Kiara's POV
Kasama ko ngayon sa tent sina Annie at Dylan. Bakas sa mga mukha nila ang sobrang lungkot.
"Tita, babalik pa po ba si Mommy?." Naiiyak na tanong ni Dylan.
"Oo naman. Magtiwala ka lang. Kaayo. Hinahanap na sila ngayon. Malay nyo baka bukas andito na sila."
"Teacher, possible po bang magkasama parin po sila ngayon? Sana naman nasa mabuti na silang kalagayan."
"Of course Annie. Sila pa. Pareho silang strong woman, malamang humahanap narin sila ng paraan para makapunta dito."
Sa totoo lang hindi ko narin alam kung anong iisipin ko. Walang kasiguraduhan na mabubuhay pa sila dun sa trahedya.
Pero sana lang ligtas sila pareho.

Diana's POV
"Di nyo ba narinig ang sinabi ko? I said brush your teeth and wear the black and red rubber masks na nasa loob ng drawer. Kung gusto nyo talagang makalabas pa diyan ng buhay, you'd follow my orders." Command ng Lady boss. Hindi naman siguro mahirap gawin yun kaya dali dali namin yung ginawa. I wore black while the latter wore red.
Matapos naming gawin yun ay umupo na kami sa kama. Nakita ko na may dalawang CCTV sa room. Isang nakaon at isang nakapatay since walang ilaw na nagbiblink.
"Now what?." Sabi nung kasama ko. Ano ulit pangalan niya? Yeah right, Frances.
"Pagsapit ng alas 8 ng gabi, the two cameras automatically shuts down kaya you have to do the show before that happens." Sabi ng Lady Boss.
"What show ba yang pinagsasabi mo ha?."
"I don't like your attitude but anyway, malalaman nyo narin. Just listen to everything I say. And the obedience test starts in 3, 2..1."
Napatingin kami sa isang screen. Parang isang timer. Napalagok kami pareho ni Frances. I have a bad feeling about this.
"Face each other ladies.." sumunod lang kami.
"..from now on, I'm gonna call you red and black. Don't worry, the next instructions won't hurt any of you."
"Siguraduhin mo lang talaga." I told the Lady Boss.
"Of course Black, you can trust me. I'm not as bad as you think I am, I just want a show. Now Black, fix Red's hair by slowly stroking it with your fingers." Ano ba talagang plano ng impaktang to?
Sunod lang Diana. Do this to save your life and to be with Dylan again. The time is 7:22pm. So the time of the cameras turning on is 7:15pm. And nakapatay yun before and after that.
"Black stop. Good. You're playing this game just right. Now kiss her on the lips.."
"What the heck?! Are you serious?!." Reklamo ko.
Ngayon ko na ang pinapagawa at ipapagawa pa niya samin. That reminds me of something.
FLASHBACK
Nasa office ako at tinatrabaho ang mga dapat kong tapusin na report for this month's sales rate nang sinabi sa news na,
Hindi parin natatagpuan ang kuta ng usap usapang leader ng mga sindikato na nagsasagawa ng mga pornographic material gamit ang mga kinikidnap nilang mga biktima bilang sex slaves at iba pa. Nakalabas naman ng ligtas ang mga naturang biktima after their deal with the suspects at sinasabing..
Biglang pumasok ang secretary ko.
"Ma'am Diana, pinapatawag ka po ni Sir Gino sa conference room." Kaya ayun pinatay ko na ang TV at lumabas na.
EOFB
"You! Ikaw yun. Ikaw ang hinahanap nilang leader ng mga sindikato sa news. Napakababoy mo!. Sa oras talaga na makalabas kami dito--"
"KUNG makakalabas pa kayo dito. Pinapaalala ko lang, hawak ko ang mga buhay nyo. Isang pindot ko lang sa button na hawak ko, patay kayo wahaha. Kaya sige na. Give me my content and I will spare your lives."
Napatingin ako kay Frances. Hinawakan niya ng mahigpit ang kamay ko.
"Gusto ko pang makita ang anak ko. Please--" Pagmamakaawa niya.
Pano ba kami napasok sa ganitong situation? Hayst bwisit! Ayoko pang mamatay. Hindi pwede. Hindi ko pa nagagampanan ang tungkulin ko sa anak ko.
Napaisip ako. Hindi rin naman nila siguro kami makikilala dahil sa mask na suot namin. Ang dapat lang talaga naming tandaan at iwasan ay ang mabanggit ang pangalan ng isa't isa.
"So, pwede na ba kayong magsimula?. Naiinip nako. Back to the top, in 3 2 1--action!."
Dahan dahan kong inayos ang buhok niya. Stroking it with my fingers to build the expected sexual tension.
"That's nice. Kahit anong mangyari wag kayong lilingon sa camera. Black, Red connect your eyes. Black, stare down at Red's lips. Yes, just like that. Stare back to her eyes and then slowly and surely close the gap between your lips." And so we did. I felt how our lips slowly touched, how sweet and gentle it is before it started moving in synchrony.
Yeah
Breakfast at Tiffany's and bottles of bubbles
Girls with tattoos who like getting in trouble
Lashes and diamonds, ATM machines
Buy myself all of my favorite things
At that exact moment, I feel like I am suddenly deaf. Parang hindi ko na naririnig ang bawat salitang sinasabi ng Lady Boss, and blind for closing my eyes because of how good this feels like. I shouldn't feel good about this but I kinda feel like it.
Yeah
Been through some bad shit, I should be a sad bitch
Who would have thought it'd turn me to a savage?
Rather be tied up with cuffs and not strings
Write my own checks like I write what I sing
My wrist, stop watchin'
My neck is flossin'
Make big deposits
My gloss is poppin'
I suddenly felt Frances' hand aggressively holding my neck, grabbing me closer like she wanted more. Then she sat on my lap wrapping her arm around my neck holding my head. Is this part of the instructions too?
You like my hair?
Gee, thanks! Just bought it
I see it, I like it
I want it, I got it
Yeah
I want it, I got it
I want it, I got it
I want it, I got it
I want it, I got it
The Lady Boss spoke as if she was the devil whispering the things I shouldn't do but I'm doing it anyway.
I let my hand enter in between her robe taking off her bra just like what I was instructed to do. How is this activity making me live?
You like my hair?
Gee, thanks! Just bought it
I see it, I like it
I want it, I got it
Yeah
Wearin' a ring but ain't gon' be no "Mrs."
Bought matching diamonds for six of my bitches
I'd rather spoil all my friends with my riches
Think retail therapy my new addiction
Whoever said money can't solve your problems
Must not have had enough money to solve 'em
They say, "Which one?" I say, "Nah, I want all 'em."
Happiness is the same price as "red-bottoms"
I slowly massage each of her breasts, looking at her pleasured reaction and soft moans. Is this seriously turning me on right now? Like wtf.
My smile is beamin'
My skin is gleamin'
The way it shine
I know you've seen it
You've seen it
I bought a crib
Just for the closet
Both his and hers
I want it, I got it
Yeah
I want it, I got it
I want it, I got it
I want it, I got it
I want it, I got it
Baby
