Chapter IV

Bumalik sila sa Night Tower, na nalocate around the parameter of the Nightmare Breaker, to rest and eat. Tayce find it weird because they also it and sleep in this world. Maybe their world is real but humans aren't aware of it.

"'Yung matanda kanina. Why did you two disrespect him?"

Napatigil sa pagkain sina Secrwt at Help at nagkatinginan. Ilang saglit pa ay napatawa na si Help. He seemed different sa Help kanina sa rooftop. Earlier, he was very cold and...dangerous.

"Matanda? Disrespect?" Tayce would really think na happy-go-lucky guy si Help. He's always laughing and smiling. "We're even older than him. We just look like we're in mid 20s because we're immortal. Well, except kung patayin kami, we will die."

"B-bakit? Ilang taon na ba kayo?"

"527."

"524."

Help and Secret answered respectively. Napaubo si Tayce dahil dun but Secret was quick and lended her a glass of watee which she accepted and drink.

"Five...h-hundred?!" Tumango lang sila na parang hindi lang big deal. "Shuts! 20 pa nga lang ako."

"See? You're still an idiot for me." Nagmake-face si Tayce at uminom muli ng tubig. She really need to get used to his attitude if she want survive.

Matapos nilang kumain ay sinamahan siya ni Help na magligpit ng pinagkainan habang pumunta naman si Secret sa kwarto niya. Tamad talaga.

"Pinapahugas niyo rin ba ang mga tinutulungan niyo dito?" Napatawa na lang bigla si Hel sa tanong niya "Saya mo noh?"

"Yeah. I am so happy," aniya. "Anyway. That was maybe almost 500 years ago noong huling may naghugas ng pinagkainan namin dito maliban sa akin. Pero hindi katulad mong tao ah."

"Poor Help. Hindi ka ba tinutulungan ng kumag na 'yun?"

"Nope. He's always been busy," sagot ni Help habang nagsasabon ng mga plato.

"Busy sa ano?"

Help smiled. "Busy sa paghihintay." It made her think. Kakikilala niya pa lang sa kanila and she's sure there are a lot of things na malalaman pa niya. Who's he waiting for?

"May hinihintay ba kayong kasamahan niyo na bumalik?" Biglang lumungkot ang mga mata ni Help at tumango sa tanong. Mukhang foul ata ang tanong niya. She should've at least been gentle pero tinudo niya.

"Let's not talk about her, Tayce," aniya.

Her? It means babae. Girlfriend kaya n'ong kumag na 'yun na walang manners? At five centuries ago na noong huling may naghugas dito maliban sa kay Help. It means, five hundred years na rin siyang naghihintay.

"Kaya siguro ganun si Secret dahil maliban sa paghihintay ay menopausal na rin," giit ni Tayce.

"Menopausal?" takang tanong ni Help.

"A," she reacted at hilaw na tumawa. "Wala. Sa babae 'yun. Andropausal naman sa lalaki," paliwanag niya pero he just tilted his head a little at kumunot ang noo. "Ah I mean, wala talaga".

Napatawa naman si Help at nagpatuloy na sa pagsabon habang siya naman ang bumabanlaw.

"It's a relief having you here Tayce," bulong ni Help. He just smiled at her nang makita nitonh nakatingin sa kaniya with a confused-look on her face.

Matapos nilang hugasan ang pinagkainan ay pumunta na siya sa sariling kwartong sinabi ni Help na tutulugan niya. He was busy preparing for this room. Iyun ang sabi nito. But his claim was proved by the look of the room. It wasn't that elegant but it's beautiful. He just guessed that the electric blue is her favorite color at tama naman ang hula niya. He was so happy when he knew.

Tayce smiled when she remembered her room sa bahay nila but the thought made her smile to vanish and was replace with deep sadness. Sinubukan niyang pakalmahin ang sarili dahil parang iiyak na naman siya. Pero hindi nakatulong iyun nang maalala niya ang aksidenteng nangyari dahil nakita niya ang kulay pulang ribbon sa doorknob. She can see nothing other than blood.

She fell on the cold floor and hugged herself because of there fear that is slowly overtaking her whole system.

Gustong-gusto niya nang bumalik pero hindi niya alam kung pano. Ayaw niya pang mamatay. Marami pa siyang pangarap na gustong matupad. Gusto niya ring tuparin ang pangarap ng mga magulang. Gusto niyanh mapasaya sila gaya ng ginagawa nila ng Ate niya. Ayaw niyang maulit na naman ang nangyari at mawalan pa sila ng isa pang anak.

What happened to her sister is tragic. She was found dead in a remote area, walang saplot pang-ibaba. The feeling of being desperate to live, like her sister, naranasan iyun ni Tayce noong dumating siya dito. Noong may humahabol sa kaniyang Govern. The only difference is that, her sister has no one to ask for help while her, may mga nilalalang na nakapalibot sa kaniya pero walang naglakas loob na tumulong maliban sa kanila ni Secret.

Bigla niya nasapo ang dibdib dahil bigla itong nanikip. She can't breathe as her whole body pounded so hard with the beat of her heart.

"H-Help," she called Help's mame although she's having difficulty in breathing. She decided to call Help rather than Secret kasi baka pabayaan lang siya nun. "Help! Tulongan mo 'ko!"

Ang sakit ng dibdib niya. Patuloy lang din sa pagtulo ang mga luha niya. Until she lost her consciousness.

ITINABI NI SECRET ang picture niya at tumayo para buksan ang pinto ng balcony. Gusto niyang magpahangin. Gusto niyang maramdamang muli ang lamig ng hangin ngayon.

Naalala niya ang nangyari kanina. He was tough earlier. Siguro ay hindi siya sanay na masaksihan iyun. Ang hina nito sa paningin niya.

"Why are you doing this to me Misty?" Napatingala siya sa mga bituwin sa kalawakan. "Are you torturing me for telling you that I love you for so late? For making you feel you've been love so late?" He shook his head. "Please. Don't let me regret this second chance just like the first. I promise, I'll be the one to protect and save you this time."

Bumuntong hininga siya at papasok na sana sa kwarto niya nang biglang tumibok ng pagkalakas ang dibdib niya. His left hand held the door at ang isa kamay ay nakahawak sa itinukod niyang baston. Ang sakit. Parang tinusok ng sabay at piniga ang dibdib.

"Si T-Tayce!"

He shook his head and ran towards her room. His heart was piecre by thousand of dagger when he saw her lying unconsciously on the floor, basa ang pisngi.

He cursed. "I told her to stop crying!"

Agad niya itong inayos sa sahig at halos mapamura nang mapulsuhan ito. Ang hina ng pulso niya! Her body is slowly turning cold and he couldn't help himself from panicking.

"Tayce?! Tayce, can you hear me? Tayce!!" There's no response. She's not also breathing. "Damn! Why are you so hard-headed?"

Inayos niya ang ulo nito at pumwesto sa gilid niya. He pumped her chest and provide her air. He's doing it over and over again until he saw her inhaled deeply and opened her eyes. He resuscitated her. Through CPR.

Pinabangon niya ito at pinasandal sa dibdib niya habang habol nito ang paghinga. She's crying again but he can not blame her for now. It won't help. At isa pa, hindi rin naman ito makikinig.

"Sshhhh. Stop crying. You're secured now, Tayce. Do you hear me?" Hinaplos nito ang buhok niya while keep on hushing her.

She hugged him like she can't take the challenge anymore. His poor little thing... He know she's facing a great challenge but she'll eventually overcome it. Naniniwala siya dun.

Nang tumahan na si Tayce ay napatingin siya sa dito. Nakatulog pala. And it made him smile, just like before. He carried her light body as he stood up and tucked her in bed.

"I heard her called my name. I'm sorry kung ngayon lang ako. Inuna ko kasi ang bata na unang tumawag sa akin and kampante ako na nandito ka namn," paliwanag ni Help after he sensed his presence behind him.

"Don't worry. She's fine now".

Nagpaalam ito para puntahan ang bata. Umupo naman siya sa tabi ni Tayce at tinitigan ang mukha niya. He tried to fix the strand of her hair gently while intently looking at her face. If only she could remember... If she only could...

He smiled bitterly. "I've been hoping that one day, you'll utter my name instead of uttering Help's name." He almost cheer when his voice didn't crack.

Bumuntong hinga si Secret and bit his lower lip. He can feel it's softness with the pain in his chest that his sadness had caused. But he was eventually stopped nang marealize niya kung ano ang nangyari kanina habang nererevive niya ito.

He abruptly stated at Tayce's lips at nahulog na lang siya sa sahig dahil sa gulat, kilig, tuwa at panghihina.

"Sh-shuts," He uttered unbelievably. "Our lips touched."
