Tyler's POV

Ilang buwan na rin ang nakalilipas pagkatapos ng nangyari sa bahay. I've been searching for Thena, she'll always be my best friend. At hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin napapawi ang galit ko sa babaeng yun. My brother almost killed her kaya kinasuhan nila si Tyr but they weren't able to put him to jail at baliktad pa ang nangyari. My brother is an infamous  lawyer and he's a royalty kaya walang kahit na sinong pwedeng bumangga sa kanya.

We stopped searching for Thena already. Since its been two weeks since we found her remains in the basement of an abandoned house. My brother changed afterwards, kung noon nakakausap naman namin ni Lolo at nakikipagkulitan kahit papano, ngayon ni hindi na namin nakikita at nakakausap. Ang tahimik na niya at trabaho nalang ang pinagkakaabalahan. He make sure everyday that the people who hurt Thena suffered. He started playing dirty works to slowly punish them for what they did. Even my grandpa helped my brother. He cut everything with Thena's family even his investments.

That family is still successful and they went through their life proudly introducing their real apo. And I can't count how many TV's I had destroyed every single time I see their faces on screen. Paano nila nagagawang ngumiti ng may nasira silang buhay? They even sold my best friend back to her abusers. How could they be heartless and act upright and righteous. How dare them.

Si Kuya Chrystian naman wala akong balita sa kanya. All I know is that after that night, he left their home and never returned leaving his family in grave sadness. He just disappeared like he never existed. His accounts and even his identity was immediately erased from the system. It's like he never existed at all.

I missed the old times where we can laugh and be happy genuinely. Lagi Kong nakikikita ang mukha ng best friend ko, Minsan naririnig ko siyang tumatawa. But what can we do? Life is so short and it hurts me that we didn't spend a lot of times together. If only I knew life would take her away from me.

Tyr's POV

"Fuck! Just find her. And don't you dare stop or else I will kill you!" Inis na saad ko sa private investigators. I know na may nakitang bangkay ni Thena but I refuse to believe na patay na siya. I know she's alive, kahit pa ilang beses Kong bisitahin ang puntod niya hindi ko maramdaman na Patay na siya. I don't know if it's just my heart betraying my mind. Pero hindi ako titigil. I feel that she's alive at hindi ako titigil na maghanap.

Napabuntong hininga ako ng maramdaman ko ulit ang luhang namumuo sa mata ko. Sa araw araw na ginawa ng Diyos mula ng mawala siya naging mahina ako pag walang ibang taong nakakakita. She held my heart in the palm of her hands and took it away from me when she disappeared.

Napatingin ako sa isang dokumentong nagbibingkis sa aming dalawa. This might be a mistake to some but I will never treat this as a spur of the moment.

"I will never stop loving you , my Thena. Hahanapin kita hanggang makita kita ulit. Hindi man tayo binigyan ng panahong magsama ng matagal alam kong totoo ang pagmamahal ko sa iyo. I've never felt this way with the women I dated before you. Kaya hindi ako titigil Thena. Hinding Hindi."
