Seryosong nakaupo si Rex sa kaniyang swivel chair. Nilalaro ang shuriken na nasa kaniyang kanang kamay.

Tumunog ang teleponong nasa loob ng opisina niya. Kaagad niyang inabot iyon at sinagot.

"Good day," bungad sa kaniya ng nasa kabilang linya. It was Zeiner.

"Why?"

"I need your help," peke siyang natawa sa narinig. Prince Zeiner Caviezel was asking for his help? Kailan pa ito humingi ng tulong?

"And why do you think I will help you?" pang-iinis niya rito. Binagsak niya ang shuriken sa lamesa at nag-focus sa pakikipag-usap dito.

"I'll give you anything you want."

"I have anything I want because I have money. Wala ka nang puwede pang   ibigay sa akin Zeiner."

He heard him chuckled.

"I know something that you cannot buy..."  Umayos siya nang upo at naging seryoso. What is he talking about? Ano pa ba ang hindi niya kayang bilhin?

"'What is it? Ano ba ang gusto mong mangyari?"

"About your girlfriend..."

Natigilan siya. May kung anong galit at pagluluksa ang bumalik sa kaniya nang marinig iyon.

"You didn't know where's your girlfriend, aren't you? Hindi mo alam kung sino ang kumuha sa kaniya? Oh, I almost forgot, she's not your girlfriend. Hindi ka nga pala nasagot."

He remained silent. His hands formed into fist.

"There's no justice for her. But I have something for you, Rex. Alam ko kung sino ang kumuha sa kaniya. Help me and I'll tell you all that I know."

"How did you know? Are you... part of it Zeiner?! Ba't hindi mo sinabi noon pa?!"

"To tell you honestly, nito ko lang din nalaman. Alam kong mapapayag ka sa impormasyong ito."

Kinalma niya ang sarili. He run his fingers through his hair.

"Okay, tell me what you know and I'll help you."

"Good... I'll tell you about what I wanted first."

Tumikhim ang lalaki sa kabilang linya.

"It's about Emmiel's daughter... I have no time for that fucking daughter of him. I'm busy finding my sister. But finally... I have found them. I know you'll be a big help. Please give her to me or it's better if you will make her trust you... His daughter will be his downfall..."

"Which word in the dictionary is spelled incorrectly?"

I know what I will do right now is a sin. Hindi ko lang talaga gustong makatanggap nang kung ano mang punishment.

"Denice, can I know the answer? Just for this number..." Kulang nalang ay hangin nalang ang lumabas sa bibig ko. I am afraid that our teacher might hear me. Isa pa ay istrikta iyon at namamahiya.

She whispered back the answer. I almost thank her loudly for that. Mabuti at napigilan ko ang sarili. Hearing her answer makes me realized how stupid I am. Hindi ko talaga naisip ang sagot na iyon.
