bakit ba lagi mokong hinaharangan?!"

Halos mamula ang buong muka nito, my forehead cread as I went to their direction.

"Kasi alam kong manggugulo ka lang, so do us all a favor and get your disgusting face out of here."

My queen said fiercely, nakagat ko ang labing napangiti... That's my queen... Rhia has always been sweet and kind, kahit noon pa, but once you try to mess up with her, she'll shift from an angel to a brave warrior who never backs out.

She's sweet yet can be really spicy.

"Chase...look what your evil sister is doing!"

Reklamo nya saka tumingin sa gawi ko, akmang lalapit ito saakin nang dumating na ang security na tinawagan ko, I sighed then went beside Rhia and gave her a gentle kiss on the lips as I held her waist.

"Sorry but Rhia is not my sister, she's my girlfriend."

I declared while holding Rhia tight, I know maraming  nakarinig niyon at mukang kami ang magiging topic ng mga chismisan dito. But hell, I don't fucking care what will others say, They could talk about us all they want, hate us, back stab us, I don't care about any of them.

 I don't give a single shit about their opinions, I only care about Rhia and I will do everything to protect her even with my life at stake.

"N-no..."

Summer said, but we just stared at her blankly, and wheen she realized that were both serious she started screaming.

"You slut!'

She's about to attack Rhia but the security managed to stop her.

"Take her away and never let her in."

Malamig na sabi ko, patuloy parin itong nagsisisigaw.

"I swear! You both will regret this! I will make you regret this! My father will kill you soon just like what he did to your bitch mother!"

Malakas na sigaw nito saka nagpumiglas sa mga security at kusa ng umalis, I saw how Rhia's eyed became blank as her hand turned into fists, I sighed as I held her hand and stared at her right through  her eyes.

"I won't let anyone hurt you, they cannot lay a single finger as long as I am alive."

I wispered then leaned closer to give her a tight embrace and gently kissed her forehead.

"Ano magchichismissan nalang kayo dyan?! back to work!"

Sigaw ni Nestle sa mga nakatungangang mga nurses na nagbubulong bulungan, agad namang bumalik ang mga ito sa kani-kanilang mga trabaho.

"Ano itooo?"

Animo'y gulat na gulat na sambit nya, hindi na namin sya pinansin pa at naglakad na patungo sa lounge.

"San mo gustong kumain?"

Tanong ko kay Rhia, She shrugged.

"Kahit saan."

Sagot nito, napakamot ulo nalamang ako, but then I stopped.

"Ahh shit, I forgot my wallet."

Kunot noong sabi ko.

"Balikan mo nalang sa clinic mo, di pa naman ako ganun ka gutom."

Sambit nya, tumango ako roon at ginawaran sya ng mabilis na halik saka nagmadali na pabalik sa clinic ko. Mabilis din naman akong nakarating roon at nakuha ang wallet ko saka ako muling nagmadali pababa ng lounge.

But then I stopped when I saw the bastard Nelson at the other hallway, I was about to ignore him and continue going, when I accidentally overheard his conversation on his phone.

"I understand tito... binabantayan ko po ang bawat galaw nya, Wala pa naman pong nakakaalam kung sino ako, so we won't have any problems...." He uttered.

I just hissed and shooked my head, ipinagwalang bahala ko nalamang iyon at nagmadali na patungo sa lounge.

Rhia

"That doctor Nelson...Mag ingat ka sakanya..."

Wade's words earlier echoed on my head, why would Wade say that? I know he always says non sense things, but I know when he is serious, Nangunot ang noo ko roon. Thinking about it, I don't know much about Nelson, not even her family background,We've been friends since college, But sometimes he do acts mysterious.

Well I just shrugged it off, Diko naman  ugaling sumawsaw sa buhay ng iba, I sighed then shooked my head, Mamaya ko nalang tatanungin si Wade kung ano man ang ipinahihiwatig niya.

"Sorry, did I took too long?"

Chase asked when he came from his clinic.

"Hindi naman, Ang bilis mo nga eh, Nakuha mo ba?" Ngiti kong ikinatango nito, I stood up from my seat then held hands with him. 

"Let's go then."

I added.

The day went smooth, magpapatuloy kami sa misyon mamaya pero sangayon ay hindi ko muna iyon gustong isipin. I just want to forget everything and be with the man I love, kahit sandali lang, ayoko munang problemahin iyon.

But ofcourse, I couldn't run from it, the day went on and we had to prepare for the mission. Dumaan muna kami sa headquarters bago dumiretso sa meeting place namin ni Fabio. There I saw Ms. White, Agent Luciferand Agent Blue, Naroroon din si Ruby na nasa Malaking Screen, The Three Kings in one room huh? I shrugged as we both sat on the couch.

"First of all, Congratulations Hades, Scarlet." Ngisi ni Ruby na nasa kabilang linya, Her Amber eyes stared at the Camera bitting her lips then sipped a wine from a wine glass, I even saw how Lucifer gulped at the sight of her.

"Hey save it for the honey moon, were here to discuss something." Awat ni Ms. White Kay Ruby at Lucifer, Ruby just Chuckled, nag iwas naman ng tingin si Lucifer.

"Anyways Agent Blue mentioned me about that organization earlier, The rebirth of the Sun or Dawn Organization."

Ruby said more seriously now while playing with the wine glass on her hand.

"Honestly I got curious too when you started investigating years ago but you stopped because you said you're not interested anymore, but since I got bored, ipinagpatuloy ko ang imbestigasyon mo." She sipped her wine as then rested her back on the couch.

"Sorry hindi ko na sinabi sayo, ayaw kitang pangunahan and it seems personal to you too kaya diko na sinabi pa." Tumango ako roon, yeah, I did stopped when it started is starting to involve my father, I don't care about that man anymore, I don't need him in my life.

"So pinahanap ko kay Blue ang results ng investigation ko years ago sa opisina ko noon sa head quarters."

She uttered, Kasabay noon ay ang paglapag ni Agent blue ng isang Brown Envelope sa harap namin, nangunot naman ang noo kong binuksan iyon.

Inside is a thick folder..

"I know you don't want to hear anything from your father anymore, but darling it seems like you don't have any choice."

She shrugged, I just sighed, akmang bubuksan ko na ang folder nang hawakan ni Chase ang kamay.

"You sure, you're okay with this?"

He asked with a concerned voice, ngumiti ako sakanya ng tipid at tumango saka binuksan na ang folder. There I saw the Symbol of the Dawn Organization and an old photograph of four people at a falls, three guys and a woman...my mom.

"It's tita Scarlet."

Chase uttered, napatango ako roon. "One of them is Fabio and--" i stopped as I stared at a foreign man beside my mom, He's looking intently at her with a happy smile on their faces.

"And the other one is your Dad."

Agent Lucifer uttered, I just hissed.

"And that one beside beside Fabio is his half brother Lucid Vasiliev."

Sambit ni agent Blue saka tumingin sa gawi ko.

"It's About what I warned you about earlier, Scarlet."

Seryosong sabi nito na nagpatigil saakin. "Nelson?" Kunot noong noong tanong kong nagpatango naman sakaniya, Lumingon naman sa gawi namin si Chase.

"What about him?"

He asked with his forehead creased, nang binuklat namin ang folder ay doon ay isa nanamang lumang litrato ng dalawang batang naglalaro.

"It's Summer Vasiliev, Fabio's wife's daughter with another man, and the boy is---"

I cutted Lucifer off. "Nelson?" I asked blankly, he then nodded his head.

"Nelson Lacsamana Vasiliev, Lucid Vasiliev's son with his mistress Astrid Lacsamana and the only son he had."

Ruby Stated, Chase then eyed the pho darkly. 

"That bastard! Kaya siguro masama na ang kutob ko sakanya noong una palang!" Iritang sambit nya, I sighed...I treated him as a friend..

"Earlier I heard him talking to someone on his phone, it seems like he is spying on someone." Madilim ang mukang sabi nito, I heavy a heavy breath, hindi ko alam kung paano magrereact... I trusted him.. Naikuyom ko nalamang ang mga kamaong nagpatuloy.

"He also grew up with summer." Pagpapatuloy nito, napatango tango nalamang ako.

"As you can see at the first picture, The four of them has small tattoos, The rebirth of the sun, it is only for high tiers. Your Mom as Nefarious, the Queen of the organization has a tattoo on her waist, Fabio a tattoo on his upper chest has a codename Caim, Lucid known as Mortala has the tattoo on his arms, and your father, Javier is the King of Dawn organization, He is known as Phoenix and has the tattoo on his back."

Litanya ni Ms. White.

"They are the fourth generation of High tiers, and Javier King as his father's successor, but then one day.. the organization just mysteriously vanished." Ani Ruby, 

"According to the evidences that I miraculously digged, No one knows why but one day Fabio just changed and started planning to destroy the org. He gave away all the informations to the enemies secretly, he's like a parasite that is secretlly destroying a home that time, and then one day they all found out but he escaped as he burned everything and deleted every informations that the organization has...It all vanished, the four generation's hardworks were all gone, Javier got careles, He gave all his trust to his closest friend, He trust the wrong person and ended up being stabbed on his sleep...Well not literally but something like that."

Paglalahad nito.

"The following pictures and statements are more evidences about how Fabio masacred some of the Dawn Agent's families, including your Mom and Dad's Families and heck That Fabio guy is a one crazy man, I'm telling you, isusuka sya ng impyerno dahil sa mga gawa nya, mukang naging hobby na ang pagpatay ehh.."

Ruby said then massaged his temples.

"If you want I have footages too, and videos from witnesses, sorry If ngayon ko lang naibigay ang mga yan I got too distracted sa dami ng priorities ko."

Napatango nalang ako roon. "It's fine, I understand, This is a big help Ruby, thank you."

I said them smiled, Ruby winked at me. Maya maya pa ay nagpasya na kaming umalis para sa misyon.

I'm almost there mom...I'll give you justice....
