A month have passed pero hindi ko parin alam kung ano ang nangyayari. It seems that they don't want me to know what exactly is happening. Ilang linggo ko nang ino-obsernahan si Thiara but her moves are so smooth. Wala akong makitang butas sa mga galaw niya, they seemed to make their operation ahead of time para maging ganito ka solido at pati ako, walang makitang butas. Tss, lets not mind it sumasakit ulo ko. Leche.

"Penny for your thoughts? Mind sharing whats inside it?" untag si Thiara sa akin kaya nabalik ako sa realidad. Ay tama! Muntik ko ng malimutan na magkasama kami dito sa bahay naming. 2 floored siya and its modern deigned. Sa first floor, nandoon ang sala, kitchen and a small theatre at sa second floor naman nandoon ang mga rooms naming at isang veranda at isang mini kitchen na may napakalaking ref.

"Oh, ah sorry this is nothing,"at ngumiti sakanya. She handed me an ice cream and smiled. I said thanks and I looked up to the sky. Nandito pala kami sa veranda, nagsta-stargazing. Trip namin eh, haha. Kain lang ako ng kain ng magsalita siya na di ko naman ikinagulat. She's Denise after all.

"I know what you're doing Meg," untag ko sa kanya, di naman siya nagulat sa sinabi ko. Hindi siya nagslita kaya nagpatuloy ako sa pagsasalita.

"Meg, you can't find any loopholes in me, I know you're searching for one. Please don't make this hard for me, I'm doing my best to keep you out of this so please. I need your cooperation," kasabay nu'on ay ang pagpatak ng luha ko. I looked up to prevent the tears that are starting to fall, ayaw kong nakikita niya akong umiiyak.

"Why are you keeping me out then? I'm no more a child you bitch. Am I making this hard for you? Are even out of your mind? I can handle things now unlike before so don't say those things like I can't handle anything. Cooperation, that's what you want right? Talk to the stars then, maybe they'll hand you what you want," malamig at direkta niyang sinabi. Liningon ko siya at tama nga ako, she's staring at me as if seeing my soul, my secret. I smiled at her, ganito ako eh. Nasanay na ponoprotektahan siya sa kaguluhan na dulot ng letseng pamilya at listahan. Siya kasi yung taong tinuring kong kapatid dahil wala naman akong kapatid na babae na mas bata kesa sa akin. Isa lang ang kapatid ko, mas matanda na nga kesa sa akin lalake pa talaga.

"Why am I keeping you out in the first place, I want to protect you. From whom, it doesn't matter. Yes, you're no more a child but for me you're my sister. We may not be blood related but I care too much for you and because of that I can't afford seeing you be like them nor seeing you hurt from the cruelty of our world. You are making this hard for me you silly brat; it's hard to move when you know someone's watching over your moves. In this moment, you can still say you can handle things but mark my words you can't," I said directly at her eyes. Those lovely orbs wasted too much tears. Those orbs that have seen too much of the things she could bear

"Give me some cooperation, Megan"

It was more on a statement and an order than a asking me to. She was commanding me to cooperate with her. After saying those words, she stood up and left me alone. She has always been like that; she wants to protect everybody she loves. She's a mystery to everyone, she's a silent sleepwalker. You won't know what's up in her leaves just like the other but I know deep inside that mysterious woman, hides a smile with so many tears and wounds. She doesn't want anybody to get hurt that why she makes herself as a human shield.

I looked up and lay silently at my bed, seeing the red and black colours at my ceiling. Im wondering how she can be as strong just like the Great Wall of China. I adore, idolize and love her in that way and I can't imagine myself wearing her shoes, maybe it wouldn't fit me.

Few minutes later, I closed my eyes and let the dark eat my soul.
