TAHIMIK na napapangiti si Nayumi. Ikinagagalak niyang nasindak niya ito nang ipakita niya ang baril at hayaan itong isiping ginagamit niya iyon upang pumatay ng tao; na maaaring gamitin niya kanina sa grupo ni Boying ang baril.

It was James and Renz who encouraged her to study martial arts months after her thwarted kidnapping. Along with Cameron, hindi lang martial arts ang pinag-aralan niya kundi pati na ang paggamit ng baril at kung paano tamaan ang target.

Pareho ring sinabi ng dalawang lalaki na hindi gagamitin ang kaalaman malibang nanganganib ang buhay nila, gayunma'y gamitin iyon nang may katalinuhan at hindi dala ng kapusukan o galit.

And she would have used the gun. Iyon ay kung wala siyang mapagpipilian. Lalo na at ang sabi nito ay pitong lahat ang grupo ni Boying. Kung walang alam sa self-defense ang mga sangganong iyon ay kakayanin niya, katulong ang baril. At duda pa nga siya kung magagawang pagtulong-tulungan ng mga iyon ang nag-iisang babae.

Ano't ano man, the gun meant to scare. And if worse came to worse, only to wing her enemies.And Nayumi was so delighted that this man was shocked at her. He was too arrogant, too sure of himself. And she was sick and tired of his kind. She had enough of overbearing and arrogant men to. last her a lifetime.

She slanted him a quick look. Tahimik na nagmamaneho ang lalaki na hindi man lang nag-abalang sabihin sa kanya ang pangalan. But she could hear his breathing, smell the scent of him. Hindi ng kahit na anong cologne na panlalaki. But a fragrance nothing she knew. Wind and freedom—and danger.

He also had a voice that befitted the exotic animal she had envisioned of him—a deep growl. Napuno ng kuryosidad ang dibdib ni Nayumi na makita ito sa maliwanag. Crazy, but it was as if she had known him forever.

She realized in that instant that the men she had dated were painfully dull. That included Ranjo."Saang hotel ka tumutuloy?" tanong nito. Sinabi niya ang hotel na tinutuluyan. "It's a third-rate hotel." May-pagtatakang nilingon siya nito.

Nagkibit ng mga balikat si Nayumi. "For a change."He snorted. "Another of your whims, Miss Navarro? Kung pinlano mong magbakasyon dito tulad ng isang simpleng tao, di sana'y hindi ang Wagon Hummer na ito ang ginamit mo. This is a dead giveaway, sugar."

She hated the indulging tone. Pero hindi siya kumibo. The trip wasn't planned. It was a spur-of-a-moment decision out of rebellion. O perhaps she just wanted to be free. To perk up her life a bit. Matagal na iyong nakatanim sa dibdib niya at na-trigger lang ng nangyari sa mansiyon.At kung ang pagbabasehan ay ang nangyari kanina sa bar, well, that was fear and excitement combined. Or just plain stupidity tulad ng sinasabi ng lalaking ito. She could have been in real danger.

Hindi niya gustong magpakitang-gilas. It wasn't like her to put on a show. Ang nangyari sa bar ay wala siyang pagpipilian. It was too late to run and get out of the bar. Natitiyak niyang haharangan din siya ni Boying.

And for a minute there, it was really kind of exciting though a little on the edge. Hindi man niya gustong aminin, gusto niyang magpasalamat na nakialam ang estrangherong ito. After all, she didn't want to use her gun. At kung nakasakit siya ng tao, kahit na nga ba kasalanan ng mga ito, dadalhin pa rin niya sa konsiyensiya iyon.
