Chapter 30. “Can’t be avoided”Every day, there are about 150,000 people died. And many people are mourning losing a loved one. The human body is made of billions of cells as they grow, and when that cell biologically stops functioning, the human body will eventually die. They say that nobody knows how and when are we gonna die, nobody knows what will happen when our time arrived. Death is part of our life. We are all born to live and we are all gonna die. Nobody can escape death, death is inevitable.Ulan.Tulala ako habang nakaupo dito sa may swing sa may playground. Hawak ko ang tali ni Sham-sham dahil naglakad-lakad muna kami dito sa village. Hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin mawala sa isip ko ang nangyari noong nakaraang araw. Hindi kami nakapunta sa appointment namin na kausapin si Aldwin Herrera kahapon, tumawag daw sa kanya si Kuya Alf na we will do the interrogation tomorrow, kahit kahapon noong nagkita

Chapter 32. “Justice will prevail”“He is joining us today.” Nahihiyang sagot ko. Nagulat si Gavril at napasalubong agad ng kilay at tiningnan ng masama si Jimwel.“Don’t worry, I won’t cause you guys trouble. I just wanna hang with you, Roux.” Sabat naman ni Jimwel. Masama pa rin siyang tinitingnan ni Gavril.“Fine. But we will not use your car.” Sabi ni Gavril at kinuha ang phone niya at may tinawagan. “Hurry.” ‘Yon lang ang narinig ko sa sinabi niya sa phone.Ilang minuto lang ay may isang SUV ang pumarada sa harap ng bahay namin. Lumabas doon ang driver nila Gavril.“Let’s go.” Ani Gavril at binuksan ang pinto ng back seat at pinauna akong pumasok. Sumunod naman siya at tumabi sa akin. Tiningnan ko siya at nakangiti siya ng malapad.Bigla namang bumukas ang pinto sa tabi ko at doon pumasok si Jimwel at tumabi sa akin.

Chapter 34. “Scars of the past”The silence in my room is deafening. I can only hear the ticking of the clock while staring at my room’s ceiling. It is quarter in the midnight and I am lying in my bed trying to sleep but I can’t. Up until now, I am still thinking about what I saw earlier about Gavril. It happened again. I saw a vision of Gavril’s death. Pero tulad noong unang may nakita ako sa kanya noong hawakan niya ako, hindi pa rin ito kumpleto. Hindi ko alam kung kailangan ito mangyayari o ano ang kabuuhan kung paano mangyayari ang magiging pagkamatay niya. It is so confusing and I don’t know what is going on.Mariin kong pinikit ang aking mga mata habang ramdam ko ang kaba sa aking dibdib habang pabalik-balik sa aking isipan ang mga nakita ko kanina. Natatakot ako. Nalulungkot ako. Naiiyak ako at sobrang naguguluhan sa nangyayari. I though I will never see anything about his death. I thought he was the

Chapter 36. “You are beautiful”Few days had past after we got the pen in Francine’s room. The polices and prosecutors did their job to investigate the sister of Francine and they also have their hearing and on the hearing, Francine’s sister admitted the crime she have done. Alexis, Gavril and I was there and we heard the story between them. The one who texted Aldwin was her, the one who have killed her own sister was her, the one who did this hideos crime and framed someone up was her.I saw Aldwin cried and shout from the top of his lungs. He was really angry that time. Hindi ko makakalimutan ang sinabi niya noon sa amin ni Gavril.“I have proved my innocence but how could I live now freely when the love of my life is not here with me?” Umiiyak na sabi niya sa amin.“Think about what Francine will feel now, I know that she don’t you to be punished for the crime you did not do. I k

Chapter 38. “Purpose in life”“Are you okay?” rinig kong tanong ni Gavril. Tulala lang ako sa labas ng sasakyan. Papunta na kami sa Tierra de Maria, dito daw muna kami pumunta para magdasal.Tumango lang ako bilang sagot sa tanong ni Gavril taliwas sa totoo kong nararamdaman.“I know you’re not fine.” Aniya na kinabigla ko. Tiningnan ko siya at nakangiti siya habang tutok ang mata sa daan habang nagmamaneho. “Iniisip ko rin naman ‘yon.” Dagdag pa niya.Napabuntong-hininga ako at napanguso.“Bakit ba ang hirap maniwala ng isang tao?” malungkot kong sabi.I was referring to what happened in the hotel lobby earlier. Nang marinig namin ni Gavril ang pangalan ng babaeng magchecheck-in ay agad namin siyang nilapitan at kinausap. Gavril approached them very well. Tinitigan ko ring mabuti ang mukha ng babae at inalala ang nasa vision ko tungkol sa fourt
