Xaria's P. O. V.

"ARE you involved behind my father's death?"

I was expecting her to deny it. But her eyes right now, is telling me the truth.

"Yes......"

Bumagsak ang balikat ko at napatitig ako nang mariin sa sapatos ko. I'm happy I found Ms. Klain, she helped me saved my sister and my mother.

But this is unforgivable.....

"My father is the one who teach me to hold a sword."

Napalunok ako at nanghihina na naibaba ang espada ko. I can't look at her right now. Irrational thoughts is clouding my mind.

Xarious,

Nilabas na ang hatol ng centro, I'm sorry for betraying you.

The words I found in that letter which I've stealed from ate Zia continue to cloud my mind.

"You've betrayed my father, he's not a traitor."

"You're wrong Xaria,"

Mabilis na napatitig ako sa mata niya nang sabihin niya yan. My eyes darkened because of hatred.

"Then what?"

I unconsciously raised again my sword, I was about to point it again on her neck but I suddenly heard my heart slowly beating.

Unti-unti kong naibaba ang espada ko at napadausdos sa malamig na yelo. Napahawak ako sa dibdib ko at napahiyaw dahil sa hirap sa paghinga.

"This is enough, you should know your boundaries."

Napatingin ako sa yabag ng taong papalapit sa akin. Boses ng lalaki at malaking itim na sapatos ang patungo sa direksyon ko.

Unti-unti kong naaninag ang mukha nito. Sa tala ng buhay ko, pakiramdam ko, ngayon lang ako nagkaroon ng sobrang tindi at ibang pakiramdam.

"S-Sino ka?"

Imbes na sagutin ay nginisihan lang ako nito.

Nagpatuloy ako sa pamimilipit at paghirap sa paghinga habang unti-unting dumilim ang paningin ko.

This can't be happen! It's my only chance to interrogate Ms. Zenia!
