“What's done is done.”

—Veronica

The telephone was ringing— ring, ring, ring.

I was in the shower room so I didn't picked it up as soon as possible. But despite all, whoever he is and if it is really important he needs to wait until I wear my Robe.

[Hello, Trexie?]

"Yes, speaking. Who is it?" Put the telephone in between of her shoulder and ear while fixing the tie.

[Um, It's —— Can you go there to my condo unit? I really need your help.] He said in low and unwell voice that make her feel worried. She asked him if he's okay.

[Honestly, I am not. I not feeling well. I, I feel dizzy—

***

"Trexie, wake up!" Niel shouted while shaking her.

"What the hell are you doing here?" She asked, her voice is sharp but suddenly stared to him that looks not good.

Is he the man? She thought.

"Don't you see, I am waking you up!" Suddenly irritated.

"Can you just leave? Your so annoying!" Repulsing, that make him quite. He did not expect it, to the point he realize that it was the most worst nightmare he had.

Trexie crosses her eyebrows and eyes, looks irritated and uncomfortable. Raising her hands. " You know what, all this nightmare started when you came back to my life!"

" Is that much you hate me?" Tearful he asked.

In the meantime, Veronica came and reach them they are fighting. She saw Trexie was shouting to Niel's face.

Veronica approach Trexie and hug her because she was crying. She look to Niel with a questionable face.

"Believe me, I didn't do anything wrong. I was just waking her up. " Explaining himself.

" Please, let her rest."

" Fine. I will talk to our Chief about her condition right now." He's worried but he need to follow her not for his sake but for them. Though, he doesn't know what is going on and why Trexie experiencing a nightmare Everytime he's in her house.

Niel, walk through out their house and leave them. Feeling ungrateful on that day. Even wondering why all this happening between them. What is the real point of their nightmare.

"I was expecting that both of you will report to me, today. But why you are alone and where is she?" an irritated tone of an old man, sitting on his swivel chair while tapping the tip of his black and neatly clean, sparkling like a star in the night sky. His eyes are focused on reading some news and even that, he still knows who is comes in. Looks like he has a CCTV camera under his head.

"I am sorry if we disappoint you and the reason why I am only one who's infront you is because Trexie is not feeling well—

Niel was startled when Foley suddenly throw him the news that he was currently reading. He look at him more fearsome and even he is a man, he's afraid of him.

"Did you forgot what I said to both of you?" He suddenly asked in a serious tone.

"Of-ofcourse not. But what I am saying is the truth!" He said.

" Truth?" Foley asked, lough in an crazy way.

" Sometimes you don't have to say the truth or not and lie just to protect someone." He added, shaking his head while there's a curve line to his lips.

" What are you talking about?" He asked confusing.

Mr. Foley stood up, head to his back and massage it. "Stop pretending you don't understand what I am saying. I know how smart you are!"

" What do you really want to tell me?"

He lough. " I said to both of you that you have to report to me on time, but you are just only one. Niel, it is your time! Your chance. If I will report it to the head, you are the one who will be promoted!" He said gratefully.

" What? Do you think it is joke?" He asked irritated.

" Well I am just giving you chance, what is wrong to that?"

" Seriously. Well, I am not like you." He turned around and walk. But Foley still bother him.

" It is just a reminder Mr. Morphy, never forget to turn around and look back to your origin." Mr Foley, said it to him like a threat. He felt the fear and he can't just ignore him.

"How are you feeling now?" Veronica asked Trexie. She is really worried to her best friend's condition since last night.

"No, I am not!" She replied, disgusted.

"Tell me, what is happened to both you?" She asked and Trexie keep in silent instead.

"Alright, I know how much Niel hurts you but it does mean you have done lately." She concerned, give a distance to both of them.

"Are you siding with him now?" She stared her and look so disappointed.

"No, Im not. I am just saying that you are not like that." She explained but Trexie doesn't look satisfied with it.

"Well, if I have to, why not?" Daring she said. The angry, afraid, and hatred that she saw lately was all change into swelled head.

"Seriously, you don't have to! Why you just treat him like a friend? If you don't see, he's trying his best to be comfortable especially you are working on the same page. Why don't you just give him another chance?"

" Chance? It doesn't fit it to him, actually. Why would I do that?" Still trying to persistence her idea even she know that it was wrong. The table turn upside down because of her weird dreams and also, to the file they are holding.

On the other hand, while they are investigating and collecting about Sarah's family and other background, she realized that Sarah and Trexie has the same tragedy that their mother in counter. She can't imagine that it was the same and make her uncomfortable and confused. Now, she regret that she still accept the task knowing that she, and Niel will be collaborate.
