Simula

Maingay na nagsisiyahan ang lahat sa gilid ng swimming pool habang naghihintay na salubungin ang bagong taon. Pag patak ng 11:59 pm ay nagtipon ang lahat para manood ng fireworks kung saan ang mga lalki sa pamilyang Tios ang magsisindi. At naging tradisyon na nila ito taon-taon. Nang sampung segundo na lang bago mag hating-gabi ay nagsimula na silang mag-countdown.

"Ten!

Nine!

Eight!

Seven!

Six!

Five!

Four!

Three!

Two!

One!

Happy New Year!"

Auld Lang Syne music is been playing on the background. As the fireworks erupted in the skies. Eveyone is busy on greetings each other.

"Happy Ne—"

Hindi natapos ni Aruna ang kanyang sasabihin dahil na hawakan siya ni Francis nang tinulak ito ng kaniyang kambal na si Nokolai sa pool.

They both got a bad fall the reason why Aruna drank a couple of water and injured her legs.

'Tangene naman oh! I can't swim my legs got cramped.' Sabi ni Aruna sa kanyang isip.

Plus the water is so cold. She keeps on waving her hands hoping that they could see her. But her visions are starting to blur. And she runs out of breath. The next thing she knows, is that her body is sinking but before it touches the bottom she saw someone swim towards her direction.
