Hinila nya ang kamay 'ko. Nasa strawberry farm kami. At nakakatuwang makakita ng mga strawberry na hindi pa nakukuha. It's still in it's low plant. Ito ang totoong fresh.

He looked at me as he pick a strawberry and raised his eyebrows.

"It tastes good."

I wonder why the guards let us pass the gate. We're strangers by the way.

"Hey! Stop eating that!"

He picked once more and handed it to me.

"Try it."

Umiling ako.

"Vincent, hindi atin 'yang kinakain mo. Stop it."

He laughed.

"Kilala mo ang owner ng  JB Group of Companies?"

I nodded.

"But I've never seen him before." Oo nga, bakit kaya?

He smiled at me.

"I think you did already." He said.

"What?"

He laughed.

"Nothing."

I nodded. Ayokong makipagtalo ngayon.

"Take this and eat. He owns this farm as well."

Kinuha 'ko yung strawberry at kinain.

"Isa lang ha! Kahit na! Hindi pa rin atin 'tong farm na 'to!"

Limang minuto na yata kaming nakatayo habang si Vincent, kuha lang ng kuha ng mga strawberry na nilalagay nya sa basket nya. Ang kapal din ng mukha nito eh. Ano naman kung kay Mr. Montereal 'to? Why is he asking like he's a near relative of his boss's, boss's boss? Uh. He's weird.

Lumingon ako and saw a large tree at my side, so I marched up the hill para makaupo. The sun is shining pero hindi mainit. Weird.

Umakyat sya dala-dala ang basket nya, inilapag nya yun sa tabi nya and continued chomping the strawberry.

"Timothy is coming by the way."

My eyes widened, kahapon ang unang araw na wala si Timothy sa tabi ko.. And it's actually nice. Ayoko na syang makita ulit! I can live just here! I can move on from him.. here

"What the hell, Vincent! I thought--" he laughed and looked at me.

"Ofcourse that's a joke."

I sighed. Buti naman.

"I'm taking you somewhere."

"Where?" I asked.

"It's a white beach near the place."

Parang sanay na sanay sya dito ah! Malamang Kai, he lives here. Ewan ko, there's a part of me na naniniwalang hindi talaga sya taga dito. Kahit na 'yung mga tao kilala sya.

"You'll take me there?" Tanong 'ko, he smiled.

"Ofcourse."

Tumayo sya, but I pulled his hands.

"What?"

"Thanks for taking me here."

(Vincent)

"Vincent."

A smooth voice called my name. It's Kylene. Sinindihan ko ang sigarilyo 'ko at pinaupo sya sa tabi ko. Ang weird nya. She's wearing a big blanket with her.

"Young---Kai. Bakit hindi ka pa natutulog?"

Her eyes were fixed with the shining moon, so I guess she's a fan of the night? She looks amazed at ngumingiti pa nga sya sa buwan. Is she some kind of wicked witches in the present?
