Walter's POV

December 1, xxxx

We'll be flying to New York today grabe nakakapagod mag ayos nang gamit medyo madami din yung gamit na dadalhin ko kasi isang buwan din kami doon its currently 5:30 am tapos na akong mag ayos and I am just waiting for the van that we'll be riding. our flight is at 7:00 am pero we decided to eat out for breakfast kaya maaga kami aalis nang bahay namin kahapon we finished all of our requirements for this semester and we're already excused from our Intramurals kaya wala na kaming problema, Angelica actually slept in our guest room last night and sina Alex at Leandro naman kina Christian natulog I'm sitting in our living room while waiting for Angelica and Markus isasama ko si Markus kasi baka magkagulo na naman ang mga magulang ko kaya mas mabuting isama ko nalang si Markus sa New York I heard the honk of the van we're going to ride outside our house kaya tinawag ko na si Angelica at Markus

"Angelica, Markus the van's here"

Lumabas naman si Angelica at Markus sa mga kwarto nila Angelica was wearing a white long sleeved polo and denim jeans she was also wearing her favorite blue balenciaga shoes sa dami nyang sapatos yan talaga sinusuot nya while my brother and I had the same attire white polo, denim jeans, and a pair of black Air Jordans

Ngumiti naman si Angelica sa akin "tara na"

Sumigaw naman ang kapatid ko "NEW YORK HERE WE COME!!!!!"

"Shhh Markus tulog pa ang mommy mo" pinagsabihan naman sya ni Angelica

"hehe sorry ate tara na baka they're waiting for us na" Markus grabbed our hands and we went out together tinulungan kami nang driver na maisakay sa van ang mga gamit namin sumakay na din kaming tatlo sa van si Alex halatang gusto pang matulog si Leandro naman pareho silang hyper ni Markus, Christian looked nervous at the same time excited we settled ourselves inside the van and the driver started driving magkatabi kami ni Angelica sa ikalawag row nang van, si Christian naman at Alex sa harapan namin, ang dalawang hyper naman na sa likod naglalaro nang Mobile Legends ewan ko talaga dyan kay Leandro sa iban tao napaka seryoso pero kapag pinagsama silang dalawa ni Markus para talaga syang bata

pinatulog ko muna si Angelica since I know gusto nya pang matulog. We all slept at 11:30 last night gusto nya pa kasing manood nang movies kaya 11:30 na kami nakatulog kagabi her head was on my shoulder tulog na tulog sya. For 30 minutes lagi kong pinapagalitan sina Leandro at Markus kasi baka magising si Angelica, tatahimik sila after 3 minutes iingay na naman Angelica would also move from time to time kaya pinapagalitan ko sina Markus at Leandro. When we reached McDonalds sila lang ang lumabas I asked them to order for me and Angelica instead kaming dalawa lang sa van after ilag minutes she woke up

she rubbed her eys "nasaan sila?"

"they're inside McDonalds you were asleep kaya sila nalang yung nag order para sa atin since I didn't wanna wake you up"

she smiled damn simpleng ngiti nya lang"oh okay pwede ba tayong bumaba I need to go to the restroom din Walter"

"Sige tara" I opened the door of the van and guided her out we went inside McDonalds nakita ko ang table nina Leandro kaya dun ako pumunta habang si Angelica naman pumunta sa restroom

hinahanda ko ang pagkain namin ni Angelica nang magsalita si Christian

"Walter kinakabahan ako I don't know if she'll still take me back" he sighed

I gave him a smile for assurance "I know it'll be hard but I know she still loves you when she was in Manila I always caught her looking at you when you were doing something miss na miss ka na nya. Just show her how much you love her I know lalambot din yon and 'wag ka ding gumawa nang mga bagay na makakasakit sa kanya. Gain her trust again at 'wag kang mangako kung di mo tutuparin."

"I won't I can't afford to lose her baka mabaliw na talaga ako nang tuluyan" natawa naman ako sa sinabi nya

sumabat naman si Leandro "I'd love to be the one to take you to the mental institute" napatawa naman kaming lahat sa sinabi nya. After a few minutes I finally saw Angelica approaching our table but I saw something in her eyes I ignored that when I saw her smile at me

"Tara na kain na tayo baka ma late pa tayo sa flight natin" umupo naman sya at nagsimula na kaming kumain.

After eating we rode the van again our whole ride papunta nang airport I noticed that Angelica was quite tulala lang syang nakatingin sa labas

"Are you okay ate Angelica?" naunahan na ako ni Markus sa dapat kong tanong kay Angelica

"Huh? Oh I'm okay Markus I'm just tired" sagot naman ni Angelica kay Markus she then gave him a smile as a sign of assurance Markus smiled at Angelica as well and continued on playing

Nag aalala ako kay Angelica its really unusual kasi sobrang tahimik nya talaga tapos tulala pa sya

"Angelica do you wanna sleep the airport is 35 minutes away from where we are you can still sleep" sabi ko sa kanya

"No its okay baka naninibago lang ako since its been 2 years since I last travelled abroad"

I smiled at her and tried to sleep

Angelica's POV

Pag lingon ko kay Walter ulit he was already sleeping so I placed his head on my shoulder so that he wouldn't be uncomfortable, hinaplos ko ang buhok nya habang natutulog sya he looked so at peace when he was sleeping. Aaminin ko na talaga na mahal ko na si Walter pero natatakot akong may mangyaring masama sa amin sa New York.

Flashback

Nag paalam ako kay Walter na pupunta muna ako sa restroom I was on my way to the restroom when I saw someone familiar I didn't mind it kasi baka guni-guni ko lang yon pumasok na ako sa banyo at umihi pagkatapos ko ay lumabas na ako para mag hugas nang kamay nagulat naman ako kasi may lalaking nakaabang sa harapan ng pinto I thought it was Walter pero nagulat ako sa mukhang nakita ko nang humarap ang lalake

"F-Felix" hindi nga ako nagkamali it was Felix my first love he had mature features now pero alam kong si Felix toh

"Angelica my dear I've missed you" he said and grinned

Damn that playful grin

His hair was still slicked back, moreno pa rin sya, he grew taller, his piercing eyes that looked right through my soul were still the same, and his annoyingly handsome grin

"y-you're back" nauutal ako habang sinasabi ko 'yon

He sighed and spoke "I'm back baby and I hate what you've been doing these days with that foolish looking boy"

"Felix don't you dare" alam ko kung anong kayang gawin ni Felix kaya natatakot ako sa mga bagay na kaya nyang gawin sa amin ni Walter

"Oh baby you don't know what I'm capable of do ilang beses kong pinaalala yan sa'yo diba you are mine" halatang galit na si Felix

"Felix how many times do I have to tell you na ayaw ko na sa'yo you left me"

"I never left you! I explained to you that I was coming back pero when I came back wala ka na"

"Felix just leave me alone and go back to Italy Felix diba masaya ka na doon. Sobrang yaman mo na Felix, you can have all the ladies that you want kahit anong gusto mo kaya mo nang bilhin you found happiness dahil sa pera just leave me alone and continue with your life"

"are you sure that I'm happy? I've been miserable for 2 years Angelica sa dalawang taon ko sa Italya I was thinking about you I needed to be in Italy because of my biological father he needed me I sent you letters since I couldnt have my phone and then when I came back you're now with that foolish boy!" he broke down I know he was lying iba ang sinabi ni papa sa akin, I left him there while he was crying at pumunta na kay Walter.

Felix Jason Roa Nostra is my first love and his mom is also my mom's childhood friend and bestfriend, kaya noong mga bata pa lang kami magkaibigan na kami. We were bestfriends, hanggang sa kinausap kaming dalawa nang mga magulang namin the moment both of us turned 13 they asked us about fixed marriage, what were our opinions about it then they told us we were going to be fixed marriage pumayag naman kaming dalawa it turned out we're each others first love. After 3 years of being engaged he knew his dad wasn't his real dad he met his biological dad and they went to Italy papa stopped our arrangement when we knew the dad of Felix is the leader of Le Mafia Cosa Nostra the most powerful and known mafia in Italy they had big businesses but they also sold guns that was their only illegal business they killed bad people as well but dad didn't like that kaya he stopped our arrangement and Felix didn't even fight for us. He just left.

When we arrived at the airport we immediately went inside the plane of Andy's grandfather he knew we were going to New York and he also knew the reaso why pumayag naman sya at sinabihan si Christian na sasususnod na saktan nya si Andy he'll be facing death. Natatawa pa din ako tuwing naalala ko ang takot sa mukha ni Christian nung kinausap sya nang lolo ni Andy.

15 hours later, 9:00 PM New York.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have just landed at JFK International Airport. Welcome to New York. The local time is 21:00 PM. Please check around your seat for any personal belongings you may have brought on board with you. On behalf of your Flight Deck Crew headed by Captain Juarez with our First Officer Jimenez, and the rest of the the team. We thank you for joining Don Antonio Garcia's private plane "Alpha" on this trip and we are looking forward to seeing you onboard again in the near future. Have a great evening.

sumigaw naman si Leandro at Markus "Finally!" napatawa naman kaming lahat nang dahil sa kanila we all went down the plane and stretched a bit we were welcomed to New York by lolo Antonio's head guard

"Pleasant evening madam and sirs welcome to New York I am Pepito the head guard of Don Antonio my crew and I will be escorting you to the Don's humble home here in New York a moment from now he will call you for more information"

Christian's phone rang he then switched it to speaker mode

"Good evening mga apo this is your lolo Antonio I've informed your parents that you will be staying in my humble home for the rest of your stay here in New York ikaw naman Christian you better get my lovely apo back I'll be waiting for all of you. Pepito make them ride the helicopter. See you!"

He ended the call gulat na gulat naman kaming lahat except for Markus who was sleeping in Walter's arms maliit lang din naman kasi si Markus kaya kayang kaya syang buhatin ni Walter who's a 6 footer. May tatlong helicopter sa harapan namin Leandro, Christian, and Alex rode the first helicopter, kami naman nina Markus at Walter we rode the 2nd one yung mga tauhan naman ni Lolo Antonio sa ikatlong helicopter

The ride lasted for 5 or 6 minutes lang we landed at a huge lot with a mansion in the middle we went down of the helicopter gising na din si Markus

kinukusot pa nya ang mga mata nya when he fully opened his eyes napasigaw sya "Ate where- wow is that a castle!?"

"I-I honestly don't know what its called Markus"

"Madam and Sirs shall we go inside now"

Sabay kaming lahat naglakad patungo sa mansion (na parang castle) nagulat naman kami nang sumigaw si Alex at nagtatakbo na papunta sa mansion nila Andy

"GAW! IMISSYOU!!!"

We all looked up and saw Andy in the terrace she was looking down at us ibang iba na ang mukha ni Andy it has been 2 or 3 months mula noong umuwi sya sa Philippines her hair was now black and she was wearing a black silk robe she looked mature din para syang hindi si Andy na kilala namin pero she smiled when she saw me and Alex tumalikod na sya and we continued walking towards their mansion. Pagkapasok pa lang namin we were greeted by Don Antonio

"Welcome to our humble home mga apo!" lumapit naman kaming laa hat para makipag high five kay lolo he ayaw nya din kasing magmano kami nakakatanda daw after a few minutes we also saw Andy coming down from their long staircase Alex ran to her and hugged her

"I miss you ate!!!" sumigaw na naman si Alex

"Alejandrino ba't ka ba sigaw nang sigaw" kalmadong tanong sa kanya ni Lolo Antonio

"Miss ko po ate ko alam mo namang wala akong kapatid" ginulo naman ni Andy ang buhok nya at lumapit na sa amin

"Welcome to New York! Angelica wahhh I miss you!!!" lumapit si Andy sa akin at niyakap ako

"Andy what happened to your hair akala ko ba red forever na yan?"

"Wala I wanted my hair to be black kaya nagpa dye ako last week di mo ba nakita I posted it on FB kanina check mo daliii while we go sa dining let's eat dinner muna I'm sure you guys are starving"

I opened my phone habang naglalakad papunta nang dining nila and I checked her fb post. Her was black and she was wearing the same robe

"I know all of you are hungry tara na let's eat" all of us sat down in their dining and we started praying si Markus yung pinagdasal namin he even prayed na patawarin ni Andy si Christian pagkatapos noon he said Amen

napaubo naman si Andy at tumawa nang malakas si lolo

"I like you apo you remind me of Alex when he was younger may point din naman yung bata Andy-

pinutol naman nang isang napakagandang babae ang sinabi ni lolo she looked like the older version of Andy she was wearing a white satin robe and her hair was also black but it was short tapos may style she looked like an elegant rockstar na parang reyna

"Yes the kid has a point but dapat pahirapan mo muna Andy. You tinuro nya si Christian I want you to court my grandchild and prove that you are worthy of her love. Now lets eat" she sat down near lolo

"Hera wag mo naman takutin yung bata"

"I wasn't. He should do what I said right Andy baby oh looking at you makes me remember what I looked when I was younger my granndchild is as gorgeous as me!"

"You flatter me too much abuela"

"But your lolo has a point give the boy a second chance pahirapan mo lang. You young boy kaya mo ba?"

Tumayo naman si Christian

"Yes po I'll do everything to get her back"

"That's the spirit!" sigaw ni lolo Antonio napatawa naman kaming lahat

After dinner we just chatted with Andy's family for a bit then decided to go to sleep kasi medyo late na din.

I was now in my bed nagulat naman ako when I received a message from an unkown number

UNKNOWN NUMBER:

I'll be watchin you and that foolish boy my love I'll see you tomorrow! Goodnight and Sweetdreams mi amore!

-F.Nostra (Save my number)

How the hell would he see me tomorrow?

I didn't bother saving his number. I went to sleep instead thinking about what will happen tomorrow.
