"No, Hypnos! What are you doing?!" Natataranta na ako habang nakikitang pinoposasan siya ng mga pulis sa mismong bahay niya.

This can't be happening. This will ruin him!

Lumapit ako sakanya at hinarap siya. There was only one thing written in his face, tiredness. Parang handa na talaga siyang sumuko. Pagod na siyang masaktan ako kahit na sinabi ko ng na patawad ko na siya matagal na. Bakit ba kasi hindo siya marunong makinig?

"Hypnos... Bakit mo sinabi iyon?" tears began to swell from my eyes as I look at him helplessly.

Never could have I imagined in my wildest dreams that he would tell the press that he violated me years ago and that he hurt me. Pinatawad ko na siya noon even his lies. Hindi ko na alam ang dahilan niya kung bakit nagagwa niyang isuplong ang sarili ngayon.

"This is the only way, Red. I'm sorry for hurting you." Even his voice sounded so weak. So far from his usual facade. He looks so helpless and weak as the police escorted him outside.

"No please... Wala siyang kasalanan. He's lying." I plead to the policemen while following them outside as they escorts Hypnos.

Rinig ko pa rin ang pag-iyak ng anak namin sa loob habang pinipigilan ito ni Kuya Geralt na tumakbo papunta sa daddy niya. She was calling for her father but even I could not get him off the hook.

The police who escorted him until the police car looked at me apologetically.

"Sorry po, mam pero sa presinto na lang po kayo mag-usap. Siya na po mismo ang umamin sa ginawa niya. Sorry po talaga." Nagpaalam na ito at pumasok na sa loob ng sasakyan.

Lumuluhang nakatingin lang ako sa sasakyang umalis dala dala si Hypnos na mukhang makukulong talaga. Hindi to pwedeng mangyari, he's a Duke, mawawala lahat sakanya kapag nakulong siya. And I'm going to lose him too. I can't afford that!

"Mommy!" Napatigil ako sa pagiyak at nilingon ang boses ng anak ko na tumawag sakin.

She ran towards me kaya binuhat ko siya. Umiyak lang siya sa balikat ko habang ako ay pilit na pinapakalma ang sarili. I don't want our daughter seeing us like this. Ang bata bata niya pa para dito.

"Let's go." Another voice who's approaching us caught my attention.

It was Kuya Xerxes together with my sister who's smiling right now. What the hell? Bakit siya nakangiti?

"Saan, kuya?" I ask, confused.

"To get my brother, what else?" Aniya at masungit na itinaas pa ang isang kilay.

Nabigla naman ako doon dahil parang simpleng bagay lang ang sitwasyon ngayon ng kapatid niya.

"How?" I asked. "How can we do that when he just confessed publicly about t-that?"

My sister chuckled after I said that that made me confused. How can she laugh in the middle of all of this when she was the ome who caused this all. If mot for her manipulation ay baka wala kami ngayon sa posisyong ito.

"The interview was pre-recorder," Kuya Xerxes simply answered.

Kumunot ang noo ko habang iniisip ang sinabi niya. Pre-recorded...

Nanlaki naman ang mga mata ko noong marealize ang sinabi ni Kuya. It was Pre-recorded so therefore there is still a chance na hindi pa iyon napapalabas sa publiko!
