Third person's POV "Anak sigurado ka bang kaya nyo na kayong dalawa lang?" Iris mom, asked worriedly. Ngayon kasi ang lipad ni Kimi at Iris papuntang france.. Iris looked at her Mom softly and smiled. "Mom.. We will be good. Isa pa, kasama naman namin si Tita Janine at si Mr. Rafael" Iris' mom sighed and nodded in agreement. "No! Sasama ako" "Dad!!" Both Kimi and Iris shouted in unison. He still treated them like a child. "Dad, we talked about this already. And you have a lot to do in the company" Iris glared at her father making him hide behind her mom's back. He is still afraid of this daugther of his. Especially when glaring. "But---" "No buts! Mom, we have to go. Take care of yourself today and make sure Dad won't skip exercising everyday" Iris said and kissed her in the cheeks. "Okay. Don't worry" "And you Dad.. Don't skip meals at work, i have your secretary's contact number. Don't ever dare!" Iris said with her serious tone but still kiss him on the cheeks. Kimi who's currently watching them felt all of her hair stood up! She's not really a sweet and clingy person. It's okay to kiss her Mom.. But not her Dad! "Kimi, where's my kiss!" "Ughh Dad! Disgusting!" Kimi went and kiss her Mom and ran out of the house afterwards. Iris and her Mom laugh, making her Dad's face bitter. "Alright.. see you in 2 weeks Mom, Dad" "Take care Anak'" Iris went out and hop on the car. The two couple watch their daughter car until it dissapear in their eyes. "Your daughter has a more expensive car and capable driver than you" "Uhh don't mention it. She just got her granpa's trust fund, she rich. At mas sang ayon akong kumuha ng driver kesa mag drive ng sarili nya" "Me too. However I'm worried" she looked at her husband. "Why?" "I-I don't know. I think it's mother instinct, I feel worried for her. Am i the only one thinking that she changed so much. Although i'm happy, I can't make this strange feeling dissappear." Efraim watch her wife's worried face. "I know. Abandoning her obsesson to Rexell, her closeness to Kimi and to us, her sudden decision about the exchange program. All of these are very confusing to me" Efraim didn't even dare telling his wife about the 10 Billion pesos that she asked him! But he trust Iris. He doesnt care about that money anymore. "I better ask Kimi" she whispered while Efraim nodded in agreement. "Yeah" Inside the car, the two sisters are smiling on the way to the airport. "Iris, can we go to Eifel tower, Louvre Museum, Palace of Versailles and Provence?" Kimi asked excitedly. She heard about these places from her classmates. "We will" Iris answered and smiled at her dotingly. In her past life, Kimi is mentally sick to appreciate these places. She will make sure to let Kimi enjoy her life to the fullest. George Rafael watch these two sisters and felt warmth in his heart. He can see that Iris love her sister so much. Her eyes is much brighter than he ever seen before! After almost an hour of driving, they reached the airport and saw Janine waiting for them. George Rafael, paid for 2 weeks parking so they can use the car back after visiting france. "Iris, Kimi, here! Oh my God , you both looked gorgeous!" Kimi and Iris laugh. Nasanay na silang laging pinupuri ni Aunt Janine. Everytime they meet, she will always say how pretty their face, eyes, hair and even their clothes are! "Thank you, you look very elegant yourself" Iris complimented truthfully. If her mother can be describe as a very virtous beautiful young wife, Janine is a very elegant and sophisticated career woman! Both of them are very beautiful. So beautiful that they can be pick up by any random strangers in the street despite their age. Janine looked at the two sisters with contentment. If she had a son, she will definitely pester Efraim to marry his daughter! "Come on, we will be boarding the plane" The four of them walked through the airport, and almost all the people are stealing glances at them. "Mukhang mga artista no?" "Mas maganda pa kamo sa mga artista!" Iris can't help smiling widely upon hearing them. "Ang laki ng ngiti. Gandang ganda sa sarili?" Kimi scoffed and teased Iris. "Shut up." Iris said and pinch her sister's waist making her yell. "What the hell, Iris?!" "Language!" "Yes, mother.." she scoffed. Janine can't help but laugh at the two. She looked at George and said. "Mr. Rafael, it's nice meeting you again" "I feel the same. Thank you" he answered shortly. Janine just nodded and didn't feel offended. She can feel that this man is not an ordinary person. She can't believe Efraim can find someone like him to work for him and let him guard his daughter. What she didn't know is, this man is not working for Efraim but his daughter ~ Iris. They went to the VIP seat and found their seats. "Iris, ilang hours bago makarating sa France?" "Almost fourteen hours" "What?!?!! That long??" Kimi exclaimed and felt her soul dissipitate in the air. "Unfortunately...." Iris just shook her head. She can't do anything about this. Just when she was about to comfort Kimi. A girl sat beside her seat. "Iris.." Iris eyes' widened in shock! "Lav, you're here!" Iris said in excitement. "Akala ko sa finals ka pa aattend?" "I promise that i will cheer for you.." Iris smiled at her gratefully. In fact, she felt guilty. This oppurtunity should have been Lavender's. "Thank you.. By the way, this is my sister Kimi.. Hey Kimi, this is Lavander, my friend" Kimi and Lavender looked at each other. "Nice to meet you" Kimi said politely "Nice to meet you" Iris laugh. They are too stiff. Their personalities are colliding. Lavender is cold and aloof while Kimi is indifferent and cautious like a cat. Kimi looked at Lavender who wear white and purple dress. She looks cold and very clean. She approved of Iris being friends with her. Mas mabuti ng cold kesa sa mga plastic friends nya. Lavender looked at Kimi silently. She doesn't have similarities with Iris aside from her lips. Kimi has a very shiny and black hair just like hers. However Iris and Kimi are both pretty. Much prettier than her. When Lavender first saw Iris, she was shock. She didn't know that there's another person who's more beautiful than her. She like how Iris eyes shines like gold! A few days ago, her father run a check on Iris without her permission. She was mad at her father. She doesn't want to invade her friend's privacy. Not her only friend! She refused to read it, but her Dad insisted. In the end, she decided to accept it but promise to herself that no matter what she found out, she will remain friends with Iris. She read the document and frowned. This is not the Iris that she met a few days ago! This is wrong! However as she read the documents the more shock she is. "This girl is not simple Lavender." "Dad, she's not a bad person. And she didn't aproach me. I did" "You got me wrong sweetie... I don't forbid you to befriend her. In fact, I want you to get closer" Lavender looked at her Dad in confusion and shock. Because of their identity, they don't trust people easily. Hearing it from her dad feels like a joke. "Continue reading.. I used all my connections to know about this girl. She's very smart!" She frowned and continued reading. She still feel uncomfortable reading it. A few minutes after, sweat started forming her forhead. "This girl, Iris....hides so deeply.. Her investment company shows that there are more than ten foreign shareholders. In fact, these shareholders are just emplty shell. She fully owned this 15 Billion company. In just a span of four months, with an average daily millions of revenue, built it from scratch! No one can rival her money making ability, not in your generation, as well as mine!" Lavender dizzily closed the document and put it in the shredder. She wanted to destroy it. Iris hidden it even to her parents for a reason. "Let us mind our own business Dad" The middle aged man smiled. His eyes shone in cleverness and amusement. He is very curious about this girl. "Sweetie, I'm very proud of you. I want to compliment your vision" "Dad! Don't you ever do this again!" He laugh and ignore her. "Lavender, treasure her" "I know..." Lavender answered with determination. But there's one thing that he decided to keep from her daughter.. He wanted to see how Iris can solve this. Interesting... Lavender sighed and looked at Iris busy flipping the magazine in front of her. How did she do it? "Lav, why are you staring at me?" "Nothing.." Iris raised her eyebrows and continued reading. She can feel that something is troubling her. She became friends with her for how many years. There's no way, she can't notice it. Pero wala syang balak tanungin ito. . . . . "Thank God" Kimi whispered. She felt so tired kahit naka upo lang naman sila. She looked at the other four at napansing parang wala lang ito sa kanila. Why does it feel that, Iris is used to travelling already?? "I already booked a hotel room, let's go" Iris said. "Oh, you did? How thoughtful!" Aunt Janine said making Iris smile.. It's just a matter of phonecall. Five years from now, everything will be just a few clicks away. Internet development will be extremely fast! "Lav, I booked four rooms, Kimi and I will share. Let's go" "Thank you" she replied gratefully. The four of them separated and decided to take a rest. Kimi fell asleep immediately after changing clothes. Iris smiled and help her tuck in the blanket. Watching her sister sleep peacefully make her smile. Iris pulled out her phone and call a number. ring* ring* ring* ring* [Hello?] "It's me Iris" She heard a noise like the phone almost fell from her hands. [M-Miss Iris?! Waaah! Kumusta? Bakit napatawag ka?] "I'm here in France. Let's meet tomorrow Eljie" [Halaa! Nandito ka? Sige sige, namimiss ko na ang pinas. Pero okay lang kasi sobrang nakaka excite dito. Alam mo bang marami akong natutunan nilang mga buwan? Excited na akong magtrabaho sa company Miss Iris! Marami na akong design na nagawa..] Iris chuckled after hearing her excited voice. She's actually very woried about Eljie. She's alone in a foreign country and surely miss her Mom. "Right right.. Don't get too excited, take your time. I called your Mom few days ago. She missed you so much" The call went silent and then heard a few sniffs. [Thank you Miss Iris... Miss ko na si Mama, pero panatag ang loob ko kasi hindi mo sya pababayaan. Thank you for giving me this dream.] Iris shook her head... "Don't thank me. It's your destiny" It's true.. She failed in the fashion industry but manage to find her true dream in Jewelry design. She excelled and became one of the highest paid jewelry designer! "......" Eljie went silent. Kahit ano pang sabihin ni Iris, hindi nito maiaalis na sya ang dahilan kung paano nya nahanap ang passion for jewelry design. She have the confidence to be one of the bests. Her teachers are trying to poach her very early with high salary. Although she didn't refuse, she didn't accept either. From the very beginning, her dream company is Austin Jewelry. Iris said that she's waiting for her! She can't dissapoint her... "Eljie, I'll take a rest.. See you tomorrow" [Okay Miss.. See you] Iris ended the call and smiled. Eljie will become a great person in the future, I just need to accelare her success. She dialed another number.. *ring [Iris?] Irie raised her eyebrow. He picked it up so soon. "Yes.. How are you?" "....." He went silent for a few seconds. [She missed you so much] "How is she? Is she awake?" [Asleep. She's getting better] "That's good to hear Kevin" she heave a sigh. [Thank you so much Iris] Kevin whispered with heavy breathe. Iris can already imagine that Kevin teary eyed with a red nose. "Lee is very cute.." Kevin chuckled on the other side. [She said you're beautiful and looks like a queen] "I know... Sometimes i feel troubled everytime i see myself in the mirror. God must be tired creating such masterpiece like me" [.....] Iris laugh softly. She looked at the view outside overlooking the city lights. Her face and figure reflecting in the glass looks desolate and very breathtaking. "See you next week" [Y-Youre going here??] "Yes.. Don't tell Lee, I will surprise her" [O-Okay.. I , we will wait for you] "Alright.. Good bye" [See you soon, Iris] The call ended. She heave a sigh and pursed her lips. A single tear dropped from her eye. "God.. I saved Lee and Kevin ~ and i'm so happy. I wonder what their future will be..." She whispered. She turned around and close the blinds. She change clothes and went to sleep beside Kimi. . . . A few buildings away from Iris, a man is holding a sniper rifle pointing at her direction. His hands froze. [Milord?] A voice from his earpice was heard. The man didn't answer. He adjusted the scope and watch the girl behind the glass. He pursed his lips and his eyes squinted. "She cried" He whispered.. When her curtains close, he heave a sigh and drop the rifle lazily. [Milord.. The target will be gone] he said confusely. He sat in the sofa and take a sip from the glass and let the wine sit in the mouth for a moment. However his eyes stil looking at Iris direction while swirling the wine in the glass. "Too lazy to kill him.. Just do it" [Consider it done!] He emptied the wine and stood up. [Milord, the target is dead. Any instruction?] He smiled and said "I need to know everything about the girl in the room 1806" [Okay! Consider it~ what?? pardon?" The other person on the line was very confused. "That girl with golden eyes... Who is she?" ["Uhhh room 1806, at the same hotel with the target] "Yes.. I'll give you ten minutes" [Yes milord!] The man on the other side of line sweated. He called a few numbers and waited. In just five minutes he received an email and directly send it to him. [Milord, the information is sent to your email] "Good" The mysterious man read the document and frowned. "I need everything" [M-Milord, she lives in the Philippines. I need at least five hours to get everything..] "Fine. I'll give you four hours" [.....] "Four hours" he repeated. [Yes Milord!] He lay on the bed and frowned. Even if he just close his eyes, he can still see her face. He dialed a number. "It's me, Z" [Hades? Another dream?] "I found her" [Who?] "That person in my dreams" [How is that possible? Did you met her before? Or maybe seen in a photograph or magazines?] "No. I've never been in her country. This is the first time i saw her. You knew my memory" Z went silent... [Hades, i am a psychologist and a psychiatrist. Human brain is incapable of creating new faces. Every person you dream about is either the people you knew or passerbys in the crowd that you've seen before. Or maybe you saw her pictures from a group photos. It's really impossible, Hades] "She's very recognizable" [Really? Is she too ugly or too beautiful] "If she's too ugly, I would'nt call it a dream but a nightmare" [oh? she's beautiful then?] "Yes" [.......] The person on the line was truly shock. Hades has never thought of anyone as beautiful! [I believe you. With a face you describe as beautiful and your incredible memory, i'm sure you will remember if you met her before. But, it's too unrealistic. Do you believe in the term past life?" Hades frowned. "What do you mean" [This is just a funny way of explaining what's happening to you, that can't explain by science. She's maybe someone you knew or met in your past life. How is she in your dreams?] Hades closed his eyes and remember. "I only got a few glimpse, just like a short clip. There was a crowd, and a piano.. She's at the center playing a very lively beautiful piece. She's smiling and very beautiful.The crowd loved her and her music. But......." He frowned and remembered her eyes. He felt pain in his chest like it was being crushed. He doesn't understand. [But, what?] He breathe heavily and answered. "the tune of the piece is lively and happy.... But her eyes looked very sad and painful. She looks like, she's crying inside. Silently hurting" Z went silent and was terribly shock. Hades can create this scene in his dreams? He suddenly feel curious about the girl. [Is that all? Are you there? Did you talk to her?] "No.. Everytime i see her, I was far away. She doesnt know me.." Z frowned and his eyes twitched. [Did you try talking to her?] "I can't talk.." [What else did you see?] "In a party.. She's wearing a beautiful gown and a mask" [How did you know it's her?] Hades smiled subconsciously and answered "her eyes" Z on the other side almost dropped his phone. Is he fucking inlove?? With someone he only met in his dream?!?! [Is there anything else?] Hades purse his lips and clench his fist... "I saw her on the news... She died" Z fell silent. He's getting goosebumps. [How did she died?] "I don't know" [What did you do after?] "Kill" [.......] Z almost cry bitterly. Even in his dreams, he's very murderous.. [Why?] "I don't know.. I killed people because i feel uncomfortable" Z smiled bitterly. [Hades.. Do you know what you need to do?] "What?" He asked [This time, talk to her. Do the things you wished to do for her in your dreams. Maybe after doing it, you will know the answer] Hades nodded and answered. "I will" The call ended. Z massaged his temple.. Hades is not a simple person. His wealth is unimaginable and his power is huge. Killing is just a matter of snapping of fingers to him. I don't know if that girl, is lucky or not.
