"Ibang iba na talaga ngayon, ano? Ilang taon ba akong nakalibing..." inayos ni Rafael ang pagkatupi ng polo sa kanyang braso. Mabilis ko syang nilapitan para mas maayos iyon ng mabuti. Jett and Thalia stayed from where they are.

Wala ni isa sa kanila ang nangahas na gumalaw simula nang makapasok sa loob ng bahay si Rafael.

"Five hundred and nineteen years." Mahinang sabi ko dahil maging ako ay hindi padin makapaniwala.

How is he alive? I wanted to ask a lot of questions but the first thing I did when he went near me was to hug him tight!

At ngayon ay ang daming katanungang naglalaro sa isipan ko ang kaso ay hindi padin ako lubusang makapaniwala na nakatayo sya sa harapan ko.

Tumango sya sa akin tsaka nya binalingan ang dalawang kasama ko na hindi padin gumagalaw.

"I'm sorry we weren't properly introduced. I'm Rafael Arevalo, you're?" Pormal na tanong nya. Huminga ako ng malalim.

"Jett and...Thalia, don't you remember? She's from 1516." Ako na ang sumagot sa kanya. The two are too frighten. Of course, lalo na si Jett, he knows what can I do and now there's two original standing in front of him.

I must admit, I'm kind of frightened too...si Justin lang ang may alam kong nasaan ang katawan nya, it's very possible that it was Justin who awakened him. And now he's here, why? Because of Justin's command?

"I remember her. You're Justin's girl before, right? Before my sister here...killed him.." aniya. Mabilis akong umatras kasabay ng paglunok ko pagkatapos nyang sabihin yan. Thalia stood beside me. Ngumisi si Rafael sa akin.

"Did he awakened you to take a revenge on me?" Mabilis na kumunot ang noo nya ng itanong ko iyan.

"Who awakened me?" Takang tanong nya. Ako naman ang nagkunot ng noo ngayon.

"Justin." Si Thalia ang sumagot.

"Justin is alive?" Gulat akong binalingan ni Rafael. My lips parted a bit because of what he just asked.

"H-He isn't the one who awakened you?" Gulat na tanong ko. His eyebrows forrowed. Nangalumbaba sya marahil ay nagtataka sa nangyayari.

Umupo sya sa sofa, I immediately went beside him.

"Rafael, hindi si Justin ang gumising sa'yo?" I again asked him. His jaw clenched. Nagkatinginan kami.

"I'm afraid he's not the one who awakened me, Ysabel. And what revenge?" Pinilig nya ang kanyang ulo. "You think I came here fresh from the ground just to take a revenge on you? Why will I do that?" Bahagya nyang hinaplos ang pisngi ko. I closed my eyes for a bit before meeting his eyes again.

"Kong ganon ay sino?" Nagawa ko pading itanong. That means...he's not here because he's in Justin's side. He's here because he wanted to see me.

Binitiwan nya ang pisngi ko bago nagsalita.

"Justin burried me, Cole and Tristan...that's what you know. And yes he did. Ngunit hindi sa iisang lugar. Iba-iba, Ysabel. He all burried us in the different part of the ocean, for what reason? I don't know." Hinaplos nya ang aking kamay. "He didn't burried us like the ordinary burrials in the ground. He burried us in the ocean floor."
