Kabanata 13.
Since my deal with Ezekon are now canceled, hindi ko na alam kung gaano ako katagal na titira dito sa Varyntian Mansion.
Sabi niya hanggang sa makahanap siya ng paraan para makakita akong muli. Nakakakita na ako, kapag sinabi ko iyon sa kaniya, baka paalisin niya ako.
I suddenly don't want to leave.
The reason? Because someone is out there waiting for me to leave this place.
I'm weird and I am very much aware of that.
My family forced me to live here with a stranger. Wala talaga akong balak mag-stay sa Varyntian mansion sa una palang. Kaya wala akong pake kahit paalisin ako ni Ezekon. Masaya akong lalayas sa kaniyang pamamahay para lang hindi ko masunod ang gusto ng aking pamilya.
I have a crooked mind.
If you tell me to go to west, I would certainly go to east, south or north. As long as it's not west. I would never go there.
So, my plan was breaking away from Ezekon Varyntian. My family wants me stay with him, then I won't stay.
However, someone suddenly changed my mind.
The chosen one. She's good at convincing people.
She convinced me to never leave Ezekon's side. That's not what she meant but that's what I understand.
See, I don't really have a good brain.
If I divorced Ezekon Varyntian, I would surely die of boredom. It was entertaining to stay by his side. I got the chance to meet someone like Teresa.
If he is really going to destroy Zann-ar, I might as well watch the fun.
Divorcing him? What's that? I don't know the word divorce.
As for Teresa? I will play with her as much as I want, from now on.

My schedule for today is to go to Amaris Orphanage to watch over the kids.
I don't hate kids, I just don't like them very much.
Matapos akong ayusan ni Erida ay lumabas na kami ng aking bedroom.
"Madam, would you like to bid goodbye to Master Ezekon before leaving?" tanong sa akin ni Erida.
Napangiti ako.
"Yes, let's go to his office."
Agad kaming nagtungo ni Erida sa office ni Ezekon. Kumatok siya bago ako pumasok. Katulad ng nakasanayan ay hindi siya sumunod sa akin.
Hawak ang cane ay naglakad ako patungo sa harap ng desk ni Ezekon. Nang tumama ang hawak kong cane sa paanan ng table niya ay tsaka lang ako tumigil.
"My wife, are you going out?" tanong niya sa akin kahit alam na naman niya.
"Yes, my dear husband. Would you like to come with me?" Malambing kong tanong pabalik sa kaniya.
"I would like to but, as you can see, I can't. I'm busy."
Sumimangot ako bago ako bumuntong-hininga.
"What a pity, I'd like to see you playing with kids. Not killing them. It's really not a good timing, I guess." Malungkot kong pahayag bago ako mahinang natawa.
"Madam, take care of yourself outside. Don't get sick."
"My husband is really thoughtful as always. Don't miss me too much."
