"Amara, come in," pagpapapasok ni Bloodemir sa kung sino ma'ng nasa likod ng nakasarang pinto.

Nag-ugat ako sa aking kinatatayuan. Hindi ako makagalaw at tuluyan nang naestatwa nang bumukas ang pinto at pumasok ang isang babae.

A woman, an inch shorter than me in her flat shoes. Hair as black as mine, but it wasn't tied. Nakalugay iyon at abot hanggang balikat n'ya. Her brown eyes were soft and deceiving like she could easily convince everyone to do whatever she wants with just one gentle look. Small pointed nose and pinkish full lips. She's strutting a cream coloured french retro short dress.

She's pretty and cute.

"Uncle Blood, where's Diablos? You told me that I'll meet him in your study," her voice was breathy and sexy. Parang iyong sa mga pelikula, nakakaakit ang kaniyang boses.

"Be patient. Diablos is currently in the dungeon," the cockiness in Bloodemir's voice was too obvious that I can't ignore it.

It irked me. I don't know if I'm just assuming or not, but it seemed like he wanted to see what my reaction would be.

Napatingin sa akin ang babaeng nagngangalang 'Amara'. It's so close to 'Tamara'. Ikinumpara ko pa talaga ang kaniyang mga mata sa mga mata ng babaeng baliw na doktor na dumukot sa akin.

Ang layo. Amara have light brown eyes that would get all who dared to contact with it will get mesmerized. Iyong sa doktor naman ay normal na kulay ng mga mata ng isang taong born Filipino.

"Huh? Bakit? Ano'ng nangyari? May ginawa ba s'yang masama ulit? I'm sorry, Uncle Blood. Wala ako para pakalmahin s'ya. Nagpagamot pa kasi ako sa Sicily ng ilang taon. I don't want him to worry," she was confused and sincerity was engraved in her words.

And she can speak my language too? Just like the doctor who tortured me. Pero magkaiba ang kanilang boses.

Kung totoo ma'ng dating kinababaliwan ito ni Diablos? Hindi ko na alam. Baka makalimutan ako ni Diablos at maibalik ang kaniyang atensiyon kay Amara. Kahit ako ay namamangha sa kagandahan nito.

"You plotted your death and he believed it for years, very clever," Bloodemir complimented.

A 'what the fuck?' stuck in my mind. Bakit sinabi iyon ni Bloodemir kung alam n'yang maririnig ko? Maaaring isusumbong ko ito kay Diablos.

Bumaha ang tanong sa aking isip. Bakit n'ya ginawa 'yon? Paano n'ya nagawa 'yon? Hindi ako naniniwala. Diablos knows everything.

Pero biglang bumaon sa isip ko na hindi pala lahat ay alam ni Diablos. Kung alam n'ya nga ay sana nahanap n'ya ako kaagad sa laboratoryo na iyon.

Wait. Hell, what? May naidugtong ako sa aking isip. Diablos didn't know that her death was plotted. He didn't know where the laboratory is. Iyon lang ang hindi n'ya halos malaman. This woman, Amara, have a skill in hiding that Diablos couldn't even find. 'Amara' is almost the same as 'Tamara'.

There's something wrong here, and I could not confirm it yet.

Ang babaeng kaharap ko ay posible'ng iyong doktor na dumukot sa akin.

"So why is Diablos in a dungeon?" matutunugan sa kaniyang boses ang kalungkutan.

"Kinulong n'ya ang sarili n'ya," ako na ang s'yang sumagot.

Bumaling s'ya sa akin mula kay Bloodemir. "Uhm?"

"Oh, she's Aoife Montalvo. Diablos'. . ." Bloodemir couldn't finish talking. Hindi n'ya alam kung ano ang istado ko sa buhay ng kaniyang anak.
