[LONG CHAPTER]

Ezra's POV

I woke up screaming.

Even if I wanted to stop myself, I couldn't. Just like how the nightmares won't stop in my unconscious mind. Just like how I feel all the pain I've endured from four years ago.

I was kicking, I was slapping my hands on the air like I would sometimes do to Danilo when he's hitting me so hard.

"Ezra!"

I was crying.

With my eyes tightly closed, I was still crying.

I felt something halt my movements, but I had my own strength to swat it away and continue hitting the beyond air.

I felt myself hitting something, both with my flogging hands and my kicking feet.

I was halted with my movements once again, "Ezra!" This time, the voice grew louder in my earshot.

I opened my eyes at that.

Blurred to clear vision of Ezekiel in front of me conquered my eyes. Fear and concern obvious to his expression. It didn't escape me the red mark on his right cheek.

Therefore, a sign that I hit him.

"Calm down, calm down, hon.." he said slowly to me, like a lullaby, soothing me through his voice.

I was still panting, but my hands and feet stopped moving, the lump in my throat slowly vanishing. The pants reduced, yet my tears continued falling.

"E-Ezekiel.." I called.

Unti-unti ay binitawan na niya ang magkabilang hawak niya sa dalawang palapulsuhan ko, yung isang kamay ay pumipigil kanina sa binti ko.

My hands fell on my thighs.

"You were.. having a nightmares again." He stated worryingly.

Tumango lang ako at niyuko ang ulo, ramdam ko ang pagbagsak ng mga luha ko sa mga kamay ko.

Recently, I started having nightmares again. I had those back in abroad but it was only mild, and it eventually vanished, it's not as worse as right now.

Why? It's because of Danilo again.

It always had to be fucking him.

"Good morning, Ma'am!" Sabay-sabay at sunod-sunod nilang bati sakin nang pumasok ako sa trabaho. I'm wearing my all magenta formal wear as I smiled and greeted them back.

It has been five months since I went back here, there's been no complications naman and walang mairereklamo. It's like it's all back to normal, just what I expected it to be.

I adapted fast enough with the physical operations of the company. I was able to stand by myself again and I felt more free into doing something I want. When we were abroad kasi, I still feel like I can't do much since I'm not in my home country.

But when one goes home, another leaves.

Lumuwas narin si Hugo papuntang London, we communicate through chats and every once in a while, we video call for some updates about each other.

Well, of course we're not always complete. Hindi na naging tulad ng dati sila Amora at Hugo, they're so awkward to each other now and mostly, they avoid talking to one another.

The three of us were dismayed at that every time but there's nothing we can do anymore. We tried. Alegre talked to Hugo, Bri talked to Amora, I talked to both of them, pero wala. This is something that only those two can fix.
