After the encounter, the Aguila successfully captive Lily. After General Borja's burial, it's time for them to take care the rest. Every one of them is still mourning, they know they should get a grief of their selves, but you can't dictate a longing heart

Everyone is bothered at Lily's presence, as they should. They're all glaring at her, want to kill her, they loathe her and they want to gave her punishment

"Lakad!" One of the men shouted at her, he's about to move her in a different room, but she's zooming out. Unable to keep her balance, she fell on the ground unconscious

Oscar having enough of it, "huwag mo kaming dramahan!" His growls echoed, he took her hand and pulled her, he really doesn't care not until he gets to feel her. "Ang init mo" she's burning, hot, she's sick. He left her right away, letting them take care of her, silly because he's well aware that they're not going to do it. After releasing the pressure and the bubble of anger inside him subside, he goes back at her and move her to the bed next to Aurora

He tied her hand, moving her to the corner of the room, making sure that she's far enough to Aurora. He goes back with water and towel with him, for god's sakes, even he's raging the humanity was still there, is still there, that's what he is, that's who is he or who are they

The unconscious lady whimpers on her sleep, and her tears flow, she's having a nightmare, even how pissed he is, he offered her his hand, that's the lease he can do. Aurora shows a response, "Oscar" at her weak voice, Oscar wants to rush to her in an instant, but Lily is gripping his hand, he takes it hastily, and before he even can get contact with Aurora, Lily start having a seizure

"Tulong!" He shouted, "tumawag kayo ng manggagamot"

The healer warm them, having a 40° temperature is pretty dangerous. Because of the sudden body shake her wounds open "Dumudugo ang sugat nya" secretary Diana noticed, she accidentally stabbed Lily on her side, it's a defense. "Infection 'to Mr President. Kaylanga nyang madala sa hospital"

"Paano natin gagawin 'yun?"

"Kapag hindi ito naagapan, maaring ikamatay nya" who would care? She's an enemy after all, they can just let her die and they're free, but Oscar doesn't want a blood on his hand

"Dadalin ko sya sa hospital" it takes a lot of conversation, the argument goes on "hindi nila sasaktan ang first lady, at ako ang aako ng panganib" end of discussion

They bring Lily in the car, ready to leave, but Aurora called. "Huwag mo kong iwan please" he'll not, but for his wife, his wife

At that very moment, he started questioning his love, what is true and what he tell himself. What he feels and what he believes

"Babalik ako" there's no certainly

For the second times today, he chose Lily over Aurora. For the last time in forever, he chose Lily over anything else

She wasn't there, Lily makes her way at the clip, at the seashore. "Lily" she's not weak, she turned around, and smiles at Oscar, flashes of memories wave back at him, "halikana,  kaylangan mong madala sa hospital" she smiles once more, and again, again

"I'm sorry, Oscar... We can't change the alignment of the stars"

He watches as she falls back into the water, for the last time in forever, she chose her, "Lily!" He runs and jump into the water, hoping that he's not late, he swims, even the water turned into red, he didn't stop until he have her. "Lily please" finally, he admitted to himself that he loves her, he still loves her. Sadly, he can't change the alignment of the stars
