"Huwag na huwag kang magkakamali nang galaw dahil isang kalabit ko lang nito... babawiin ko ang buhay mo!" Banta ni Berenice sa akin. Ramdam na ramdam ko rin ang panginginig ng kamay niya habang mahigpit na nakapulupot ang kaniyang kamay sa aking leeg.

She sounds like a crazy person. She sounds like a psychopath ready to kill whoever she laid her eyes on. I just stayed still between her arms and calmly think for a possible way to snatch her gun before pinning her down the floor.

Alam kong hindi iyon magiging madali dahil sa nasa gilid ng noo ko ang baril niya.

May malaking posibilidad na kung susubukan kong kunin ang baril niya at pigilan siya ay makalabit niya ang gatilyo. At kung hindi man ako ang matamaan, baka sa ibang tao pa mangyari iyon, mahirap na.

Pansin kong Sig Sauer 9mm ang gamit niyang baril. Maaaring nasa tatlo o dalawang bala lang ang laman no'n dahil sa narinig kong pagkalas niya kanina. Kailangan kong gumawa ng paraan para alisin ang baril sa kamay niya ng walang palya.

I need to calmed her down first too.

I gulped hard. "B-Berenice... pag-usapan natin 'to sa ibang paraan—"

"Shut up! Shut the fuck up!" She screamed through my ears. Pansamantala akong nabingi dahil sa sobrang lakas ng pagkakasigaw niya.

Tiim bagang at pikit mata akong napatigil. Nang dumilat ako ay napatitig ako kay Chrispher. He's fuming so badly.

"Berry..." Chrispher called her in a soft manner.

"You!" Berenice started to trembling desperately. "You betrayed me! You're so unfair Chrispher! You're so unfair!

"Berenice please!" Agad na nagbago ang ekspresyon ni Chrispher. Mayroong inis, lungkot, poot at pag-aalala sa mukha niya pero mas nangibabaw ang pagsusumamo doon. "We've already talk about this. Sinabi ko na sa'yo ang lahat lahat. I know it's not easy for both of us but I still choose to forgive your Dad and your family despite of those horrible things that your family did to us. And I also told you about what I feel towards you. I thought we already made things clear! Why are you doing this now?!"

"C-chrispher!" Berenice cried stubbornly. "W-why can't you just give me a chance? I've done so many things just for you. I-I'm sure you already build feelings for me... right? A-ako na lang... Give me a chance. Just... just this once! Just give a week! I-if it doesn't work..." She sobbed. "Lalayuan na kita... I will leave you. H-hindi na ako mangingialam."
