Samantha’s POV
Nakahinga ako ng maluwag ng makababa ng eroplano. Matagal narin ang dalawang taon, at nakakamiss ang lugar na ito, pinagsawa ko ang mga mata ko at nilibot ng paningin ang buong lugar. Nasa ganoon akong kalagayan ng biglang...
"Sam! over here!" napalingon ako sa pinanggalingan ng boses, at agad din na napangiti at lumapit dito.
" Hey! sabi ko h'wag mo na kong sunduin, I can manage." Paninita ko sa kanya.
" It's alright, saka isa lang naman ang pupuntahan natin kaya sinundo na kita. Pagod ba ang girlfriend ko?" Pangngulit pa nito sa kanya trying to sound cheesy.
" Stop it! sabi nang hindi mo ko girlfriend," sabi ko sa kanya na s'ya namang ikinatigil n'ya. Naghatid ito ng pamilyar na sakit sa dibdib ko.

Chapter 24: Lies Jupiter's POV "A-chi anak?" narinig kong sambit ni mom, ng makita n'ya kami na papasok sa dining area. Napatingin ako sa kanya, wala man lang s'yang kahit kaunting recognition sa mga nangyayari. Now that I see it, hindi aakto ng ganoon si Argos kung s’ya nga si A-chi. He would never hurt the person he cherished the most. Alam ko kung gaano kamahal ni A-chi ang mom n’ya, that is why half of me still believes the possibility. " Love, It's Argos... I'm sorry hijo, maupo na kayo," hinging paumanhin ni dad, na nginitian lang ng huli bago kami tuluyang maupo. " No! he's my son A-chi." Mapwersang sabi ng kabiyak nito. " Love please... he's also your son--" Pigil parin nito sa asawa. " It's alright, D-dad?" tila naman naninibago na tugon ni Argos. " Let's eat mom

Dad, ask him na ihatid kaming dalawa ni Lucas dahil nakatulog na ito, pasado ala-sais narin ng makarating kami." Hindi ko pa sigurado pero may alam ako sa music. May maiirecomend ka ba na trabaho na related sa bagay na 'yon?" tanong nito sa kanya na s'yang ikinatigil ko. Nakarating na pala kami ng hindi ko namamalayan." A-chi, loves music too." Wala sa sariling komento ko." Really? that's nice. Kung bu-"" Patay na s'ya." Putol ko sa gusto n'yang sabihin." I'm sorry..." ang tanging nasambit n'ya ng bumaba kami at simulant na n'yang buhatin si Lucas mula sa backseat." You don't need to be sorry, hindi mo kasalanang magkamukha kayo. Kung meron man

Hindi ko s’ya masisi, wala akong karapatang masaktan dahil ako ang puno’t dulo ng lahat. I went crazy as soon as I heard the news from the nurse desk, then I find myself rushing to the operating room. “Let’s not be like this Mr. Cha, he’s not dead.” Pasimula ng doctor ni A-chi na dahilan para balingan naming s’yang dalawa. “W-what do you mean by that? You just said--” naguguluhang sabi ko sa kanya. “He could be saved… but he’s basically dead. Not being able to function means he’s basically dead, we won’t be able to wake him u

Hindi s'ya si A-chi! Paulit-ulit kong kumbinsi sa sarili. "Wake up Jupiter! hanggang kailan ka ba iiyak sa taong wala na?" Pagalit ko pa sa sarili ko, habang nakatingin sa sarili ko sa salamin. Maya-maya, ay may narinig akong katok mula sa labas ng cubicle. " Are you okay?" tanong n'ya mula sa labas at instead na sagutin s'ya lumabas ako para harapin s’ya. I was about to tell him na okay lang ako pero nabigla ako dahil, n

Bakit?" Napamaang naman ako sa tanong na iyon mula kay Chase." Why do you want to stay with her? she's a lot safer with me," he stated confidently as if he said the right thing."

He nodded and I give Chase a glance asking to give him some space with Samantha.
