MATHIAS CARESSED my cheek and kissed my forehead. Umihip ang malakas na hangin dahil sa helicopter na naghihintay sa kanya. I didn’t know there was a helipad on the top of his building. I know he is not going to leave me, he has to go only for tonight. Hindi ko rin alam kung kailan siya babalik, pero alam kong babalik siya.
“Mathias,” the firm tone from the Don, despite the noise from the helicopter, caught my attention.
“I will be back,” he whispered, torn, he couldn’t properly look at my eyes. Dahil alam niyang may namumuong luha sa gilid ng mga mata ko. I want to ask that even only for tonight ay sana hindi muna siya umalis. But I know it is impossible.
Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko at hinalikan bago ako talikuran at nagsimulang maglakad kasama ang mga relative
