Love...
My idea of love was a mixture of tragedy and beauty. I could still remember how my true parents both loved each other but their relationship was immediately cut short when an unwanted tragedy happened in our family. But I also witnessed how...
Hindi na ako nagbibigay ng dedication kasi napansin ko dati na nagpo-post lang ng comments yung ibang readers ko para mabigyan ng dedication. After ko kasi mapansin, di na sila nagko-comment ulit. At least ngayon nalalaman ko kung sinu-sinong readers talaga yung nag-e-effort na mag-comment talaga at sumusuporta even without dedications. Thank you sa inyo.
Pero dahil nagustuhan ko yung comment mo, mraaurea sa previous chapter, this one is dedicated to you. Enjoy reading!

I frustratedly combed my hair with my fingers while staring at Jeremy in front my laptop.
"This is hopeless, Dad. Almost twenty-four hours na tayong nakabantay dito pero hindi talaga ma-detect dito sa tracker yung location ni Katie."
I clenched my teeth and saw my wife sat down on the couch here inside my office. She turned to me helplessly. "Bakit ganun, Daddy? How are we going to find Katie kung hindi naman makita sa tracker kung nasaan siya?" she asked me worriedly and frustratedly.
"Wala raw sa bahay ni Gomer yung bracelet. Ibig sabihin suot niya yun nung dinukot siya. She was kept somewhere where the tracker couldn't detect the exact location. Maybe she was kept underground, o nasa isang lugar siya na mapuno, o may matataas na building kaya nabo-block yung signal nung RFID."
"Dad, let me help locate where they took Ate," Zend told me. "I can try hacking Paris' security systems. Baka nakuha sa CCTV cameras nila kung saan dumaan yung black na kotse na ginamit sa pag-kidnap kay Ate. When we're lucky enough, maybe the plate number of the getaway car was also caught by their cameras."
Napatingin ako sa asawa ko bago umiling at bumaling ulit kay Zend. "No. Baka mamaya mahuli ka pa nila na hina-hack yung system nila at ikaw naman yung ma-locate nila para hulihin at kasuhan. Nawawala na nga ate n'yo kaya pag may nangyari pa sa isa sa inyong magkakapatid eh baka bumigay na ng tuluyan yung mommy n'yo."
My wife stood up already. "Daddy's right, Zend. Alam namin na gustung-gusto mong makatulong but we need to do everything the proper and legal way. Magpunta na tayo sa Paris, Daddy, at makipag-ugnayan na sa mga authorities dun. Hindi ako makakatulog nang maayos hanggang hindi natin nalalaman kung maayos pa ba si Katie natin o hindi na. If this is kidnap for ransom, de sana tumawag na sa atin yung mga kidnappers para humingi ng pera kapalit nung anak natin. Kaso wala man lang tayong idea kung sino yung mga dumukot sa kanya dahil di naman nila tayo kino-contact."
I gritted my teeth. "Jem, maghanda ka. Tumawag na rin sa akin si Gomer kanina. Pupunta tayo sa Paris bukas na bukas din kasama siya."
"I'll go with you," Zanny told me determinedly while walking towards me.
"No, you stay here with our other children."
"Lance, no! Gusto kong sumama. Payag naman si Mommy at si Daddy na mag-stay dito para bantayan yung mga bata. Daddy even tightened the security here. Ayoko man silang iwan dito but I really need to go with you. Please."
