She did not dare to breathe because she knew that she would not be lucky for a third time but her wariness turned into surprise when she heard a familiar voice.
The familiar voice belonged to Azrael. He mumbled something she could not hear.
Lareina could not be bothered with it. Her grip on the rock tightened and she moved. But just as she opened her mouth to speak, she heard a heart wrenching scream,''I am sorry,'' This time, Azrael's voice was loud and clear.
''I am a coward. I do not dare to turn around to know if I have lost you forever so I left without looking back."
"I am sorry for coming late. I am sorry for putting you through this. I am sorry for everything you have had to endure.''
Lareina froze. The words that were at the tip of her tongue never rolled out. Did this man believe that she died?
