Biglang tuwid na tumayo si Kirsten matapos marinig ang sinabi niya. Ang mga mata nito'y naging mailap, ang morenang pisngi ay bahagyang namutla. Hindi ito nakasagot kaagad, kaya muli siyang nagsalita.
"Well?"
"W—Well what?" ulit nito, ang pansin ay ibinaling sa ibang direksyon.
"What are you hiding from me, and why is it so hard for you to be honest? Hindi ba at sinabi ko na sa'yong magpakatotoo ka? That's the only thing I want from you."
And he should throw her out of his house, shouldn't he? Dahil hindi nito sinunod ang patakaran niya, dapat ay palayasin na niya ito.
But why couldn't he? What's stopping him?
"T—Tingin mo ba talaga sa akin ay... sinungaling?"
"Hindi ba?"
"Syempre hindi."
"Then why are you stuttering?"
Lalong umuklo ang ulo nito. "Hindi ba ang mahalaga'y hindi ako kriminal at wala akong ina-agrabyadong tao? Kung may... itinatago man ako, iyon ay dahil nais kong panatilihing pribado ang buhay ko."
"You want to keep your privacy, and here you are, asking about my personal life." He tsked and turned his attention back to the stove. Inalis niya ang takip at nang makitang luto na iyon ay pinatay na niya ang stove saka kinuha ang omelette sa pan.
"Nobody in this town knew my full name, Kirsten."
He placed the omellete on the plate and then handed it to her. Nakita niya sa mukha nito ang pagkagulat na ikina-iling niya. Marahil ay napagtanto nito kung saan ito nagkamali kaya natigilan.
"Ikaw pa lang—maliban sa buo kong pamilya—ang nakaaalam ng buo kong pangalan. When I was still studying, my schoolmates called me Jaque, only my professors knew my complete name. And since I moved here in Montana, I never told anybody about it—the locals used to call me 'Jaque', dahil iyon ang unang pangalang ginamit ko rito. But when I built this shop, and I have my name printed on the signboard, people had started calling me Quaro. Pero wala ni isa man sa mga taga-rito ang nakaaalam ng buo kong pangalan. So... kung wala kang itinatagong lihim at hindi ka nagsisinungaling sa akin, how the hell did you learn my full name, Kirsten?"
Nanatiling tahimik si Kirsten; ang mukha'y patuloy na namutla.
"How exactly did you learn my full name? All my documents are stored in a safe which I'm sure you haven't opened, otherwise, the device would have sent me a signal. I only have two IDs; my passport which is also kept in the safe, and my driver's license which I have lost a long time ago. And I don't have social media—where the hell did you get the information?"
