Pinagmasdan ni Phinex ang k'warto sa second floor ng bahay na kita mula sa swimming pool habang nagpapalutang-lutang sa tubig.
Naalala niya ang usapan nila ni Rosella kaninang umaga.
She closed her eyes and massaged her temple.
They've been together for years. Nagkasama na rin sila sa maraming misyon sa Union.
And during those times, her friend never drew conclusions without thoroughly investigating things.
Nalilito tuloy siya kung alin ang paniniwalaan. Kung ang sarili ba niyang pagkakatanda sa mga pangyayari kagabi o ang sa kaibigan.
Lalo pa't alam niyang hindi rin naman siya dapat magtiwala kay Klaud.
She took a deep breath and opened her eyes. She has to clear her mind so she'll be able to look at things better.
Napakunot-noo si Phinex nang mapadako ang mata sa terasa ng k'warto ng asawa.
Sa nakikita ng mata niya, may malapad pang pader na nasa gilid niyon.
Pero sa loob ng k'warto ng lalaki, ang terrace na ang pinakadulo niyon.
Something sparked her curiosity. Although his closet is located on that part of the extra area, she's sure it's not as big as the space she's looking at.
Nakapaghalungkat na siya sa damitan ng lalaki. Hindi 'yon kasinluwag ng isang buong silid.
She swam towards the side of the pool. Umahon siya't bahagyang nagtuyo ng katawan bago pumunta sa shower room sa gilid ng swimming area para maligo.
She hastily took a bath. She wanted to go back inside the master's bedroom to confirm her suspicion.
Agad niyang kinuha ang mga tinagong gamit nang maisara ang pinto ng silid.
She wore her latex gloves before starting to explore the closet again.
Nilinawan pa niya ang mata.
If she missed something before, she's not letting that happen again now.
Ultimo mga turnilyo na nakakabit sa damitan, inisa-isa niya.
There's something behind the closet, that she's very sure of.
Katulad na lang ng hinala niya nang unang maghalungkat doon.
Well, now, it's on the outside she's having a bad feeling about but it is still the same.
Pagkatapos ng ilang sandaling pagsuyod sa closet, wala pa rin siyang nakitang kahina-hinala.
Which frustrated her even more.
She knows there's something that would lead her to the area she saw from the pool.
Hindi lang niya alam kung ano dahil wala siyang nakikitang nakatagong pinto.
Or maybe it's not a door?
She's supposed to start another search when the doorbell rang.
Natigilan siya.
Then it rang again, and again...
