When you are hiding something, you would hesitate to let others have the chance to see the thing you are hiding. But if you are not hiding something, you would know how it wasn’t a hard thing to accept such an inspection. “Sure, go ahead. Just be quiet. My wife is sleeping inside the room. She… was a bit tired after…” he coughed not wanting to say those things but he was well aware that the man knew what was it. “So please do your inspection quietly” The man then had an awkward look as he had no idea how to respond. It was thanks to his comrade who called his attention as they saw something in the sea. Bowing his head to show Francis some respect, Francis did the same and walked to get some drinks in the small box container that had canned beverages. “We saw a blue parachute but it suck deep in the sea… we need proper materials and reinforcements to check this matter. It seems like the parachute is also ruined… we saw some torn pieces floating not far from it.” Thinking about it, F

“Francis, can I borrow your phone again?” I can’t help but to ask and borrow his phone, even after finishing the meal, I am still worried. Maybe now I can contact Seki “Here” Giving me the phone, even now I still can’t believe it was him who helped me. Before, whenever I needed help from him, I couldn’t even see a shadow of him. A curse maybe or perhaps… a blessing? Things don’t go the way we want them to be… but maybe… what we want isn’t what the good for us. Because… if there is one thing I should be thankful for all the pain I felt back then, which I don’t even remember… it would be… because of that, because of him not accepting me… because of him not loving me back… I found the one that was meant for me. “Thanks” I mumbled. Is it thanks for the phone? Thanks for helping me? Thanks for the meal? I don’t even know… maybe all? Dialing Ysekiel’s number once again, hoping that this time… she would answer me. Hoping that this time… I would be able to- [Yes? Who’s this?] End o

“Serena, are you sure?” [Yes, I can’t contact you as well so I tried calling Xemion and he gave me Shaun’s number. Saying you are with him and that you are there, maybe you can check if Kianna is fine?] “Like hell I won’t! Thank you, Serena, you are a great help!” [I will head there as well, please update me on the situation] “Yes, I will. Thanks again” Dropping the call, I look at Shaun. I was really surprised when I heard Serena is calling Shaun asking for me… but to think she know where Kianna is… I am jealous… but it was my fault in the first place! “Shaun, Serena gave me this address… It seems like the heaven is helping us” Nodding his head, I gave back the phone to him. For sure he would be calling Drake to tell him about what happened. I am really worried about the two of them… I hope things will be all right for them.. Why can’t they just live a happy life? Is that so much to ask? Remembering all the hardship that Kianna has gone through, it worries me how she can even

I do not wish to involve my mother and grandparents about the situation we are at now. That is the reason why Drake and I decided not to stay close in where they are. But after all the things that happened, I don’t think that I can stay the same as before. “Are you worried?” “Yeah… I miss them too. I am sure they are worried about us as well but…” Caressing my hair, he pull me close to him as I lay the back of my head on his shoulder. “I’m sorry…” “Why are you apologizing again?” “Because… I mess things up. When we are planning to have a happy secluded life… I should have-“ “I should have listened to you too, Drake. The reason why we are in this situation is all because of me. Sorry for dragging you in this mess-“ His finger then blocks my lips. “If you are blaming yourself, stop. We are at fault… the two of us” Giggling, I really want to give him a happy life. The one he deserves… “Maybe I should try asking my father for help” “But you hated him… don’t do something you h

“What are you planning to do now? Kianna?” With my grandma asking me that, I can see how worried she is. Of course, she would not let me go there by myself. Of all, I know that she is having a hard time now. That she can’t even pull herself to stand up after all the stress that she has been through. “I asked for help from those people that I know, slowly, we are collecting data about things that can be used as evidence against Marco. We have been doing that for some time now. Even the death of my father… The one whom we are thinking of as the main culprit in all of this… and about mom… I think it was him” Smiling at my grandmother, I hold her hand. “I will save her” “Are you planning to head there? In the place that they gave you?” “Grandma… how did you…” Shaking her head, she holds my hand so tight. As if she is trying to stop me. “You will stay here. I can’t lose you as well… Kianna” “But I need to go to save Mom” “It is dangerous” I know of all that she is just saying tha
