"Stop crying and just answer my fucking questions Tesero."

Pigil ko sa babaing panay ang iyak. Napakaiyakin naman nito.

"Where am I? Are you going to kill me?."

Matapang na saad nya habang nakayuko padin. Napangiti naman ako.

"Feisty! Well, I am going to kill you if you're not going to answer my questions without looking directly in my eyes."

Seryosong pahayag ko habang hinihintay syang tingnan ako ng diretso.
Napaangat naman sya bigla ng kanyang mukha.
Kaya malaya kong napagmasdan ito.

Maganda.

Unang rumihestro sa aking isipan. Taglay nya ang hugis pusong mukha, maliit at matangos na ilong, mahahabang pilikmata na alam nyang natural ang mga iyon kahit may bahid ng luha. Mapula-pula din ang kanyang manipis na mga labi na para bang nang-aakit na mahagkan.

"From where are you? And why are you here in Sicily? And why are you hiding in my car's compartment?".

Sunod- sunod na tanong ko.

"Grabi, pwedi bang isa-isa lang Mister?."

Nakangiting saad nya. Bigla naman akong sumeryoso, nagkunyaring hindi ko sya naiintindihan.

"English Please."

"Haysss... Okay okay, First My name is Ana Carmen L. Sy. I guess you have seen my ID's already. 24 years old and from the Philippines Mister whoever".

"It's Maxillian."

Sabat ko sa kanya.

"Well,Mister Maxillian, I'm here for a vacation okay? I'm not a spy as what were thinking I am. I'm just a plain Chef and owns a small restaurant back in the Philippines, and as what I've said I'm just here for a short vacation and I didn't mean anything by hiding myself through your car's compartment when I heard some gunshots earlier from where your car parked."

"That's Bullshit! Do you think I would buy that?."

Bakas naman ang sobrang magkataka sa kanyang mukha.

"You mean... I'm lying here?."

"You have answered your question."

"Abnormal kaba? Do you think I'm that stupid not to tell you the truth? I don't want to die yet, my restaurant needs me, my friends would look for me and I have family to..."

Hindi nya natapos ang kanyang  sasabihin ng biglang bumalatay ang lungkot sa kanyang mukha sa huling mga sinabi nya.

" What should I do, for you to believe me?. "

Bigla naman akong napangisi sa sunod na naging tanong nya.

" Do you want me to believe you right?."

"Yesss?! And How?"

Nagtatakang tanong nya.

"Be my Wife Tesoro."

Bigla namang nanlaki ang kanyang mga mata.
Still beautiful.

"Gago kaba?
Mister Maxillian, I've already told you the reason why I am here. And I don't see any reason for keeping me here."

Lumapit naman ako sa kanya.
At bumulong sa kanyang tenga.

"You have 365 days to be my Wife...
It's not an offer, It's an order!".

Mataman nya naman akong tinitigan.

"Who do you think you are?
Please, bring me back to the Philippines."
