"I don't know. But I know where to get more information from."

"Where?" Nagpintog ang mga tenga ko sa narinig.

"Do you remember the file?"

Yung file nanaman.

Sino ba kasi ang gumawa ng file na iyon at palaging parang hanap ng tao na nakapaligid saakin?

"It's in there?"

At ano ang nakalagay doon?

"Yes."

"How much are we talking about?"

"Pretty much all of the past?"

It was mentioned again.

But what past are they talking about?

"What do you mean, Ivan?"

"Fuck, I need the file back."

"Hey, I thought no cursing?"

"However... simula noong nakalimot ako.. biglang nawala iyong file. It's good I didn't forget everything."

I felt the car stopped moving.

Huh?

Bakit huminto si Ivan?

I didn't realize.

We have arrived.

Ate Hina

How are you these days?

I am very stress
I want to go home
😭

Dear, you should have seen this coming.
We have talked about this so many times whenever you pick up new missions.

And yet here I am.
Clearly, you didn't get an A on that persuasive essay.

Are you still hanging out with that Shikaiken guy?

Ivan?

First name basis na?
Taray. Layuan mo.
Masama ang hanging dala ng mga lalake.

You broke up with your boy—

End

Ivan and Izeiah both stared at the broken phone fallen on the ground.

It took a good four seconds for it to sink in that the phone was broken. They looked up and stared at each other.

"You broke my phone." Izeiah said.

"I was aiming for a fly." Ivan responded cooly.

"Bullshit." She cursed

"Language."

——

At some point, Ivan and Izeiah, managed to reach an accord.
