Slowly, I opened my eyes. Where am I? Nakidnap ba ulit ako?
"You okay?", said the familiar voice.
"Flay!", I instantly hugged her. She hugged me back. So hindi ako nakidnap. Thank Goodness!
"What happened?", she asked.
"She's asking too much.", said Jeon. Andito din pala siya.
"And he's a terrible liar.”, Flay shrugged.
"Where's Manang Mira?", I asked.
"Nagpapahinga na siya sa kabilang kwarto. Nakita namin siyang nakagapos sa cabinet.", Flay replied.
I gasped. "They're so cruel!"
"Yeah. Uhm, what happened exactly? Muntik ka ng makidnap. Pinuntahan ka namin dito para yayaing magmall pero ang naabutan namin, yung chakang lalaki, buhat buhat ka. I quickly punched him. Unfortunately, he's smooth so he escaped."-Flay
"It's because she's not a good puncher. If I were her, that man will surely wake up in jail."-Jeon
"Oh shut up Piggy!" She said as she rolled her eyes. Piggy? Matakaw ba siya? Parang hindi naman.
She looked at me and crossed her arms. "Now, explain."
Hindi naman siguro masamang sabihin ko sa kanya ang lahat. She's my bestfriend afterall. So I told her everything, hanggang sa nangyari sa Pool Party at ang pagiinterrogate ko kay Mikaelle.
"You did that?!" Flay and Jeon said in chorus.
I shrugged. "I want her to know that I'm alive. She does not need to pretend as me." I looked at Flay. "Naniniwala ka ba sa mga kinwento ko? Na ako ang totoong Mikaelle Valliere?"
She stared at me for a moment. She took off my eyeglass. She sighed and smiled. "Unang meet pa lang natin napansin ko ng malaki ang pagkakahawig niyo. Then, magaan na agad ang loob ko sayo."
"You sounds like my mother.", I teased.
"BUT!! I need one more proof!"
I raised my eyebrow. She grinned and started tickling my ears. I laughed loud.

They decided na sa condominuim unit muna ako ni Jeon patirahin. Para daw safe. Kila Flay sana kaso wala siyang sariling condo. Sa Mama tsaka Papa niya pa rin siya nakatira. Hindi na din nila ako pinapasok sa school. Sige lang, kayo magdecide para sa buhay ko. Tsk. Pero sobrang nagpapasalamat pa din ako sa kanila dahil hindi ako nakidnap. Ayoko ng maulit ang pangyayaring yun. Tama na ang minsan. I remember the man who was shot by his comrades. I shivered in fear. Ayokong managinip ng nakakatakot kaya nagbasa muna ako ng book bago matulog.
