Chapter 17 (Shot)

Start from the beginning
                                    

Napangiti ako at hinaplos ko ang tyan ko. Siya namang pagbukas ng pintuan. Pumasok doon sila Kuyang Holdaper at Eros.

"Panira. Schedule ko ngayon eh. Mapapel amp." dinig kong bulong ni Devin. Napailing nalang ako habang nakangiti.

"Nakaisip ka na ng ipapangalan mo sa kanila?" nakangiting tanong ni Kuyang Holdaper. Tumango naman ako at mas lumaki ang ngiti ng maalala ang ipapangalan ko sa kanila.

"Can we know what it is?" nakangiti at excited din na tanong ni Devin.

"Kenelm Helios Kingston Lim and Zianara Selene Kingston Lim." nakangiting sabi ko.

"Hmm, interesting. Bakit gano'n ang ipinangalan mo sa kanila?" tanong ni Eros. Mas lalo naman akong napangiti.

"Kenelm means defends the family. Once Allistair and I are now gone, he'll be the defendor of the family. Helios means sun." nakangiting sabi ko.

"Zianara came from the word 'Zahara' and 'Allistair'. I combined our name. Selene means moon." pagpapatuloy ko.

"I want them to be each other's light and dark. There will be no light if there's no dark and there will be no dark if there's no light. I want them to be each other's weakness and at the same time each other's strength. I want them to hold to each other dahil ang dugo namin ni Allistair ang nananalaytay sa kanila." paliwanag ko.

"Nice. I thought you just pick some random names. It's cool that behind those names, there are meanings behind it." puri ni Devin.

"I love it. Ang ganda." nakangiting sabi ni Eros.

"Can't wait to see our angels." nakangiting sabi ni Kuyang Holdaper.

Ngumiti rin ako sa kanila.

'I'm so lucky to have them.'

Allistair's P.O.V
It's been months and it feels like fuck. No calls. No texts. No messages. No talks.

I didn't know how I manage to survive this.

I kept on making excuses so Angeline and I won't get married. As much as possible, I don't want to hurt Rain's feelings when she came back. She have been through a lot, and that's enough to handle.

I hope she'll came back here as soon as possible, nawawalan na ako ng mga rason. Sooner or later, I don't have any choice but to marry Angeline or else, our sacrifices would be in no use.

"Now is the time." Melissa said in a serious tone.

We are now here on Shaika Building. One of their base.

They said that Rain and the other's plan was to take down their bases abroad. I understand why they did that especially Rain. Rain don't want to be a burden on our plans, that's why she decided to leave.

So we decided to take down their bases here in the Philippines one by one. We want to end this as soon as possible. We want to live in peace again.

Hinigpitan ko ang hawak sa baril ko habang nakatingin sa building na lulusubin na namin maya maya lang.

[All clear?] I heard Andrew asked on the earpiece.
