She exhaled and inhaled and exhaled and inhaled again. Para siyang tangang sinisiguradong humihinga pa talaga siya. Nayakap niya ang sarili sa galak. At the very end she trusted Ric. She hold unto him. She trusted him and they were saved. May dumating na mga helicopter. Hindi niya alam kung paano ng mga ito nalaman na nasa panganib sila pero nagpapasalamat siya.Tiningnan niya ng mataman ang lalaking katabi niya.

He was sleeping peacefully. His face was a mess pero wala siyang pakialam doon. What matters most is his alive. They are both alive.

Nagmulat ito ng mata. Ngumiti ito ng makita siya.

“I told you just trust me.” Mahinang wika nito.

Nginitian niya ito.

Binigyan niya ito ng mabilis na halik sa labi. “And I did.”

Tumawa ito. Then, his face turned serious. Tinitigan siya nito.

“Never doubt my love for you.”

She pouted. “And when did that happen?”

“when you struck my hand with your ballpen?”

"But that was because I was trying to save you."

"Living without you is the same with me dead."

She bit her lip. "Kailan ka pa naging ganyan ka-affectionate?"

"I’ve decided to be vocal after akong kausapin ni Patrick and informed me about your blackmailer situation."

Ganun na katagal?

Pero bakit ngayon ko lang nararamdaman?

Pero imbes na itanong ang mga yun sa isipan niya ay  tumango na lang siya.

"I am loving you more." Wala sa sariling nasambit niya dito.

Niyakap niya ito.

Niyakap rin siya nito.

As long as he is alive. I will forever trust this man.

Yumukod siya para magbigay galang sa don. Don Jose Traviel was sitting in a chair. Pinatawag sila nito makalipas ang ilang araw ng pagpapagaling nila sa ospital. Kitang-kita ang pangangayayat ng Don nang dahil sa bypass operation nito. Pero mukhang unti-unting bumubuti na ang pakiramdam nito dahil sa success ng operation nito.

“Reena, drop the formalities. Hindi ba’t nobya ka na nitong anak ko?” Mabait na winika ng don. 

Namula ang mukha niya. She lifted her head. Nag-iwas siya ng tingin. Hindi siya makatingin sa don. She killed her daughter but still ang bait pa rin nito sa kanya.
