Life was crystal clear to her but the unknown forces that bind the world together were unknown to her. In fact, if Lucy Andrada was a goddess, she would be the Goddess of Wisdom.
Yet there was one thing that she didn't know. Why was she sent to Neg...

Noong namataan kami ni Lola at ni Mr. Reteracion, naputol ang pag-uusap naming tatlo. Tahimik akong nakinig noong napag-usapan nila ang tungkol sa trabaho.
Jyran meagerly listened. When his eyes darkened after looking into a corner where I could not reach him, I realized that he may be eager, but it was only for distraction. He was looking for a distraction, a cover-up for what has truly happened.
Sa kabila ng kalayaang binigay namin sa kanya, taimtim akong nanalangin na maibsan ang pighati sa kanyang puso.
Friday dawned much faster than I could recall. It was because I am busy with the preparations. I managed to secure the items we need during my travel from Manila. Because of Ces' help, I utilized most of the information we have collated.
Ces Altamiranez Bitch, update me!
Lucy Andrada Alright, I will.
Ces Altamiranez Promise me you'll come back safely or else, I swear to god! Ako na talaga ang magtutuplong sa pamilya mo kung ano ang ginagawa mo!
The rays of the sun glistened on my stone-cold reflection. Suot ko ang berdeng cargo shorts at puting shirt. Kumuha ako ng litrato saka ipinadala kay Ces. Sa paanan ng paa ko, naroon na ang bag ko.
Binitbit ko iyon sa ilalim. Noong sumulyap ako sa gilid, mariing nakatingin sa akin si Rosalyn. Walang bahid ng emosyon ko siyang tinunghayan.
I headed for the lobby and waited. A little later, a blue tricycle paraded in front of the mansion. Jyan parked it on the left side, and he got off.
"Magandang araw. Dumating ka," I commented upon his arrival.
Nakasuot siya ng puting T-shirt saka shorts. Dahil napag-usapan naming maliligo kami sa batis, bumagay kami sa pupuntahan.
Inangat niya ang kanyang titig at saka lumabi. "May pinag-usapan tayo."
I nodded. To think that I wouldn't allow him in his situation, and I already prepared for this. Hence, this would continue with or without his participation. Talagang ayaw niyang mabali ang pinangako niya sa 'kin ngayong araw.
When he lifted the heavy luggage I placed on the floor, I lifted my eyes when I heard heavy footsteps approaching us.
"M-Ma'am. . ."
"Yen," I warned.
Her hands were clasped tightly. She kept avoiding my gaze—our gaze, especially that Jyran's eyes narrowed. It was as if he was judging her. Before they could react, I walked forward.
"Ano pa ang hinihintay niyo? Umalis na tayo," himok ko sa kanila.
Jyran stiffened when he realized what was going on. "Ano'ng ginagawa—" he whispered.
Hinarap ko siya agad saka sinipat. "Jyran."
To his dismay that I have spared him no answer, he gritted his teeth. I threw him the keys to the car. He begrudgingly caught it with his free hand and walked past me. When he was out of the picture, I urged Yen to walk with me.
