Elena sobs as she finished reading the joint letter that her parents made.

The letter is like a list of what her parent wanted to say, but It wont matter, for all she wanted to do now is to feel their embraced like what she saw in her dream. She missed them so much even though she still cannot remember them.

“Mom, Dad.” She whispered with sobs and embrace the photograph that the letter is with.

Ms. Estrella found her like that, for Elena didn’t heard Ms. Estrella knocking on the door multiple times so she decided to check her.

And there, she find Elena crying, while embracing a papers on her chest.

“A-Aunt E-Elle…” she called.

A worry is in Ms. Estrella’s face but it disappears when she saw Elena’s genuine smile even though there’s a tears in her eyes at the same time sadness and longing.

“Is something happened?” she asked to Elena.

Elena nod and replied, “yes.”

Showing the photograph and the letter she’s embracing to Ms. Estrella she told her, “my parents letter.”

Ms. Estrella gasped as she saw the photograph, for the lady there is very much look like Elena, no wonder this is Elena’s family.

A tear fell through her eyes, as she saw the photograph of the beautiful family, at the same time she felt a thud of sadness on how the beautiful family end up.

“I’m sure whenever your parents are right now, they will be happy that their daughter had grown to a well young lady.” Ms. Estrella uttered after a while with a smile.

“I’m not well, Aunt Elle, I am sick.” She said in response of what her Aunt Elle had said.

“Its not your fault to have that—” Ms. Estrella was going to say was cut when they heard a cars stopped infront of the house.

“There are men outside Elena!” Ms. Estrella said alarmed as they saw the men coming out from the cars one by one.

Elena was about to answer when her phone rang and saw that it was Mr. Vaughn.

“Hello.” She said when she accepted the call.

“Did they already arrive?” Mr. Vaughn asked over the phone making Elena confused.

“W-What do you mean?” she asked as she watch the men outside and turn her gaze to a worried Ms. Estrella.

“The men I told you that will guard you.” Mr. Vaughn replied.

“Y-You sent this men in b-black suits?” she asked describing on what the men outside is wearing.

“Yes.” he respond.

“Why too many?” she asked again.

“Raffy is still out there, so we need to be careful,” Mr. Vaughn explained. “We don’t know what his up to nor where he is.”

Elena and Mr. Vaughn’s conversation ended after few things that Mr. Vaughn told her not to do for now that she diligently listened to. Although she is still confuse and has a lot of question in her mind, she can’t bring it up and just decided to go on and just trust Lena.

Elena explained to Ms. Estrella again on why there’s a men outside, and she saw how fear painted on Ms. Estrella’s face. As they went down they saw Dr. Monte waiting for them in the living room with one of the men in suit.

They talked and the man told her that Mr. Vaughn sent them to guard them, like what Mr. Vaugh told her.

After the conversation with the man, Dr. Monte and she, got their session there after Elena apologized about what is happening, that Dr. Monte understands.

“Lena had explained everything to me, she came and told me everything and I told her that I am willing to help.” that’s what  Dr. Monte told her.

For Elena, if possible she doesn’t want to drag these people in danger, but now their here in danger because of her.

“Why can’t I just have a normal life like other people?” she asked to herself while laying on the bed after her session with Dr. Monte.

Elena didn’t notice she dozed off after a long time of thinking.

She didn’t answer call and rejected it, but the caller called again. Dana saw her Mom bulge in her sleep, afraid that she must wake her mother up, she left the room discreetly, and saw the caller called again for the third time.

This time she answered it, but she immediately wish that she must not didn’t answer the call after hearing the voice of the caller.

“Dana,” Raffy said on the other line, “what took you so long to answer call? You useless brat!”

Dana’s body tremble the whole time of the conversation, she wanted to hang up but she can’t, she is scared for Raffy’s threat if she will hang up.

“Do you understand what I’m saying?” Raffy asked.

Dana remained quite and not paying attention the whole duration of the phone call.

“Why aren’t you responding, you brat!” Raffy shouted, that made Dana flinched and nod like her father is seeing her.

“I-I-I u-understand.” she replied stutter.

As soon as the call ended Dana felt her knees making her fall on to her knees. That’s where Elena saw her.

“You okay? Is there anything wrong?” Elena asked making her flinch in surprise but she immediately made herself recovered and stood up.

“Nah, I’m fine don’t worry,” she respond with a smile, “I go now, Mom might be awake now.”

Elena nod in understanding as she told her excuses and hurriedly came back to their room.

While Elena followed her with her gazed worriedly.

“I wonder what is happening, she seems scared.” Elena uttered in the air, and shrug her shoulders after.

“She might be nervous upon seeing the men outside.” she concluded.
