Third Person's Point Of View
"Ano nga po pala ang pag-uusapan natin?" Tanong ni Dorothy nang makapasok sila sa loob villa.
Nasa huwisyo na ito at kaya nang maglakad. Buong byahe walang ni isa sa kanila ang humamak na magsalita.
Balak na sana ng dalaga na magtanong kanina pa sa sasakyan- ngunit hindi ito makahanap ng tiempo. Pakiramdam niya masiyadong mabigat pa ang hangin sa loob.
Sa kabilang banda si Victoria Feliz ay malalim ang iniisip. As if she's left in the middle of a vast ocean not surrounded by anyone. Ngunit alam niyang sa gitna ng malalim at kalmadong karagatan, may nakaambang panganib na hindi niya inaasahan.
Walang nangyayaring progreso sa pinag-aaralan nila ni Astrid. Nagiging mainit siya sa mata ng iba't-ibang organisasyon ngayon. Bukod pa ay ang pagbabalik ng kaniyang dating asawa. Oo, dating asawa. Most of the corporate people only knew the guy as her fiancé, but he was indeed not. It was her ex husband. The blood sucking creatures knew about it a hundred years ago. They're not new with the news, but for the normal ones it was quite a shocker knowing she had an ex fiancé and it wasn't even published on the news.
The guy came off from a well-known clan of blood suckers. They profit illegally through cartels and human trafficking, the reason why Victoria Feliz' dad had a joint veture and agreement with his family. Of course that one lies under the laws of creatures like themselves. But for the eyes of normal humans the guys family brought a facade of being considered as a well-known family of politicians since the 1950's. From Senatorial down to the lower local government positions in different districts- the Balthazars are popular.
Hindi na alam ni Victoria kung tama ba ang desisyon niyang protektahan ang dalaga o pangkasarilihan lamang ang lahat.
Pangkasarilihan saan? Maging siya ay hindi maisip kung para saan nga ba at kailangan niyang protektahan ang dalaga.
Simulat-sapul alam ni Victoria na tanging kapahamakan lamang ang nag-aabang sa kaniya at ang posibilidad na maaring madamay niya ang dalaga rito. Ngunit hindi rin nito matiis dahil ito'y nagpapaalala sa kaniya ng taong matagal niya nang binaon at nilimot sa nakaraan.
Ang pamilyar na mukha, pamilyar na boses, nangungusap na mga mata noong una silang nagkita sa rooftop ng kaniyang hotel. Lahat ng ito'y nagpabuhay ng kaniyang atensyon at kuryosidad.
Imposible. Paulit-ulit na bulong nito sa kaniyang isipan.
She did a background check about the woman. No parents, was previously living with her grandmother before she got deceased, debts piling up, hasn't finished college and was previously thrown out the apartment they were renting. Kaya nakitira noon sa kaniyang kaibigan. There were no strange things found the way she expected it to be.
Reading the information and staring on her photo just made her feel pity.
Maybe that became her reason why she bothered her to accept the offer. 'Yun nga lang ba talaga? Or there still lies a deep reason behind it?
Hinarap nito ang dalaga. "We're going on a trip tomorrow." She informed.
The woman's eyes went curious. "Huh? Saan?" She said as she walked past Victoria dahilan upang mapahinto ito at matuon ang buong atensyon sa kaniya.
