"What?" Damn. He's talking riddles. I don't know what he's talking about.

"Signor Gustavo was surprised of what happened" pag-iiba nito ng topic.

"Then?" maybe he wasn't surprised at all. He knew all along that it would happen but he just pretended that he was surprised. Clever act.

"Well. He thought you need a series of challenges just to show what you can do" I don't know how it happened it's just that I am now comfortable talking with him. We talk like nothing happened last night.

"You smiled," he said while looking at me. Damn. Did I? I don't know.

"Yes of course I know how to smile," I answered looking at the door. I feel my face heat up. Damn. Now, what's this?

"You should do that more often" napatawa ako ng bahagya sa kanya.

"Tell me how can I manage smiling or laugh when I am a prisoner here?" I said sarcastically. Napakunoot-noo naman ito sa sinabi ko.

"You know that's not true," he said.

"Of course! How will you understand me when you like this kind of shit!" I mumbled. Now I'm cussing.

"You were just blackmailed. You can always escape if you wanted to but I think you mustn't " the heck with this guy! Magsa-suggest siya tapos babawiin din lang!

"You know what we'd better sit. I'm tired" hindi ko na siya pinasalita at agad nag martsa papunta sa upuan namin. Binati ako ni Harper but I didn't answer her. I feel intoxicated and poisoned by the situation. Damn. I need a break. And just like that situation changed. Am I being too hard on him?

Damn. My situation is difficult than dealing with logical questions. I am about to go to the buffet table to get some food when my head is aching again. I can see trespassers and they're heading to a laboratory building. Napahawak ako sa ulo ko at agad umupo. Who are they?

"Hey! Are you okay?" Harper holds my hand. Tumango lang ako. I need to go there and know who they are.

"I need to go to the bathroom" itinuro naman nito and likod ng buffet table. I just said thanks at naglakad na papunta dun.

Iniingatan kong hindi makagawa ng ano mang pansin habang naglalakad. I don't know if Mr. Torrecili knows about those people. Damn. Bakit kailangan kong pumunta sa delikadong lugar na yun? Nakalabas ako ng gym ng walang nakakapansin saken. I walk towards the green meadows kung saan walang makikitang ilaw at tanging liwanag lang ng buwan ang nagsisilbing ilaw ko. Nakarating ako sa isang masukal na parte ng kagubatan. At the entrance I saw a sign 'Prohibited' pero dahil wala akong pakealam nagtuloy-tuloy akong pumasok.

I didn't mind the aching sensation of my ankle because of heels. Kinuha ko ang nakalaylay na damit at hinawakan ito. Hindi ako makagalaw ng maayos because of my gown. Damn. I can only see trees, plants and flowers. This is dangerous. You can only hear the sound of birds, whistled leaves and smooth waves. Nanuot sa balat ko ang lamig ng biglang humangin ng malakas. Creepy meadows. Nagmadali akong maglakad hanggang makarating ako sa gitna ng gubat. Then I heard steps. Nakarinig ako ng kaluskos at yabag na papunta sa dinaanan ko kanina. Nagmadali akong puntahan yun. I only see thier shadows. Sino sila? At anong kailangan nila sa lab? Damn.

"Binibini masyado ng gabi para gumala ka pa" I was literally stunned upon hearing a voice. Hinanap ko ang nagmamay-ari ng boses but to no avail. Damn.

"Ang isang katulad mo ay dapat na sa bahay at nagpapahinga na lang. Kumusta ang pagtitipon binibini?" His voice is playful.

"Who are you!" sigaw ko sa kanya. At alam niya ang pagtitipon. Now who is he? I keep looking on my sides pero wala talaga.
