Days passed but still no news about Quinn's whereabouts. Pabalik-balik ang mga investigators at Police pero wala pa ring resulta. For Luca it's just some fruitless search, para sa kanya they're both dead. But for Henri it's a completely different story which soon is going to unfold. Somewhere deep inside her, that gut feeling that never goes away keeps churning and it burns her entire being.


*******************************************************************************


They were brainstorming that night, malapit na kasing matapos ang playground pati na rin ang Ramp pero may mga last minute changes si Henri.


"I like that", todo ngiting sagot ni Reece. "Floating Picnic Huts but it would be too much work."


"Naka-commit ka na ba sa iba after this project?" tanong ni Henri nang may halong tampo ang boses.


"No no, I love working here" sagot naman ni Reece.


"Cuz, we can hire another Engineer kung ayaw na ni Reece or you can design it yourself", tukso naman ni Luca.


"Okae", sang-ayon agad ni Henri.


Naguguluhan namang napatingin si Reece sa magpinsan. "Nakasinghot na naman kayong dalawa nang Katol kaya niyo ko pinagtritripan, ano? Magpinsan nga kayo." sagot niya sabay iling.


" Of course not but if you really want to leave it's fine we're not that important anyway" pang-aasar pa rin ni Luca.


Natawa na lang si Reece sa guilt trip nang magpinsan.


Little did they know that night will be the beginning of a series of unfortunate events.


They we're still discussing nang biglang may malakas at sunod na sunod na katok sa study nang mga Dansk.


"Pasok", sagot ni Luca.


Si Yaya na parang binuhusan nang malamig na yellow ang pumasok. Hindi pa rin ito nagsasalita, pero nang lapitan ito ni Luca. Naluluha pa ang matanda nang sabihin kay Luca ang balita "Hijo, buhay ang kasintahan mo. Bumalik na si Ariah".


At parang gumuho ang mundo ni Luca. But the glint on Henri's eyes and the unreadable expression of her face is just plain scary.



****I Know this one is short, let's just say it's a glimpse of things to come. Hopefully someone out there's still waiting for an update. This one was in my draft for two years but never got the chance to update for personal 'tragic' matters.


Mahalo for reading!


Love,

Basya
