Minsan, namamasyal kami nina Adrian at Deon sa mall. Minsan naman, kung anu-ano lang ang trip naming gawin. Halos makalimutan ko na ngang may trabaho pa pala ako kung hindi lang tumawag si Sir Gazvin.
Makakalimutan ko talagang hindi normal ang buhay ko sa tuwing kasama ko si Adrian.
"Do you find her, Zendall?" Tanong sa akin ni Sir Gazvin.
Nasa isang coffee shop ako noon, meeting with someone.
"Still searching," sagot ko.
Tungkol iyon sa mission ko.
"Okay. What about the plan designation in Ms. Montemayor's port?"
"Still working on it. Naibigay ko na ang blueprint. They wouldn't notice it since it's just a mere designation. Hindi nila malalaman na may ibang passageway ang port."
Narinig ko ang buntong-hininga niya sa kabilang linya.
"Good job, Zendall." May ilang segundo ng katahimikan. "What about the kid?"
Napatigil ako.
"What will you do with that kid if you find her? Adrian? Can he manage the kind of life you've built without you?"
Natahimik ako.
"Or are you going to change your mind and live happily with that kid—"
"My company here will be transferred to his name." Diretso kong sagot. "I told you before, Gazvin. If there's someone who can change my mind, that would be no one."
Napatingin ako sa bintana ng coffee shop.
"Though that child somehow helps me forget my nightmares from time to time... they always come back."
"I see." Mahina siyang tumawa. "I still respect your decision."
Nagpaalam na ako pagkatapos noon. Pagkababa ng tawag, hindi ko maiwasang isipin kung ano ang mangyayari kay Adrian kapag nawala ako. He will be sad. I'm sure of it. I hope Deon would stay by his side and comfort him.
If Adrian ever decides to search for information about me in the future, sisiguraduhin kong mapoprotektahan ko siya sa lahat ng paraan. Himannd Deon too. Kaya ayaw na ayaw kong may anumang bakas ng pagkatao ko sa lahat ng ipapamana ko.
One day, I will erase every trace of my existence. I will vanish completely. As if I never existed.
"What do you want from Leona?"
Nagising ako mula sa malalim na pag-iisip nang may magsalita sa harap ko. It was a deep baritone voice. Dahan-dahan akong tumingala. Adam.
