"Maj? Where are we going? Seriously?" Natatawa ako kay Pris habang iniilawan ko ang daan.
"Just shut up, okay? 'Di ba gusto mo nang magpahinga? Kaya we're going home." I smiled when I saw the familiar passage.
Lagi naming dinadaanan 'to ni Jill kapag gusto naming pumunta sa playground noong mga bata pa kami.
"What are we doing here?" Lars asked.
"Naku, Jacquiline. Lagot ako sa daddy mo at kay Nilda nito, e." I hugged Nang Gemma.
"Nang, si Carlo ang bahala. Right, Carlo?" Nag-fist bump pa kami ni Carlo.
"Jacqui, kasya ba kayo dito?" He asked while removing the lock.
"Uhhhh. I don't know." Tinignan ko sila Shaun at Greg.
Mukhang hindi sila kasya. I sighed.
"They can climb the wall. Shaun and Greg?" Carlo looked at them.
"Yeah, we can. Just push us up. You'll help us, right?" Carlo nodded.
"Jacquiline, mag-iingat kayo ha?" Niyakap ko si Nang Gemma at Carlo bago pumasok sa maliit na pinto.
"Oh my gooosh! I feel so filthy in here!" Pris screamed out.
"Arte! You can wash up when we arrive home." Lara said while holding the flash light.
"Grabe! May daan naman palang ganoon. You should've told us earlier!" Lara said while drying her hair.
"I almost forgot about it, really. Your place's nice, huh?" I stood up to check my room.
It's an apartment with three bedrooms. Sakto! I sat on my bed and read every single message mom has been sending me since we left the mansion.
"You think it's something about business? Or maybe they'll ask you to date someone?" I laughed.
"What? Some kind of a blind date?! They're not fans of those." Pris sat beside me.
"What will we do then? We should be booking flights now." I turned off my phone.
"I really don't know. I'm absolutely sure I won't make it out of the country. Lalo pa ngayon. Tumakas ako." She sighed.
We've been staying here for quite a long time. I think its our third day here. Wala na kami halos magawa. It's just six pm and I'm just lying on the couch and reading some glossy mags.
"Beer?" Lara showed up with a Heineken.
"Aish! You know what, let's just party. I know a place." I said and stood up.
"Let's book a flight back to Cali na kasi." Lara suggested.
"Even if I make it out of the country, wala pa rin akong takas." I pressed my palm against my forehead.
"At least, you won't see him. You won't see them." Hindi ko na nasagot si Lara.
Who knows. Baka may mga guard na doon na naka-abang sa amin. That's not impossible. I know Sir Don well.
"You're mom's calling." Pris handed me my phone.
We're here at Getto. I don't know where I got my angst to enter Getto. Alam ko namang madalas sila dito and baka makita ko pa sila. Minsan talaga ako rin ang gumagawa ng sarili kong problema, e.
"Pick it up, bitch!" Lara ordered me while ordering some drinks.
"I won't, okay? Bahala silang mabaliw. I'm thinking if I should just change my number? Para wala silang contact sa'kin. Para mas mabaliw sila sa kakaisip kung nasa labas na ba ako ng bansa." I laughed and drank my tequila.
