"Ah! What the heck, A'tin?!" inis na singhal ni Sejun at napahawak sa binti niya dahil sa pagsipa sa kaniya ni A'tin.
Nasa labas sila ng club para makapag-usap nang maayos. Hindi pa rin mawari ni A'tin kung bakit naging ganito ang ex-boyfriend niya makalipas lamang ng dalawang taon.
"Ano sa tingin mong ginagawa mo, Paulo? Nakalimutan mo na bang bawal kang pumunta sa ganitong lugar? Pa'no kapag magka-issue ka na naman? Pahihirapan mo na naman si Kuya Dante!"
Napapikit nalang si Sejun sa pag-iingay ni A'tin. Ngayon lang siya nakatagpo ng ganito kaingay na babae. Pero tila ba nababaliw na siya kasi kahit pinapagalitan na siya ng babae ay tumatalon pa rin ang puso niya.
"You're the first woman that has ever nagged at me."
"At ano ulit? Sejun? Hah! Talagang pineke mo pa ang pangalan mo para lang makipaglandian? Ano bang nangyayari sa'yo, Paulo?"
Sejun didn't answer her but only took a step closer to her and said...
"Stop calling me Paulo. Take a good look at my eyes and remember them. This is my stare, the Sejun's look."
It only took four seconds for A'tin to absorbed what the man just said until she burst in laughter.
"Bwahahahaha! Hoy Paulo! W-wait lang. Nakahithit ka ba?"
"I told you, I'm not Paulo! I'm Sejun! Remember this look, A'tin! I don't know when will I ever see you again. So, can you just please remember me?"
"Ano bang pinagsasabi mo—"
A'tin couldn't continue her words as it was interrupted by a guy.
"Kita mo nga naman ang pagkakataon oh."
"Kamusta Sejun? May kasama ka pala. Tamang-tama, siya ang gawin natin premyo. Gaya ng ginawa mo sa babae ko noon."
Sejun's eyes widened upon recognizing the man and his company.
"This is not good. A'tin is here." Sejun thought and pressed his wristwatch three times to activate the emergency alarm.
The alarm will activate the tracker and notify Dante.
"I can't believe I'm calling Dante for the first time." Sejun thought and pulled A'tin to hid her on his back.
"A-anong nangyayari Paulo?" tanong ni A'tin.
"I told you, my name is Sejun. 'Di bale na nga. Umatras ka." bulong ni Sejun na sinunod naman ni A'tin.
"Come on, Steve. Matagal nang nangyari yun. Ilang beses ko bang sasabihin sa'yo na hindi ko inakit ang babae mo? Siya ang unang lumapit sa'kin." Inis na sabi ni Sejun.
"At sa tingin mo mas paniniwalaan kita kesa sa girlfriend ko?" sabi ni Steve at nilingon si A'tin na dahan-dahang umaatras palayo.
"Hoy babae ni Sejun! Alam mo ba ang pinaggagawa ng lalaking 'to? Sa'kin ka nalang sumama. Mas liligaya ka pa." sabi ni Steve at ngumisi.
Little did he know, Sejun was already a few inches away from him to punch his face.
"Ah! Tangina!" inda ni Steve at napahawak sa panga niya.
"You talk too much." Sejun said, making Steve furious.
In just a split-second, punches, kicks, and dodges filled A'tin's sight. She couldn't close her eyes as she was afraid that Sejun might get hurt.
But she couldn't watch them any longer as her vision became blurry as a scene in her memory replays.
It's a man with furious face, hands on air, ready to slap someone.
"Yan na nga lang ang trabaho mo, hindi mo pa magawa! Wala kang kwenta!"
A'tin began to shake in fear because of this vision. Her chest began to ache with palpitating heartbeat and difficulty in breathing. Her trauma is being triggered upon witnessing the fighting scene.
"T-tama na po. H-hindi k-ko sinasadya." A'tin started to utter while trembling. She gripped her chest hard while crying silently.
Meanwhile, as Sejun was still busy fighting, he took a glance at A'tin and saw her condition.
"A'tin...she's crying."
Adrenaline rush hits him, making him eager to finish the fight soonest. With last punch and heavy breath, he rushed towards A'tin who is currently panting in breath.
"T-tama na po. H-hindi ko s-sinasadya."
These words are what only comes out from A'tin's mouth, making Sejun panicked.
"A'tin...what's happening? Did you get hurt?" Sejun asked.
A'tin glanced at Sejun with tears in her eyes. Sejun was only left speechless.
"H-hindi ko po s-sinasadya." A'tin weakly said and lost her consciousness.
Just as when he was about to caress the woman to comfort her, his head began to ache.
"Paulo...the coward. He wants to come out?!" Sejun thought in surprise.
It has never occurred to him where Paulo voluntarily wanted to get out. Paulo always come out when Sejun falls asleep. This is the first time that he wants to barged his way out.
"Is A'tin your trigger, Paulo?" Sejun finally realized.
The sirens of the police cars and ambulance linger the area. In just a minute, the scene was surrounded by the emergency team summoned by Dante.
"Sir Paulo!" Dante yelled upon seeing the two.
"Dante is here." Sejun thought and glanced at A'tin.
"Sir P-paulo, ano pong nangyari sa inyo? T-teka...hindi ikaw si---" gulat na tanong ni Dante nang makita ang mukha ng lalaki na puro sugat at pasa.
"D-dante...ugh..." Sejun said while gripping his aching head.
"Sir Sejun, alam kong ikaw yan. Andito na po ang ambulansya." sabi ni Dante at sinenyasan ang rescue team. Pero nagitla siya nang hinawakan ni Sejun ang braso niya.
"U-unahin mo siya, Dante." sabi ni Sejun at itinuro si A'tin.
Nagtataka man pero tango lang ang naisagot ni Dante. Sinenyasan niya ang rescue team na unahin ang babae.
"Y-you're now safe, love of my life."
