"SIR, are you sure you gonna take a one month leave?" tanong ng secretary niya mula sa kabilang linya.

"yes. Just send me the Important files here in Hacienda. If it's not important then reschedule them. I don't want anyone to enter the office. Kung may maghanap man sa akin, wag niyo papasukin tell them that I'm on a vacation and don't tell them where." bilin niya, narinig naman niyang bumuntong hininga ang secretary niya.

"okay, sir. copy" ani nito bago binaba ang linya, habang siya naman ay deretsong pinatay ang tawag.

He's alone in hacienda. Nasa sala siya at nakatingin sa inaayos na mansion nila habang lumalagok ng alak.

Finally. A peace of mind. Pero kahit anong gawin niyang pag-iwas na isipin si Zoe ay hindi niya magawa. Zoe's smile and hugs. That's what he misses right now.

Hindi niya maintindihan ang sarili niya. He's a Sevida, bet he can do anything for his love ones.

"you're being coward again" napalingon naman siya sa likod niya nang may nagsalita, it was Edgar who took off the jacket and went straight to the couch, nagsalin din ito ng alak at komportableng umupo sa couch.

"shut up" agad na bugaw niya sa kapatid.

"I know what happened. Bruno told me, tsk. A man who was afraid to fight for his love once promised that he will not do it again...and now look at him, staying at the hacienda, drinking alcohols as if it can help him" parinig nito sa kaniya sabay lagok ng alak,

"and why are you drinking too? does that mean that you're problematic as fuck?" tanong niya sa kapatid at nagsalin muli ng alak,

"yes. Sam just broke up with me and I don't fucking know the reason why." sagot ni Edgar at muling nagsalin ng alak.

"then you're broke as me" natatawang sabi niya "you know..Zoe showed me love, kahit bago pa lang kami..alam ko na she loved me tsk tsk, I have never felt that love before...even in Harley that I was in a relationship over 10 years. Now, she's telling me that she didn't love me...at ngayon naman maririnig ko na ikakasal siya? the fuck, is she in a relationship with someone while we're together? is she engaged while we're fucking? fuck that" may halong galit na dagdag ni Edward, narinig naman niyang natawa si Edgar,

"well, it's different in my case. She just said 'let's break up' and left. I tried to stop her but she slapped me.."

"sinabi mo naman ba yung issue mo sa bar?" agad na tanong niya,

"yes of course. I can't contact her the fuck." sagot ni Edgar, napailing-iling naman siya saka nilagok ang alak at padabog itong nilagay sa mesa,

"but I bet Sam is different." ani niya, umiling-iling naman si Edgar.

"of course she is, siya lang naman ang nakatalo sa akin sa race. But your Zoe...I can tell that she's not that unique...but she's way different from Harley...alam mo yung first impression palang namin kay Zoe, gusto'ng-gusto na namin siya para sa'yo, while Harley...it took her years to have our trust. I don't know...her reasons for leaving you is suspicious, dapat alam mo yan, you're like a detective tsk"

"but I'm not" agad na singit niya at muling nagsalin ng alak

"let me ask you a question" ani ni Edgar saka umayos ng upo at hinarap siya, tiningnan lang naman niya ito at hinintay na magsalita,

"why did you ignored her earlier?" tanong ni Edgar sa kaniya, napalunok naman siya napaisip "Bruno told me everything, kasama na don ang pagbaril ni Zoe" dagdag nito, nag-iwas naman siya ng tingin at nilagok ang alak bago sumagot,

"It's just that...I don't care" pagsisinunghaling niya, tumawa naman si Edgar.

"If you don't care...why did you put your team and yourself at risk? why did you contact the DBI general just to have a permission to kill Livian? why did you risk your life and meet Russo and Livian at the rooftop? why did you do all that things if you don't care about her?" nakangising tanong ni Edgar,
