Umupo ako sa sopa pagpasok ko ng apartment. Yumuko ako habang sapo ang noo at hindi alam kung anong gagawin. Subrang nag-aalala ako tungkol sa pinapakita na kilos ni Redeemer. Paano kung malaman niya na may kinalaman ako sa pagkamatay ni Wren?

I want to do the right thing for him but how? I stranded with my mission, I blinded with the love for my father. At Hindi ko na rin alam kung anong kaibahan ng tama sa mali.

I heard a sudden loud knock at the door. Sa pag-aakalang si Redeemer ay dali ko itong pinagbuksan na mayroong malapad na ngiti. But my smile disappeared when I saw Francia outside had a strange look at me.

“Anong ginagawa mo dito?” tanong ko.

No answered. She walked toward inside my apartment. Balibag kong isinara ang pinto at pumihit para harapin ang bisitang kasalukuyang nakatayo sa likuran ko, nakatalikod.

“Bakit ka ba nandito?” muling tanong ko.

Instead of answering my questions, she asked  me by another question. "Mahal mo ba siya?!" She asked over and over. "Wag kang magsinungaling, nakita ko.”

"Oo," I thought, my heart pounding.

She took off her brown hoodie jacket then turned and looked straight at me. Yumuko na lamang ako, hindi alam kung anong sasabihin; Isasagot ko ba ang totoo o magsisinugaling.

“Hindi mo siya pwedeng mahalin,” she added as if she confirmed.

I felt as if my cheeks were on fire because of anger, while Francia's face was serious. Alam ko na hindi ko siya pwedeng mahalin. Wag mo nang sabihin Francia.

"What if I said yes, magsusumbong ka kay master?"

Her serious face transformed a sudden surprise. I looked away emotionless as francia took a few steps to near at me. Hahawakan niya sana ang pisngi ko nang umilag ako.

"Hindi mo siya pwedeng mahalin," may pangungumbinsi ang kanyang tinig.

I stood motionless. Para akong nangugat sa kinatatayuan na hindi makagalaw. Alam ko, dahil misyon ko siya. My tears burned into my eyes. But I didn't let my tears fall down in front of Francia. No matter what, she would never see me crying. Tumalikod ako sa kanya at doon ko lamang ibinuhos ang aking mga luha. Pain wrapped my heart.

"Kung hindi mo siya kayang patayin ako ang papatay sa kanya."

Walang pag-iisip akong muling humarap sa kanya. "No!" Before I knew what I'm doing, I pushed Francia as hard as I could.

Humandusay siya sa sahig na may kunting ngiwi at malapad ang mangha niya na nakatingin sa akin. Natauhan ako, dali kong pinahiran ang aking mga luha gamit ang mga daliri.

Tumayo si Francia at mapaklang ngumiti. "You're crying because of him?" Tumingala siya sa kisame na hindi makapaniwala. "Hindi mo siya pwedeng mahalin dahil hindi mo lamang siya isang misyon, he's more than that."

I know from the beginning it would be hard to me to choose between Redeemer and master. Kung puwede lamang sana hindi ako mamimili, sana sila na lamang dalawa ang maari kong mahalin.

"What do you mean he's more than?" Kunot-noo kong tanong.

She inhaled deeply then her serious eyes returned at me. I intently stared at her too for equal.
