I slowly opened my eyes as I felt the warmth of the sun caress my face, napapikit ako ulit dahil sa sobrang liwanag ng paligid. I turned on my side, opposite direction on where the sun's light is coming from--- unti unti kong binuksan ulit ang mga mata ko.

For some reason, I felt something that I thought was crushed and vanished a long time ago, since they dragged me in this hell hole.

Hope.

I actually feel freaking hopeful as soon as I opened my eyes. And I think I know the reason on why I feel this way.

Mate.

Someway somehow... kapag natapos ang lahat ng ito-- kapag nakawala ako kay Anito, I can actually visualize myself being with him, living a simple yet happy life. At the moment that vision actually gives me hope.

My lips slowly curled into a smile, just the thought of him brightens up everything.

Pero agad ding nawala ang ngiti ko nang biglang magbukas ang pintuan, iniluwa niyon si Anito.

I immediately sent him a death glare, panira ng umaga. Nako, wag nya akong sisimulan--- kakadilat lang ng mata ko bubuysitin na nya kaagad ako.

"Looks like I ruined your morning, too bad this is not the only morning that I will ruin in the near future."

He just had to open his annoying mouth? Why can't he just shut the fvck up?

Even if I want to reply a one of a kind comeback, I stopped myself--- not wanting any argument to arise, I just rolled my eyes at him.

"What do you want?" I impatiently asked.

"You need to improve your combat skills more."

I raised my left eyebrow at him, hinhintay kung ano ang susunod nyang sasabihin.

"I'm going to train you, or at least I'm going to hire someone to train you." Seryoso nyang sabi.

Hmmm, I can use that to my benefit one day, kapag mas naging magaling ako sa pakikipaglaban mas malaki ang tsansang mas maipagtanggol ko ang sarili ko at makalaya mula kay Anito.

"Okay." I merely said, he stared at me for a second. Siguro inaasahan nya na tatanggi ako sa sinabi nya, agad din naman nyang binawi ang tingin nya.

"Good, you're going to start at exactly 10:30 a.m, go to the training grounds immediately as soon as you ate and took a bath, wear something comfortable."

Pagkatapos nyang sabihin iyon ay agad din syang lumabas mula sa aking silid.

Napagisipan kong kumain muna bago ayusin ang sarili ko, naghilamos lang ako at nagsipilyo--- agad din akong dumeretso sa dining area.

Pagkarating ko roon hindi ko maiwasan ang pagiinit ng aking pisngi, tandang-tanda ko kasi ang nangyari dito kasama ang mate ko. Pakiramdam ko tuloy masyado akong nagpakita ng kahinaan sa kanya, hindi ko kasi mapigilan ang sarili ko. Sa susunod mas magiingat na ako.

Nagkataon namang nandito ang chef, itinanong nya sa akin kung ano ang gusto kong kainin.

"Chocolate Chip Pancakes with whipped cream and maple syrup, and a mug of green tea--- unsweetened."
