"Hi, we're asking for help po. If someone saw my mommy, please tell me. She has dementia and was recently diagnosed with Diogenes syndrome so I'm afraid for her health. If you saw her, please contact me immediately. Thank you." I wiped my tears as I held the missing poster of mommy in my other hand. Barron, my husband, was behind me trying to comfort me. The cameraman put down his camera and signaled okay.

I nodded, and then after a while, all the crew members finally left. "Get me more tissues, Barron," I asked him, and he immediately obliged. After a minute, he came back with a box of tissues.

I rolled my eyes as I wiped my face with tissue again. "Fuck these tears. Now my makeup's ruined," I said annoyingly.

"Love, I think we should work on finding mom too," Barron insisted, kaya naman tiningnan ko siya nang masama.

"Shut up, Barron. Ayokong magpakapagod para sa nanay mo. Bakit ba naman kasi hindi mo na lang dinala sa foster care o kung saan man 'yang nanay mo? Ngayong nawala, idadamay mo pa ako." I heard him sigh as he took his keys then went out.

Pinanood ko siyang lumabas ng bahay with his car keys. When I was sure he was far away, I immediately called Garret.

"Hi babe, where are we hanging tonight?" he said seductively. I already expected that from a dumbass like him, and I don’t even know what got into me for liking it. Maybe it's the thrill of doing something wrong that drives me to do these things? Or money. Yeah, that’s it. Probably.

"Where's she?" I whispered. Mahirap na, baka may makarinig.

"I left her in the dumpster. Huwag mo na nga alalahanin 'yon, hindi naman na tayo maaalala n'on," he answered trying to give me an assurance.

"I—aish—I told you to kill her!"

"She's dead."

I blinked. "Really?"

"Eh... probably. If buhay man siya, 'di tayo maaalala n'on."

"Putangina mo talaga, Garret. I told you to kill her!"

"Just calm down and let's meet sa local hotel near me. I'll wait for you there."

I rolled my eyes. "Fine."

When I got to the hotel, I took a deep breath before entering. Garret was already there, leaning against the bedpost with that stupid grin on his face. "Babe," he greeted, pulling me into his arms.

I pulled back a little, looking at him with narrowed eyes. "Sigurado ka ba talagang patay na ang matandang 'yon? I need Barron's money ASAP."

"Relax, babe. She’s gone. Wala na 'yon."

"Ano ba naman kasi 'yan, Garret! I told you I wanted her dead. Wala na dapat problema!"

"Trust me, okay? Hindi na makakasira 'yon sa plano natin."

I took a deep breath, calming myself down. "Fine."

Garret smirked and leaned in to kiss me, but I turned my head away. I wasn’t in the mood for his stupidity. "Let's just get this over with," I muttered.

"Always so serious," he whispered annoyingly, but I ignored him, already thinking about my next move.

Kailangan masigurado ko munang aayon lahat sa plano ko.

Nang hahalikan na niya ako sa leeg, lumapit ako sa cabinet kung saan ko nilapag ang shoulder bag ko. "Babe, relax," bulong niya pero hindi ko siya pinansin. I'm so determined of making my plan perfect.
