One month earlier    Nagmamadaling  umakyat si Leyla sa hagdanan ng bahay nila, halos malagutan na siya ng hininga sa pagmamadaling makauwi kaagad. She received a phone call from her cousin, Anne that her father had an arrest warrant for not paying his debt. Abot-abot ang kaba niya dahil sa natanggap na balita.   

Ley ran a finger into her golden flaxen colored hair. After college, she developed a habit of coloring her hair whenever she feels frustrated. Naging stress reliever niya iyon, at sa tingin niya ay kailangan na naman niyang kulayan ito ngayon.   Nanginginig man ang mga kamay sa sobrang kaba ay pilit na pinapakalma ni Ley ang sarili. Kailangan niyang tatagan ang sarili para magawa niya ang kailagang gawin. She needs to convince Seig to give her another option, though she doubts that he will, she’s going to give it a shot.
