RHEIGN'S POV

"The target is moving, Rheign," Mark immediately informed me.

I didn't move a bit but instead, I kept on watching the monitor. I continued to watch how the target move.

"Tell Corrin to hold his position. We do not need any blood at the event," utos ko kay Mark na nasa likod ko.

Hindi naman na ito sumagot sa akin. Nakarinig na lamang ako ng pagbukas at pagsara ng pinto, senyales na nakuha na nito ang pinag-uutos ko.

I'm here at my office...

It's his office.

I just did some renovations because I might get emotional everytime I see the old office he had. It's been 3 years... and I'm still the old Rheign...

Nothing changed.

Well, something changed, but not everything. There's some minimal changes happened to us, to the group.

I became the head or the leader of Dark. I replaced him in that position... and I learnt everything and how everything goes. We coped everything... even his death, Tristan's death.

Hindi naging madali sa amin ang bagay na 'yon. Para bang nawalan ng lakas ang buong grupo dahil sa pagkawala n'ya. Kinailangan naming lumipat at tapusin ang lahat ng bagay at nang matapos na ito... bumalik kami sa tunay na reyalidad.

Hindi naging madali sa akin ang pagkawala n'ya. I lost the love of my life... I lost Tristan suddenly. Handa na ako sa sarili kong makasama s'ya no'ng mga panahon na 'yon. Iyon na ang panahon na hiniling ko sa Panginoon na sana... sana si Tristan na ang taong para sa 'kin. But my path ruined everything. My fate took him away from me.

But I continued...

I'm still his home that he used to wish before. And... I do not know if I would wait or I would forget.

But, afterall, I still love him. I still love Tristan Deriago. The architect of my life, the warrior of my battle and the person that my heart screamed the most.

"Rheign," rinig kong saad ni ate Mau sa speaker na narito sa opisina ko. We're communicating through call.

Matalim ang mata kong tiningnan ang monitor. Malapit na ang tamang oras na hinihintay namin. Malapit na.

"Yes, ate?" tanong ko.

"Threin is crying," pagkarinig ko pa lamang ng sinabi ni ate Mau ay napalingon naman ako sa speaker. "he's finding you."

"Uh... kindly tell him that I'm still on my work, ate," marahang saad ko naman.

Mabilis na pagkatok ang narinig ko bago kumaripas ng takbo papasok si Mark. Para bang hingal na hingal 'to.

"It's recorded," hinihingal na saad ni Mark.

Agad akong napatayo sa swivel chair at tiningnan s'yang mariin. "what? They knew?"

"They did. Win contacted me, the governor is leaving," nangangambang saad ni Mark sa akin. "anong gagawin natin?"

Napa-buntong hininga naman ako. "just like the second plan. Contact every subordinate that's assigned to the governor's way out. Tell them to move, I'll follow."
