He is lurking in the shadow;
I was invisible to him.
But when I saw him again,

They say "The next day is unexpected" because we don't have an idea for the unfortunate events that would ruin our way of being happy.
It's suffocating, the way that my hand shakes, my throat is dry and sore, the whole thing that my tummy hasn't fed up since the last hour.
I lock myself in the only place where I belong. My room..
No one else can come here. My aunt and Claire get their asses off back to the city. My mother is not coming home, so I expected to be alone.
i'm innocent, bakit ba nakakaramdam ako ng takot? Gerald isn't dead, nawawala lang ang lalaki na 'yon. He may get lost somewhere kaya hindi na bumalik, kaya pala dahilan kung bakit hindi niya na ako binalikan ay iyon nawawala pala siya.
I left him in that darkest spot that was near the entrance of the forest, with branches of wood and tall trees. Tanda ko pang itinali ko ang kanyang paa at kamay. Pinipilit n'yang sumigaw, but I won't hesitate to kick his mouth to shut him up..

"Chiara, this world is not safe. You can't call a place that is safest." He once lectured me during my drawing session.

"I got a new client. His wife got murdered."
In every news I have watched with my father. It's a long time thrilling news about killings, criminals, and corruption everywhere. To the point that my father stood up and turned off the TV.
"I have something to ask, Papa" I asks.
My father's eyes landed on me. "You are not yet sleepy, Princess? You have school tomorrow "
I pouted. "I have a question, Papa" Pagpipilit ko. Wala siyang nagawa kundi umupo.
"What's the matter?" Aniya at pinandilatan ako.
