"I am giving this volume comics to Aaron. I am certain that he will like it!" Chichai smiles as she imagines Aaron's reaction at the moment she gives it to him.

She is about to arrive at the outside of the Entrance Gate of Einstein High School when hears a conversation of familiar voices inside it. She stops and peeks because of curiosity to whoever the persons are.

"You're bad..." a girl's voice started the conversation.

"Lilia?" she says when she confirmed the owner of girl's voice.

"What are you talking about?" a man's voice asked.

Chichai wants to look for the man's face because his voice seems familiar.

"Oh, come on! I know you are just using her to make me jealous..." Lilia replied.

Chichai witnesses the intimate behavior of Lilia towards the man. She saw Lilia's finger moving at his chest seductively.

Chichai looks away, shakes her head and talks to herself. "This is bad. I witnessed her slut version this time". She goes to go her classroom and hopes that Aaron is inside but he is nowhere to be found.

She sits at Aaron's chair and blushes when she thinks of a way on how to confess to him. They are childhood best friends. It started when she was bullied by other children in the playground. Aaron was the only one who defended her from bullies, even ended up being beaten.

"From now on, we are friends" they both said to each other with a pinky swear.

She comes back to her senses when she heard a footstep. It stopped at the doorway.

Chichai feels excited. She is waiting for Aaron but doesn't expect him to arrive. She decides to put the comics magazine, wrapped in a gift box, on his desks and hides at the back of the doorway.

She looks at the man figure through the sideway hole of the door. She saw Aaron.

She is about to go out in order to surprise him but an arms suddenly wrapped around him. She was stoned.

She looks at the arms and carefully runs her eyes to the owner of it.

"L...Lilia?" she says when she confirmed the owner.

She also witnessed Aaron's reactions towards Lilia's embraced. He smiles and laughs, even kisses her forehead.

She doesn't know what to do. She cries but tries herself not to cause any sound.

They both come inside the classroom and notice a gift while she observes on them behind the door.

"Huh! Just who the heck give you this gift?" Lilia sounds jealous. She also notice a piece of envelope with it and immediately knows who the owner is.

"Chichai?" Lilia says. She moves up her right eye brows. "The nerve..." she said but Aaron cut of what she is about to say.

"You look so jealous.." Aaron flicks her forehead, like teasing her.

"Shut up! I'm not jealous!" she replied, but what she said was the opposite of what she felt.

"Babe..." Aaron wraps his armn around her hips.

"We are just childhood friends.." she emphasized the word Childhood friends on her.

"Then, why the heck is she giving you a gift?" Lilia asked.

Aaron smiles. "It is my 16the birthday. Of course, she will give me gift. Every year, we exchange gifts." he replied.

This made Lilia look fiercely to Aaron's eyes. "Childhood friends, huh?"she smirked. "Let's see, what's inside it" and decided to open the gift.

On the other hand, Chichai wants to take back the gift because inside it, will surely changes everything. Specially, he already have a girlfriend. But, its too late. Lilia already know what's inside it.

There is a photo album inside it with a comic magazine. Lilia flips and reads every page. Every page contains their pictures when they were in kindergarten until now with confessions of what she feels towards him.

"Childhood friend?!" Lilia is mad. Aaron gets the photo album and reads it. He, finally, knows her feelings towards him.

"Aaron! If you really love me, you should cut your ties with her!" she shouted at him. "I am your girlfriend and she's just nothing but a best friend!" she continues.

"If you don't cut ties with her..."

"...let's break up then!" she shouted at him.

Aaron couldn't speak.

"Yes...or...No?" Lilia makes him choose between them.

Aaron sighs and puts back the photo album and comic magazine inside the gift box.

"Don't worry. I will cut ties with her" Aaron said in a cold voice. Then, Lilia hugs him tightly "Good. You're mine only" she said to him like her possession.

"Then, do me a favor.."

" What is it?" he asked and seems know what she is about to say.

"Burn. That. Gift. Box. " she whispered to him.

Aaron immediately get the box and holds Lilia's hand to go somewhere.

Chichai hears everything. Everything happens so sudden. She couldn't believe that he followed what she says.

She suddenly remember that they both have the gift box. She ran to look for them in order to take back the gift box. Then, she hears the sound of fire behind the storage room of Athlete's house building.

She peeks and sees that Aaron burns the gift box in the burning drum

"No!" she shouted and decided to get the gift box on the burning drum.

Unfortunately, the heat of fire made her step back and it burnt a part of her arm and made her sit on the ground. She cried, not because of pain but because Aaron burnt the gift box that she earned from sweat.

"Look how pathetic you are" Lilia said with a smirked.

Aaron is about to help Chichai because of the burnt but Lilia stops him.

"Leave her alone. Let's go now! The athletes are about to go on this way" she said and forced Aaron to go.

She cries and cries.

Meanwhile, earlier, they didn't notice that a gas bottle is near the burning drum. The heat of the fire caused the gas bottle to crack and the liquid flows down to the burning drum.

Chichai suddenly feels something wrong. She looks behind the burning drum. There are pile of gas bottle. She stands up but forgets that her right arm has burnt which couldn't make her stands up.

"HELP!.." she starts to shout for help while the liquid is near the burning drum

"HELP ME!!!!" she shouted very loudly.

After five minutes, a blast and blaze goes up.

These make the school alarms the students.

"Listen! Don't panic! All students go out of the school building! We are currently calling the Fire Station to ease the fire! Please don't go near the school building" the Principal announced.

Every students go out of the school building.

Meanwhile, before the commotions, Aaron and Lilia are going out of the school for lunch.

On exactly two o'clock in the afternoon, Aaron and Lilia were stoned of what happened to the school building.

Lilia grabbed one student girl on her collar to ask what happened. "There was a sudden blast behind the school building. They found out that it came from behind the Athlete's house building. They found out that the someone deliberately caused a fire which resulted to one student to be burnt alive. They couldn't identify the who she is but her ID was in the ground" the girl said as she stuttered.

"What....d-did..y-you...say?" Aaron asked while his face turned pale.

"The Athle---" the girl is about to answered but Aaron cut it.

"I mean, the latter!" he shouted.

"A....girl was...burnt alive" the girl stuttered because of panic and fear.

Aaron runs towards that place and shocked of the outcome. The athlete's house building is no longer on the ground but turn into ashes.

"Aaron! Aaron! Aaron!" someone shouted his name but seems like he didn't hear it.

He was stoned like glued below his foot. He cannot move a bit while Lilia is shocked of what she saw.

Suddenly, someone's hand is on his shoulder. He suddenly looked back while hoping for someone but it is not that person.

"Aaron, where the heck were you?!" Roel asked with anger.

"Wh-Who was the girl?" he asked subconsciously.

Roel looked away and he knew of who he meant. Then, Aaron cried loudly on the ground.

He cried out loud. He couldn't believe that he killed her on his own hand, as what he believed.

"Aaron! What are you crying for?" Roel asked and reached his hand on him.

"She's in the Operating Room of Osmeña Hospital" he added.

This made him stop crying and immediately runs.

After ten minutes, he arrived at the hospital. He saw her family and teachers. The nurses are going in and out of the Emergency room like something bad happened.

"Aaron, do you know...what happened?" Chichai's mother asked him while her tears are flowing down to her cheeks and her eyes swelled. You can say that she's crying then and now.

"Sorry...." he said as his tears flow down. He couldn't say what happened.

"What exactly happened?!" she asked with anger. "It looks like you know something!" she shouted at him. "If she dies, I couldn't forgive you!" she added.

At the corner, Lilia is crying. "I-I don't know, I-It turned out like this" she said in her mind as she trembled.

The doctors came out of the Operating Room. There are five of them. The one in the middle shakes his head and walks away.

All of them, stoned and cried.

They are waiting for her corpse to be out of the Operating Room.

Suddenly, a nurse came out in sweat.

"Doctor! The patient! She's moving!" she shouted in disbelief.

They all look at the nurse. She's sweating like she saw a ghost.

"Impossible! Her body is burnt! In her state, she couldn't survive such tragedy!" the Doctor shouted.

"But..Doctor, please look for yourself" she said.

Her family, teachers and doctors came in all together.

They saw her body. Her family, teachers and friends are shocked of her appearance. Her body is full of burnt!

They heard her groaned and wanted to move his arm but she couldn't.

"Get the equipments! Save the patient!" the doctor said to the nurses.

For five months, she stayed inside the hospital. She doesn't want to be visited by friends or any other person, except her family.

They tried to talk to her but she just look outside the window and seems like her mind is wandering somewhere.

"Do you think she will be okay?" Her mother asked the doctor.

"Let's not rush her. She is in trauma of what happened to her" the doctor advised her.

After a days passed, her condition get worse day by day.

"Ma'am Cuvier, I have something to tell you. Please prepare yourself and don't shocked yourself" the doctor tries to aid her emotional state first before saying something important.

Mrs. Cuvier, Chichai's mother, breaths heavily.

"Tell me" she said with seriousness on her voice. It sounds like she's ready to take it.

The doctor flips Chichai's medical chart. Then, clears his throat. "Your...daughter.." he started.

"She couldn't...last longer" he said.

Mrs. Cuvier's body is trembling, not because of fear but because her daughter will be dead soon.

"For five months of confinement, we tried our best to aid her burnts. We did. But, later on, we found out that her senses are no longer there..." he added. He stands beside the window, in his office.

"She was lucky to be alive for five months. But, she is like a bullet without a gun. She's alive yet dead. Her soul is there which is a good thing but her senses are no longer there and sooner or later, her body will give up everything even though she still hang on for us...." he continued.

She cried.

"Either we pulled the life support or not, she will die" he ended.

Mrs. Cuvier couldn't utter a word but her tears are flowing down endlessly. A feeling of a mother towards her child is like endless thread.

"You should decide on what to do..." he said.

She slowly stands up. "Hey, she's also your child. Are you okay with it?" she asked him.

"As a father, it is difficult to see her like that. It is also painful to send her away from us. But, she's struggling for too much for us.. She's waiting for us to send her away.." he answered.

Yes, they both hid the truth from her. She's an illegitimate child of Mr. Francois, father of Aaron. Thus, they are brother and sister.

Aaron, recently, knows the truth. He has a feeling for her, too. But, he couldn't take it because of the blood they both shared.

He didn't know that Chichai has a feelings for her. After knowing the truth, he looks on another girl which is Lilia. Lilia is into him. He wanted to try it to be with another girl yet it turned out, he killed his little sister and only woman she truly love.

Lilia was very jealous of Chichai's possession. She's rich, humble, kind, friendly, and smart. She's a perfect girl that could match to Goddess Venus.

It was not their intention to kill her. They just want to leave her there because they both know she could walk on her own.

When they heard that there were plenty of gas bottle beside the burning drum, they regret.

"If only I checked around, maybe...maybe" she uttered to herself like crazy.

"She's dead already. We both have sinned" he said to her as she calmed her.

He knows that he should hate her but he also knows that they both knew they don't like the result of it.

His phone rings. She answered the call.

"Hurry! She's having a life and death situation!" Roel's voice from another side.

He holds her wrist and both runs towards the hospital. Lilia doesn't ask because she already know where they have to go.

They have reached her room. They saw that the doctors and nurses are trying the best they could to revive her. They are doing a CPR on her but in the end, her heart beats stop.

Aaron's legs are trembling. He slowly walk to her. He tries to wake her up by shaking her body or saying something loudly but no changes happened.

They are mourning..
