In the dark sinky place, A girl is running with no exact direction so she could escape to those men who rapidly chase her. She didn't know the reason why they are holding guns and is aiming it's point to her and while she's having some time to escape, she run like there's no other option but to keep her life safe and unharm.
While sweating bullets and is able to breath. Another scene a girl seeing in her visions. She is now in a room with a man who is hugging her like he's been protecting her from danger. She didn't know who it was but the feeling in her heart seems like she's been longing his existence for a long period of time.
After an hour, she found herself whimping and crying while holding a gun aiming to the man who is now lying on the floor dripping with it's own blood and lifeless. She's crying and sobbing but no one came in the picture to tell her what is really happening.
The girl is no other than, Athalia Quin Bartolome. Can't believe that she did such crime, the point of the gun she's holding and is automatically place the pit of the gun in her head and is ready to click the it'a gutter and now she's seeing herself lifeless while lying in the bush in the place filled with darkness.
Ibinuka nang dalaga ang mga mata ng mapanaginipan na naman niya ang masamang pangyayari na iyon. Saglit na igiinala niya ang tingin at ng malamang nasa Ospital ay doon lang niya naalala ang nangyari noong nakaraan.
"Oh! Thanks God you're awake, Thai. Masyado mo kaming pinag aalala."
"Ano ba kasing nangyari at sino iyong gwapong pogi na naghatid pa sayo rito at tinulak pa ang stretcher mo, boyfriend mo ba 'yun girl?"
She caught Kelly simply scratches Candy's back for a word to say.
"Ano ka ba naman Candy. Pagpahingahin mo nga iyang si Thalia. You're at your chismosa mode again."
"Where is he?"
Her friends took her glance and and is looking at her intently like she's a girl who finds someone who wasn't in the scene all at once. Nang matanto ng mga ito ang tinutukoy niya ay nagkatinginan ang dalawa na parang alam na nito ang hinahanap niya.
"He's out. He left without telling us where he should go. Saan mo nadampot ang ganoong klaseng lalaki at napaka gwapo naman yata."
said Candy who is now eyeing her tightly. Noon lang rin niya naramdaman ang pananakit ng katawan na tila ba ay isang taon na siyang nakaratay sa folding bed na kanyang hinihigaan rito sa ospital. Saan na naman kaya nagsususulpot ang isang iyon na wala man lang paalam.
"I don't know. He's just wandering around and he's also the boarder near in my room number, too. At first we met he's just anywhere, even when I was shoot last time I think he's also the one who called an ambulance inorder for me to arrived in the hospital unharmed."
Muling nagkatinginan ang dalawa na para bang alam na nito ang lahat nang katibayan sa sinasabi niya. Thalia is now leaning in the headrest of the folding bed and is simply eyeing her fried who are now looking at each others eyes intently. She knew that Candy is now having a massive imagination again, she knew the friend's capacity in times like this. Candy is a damn expert.
"So he's something like your knight and shining armour, Thai. Oh my God! Nakakalig sana ako rin."
"Could you please shut up, Candy. Mas lalo lang yatang nade depressed itong si Thalia sa bawat pagbitaw mo ng mga salita e."
"Tse! Porket Ikaw ay may ka bebetime na rin. Iyon yung boss mong si Deev. Ay naku! Wag nang mag deny ateng. Kitang kita ko sa mga mata mo."
"Fool. We aren't in the intimate relationship like you think."
"Mga indenial. Baka anytime soon may mga laman na 'yang matres niyo napag iiwanan na ako."
Thalia can't resist to her friends craziness lalong lalo na itong si Candy na lahat na siguro ng kagagahan ay malamang alam na nito ang lahat. One knock on the door and both of them are now looking at the man who is now walking like a Calvin Klein model while a cartoon of oranges he's holding with just one arm really exposed his reflexes.
"You fine now. Sorry with my actions. Hindi na mauulit iyon."
Nangangapa nang sasabihin si Thalia ng kaagad itong umupo sa gilid lang ng kama niya. Why he's so sweet like a vanilla ice cream dripping with an icing cake. The man is only looking at her like he's checking for her and the one he cared the most. Oh God! It's only a random side of him, maybe.
"Kel. Kutusan mo nga ako nang sa ganoon ay malaman naman ng dalawang iyan na may iba pang tao rito maliban sa kanilang dalawa lang."
"You're at your craziness again, Candy. Would you please shut that mouth of yours."
"Huwag mo akong ma English English diyan espanyola ka ha? Nakakarindi na."
Her friend Kelly just laugh with what Candy said. Ni hindi niya napansing nakatingin lang pala nang mariin sa kanya si Zethro habang nagpang abot ang mga kilay nito. Oh, bakit na naman?
"Ano na namang klaseng tingin 'yan, umuwi kana nga sa inyo ng magtino ka naman."
"Can't. I have a job. A confidential one."
"E bakit nandito ka kung may trabaho ka naman pala."
The man just left her gaze and is looking to the opposite side where her eyes are directed. Kelly and Candy are now fighting for some unidentified mean. While she. She keeps knurling of Zethro's gaze so that their eyes would meet but the man is persistent to left her gaze.
"Thalia, pagsabihan mo nga itong si Kelly na huwag nang i-deny ang relasyon nila nang kanyang amo na si Deev Asuncion. Nakakaimbyerna na talaga parang Ikaw lang rin."
Zethro's gaze directed at her friends who are now having a catfight without her knowing the reason why. Zethro is now having a massive line of his eyebrows like he heared a thing he doesn't want to hear with those, too.
"You know Deev?"
"Syempre naman. Sekretarya niya itong si Kelly e. Panay pa nga ang—"
"Candy. Can you shut up?"
"So you're the woman that Deev's keep on talking huh? That man is motherfucker! He seems in love while saying you're name direct to us. Nakakarindi."
Kelly on the left side of the corner is now rooted in place like didn't process in her mind that Zethro happened to be Deev's friend. Siya rin naman ay nagulat, napakaliit lang talaga nang mundo at nagtagpo ang tadhana niyong dalawa. Small world.
"So kung gwapo ka at gwapo rin iyong boss nitong si Kelly. Baka may kaibigan ka pang hot din. Reto naman diyan."
The man just laugh and Thalia was rooted in shock. This is his very first time laughing together with her friend kasi kung silang dalawa lang parang pasan na nito lahat nang problema sa katawan. Parang pinagsakluban nang langit at lupa ang damuho.
"There are two. Viper and Hadith. Cain and Jaxon are not included because they are now married."
Kelly just shrugged and Candy is gasping. Hula niya ay umaandar na naman ang kapilyuhan ng kaibigan. Saglit na nagpaalam si Kelly dahil tumatawag daw ang boss nito at mukhang pinapabalik na siya sa trabaho. While Candy just go around with Kelly dahil ayaw raw nito ang mamalagi sa kwarto kasama raw ang dalawang taong walang pakialam sa kanya dahil may sariling mundo.
Thalia can't help it and she plastered a genuine smile in her lips. Iyon ang nadatnan nang binatang si Zethro bago niya namalayang nakatingin na naman ito. Ngunit inirapan lang niya ang lalaki at kaagad na nag abot nang isang orange sa lamesa ngunit hindi niya iyon maabot abot kaya si Zethro na ang kumuha at binalatan pa ito para makain lang niya.
"Are you feeling fine now, hmm?" Tanong nito habang nginangatngat niya ang orange na parang gutom na gutom.
"You wouldn't know how much you scared me. You are just lying in this bed for 3 consecutive days and that was hella scary."
Thalia was shock with the revelation she heard. 3 days? Oh God!
"The doctor said you're having a hard time fighting for your PSTD."
"PTSD is a disorder that develops after a traumatic experience, such as witnessing a murder or being assaulted. It causes flashbacks, nightmares, fear, and avoidance of anything reminiscent of the trauma. PTSD can cause significant impairment in a person's life. now tell me, did you saw something while you are asleep?"
Tila isang putok ng baril ang sinabi ng binata dahilan na nanumbalik sa kanya ang masasamang panaginip na hindi niya alam kung saan nagmula. Thalia is now sniffing thinking that she killed someone in her traumatic nightmare.
Kaagad siyang niyakap nang binata at inalo habang sinasabi na malalagpasan niya iyon. For the second time around while she's in the arms of the man who she doesn't know what is the real motive that he's staying by her side for nothing. Thalia knows that in Zethro's arms, she's safe.
