• Daniel's POV •
"Remember this, Daniel, your father despises girls in the family, he doesn't like having daughters, he kills his own flesh and blood, so do not let anyone else know that you are a girl."
"You are Daniel Alredal Delquantes."
"In order to live, you have to hide this secret."
"Daniel?"
"Make sure to keep this secret safe. You are Daniel."
"Daniel!"
Argh! Kaninong boses ba 'yun?
"... Daniel?"
Unti unti kong binuksan ang aking mga mata, and finally saw the figure and the face of the person that's been calling out my name.
"Finally, gising ka na." he said with such a playful smile plastered on his face.
Napahipo nalang ako sa noo ko at bumangon, "Anong oras na?" tanging tanong ko at sumandal sa puno na nasa likuran ko kung saan rin nakasandal ang kasama ko.
"Hmm, 4:30 na." he simply answered habang nakatingin sa dala niyang pocket watch. "Dalawang oras kang tulog." nakangisi niyang sabi habang sumasabay ang buhok niya sa pag-alon sa malamig na hangin.
"Tss." napatingin nalang ako sa tanawing nasa harapan ko, kasalukuyan akong nandito sa Hill-Vibe, ang maliit na bundok na matatagpuan sa likurang bahagi ng mansiyon at lupa ng mga Delquantes, my comfort place.
Then I suddenly remembered the dream I had before I woke up.
Mom...
She appeared in my dreams again...
"Hindi ka pa ba uuwi?" biglang tanong nitong kasama ko, "Baka hinahanap ka na sa inyo." he added.
