THIRD PERSON POV 


Hindi pa sumisikat ang araw, kagulo na ang buong mansyon. Balitang-balita na ang pagbabalik ng Setka with his new wife to the central.  Soldier that escorted the newly wed has return to the south yesterday evening. It was the top gossip for the day. 


Napabunting hininga ang dalaga... 



 'I must be there before the Setka's affection fades'



Terry still felt anxious as these maids keep on bubbling about the gossip. Lingid sa kaalaman ng mga ito, Terry wasn't paying attention to them. She was pre occupied of her own circumstances. Bilang pagtatapos ng kanilang trabaho, ilalagay na nila ang angket sa paa ng dalaga.


But Terry refuse...



"Ngunit, kabilin bilinan po----"

"Just keep it on the box. I won't be leaving the room today, so it's useless"



Hindi na naman nagtanong ang mga ito at lumabas na silid. Naiwan si Terry sa silid. Tumayo ito sa may salamin at humiga sa may kama. Simula pa kagabi she was trying to rationalize. At kahit saan niya tingnan, all the thing left to her is that...



'Tuparin kaya niya ang sinabi nito. I help the south from the pandemic, so its okay for me to expect reward'



She knew how ridiculous her request. But she also knew that it was the fastest route for her to gain power enough to stay beside Mary. Nung lumabas siya sa opisina nito, Terry was positive that she win him. 


Ngunit bago pa man sumapit ang hating gabi, she heard a news that the General and Roy just went out to go in Lady Soroso's house. The red hair woman who made a scene in the aqueduct. A man going to a woman's residence at night?



'What should I expect. How foolish am I to talk marriage with him.' 



Terry is trying to cheer herself up until her eyes looked at the window. Tanaw ni Terry ang mga sundalong nagsisimulang pumila. Ang iba sa mga ito ay nag eensayo. Tila parang may isang bulalakaw ang tumama sa mata ng dalaga.
