☘☘☘
After the night Calamity threatened me, I didn't dare leave my room even once. I always made sure the balcony door was locked whenever I would go out and come back inside after. I stayed in my room entertaining myself with magazines and books that Karma bought for me. But what takes most of my day is trying to distract myself from the voices in my head.
I tried to sleep most of the time but my nightmares wouldn't leave me in peace. Since what happened that night, seeing men dying again, my dreams would not be black anymore. Dumagdag pa ang interview ni Darcy.
I tried to convince myself that he was lying. Because he was, right? That was just a joke. He was just stirring me up.
He was lying. Because he's a liar. We made a deal. And he made a promise.
I'm doing my best for everything, doing what we agreed on. He won't do anything.
He won't. Right?
The uncertainties kept me up all night. All I had was my hope that everything would all work out. I have nothing else. And even that hope—I'm starting to lose it.
I need to hurry up. I need to finish.
Because of what happened that night, I never heard them go out and do another order. It's either they're resting because most of their men got injured in that ambush or they're moving in small numbers, sneaking out. Hindi ko sure ang ginagawa nila. I'm locked up in my room. And I never asked because Karma would never tell me.
"Don't worry. Everything is fine." That's all he would say.
If you ask me if I believe it, I think you already know the answer. I know the truth so he can't lie. I've seen it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears. Nothing is doing fine. And everyone in this house knows that.
Naging parang preso ako sa bahay na iyon. Wala akong alam sa paligid ko. Hindi ko na alam kung kaya ko pang makalabas dito. But I stayed obedient. I stayed quiet. I stayed away from Calamity and everyone else. I'm sure they're angry at me. As they should.
I'll stay quiet and leave when I get the chance. I'll stay away from them just like what they wanted me to. For their peace, and for mine as well.
