There were so many errors in the previous chapters. And expect so many errors in here too. I am sorry for having no time to edit, but I assure you, maybe soon I will edit this story to lessen the errors I made.

"You're free now... my love. You're no longer trapped inside the monster's arms."

I stared at him for a second, trying to process all what he just said. Hindi ko siya lubos na maintindihan.

"You heard me right," he wiped his tears. "Malaya ka na. S-sorry for forcing and hurting you, hindi na 'yon mauulit dahil hindi ka na akin."

Then, he drove away. Napatitig ako sa kawalan dahil sa sinabi niya. Malaya na ako. I should be happy knowing that I'm no longer trapped inside. But I didn't understand why I felt so... empty.

When we arrived, agad na kaming pumunta sa condo unit namin without saying any words. Though, I didn't feel any awkward because we're too quiet. Ang sakit lang ng dibdib ko and I wanted to cry so hard.

Pumunta siya agad sa bathroom at ako naman ay hinubad ang jacket ni Raike na suot ko. Puro na rin buhangin ang buhok ko ngayon.

When he came out of the bathroom, I went inside it too. Nilagpasan niya lang ako without saying any words... and it kinda hurts me. But, why?

I just sighed heavily and took a cold shower so that I could calm my self down. I was feeling so lonely right now. Gusto kong umiyak pero hindi ko magawa. Feeling ko kasalanan ko na lahat.

When I was done on taking a shower, lumabas na ako and just wearing a robe. Sumilip ako sa study room at nandoon si Kaiden. Napatago ako when I suddenly heard him talking to someone on a phone while studying. He was also laughing. Why is he seemed so... happy?

"Oh, yeah. Goodnight, Wine. See you tomorrow." He said.

Wine. That girl, she was the cause of my insecurities. Dahil sa kanya, nalayo sa 'kin si Kaiden. But that was from the past.

"Okay, so si Zior, kumusta na rin siya?" I heard Wine's voice.

"He was... happy with someone." Kaiden told her.

"Oh, is that so? May boyfriend na siya?" Tanong naman ni Wine.

"Yeah, kind of." Kaiden chuckled.

"That's great. Sige, goodnight, Kaiden." Then, the call suddenly went out.

Agad akong nagbihis na sa walk-in closet. Nakakunot ang noo ko at naiinis na inayos ang pads ko. Ewan ko ba pero naiinis ako kay Wine.

Wala pa rin si Kaiden sa kama nang lumabas ako. I walked to see him in the study room slowly again. At kita ko na nag-aaral pa rin siya. He was also working on some kind of... paper works. Maybe he is making thesis.

Bumalik na lang ako sa kama ko and then I fell asleep. When I woke up, wala siya sa tabi ko. It was 4pm when I stood up from my bed and went in the study room to check on him, at wala na siya roon.

Lumabas ako at nakita ko siya sa may sofa, nakatulog nang mahimbing while hugging a pillow with him. Was he imagining of me kaya? He used to hug me while sleeping before.

At bakit ko nga naman 'yon iniisip?!

I didn't notice a tear just came out from my eyes. My heart is aching. Klaro ang pamamaga sa mga mata niya. Does it hurt for him so bad?

I kneeled down and touched his face. He is really sleeping so peaceful. Oh.. I didn't know but I had this feeling that I baldy want to kiss him.

"I'm sorry," I quickly wiped my tears away and stood up.
