The next morning, I'm still at the house. Hindi pa ako pwede lumabas hangga't walang sinasabi si Ariana. Andrea on the other side, went out earlier to apply at V.H Company, where I'm supposed to work. Para raw kapag babalik na ako do'n, ready na rin siya at ang files at wala na kaming aabalahin pang iba. 



I'm all alone in the house for now, Andrea is sending me few messages saying that she's apprehensive. Ewan ko ba sa kaniya, natanggap siya sa isa sa pinakamalalaking kompanya sa Pinas, parang ganoon na rin ang gagawin niya ngayon pero kabadong kabado siya. 



I took the phone that Andrea lent me. Para daw 'di ako mabored. I played some games, still avoiding social media. I'm too scared of what might happen. Basta, ayoko. I don't want to get in contact with people, even those who I trust. I just don't want to. Sobra akong natatakot, I promised Eunice before that Elijah and my sister will go to jail after what they did to her. But, so far, si Elijah pa lang ang nakukulong. 



Nabalitaan ko na lang din pala na malaki na ang anak ni Eunice. I do not know anything about her child, but I know na mabait 'yon katulad ng nanay niya. I hope that Eunice is doing well, nalaman ko rin from Andrea na nag rerecover pa siya sa ngayon. 



So many things happened through the years. It hurts to think that most of those memories, ay wala ako. I'm not there to support them, because of such big mess. Because of misunderstanding, everything is ruined. I don't know how am I going to bring back my regular life, but I won't stop trying. 



"Here are the lists of the people who knows about your current situation, you can trust them because they are my people. Their contacts and addresses are also indicated in that paper, so keep it okay?" sabi ni Ariana. Dumating siya rito kaninang tanghali, katatapos lang daw niyang asikasuhin ang mga 'to. 



"I'm really sorry for bothering you this much," I told her. Totoo naman, kahit hindi nila aminin, alam kong nakakaabala na rin ako. 



"Hey, It's alright. It's for your own good too," she assured me. I smiled and looked at the list of the names. Hindi ko kilala ang mga taong 'to, but maybe soon enough I will. 



"Anyway, by next week, you can start at the company. I fixed everything and told my dad about it so don't worry okay? Still, be careful." paalala niya. Tumango naman ako. I offered her lunch but she refused, aalis nanaman siya. Aasikasuhin naman niya ang sa modeling niya. Kinuha kasi siyang model para sa isang brand, kaya sobrang busy niya.
