CHAPTER 11

Note: Thank you so much for waiting! Hindi ko talaga kayang hindi mag-update kahit aligaga na sa dami ng gawain. Also, nagdebate kasi ako sa sarili ko noong nakaraang araw kung ilang chapters ang kwentong 'to, tapos na-realize ko na nakaabot na ako sa kalahati sa pagsusulat hahaha. 'Yong punchline is, baka ma-extend ko 'yong chapter limit dahil sa story outline pero hindi pa naman sure 'yon.

LATISHA VALENTINE

I can feel there is something missing. A piece of the jigsaw puzzle is nowhere to be found. Like a hole, a deep hole. Something is blocking my head from remembering that memory, or someone took it away. Malabong wala akong maalala kung walang kumuha. Memory loss has many factors, but I was told before that they could be temporary. Something is off, and it's definitely not a random cell blocking my memory core.

Blessime is the only person who can clean my mess when I relapsed. Everytime I am triggered, Blessime will try her best to hide me. This is something that I can't truly control, and my father knows how to trigger it.

Natatakot ako. When I burst my anger out, it doesn't usually result to violence. I have a high amount of patience and it helped me control my temperamental attitude for the last three years.

I am always careful not to overdone it, and to avoid seeing blood at all cost. If Blessime knows I am slowly becoming violent, she'll knock me out to stop it from getting out of control.

If I can't control my emotions and if I see blood, those are only the trigger. Blessime has to prepare animals for me to kill and if I ask for more, she'll try her best to knock me out. I usually collapses once my body feel tired. Hindi nangyayari 'yon kapag nasa mansyon ako. Kaya nagtaka ako kung bakit sinabi niya sa akin 'yon, at sa harapan ng Duke. Did Roshan know that now?

Gusto kong makausap si Blessime tungkol sa nangyari. I never invited her to the Duchy for all the years of me being the Duchess. Pero, nagawa niyang makapasok. Gusto ko siyang kausapin kung ano ang kaganapan sa mansyon habang tulog ako.

But, I was stuck. Hindi ako makalabas dahil maraming nakabantay na Knights sa bawat daanan ng mansyon. There are even knights standing in every window on the first floor, and I was totally confused why.

Tinanong ko si Hana kung bakit, at ang tanging sagot niya lang ay inatasan raw ang mga ito na bantayan ako. They are not guarding me, more like, I was imprisoned inside the mansion. Kapag lumabas din ako sa aking kwarto, may mga kabalyero na nakadestino sa pintuan at sa dulo ng hallway. I wasn't allowed to leave my own chamber without a valid reason.

Gumagamit ako ng liham nitong mga nakaraan para makausap si Blessime, pero walang sumasagot. I told Hana to go to the shop and she came back saying that the owner was having a vacation. It was odd, like someone was hiding Blessime from me.

Wala na tuloy akong koneksyon sa labas na siyang ikinabahala ko. I was stuck for three days, and I don't have plans to add another day of boredom in my own room. Kailangan kong makalabas sa maraming kadahilanan, at isa na roon ang makausap ang bata. Kailangan kong makausap si Annika at tiyak akong hinahanap na niya ako.

I was able to know what was going on with the child through Hana. Annika wasn't doing well, as Hana told. Hindi nagsasalita ang bata kahit man lang kay Sonya. Parati raw itong nakayuko, at tanging pag-tango lang ang ginagawa.
