How could he? Just because that's an order they have to keep quiet? What if they knew who is guilty of a crime, but their General told them that they're not allowed to give any statement so they don't? What a coward? 

It's been three days, and I don't have any information about that massacre. If I really know who is behind this massacre, I will behead them.

"Anong nangyari sa sundalo mo? Namatay naba sa gyera?" Jevi asked, sarcastically. 

"Isa pa yun," I said and sighed. "All of a sudden we had a fight."

"Oh, you are both not in a relationship yet, but you fought already. May progress, " he said, teasing me.

"Why don't you shut your mouth?" I asked in irritation. 

He just smiled. "Why don't you force that soldier to talk, or lure him?"

I look at him. "What's wrong with you and your mind?" I asked in disbelief.  

"Biro lang. Pero malay mo mapilit mo siya? Hindi lang scoop meroon ka .... Baka pati asawa," pahina nang pahina niyang sabi.

I glared at him. "You know what, Jevi? Take care of your life, I'm going home."

He panicked. "Are you going home? But we haven't started anything yet!"

"I'm really tired. I promise to keep up tomorrow." 

He suddenly smiled as if he knew what I'm going to do. "Pupunta ka sa kaniya 'no?"

I glared at him. "What the freak? Pinagsasabi mo?" I asked, annoyed, and went home immediately.

I hadn't even reached our subdivision, when I immediately saw a man standing while talking on a cell phone.

"Dred?" I asked myself weakly. 

I couldn't believe looking at him. It seems that all the clothes suit him, and all the corners or angles of his face shouts for perfection. 

I drove towards him, and stopped. Making him to look at me. He ended the call, and stared at me. 

"Need a ride?" I asked, then he suddenly laughed a little. What's funny?

"May kapalit?" He asked, meaningfully. "Nice to see you again." 

"Yeah, nice to see you as well." Hindi niya'ko sinagot, kaya nagsalita pa'ko. "So ahm ... Do you need a ride?"

He slowly smiled, while looking at me. "Cute mo——"

"You'll get in or not?" I asked, losing my patience. 

He smiled. "Hindi ako sanay na hindi ako yung nagda-drive," he said simply.

I couldn't believe looking at him, but I know I did something wrong to him, because I insulted his work first. I actually thought I would never see him again. 

I sighed. "Okay," I said, and moved to the passenger seat. He smiled and got in the car. 

He just looked at me and smiled. He roamed around his eyes. "Wow, this car is beautiful," he praised, but I don't see anything beautiful in my eyes aside from him. 

What?

"How many cars do you drive?" I asked, while he's wearing his seatbelt. He didn't answer me, so I stayed silent. 

I can't stand the silence that surrounds us both. I was wondering if I should apologize for what I did or if I should talk to him about Rmall. 

"Ahm, Dred," I began. He looked at me for a second, then he stared back at the road. "I would like to apologize for what I said when we fought … I know I'm very insensitive, and whatever comes out of my mouth. Napressure lang ako sa work, and sa lahat .... And I have piled up my pressure on your work. I'm so sorry," I said with full sincerity.
