{Trixie's PoV}
                          
Pumasok kami sa office ni Rick ng maaga, balak namin pumunta ng Italy para hanapin si Pauline kaya kailangan namin matapos lahat ng meetings
                          
"Ma'am Trixie, may gusto po kumausap sainyo" sabi ng secretary ko
                          
"may appointment ba?"
                          
"wala po, pero si Ms.Jane po kasi ang nag hahanap sainyo"
                          
when I heard Jane's name I immediately stopped what I'm doing "sige papasukin mo"
                          
lumabas ang secretary ko at pumasok naman si Jane 
                          
"tita hindi po ako mag tatagal,I just want to say sorry about what happened--"
                          
"no Jane, it's okay" sabi ko at lumapit sakanya "you're right, napabayaannamin si Pauline dahil kay Tracy, thank you for making me realize that"
                          
"tita baka po kasi isipin niyo na mali ang pag papalaki niya kay Tracy"
                          
"ayaw ko man isipin Jane, pero mukhang nagkamali nga ako, hayaan mo, me and your tito Rick willgo to Italy ibabalik namin si Pauline dito"
                          
"tita I think you don't need to do that"
                          
kumunot ang noo ko sa sinabi niya "why?"
                          
she reached for her phone and she let me open their conversation
                          
"u-uuwi na siya?"
                          
"iyon po ang sabi niya tita"
                          
I'm so happy, I hugged Jane and accedentally I swipe up their conversation, I read a few text
                          
'she's concern about us'
                          
"sinabi niya ba kung kailan siya uuwi?" I asked after returning her phone
                          
"wala po siyang sinabi na exact date, pero next week daw po, anytime soon she'll be home"
                          
"thank you Jane, thank you for protecting my daughter"
                          
"she deserves to bw protected tita, sige po I'll go ahead"
                          
nakahinga ako ng maluwag, nung maka alis si Jane sobrang laki ng ngiti ko pumunta ako sa office ng asawa ko para ipaalam ang balita, and like me he's very happy
                          
{Tracy's PoV}
                          
pagkatapos ng bagyo agad akong pumunta sa bahay nina Kyla para makapunta sa Italy, mas mapapadali kasi kung sasama ako sakanya at hindi pa malalaman nina mommy na umalis ako ng bansa
                          
"ready ka na ba makita ulit ang kapatid mo?"  she asked
                          
I bitterly smiled and let out a sigh "yeah, malaki ang kasalanan ko and I don't think she'll forgive me easily"
                          
binaba ko ang tingin ko, natatakot ako na makita siya ulit, natatakot ako baka masaktan ko siya ulit pero mas masasaktan ko siya kung hindi ako mag papaliwanag
                          
Kyla touched my shoulder "she'll forgive you,  she's your sister and nothing could change that"
                          
tumango ako at sinundan si Kyla papasok sa eroplano, I rested my back and I thank God for giving me a understanding and trustworthy friend
                          
Kyla never let me down, yes she correct my mistakes, she never tolerated me that's why I love her so much, she's always a call away, actually Kyla is more like a sister to me
                          
I let out a sigh and looked outside, I must admit it I miss Pauline, I'm ready to accept her slaps, her judgements I'm ready to face her anger
                          
I touched my cheek where Jane slapped me, medyo masakit parin kahit ilang araw na ang nakalipas
                          
'I deserve more than this'
                          
pag land namin sa Italy hindi ko alam paano mag uumpisa sa pag hahanap, dang it
                          
"hey Tracy, nakausap ko ang airlines na niliparan ni Tracy, sumakay ka sa taxi na susundo sayo dadalhin ka non papunta kay Pauline"
                          
"ako? bakit ako lang?"
                          
"may pupuntahan ako, may inutos si daddy don't worry sa loob lang naman ng Italy ang pupuntahan ko, be safe okay?"
                          
"yeah sure, take care"
                          
kumaway siya saakin and she left me, oag labas ko ng airport a man holding a paper with my name written in it caught my attention, lumapit ako sakanya and he looked at me 
                          
"Ms. Gonzales"
                          
"yes that's me"
                          
"allons-nous madame"
                          
"Oui"
                          
dinala niya ako sa isang hotel, pero hindi sa RTG
                          
'she's staying here kahit may RTG naman dito?'
                          
"Merci"
                          
"mon plaisir madame"
                          
umalis ang driver, papasok na sana ako when I saw someone, anong ginagawa niya dito??
                          
tumingin ako ng mabuti at kumurap kurap pa,I think my eyes are playing a game with me, impossible naman na siya iyon
                          
I rub my eyes to make sure that I'm not imagining things, kunuha ko lahat ng gamit ko at lumapit sakanya
                          
'fuck totoo nga nandito siya'
                          
"Tracy?"
                          
"bakit ka nandito?"
                          
"what? bakit masama na ba pumunta sa Italy?"
                          
"I mean anong ginagawa mo dito?"
                          
"helping someone"
                          
"someone?"
                          
"yes"
                          
{Kenneth/Lance's PoV}
                          
Palabas na ako ng  hotel dahil tumawag ang head ng airlines na may dumatibg  daw na private plane, I didn't expect someone, Tracy approached me and I'm surprised
                          
"kuya sinong kausap mo?" sabay kaming napalingon kay Lester
                          
Tracy gave me a what-the-fuck look "Tracy?"
                          
"k-kuya? kailan mo pa naging kuya si Kenneth?"
                          
"looks like I need to tell the whole story for the third time"
                          
"bakit hindi mo nalang ikwento sa loob ng hotel room kuya? dito pa talaga kayo sa lobby nag usap"
                          
"wait I think I don't have time for that" sabi ni Tracy "where is she?"
                          
"where is who?" I asked, I know she's looking for Pauline, it's just that I miss her voice 
                          
"sino pa ba hahanapin ko Kenneth? anino ko? malamang yung kapatid ko alangan naman ikaw ang hanapin ko" she said and rolled her eyes
                          
'I miss her, I miss talking to her'
                          
"come, I'll take you to her" Lester coldly said and walked away 
                          
I helped her with her stuff and we entered the elevator and walked a bit then entered Pauline's room
                          
"you're back? ang bilis naman--"
                          
Pauline's line was cut, Tracy hugged her she was shocked  to see her sister again
                          
"sorry Pau, sorry, I'm really sorry" Tracy said and by the tone of her voice it's obvious the she's crying
                          
"it's okay" Pauline said
                          
"Pau sorry, I ruined everything, I'm really really sorry"
                          
"it's okay ate, I forgive you"
                          
my heart ache, and it hurts humawak ako kay Lester habang mahinang pinapalo ang dibdib ko
                          
"kuya? what happened?"
                          
"I-I can't breathe" I said and everything turned black
