Year 1897
Isabella's Pov**
I understand that you care for my father's credibility, and that even if half of our lives we spent together, I know it was the military that you cared about, and my tears keep falling. I was desperate to take the responsibility on my actions, if some point I'll be caught, I would be willing to take the consequence for mom.
I had stepped my back without realizing that there were pieces of a lamp glass were broken earlier, but before I get shoved to it, he quickly held my hand and I fall to his chest, where almost I can felt his heartbeat on it.
I felt a little embarrased on what had happened, that's when the time I had tried to stepped back again and that before I fell into the floor, he slowly brought me out to there and held me on and was fell into my bed, it was too late for me to insist, he was covering my eyes using his right hand just with a full force and that even brought more darkness inside my room, there were no lights on it present, and as far as he could he held his arms on me one more time, let me fell into his chest, telling me not to create a noise, and that now that I have felt more unnecessary actions, he was touching my face slowly and smoothly driven his fingers on every side of it, and without ay hesitation brought him closer down to my lips slowly touching it, and kissing it. I can feel the time slowly setting in motion.
I can't even take away the fears on my heart, simply because this isn't a normal thing that always happens to me, and I can clearly hear his heartbeat now.
My eyes can't see anything and I can't do anything to push him out and away from me because I was crossed by his whole entity.
I just have remained quiet and do not even refused to insist myself for the things he have done because I know even if I do it, it wouldn't help me.
He started to whispered me with such words .
" Even if we're not together, I will still be wishing for you to be with me" I'm happy atleast we're in these type of situation, after how many years you know how much". .
Senor Armando ---
He wasn't have the chance to continue, because a loud thunder was covering the whole place! I felt a heavy burden in my heart knowing that his words reveal his heart, and that I don't have the chance to love him back, because I know it wasn't him whom I am going to marry.
And that I know father would let me marry a man who has great power and connection, for his good. And that I was sad reflecting myself.
I saw you earlier crying, and that I saw you now crying. Almost half of my lives I saw half of yours, there's no point for me not to stand for you. Remember, I was just worried and I only want to protect you.
But that doesn't mean, I will not stand for you.
Senor Armando ---
And after those words I heard, the light was turned on and that my servant comes in my room.
I took my steps from the window I know he just jumped off, I missed him. I swear that I had been lonely for a long time waiting for him.
All I can do is to wait, and just let things fall into it's place.
I can't sleep due to heavy rainfall and thunders were disturbing me, I'm nervous everytime I hear those thunders since when I was a child. I have lots of destructions and I do have lots of anxieties and nightmares.
All I wished is I would be able to sleep without any thing to worried about, and now that Senor Armando would help me get through it, I feel at ease.
I just don't know what to feel, I feel like I was becoming someone who had to betray my heart for me to be accepted.
Senor Armando, how I wished it's you whom I can spend with the rest of my lives, I just hope I don't need to hide my tears and fears simply because I know you know me exactly.
I just loved you, since then.

The dark skies remain just like last night and that I can see a heavy dark clouds which is a common sign that a rainfall will soon to drop again, it was around 7:00 am in the morning, and we are sitting here on our favorite side of the river.
Are you okay? We can go back if you're not comfortable here.
I'm fine, don't worry.
Senor Armando.
Can I ask ?
How much do you know my father?
That was the moment he turns out suddenly fell silent.
I was not in the position to tell you that.
About what?
About the girl you called your friend Estrella.
I know you'll be angry with me because I hide it from you, but I don't have the rights to quickly judge your father because I didn't really know the whole encounter.
All I knew is that it was the moment Estrella was on her way out in your house, that's when you are sick.
She was crying all along , and she's sick too.
She had lots of blood over her body and I knew it was your father who raped her.
What? As I go along the story. It was when my tears keep falling.
How can a bastard leader do that?!
Estrella is aged like me, like Jeana.. like you!
How can he do that to an innocent girl?!
I can't hide but took a long breathe in and out fixing myself and hanging to that idea that my father is such an evil creature in this world.
He doesn't became contented of the things he did for Estrella's family.
And knowing that he raped her?.. was such a cruel thing that a normal person can do!..
I was out of words and just so angry of what my father have done.
He was nothing in my eyes now but a cruel evil!
I don't have the rights to speak, nor to judge.
All I know is that "Vengeance is not Ours".Senor Armando.
What this feeling deep within me, dishonour the man I hated the most in my life.
Senor? Can you help me? Do you have any idea where I can find Estrella?
No.
Aside from being a mysterious lady.She's someone you can't deal with.She becames more scary than what you first known her.
Where is she right now?
We can't find her.
But some says someone had saw her in Cordillera Mountain.
(Disclaimer: No Copyright Infringement Intended)
I had researched this one as my reference here which really means that Cordillera is one of the mountains of the Philippines, that has been existed in my country during the Spanish Colonial Period up to now.
I don't have any other intention. But some things were good for research especially some parts of the history of the country.
The Cordillera Central or Cordillera Range is a massive 320 km (198 miles) long north south, 118 km (73 miles) width east- west. Cordillera mountain range situated in the Northern Central Island of Luzon, in the Philippines.

HISTORY:
Philippines was colonized by Spain began when explorer Ferdinand Magellan came to the Islands in the year 1521 and claimed it as a colony for the Spanish Empire. The period lasted until the Philippine Revolution in 1898.

We end up the night with the fear on our hearts. And that Senor Armando had promised to look for Estrella, for me.
Maybe I can speak to her, and ask her to forgive my father. I know it won't be that easy. Doing this part is a risky decision I had to make, for some point I know she will listen to me.
For me, Estrella becoming the scary person she is right now because of one reason and that is she was betrayed and neglected by people and that the world had given her a painful story.
If I was her, it would be the same thing I would feel then. Aside from one scary father, the deadliest ending were a memories and echoes of the families who had been killed on their innocence because of power and greediness.
My father is a soldier, he have saved the country many times and to feel this way around must be guilt. I know how power, money and position took all the goodness on his heart to do something evil like this!
And I hope he realized that before he could kill more innocent people.
