ANSH
ILANG ARAW na rinang nakakalipas mula nang sagutin ko si Leo and grabe mas lalo siyangnaging clingy at sweet sa 'kin. Kilig much!
To be honest ay walanamang nagbago sa aming daily routine, its just nadagdagan lang angaming bonding time together and at the same time ay mas nagingprotective siya sa 'kin. Well, 'di ko naman siya masisisi dahil ngalapitin talaga ako nang panganib.
"Baby?"
I looked at Leo whowas staring at me with his blue sparkling eyes.
"Yes, love?" Iresponded.
Then, he shook hishead and just held my hands tight.
Sabi sa inyo angclingy 'di ba?
"Aba, aba, abaaaa!Dito pa talaga kayo naglampungan ah?" Napatayo kami bigla dahil sabiglaang pagsulpot ni Tito sa likod namin.
"Tito naman eh!"Sigaw ko pa Kay Tito na naging dahilan para tawanan niya kamingdalawa ni Leo.
"Good Afternoonpo, Tito Bernard." Magalang na bati ni Leo at saka nag-mano padito.
"Good Afternoondin, Leo. Mukhang ang saya niyo na naman ah kaya maiiwan ko na munakayo dito sa bahay. Ansh? Kapag nagutom naman kayo ay madami namangpagkain sa kusina at ref kaya kumuha na lang kayo."
"Yes, Tito!"Sabay naming sagot ni Leo.
"O s'ya! Mauuna naako at kayo na ang bahala dito ah!" Huling habilin pa ni TitoBernard bago niya kami nginitian at saka lumabas.
I don't know but thesmile that crossed on my uncle's lips really gives me some chills. .. Agh! Ano ba 'tong mga naiisip ko?! Cut the crap.
"Baby? Are youalright?" Tanong ni Leo from behind.
Hindi ko talaga alam kung ano ang isasagot ko. I want to assure him that I am justperfectly fine so that he won't get worried anymore. But at the sametime, I also don't want to lie to him because. . . I love him somuch.
"I-I d-don't know.Hindi ko alam but I feel so nervous over something that I am not sureof." I said in a very worried tone.
Then, Leo wentcloser to me and looked me straight into my eyes. He held my face andkissed me on my forehead.
"Baby? Calm yourmind, nothing will happen. I promise that I will defend you, I willprotect you even if it costs my very own life. I Love you Ansh. . . Ilove you, my one and only baby."
Then, I hugged himtight until I felt comfortable again.
I really feel sofreakin' happy and secure with this man around. . . I love you,Leonardo Augustus Cervano.

HAYST! I really hateit whenever I am seeing Ansh like this. It's like my heart is beingcrushed into pieces. . . D*mn it!
Even though I kepton telling her and assuring her that everything is going to bealright, I know that she is still worried about this uncertain andstrange feeling that she is encountering right now.
Kung p'wede langtalaga ay ako na lang sana ang makaramdam ng lahat ng sakit at lahatng dinaramdam niya ay aakuin ko na lang.
"Baby? Everythinggoi—" before I could even finish what I was about to say nangbiglang may mag-vibrate sa pants ko.
"Wait lang, baby.May nagv-vibrate kasi sa pants ko eh. I'll just check." Nagulat nalang ako sa biglang pagtayo ni Ansh.
"A-ano 'yang nasa bulsa mo? D-Don't tell me na may dala kang— vibrator?!" Malakasna tawa na lang ang isinagot ko sa kaniya.
"What the f*ck areyou talking about? I don't have a f*ckin' vibrator here, its just mygoddamn phone!"
Then, I saw herblush like a red tomato.
As I turned around Itook my phone and I glanced at the screen, I saw a familiar numberthat changed my mood.
"Hello?" I saidwith a very serious and unwelcoming tone.
Then my bodysuddenly froze when I heard a very familiar laugh.
"It has been awhile hasn't it, Cervano?" A chilling and intimidating voicegreeted me.
"Y-you! What doyou want,bastard?!" I tried to contain my anger from this piece ofsh*t!
"Calm down boy. Ijust want to tell you that the clock is ticking and anytime now therecould be a — KABOOM!" he said while laughing hard.
What the f*ck is hetalking about? Could it be that —
"If I were you,Cervano, I would run and save what I can save, because I will takeeverything from you! Your money, properties, everything. . . evenyour beloved girlfriend!"
"D*mn it! Ano angpinagsasabi mo?!" No response.
"I won't tell you,but I'll show you!" He said in a very serious time before droppingoff the line.
D*mn it! I need toact. . . but, where should I start? Who is the target?
"Baby? Sino 'yan?"Nagulat ako sa biglang pagsulpot ni Ansh sa likuran ko.
"Ah. . . Wala,baby. It's just mom and she is asking if I will be back at homebefore dinner." Sorry, but I need to lie and keep the truth fornow.
I need to save himbefore it's too late.

"ANO?!"Galit-galitan kong sabi sa kaniya.
"Hey? Are youmad?" He asked me with a very worried look in his eyes.
"Mad? Bakit namanako magagalit? May ginawa ka bang dapat kong ikagalit?" Iritablekong sagot sa kaniya.
Ewan ko ba kungbakit ang init ng ulo ko ngayon.
"Baby? I need togo now. . . This is a very urgent matter." He said before he kissedme on my lips.
Bago pa akomakasagot ay nakalabas na pala siya nang pinto.
F*ck! Lechugas na'to! Naka-isa pa siya ng halik ah!

BERNARD HERNAEZ'SPOV
9:30 PM
Sa wakas natapos narin akong mag-review nang mga reports dito sa mina-manage kongrestaurant na B.H. CUISINE. Dito ko binubuhos ang lahat ng oras atpera ko dahil balak ko sanang ipamana 'to sa nag-iisa kong pamangkinna si Ansherina.
"Boss! Mauuna napo kami!" Bati ng mga empleyado ko bago sila lumabas upang maka-uwisa kaniya-kaniya nilang mga tahanan.
Hayst! Makapagligpitna nga rin para makauwi na ako.
I immediately stoodup and kept all of the folders and documents that consist of all ofthe data and reports of my restaurant. I also made sure that everysource of water and electricity has been shut to prevent anydisaster.
Pagkatapos komag-ayos ay agad ko namang ni-lock ang mga pinto at hindi lang isanglock kundi 5 lock para na rin sa security ng resto.
As I completedeverything that needed to be accomplished, I walked my way back home.
Yes, naglalakad langako pauwi para iwas polusyon na rin at s'yempre para rin maka-tipidsa gas, ang mahal kaya ng gasolina ngayon!
Sa hindi malamangdahilan at bigla na lamang ako nakaramdam nang kaba, kaba na hindi komawari kung saan ba nanggagaling. I looked around and saw nothing.
"Hayst! Guni-guniko lang ata 'yon. Crazy me!" I whispered to myself and went onwalking.
Habang tumatagal aymas lalo akong nakaramdam ng kaba na nagmumula sa kung saan kaya maslalo ka na lang binilisan ang aking mga lakad. Sa sobrang bilis nanglakad ko ay napasuot na lamang ako sa isang eskinita na wala kangibang makikita kundi purong kadiliman lamang.
"Sh*t! Nasaan baako?" I looked around and saw nothing but darkness. . .Until a manshowed up from the shadows. F*ck! He is also holding a 4-inch silverdagger and tried to slice my face.
Mabuti na lang atnaka-iwas ako.
"S-Sino ka?!"Malakas ngunit kinakabahang sigaw sa kaniya.
"Does it evenmatter when you are about to die, Mr. Hernaez!" He said before heswung his dagger that I successfully dodged. I distanced myself fromthat mob when I heard a . . .
BANG!
F*CK?! WHERE DIDTHAT GUNSHOT COME FROM?
Then, I felt myright leg collapse. D*mn it! I got shot. . . But, by who?
"What took you solong?" The man with a black revolver asked his companion.
"I was about tokill him, I am just having f—" before he had finished hisstatement he shot the man with a dagger right into his skull.
After looking at thedead body he looked at my direction and smirked.
"Who are you andwhat do you want?!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.
He laughed. Helaughed hard just like a man who is possessed by an evil— no,devilish evil spirit.
"This is forhaving you and your b*tchy lil' niece involved to Cervano!"
Leo? Anong kinalamanni Leo?
BANG!
Without any warning,he shot me straight into my skull.
"L-Leo. . . Il-leave Ansh into your hands. . . Goodbye!"
