"I wish for Claire to mess up on SSG work today," I suddenly blurted at Andrei. He squinted his eyes at me demanding me to explain why I said such stupid things. "So I can finally punish her," I said, smiling at him.
"May I remind you, Aldrich, alaga ko si Claire," sabi ni Andrei sa akin na masama ang kanyang tingin. "At nasa ECHO Office ka ngayon. Kapag dumating si Claire at narinig niya 'yan mula sa'yo, baka mag-quit na siya sa SSG."
"Now that you said it," I said, my eyes roaming around the ECHO office. "Nasaan si Claire?"
Di ko pa siya nakikita mula pa kaninang umaga. She didn't even dropped by the SSG office. She was also supposed to assist me when afternoon classes are over. Dapat hindi ko na lang itini

ALDRICH FEN ARELLANO'S POV "Ah, si mama kasi tinanong niya rin sa akin yan kamakailan, kaya nagtataka ako kung bakit mo natanong." Saglit kaming nagkatinginan ni Andrei. "Bakit tinanong sayo ni tita Isabelle?" tanong ko. She just shrugged. "I don't know, maybe she's just imagining things that didn't really happen." "Pero wala ka talagang maalala na nangyari sa'yo last year?" tanong naman ni Andrei. "I don't remember anything aside from the fact that you tortured me with too much paperworks last year, kuya Andrei," she said in annoyance. "Iyon lang ba ang itatanong n'yo? Kung wala na kayong itatanong, aalis na ako." And then she turned to me. "Your appointment with the Corps Commander

ALDRICH FEN ARELLANO'S POV Nawala ang ngiti ni tita Isabelle sa akin. "Ah, iyon ba.." "Kung hindi nyo po ako masasagot, ayos lang po, tita," sabi ko. Hindi ko naman pwedeng ipilit na sabihin niya sa akin dahil personal na bagay 'yon. Saglit na natawa si tita Isabelle sa akin. "Ah hindi naman sa gano'n, ijo. Kaya nga lang ay hindi maalala ni Claire ang nangyari sa kanya, kaya hinyaan ko na noon. Pero iku-kwento ko naman sa'yo kasi mukhang interesado ka sa anak ko." I smiled at tita Isabelle. "I do like Claire," I said. Tumango si tita Isabelle sa akin. "Si Claire ang tipo ng bata na sa palagay ko ay walang makakaaway kaya nagulat ako sa kanya noon. Bigla na lang siyang umuwi dito sa bahay n

ALDRICH FEN ARELLANO'S POV "Ah, naistorbo ko ata kayo," CJ, the Corps Commander, said. He turned his head away and he immediately closed the door. Silence filled the room, as Claire and I stared at each other. But she immediately avoided my gaze. "Aldrich, kailangan mo nang lumayo sa akin," sabi niya. Agad naman akong natauhan kaya mabilis akong lumayo sa kanya. Tinulungan ko rin siyang tumayo, pero pagkatapos no'n ay mabilis niya akong iniwasan. This is so embarrassing, and for me to not get affected, I tried my best to smile at her. "You really messed up today, Claire," I teased. But

CLAIRE JIMENEZ'S POV Before I went to school today, kuya Aldrich reminded me not to drop by the SSG office. Ngayon kasi namin ire-release ang magazine namin kung saan nakalagay ang isang importanteng article tungkol sa kagalang-galang na si Aldrich Fen Arellano. Kailangan kong tumulong sa pag-distribute kaya sinabihan ko na kaagad si Aldrich. He gave his go signal to me, so I didn't reply. The task wasn't really that hectic since I am with kuya Andrei. Ang problema lang namin ay ang mga estudyante na nag-uunahan na makakuha ng magazine na para bang mauubusan sila. Although I find it annoying, kuya Andrei looked pleased, as if it's going according to his plans. "Magandang ideya nga talaga na inilagay natin sa cover is Aldrich," sabi ni

Dinala ako ni Aldrich sa ECHO Office, hindi ko alam kung bakit dito kami nagpunta, pero halata ko sa paghinga niya na galit na galit siya. He loudly banged the door, it even made me startled. Mabilis na bumukas ang pinto at tumambad sa amin si kuya Andrei na kumakain ng pizza. The moment his eyes set on us, he suddenly choked and started coughing. Nahulog pa niya yung hawak niyang pizza at napaatras siya palayo sa amin. He signalled someone to close the door, but no one dared to close the door on the king. At habang hawak pa rin ni Aldrich ang kamay ko ay hinila niya ako papasok sa loob ng ECHO Office. Marami kaagad sa mga members ang nagbulungan nang makita nila kami na magkahawak kamay. Na-conscious tuloy ako kaya pinilit kong alisin ang kamay ko sa pagkakaha

"H-Hindi ko na kaya...tama na...ayaw ko na!" It's already four o'clock in the morning, and I know to myself that I am already exhausted. Pero kahit sobrang pagod na ang katawan ko ay pinilit ko pa rin ang sarili ko na tumakas. Mukhang napansin ako ng kasama ko kaya ang sabi niya, "Claire, what are you doing? Where are you going?" Hindi ko siya sinagot at literal akong gumapang sa sahig, papunta sa pinto, para matakasan ko si Aldrich Fen Arellano. Hindi ko na alintana kung madumihan ang damit pangtulog ko, gusto ko na talagang umalis sa lugar na 'to! Sa isip ko ay minumura ko si kuya Andrei, kasalanan niya lahat ng ito. Sisiguraduhin kong hindi na siya sisikatan ng araw sa Monday! Nagsalita ulit si Aldrich sa likod, "Clai

I said to him, "That is not a question." "But I still want you to tell me. I will ask another question later." Matagal kong tinitigan si Aldrich. Alam ba niya na personal kong hindi inilagay ang impormasyon ng Ragnarok Organization sa BOC ko? I don't know if I should lie, or I should tell him. But I chose the latter. "From the information I got, the Ragnarok Organization was established three years ago." "Hindi two years ago?" tanong ni Aldrich na nakakunot. Umiling ako sa kanya, "Hindi ako nakakuha ng impormasyon tungkol kay Skoll, pero alam ko ang objective nila." Mataman na tumitig si Aldrich sa akin. "At ano naman 'yon, Claire?"

ALDRICH FEN ARELLANO POV"That's impossible," I told her, but she did not argue.She only sighed and took her burger again. She stared at her food, and I know she's hesitating if she should still eat or not. "Sa totoo lang, gulat din ako nung nakita ko ang source ng mga info.""Bakit magkakaroon ng gano'ng inpormasyon si Cassandra? That's unlikely of her."Claire smiled sheepishly, obviously disagreeing to my remarks. "You never truly know a person just because you were with them for a long time. Ako ba in-expect mo na magkakaroon ng maraming impormasyon? Hindi naman, di ba? I think, at first, you see me as kuya Andrei's loyal dog."I didn't correct her even though she thought wrong about my views on her. I always thought of her as Andrei's loyal friend, because she's the only person Andrei respects outside our circle.But she has a point. Maybe I was really wrong about my perception on Cassandra. Maybe Cassandra was really trying to join the Ragnarok Organization. But why? What was

"That's the 15th time you did that, Claire." Sinamaan ko ng tingin si Aldrich nang punahin na naman niya ang paghikab ko. Sa mga ginawa namin buong umaga, hindi ko alam kung paano niya pa nagawang makahanap ng oras para bilangin kung ilang beses akong humikab. "Pwede bang tigilan mo ako?" At sinabayan ko iyon ng pag-irap sa kanya. "Wala ako sa mood na pakinggan ang mga pagpupuna mo. Hwag ngayon na inaantok pa ako." Humikab ako ulit. "That's the 16th time." "Tutal patapos na ang morning classes, kakain muna ako ng lunch," sabi ko sa kanya at nauna na akong maglakad. Mabuti nang iwan siya nang sa ganon ay magkaroon ako ng ginhawa. Mamamatay ako nang maaga sa kanya. Humabol siya sa akin. "Hindi ka sasabay sa akin?" Saglit ko siyang sinulyapan at humikab ulit ako. "Bakit kita sasabayan mag lunch? Close ba tayo?" Mahina siyang tumawa. "According to the rumors, I am your boyfriend." "You are not one to believe rumors, President." "It's Aldrich for you, Claire. And besides, I thi

Sapo ko ang ulo ko habang pinipilit kong kainin ang pagkain na inihanda ni tita Agatha para sa agahan. Pakiramdam ko ay tutumba ako kahit na nakaupo ako. Minabuti ko na lang na ayusin ang aking postura nang sa gano'n ay hindi makapansin si tita Agatha a may nararamdaman akong hindi maganda. Across to where I am sitting, Aldrich only squinted at his breakfast. He then took a cup of coffee beside his plate and took a sip. Matapos no'n ay nabaling ang kanyang tingin sa akin at binigyan ako ng matamis na ngiti. "You don't know how grateful I am for your help during the weekend, Claire," sabi niya sa sinserong boses. But Aldrich being the two-faced, manipulative bastard that he is, I should think otherwise. Nagsalita siyang muli, "I wish you would be able to help me again next time." Next time my ass! Feeling naman niya gagawin namin ito ulit. "Oh I hope next time you would call for kuya Andrei, or better yet take Kaizer with you," I
