Sam P.O.V

Kakatapos ko lang kumain sa isang restaurant sa mall at ngayon ay naglalakad na ako papunta sa isang spa malapit sa mall na pinuntahan ko.

Umabot hanggang sampung minuto na paglalakad nung pumasok na ako sa spa. "Good morning, ma'am." sabi ng babae sa counter.

"Ah, good morning rin. Mag papamasahe sana ako."

"Okay ma'am. Yung massage chair ba oh yung employees namin?"

"Yung massage chair na lang." ayaw ko kayang may humawak sa katawan ko.

"Okay ma'am, please follow me." sumunod ako sa kaniya at pumasok ito sa isang room punong puno ng massage chair. May tatlong nagpapa masahe at nabawasan ng isa nung umalis ang lalaki sa kaniyang upuan.

"Dito po, ma'am." next to the exit ang upuan ko at may katabi itong walang laman na massage chair.

"Ilang oras, ma'am?"

"Ah, isang oras at kalahati." sabi ko at umupo na ako. Inalis ko na yung hills ko, watch, at bracelet.

Nung natapos na niyang e set ang time dun na gumalaw ang massage chair. May mga parang bola sa likod ko, yung mga kamay ko ay parang pini-press ng mga plywood at ganun din sa mga paa ko.

Yung leeg ko at balikat ay minamasahe ng parang neck pillow. "Ahhh." I moan in content of relaxation.

"I really need this." minuets pass then a man use the empty massage chair besides me.

Not paying attention, I just still close my eyes while keeping my alert high in the surroundings. "Ahhh." I moan again, and that is the time the man besides me start talking.

"You still have time to relax huh?" a familiar but mystic voice enter my ear. I don't know where I heard it but its familiar to my ear but to my mind. It's like a myth that my brain would believe or not.

"Mmm." I just hummed, still, my eyes are close. Not paying attention at the man beside me.

"Do you not remember me? Or heard my voice? I'm sure you know me... Samantha Mercado."

My eyes bursts open then look at the man talking to me. As a surprised, the man besides me is unexpected.

To all men I could meet, he was the one the universe give me. "Adrian!"

"Yes. I can't believe you, you still have a chance to relax." he said, then sit comfortably at his seat.

"You have the guts to see with me." as the blood boils within me. I stop my self from doing something regrettable in the future.

"Its just a coincidence."

"Nothing is a coincidence with you around." I said, the relaxation I was feeling before was gone now.

"Have you crack it yet?"

"No. Your clue is pretty tricky. I don't understand you." I said then compose my self to feel that relaxation I keep wanting to.

"Alam mo. Ang password na nilagay ko diyan ay tungkol sa 'yo. Hindi isang himala kung alam mo ang password, dahil alam mo na 'yun. Kung nakalimutan mo na 'yun, kailangan mo bumalik sa dati mong buhay para malaman 'yun." sabi nito habang pumipikit.

Nakatingin lang ako sa kaniya. Nakikita ko ng mga maitim na pumapalibot sa kaniyang mga mata at kung paano gumalaw ang kaniyang mukha sa galaw ng upuan ay doon din makikita na nasasarapan ito. "You look tired."

"Yup, been much more busy this year."

"Dahil ba sa mga FBI at private organization?" tanong ko.

"Yeah." he open his eyes then look above. "Those bastard start attacking. We already started attacking them. I give your father a location for you to raid. It's also from the higher ups and elders."

"Why are you doing this?"

Tumingin siya sa akin. "We have the same enemy now. We should help each other to be able to win."

"No, not that. I was talking about why you give me that flash drive. It's all about my sister and Glen... right?"

"...Yeah."

"Why you did it?"

"It make things easier. For us and for you. I know you don't believe just that without evidence so I gather all info I must have and then send it to you."

"But why! And what is it that make it easier for you and for me?" I was shouting from the top of my lungs and good thing the two civilians are deep asleep so they can't hear that much and the room is sound proof by the thick walls it have.

"It's better if you see it first then confront me for questions. I give you my number and go to the place I give you." the machine stop at his then rise up. I just look at him while he took my bag then place inside a small rectangular paper.

"It's my calling card and the place you will meet me. Call me when you already saw it then that is when you can ask me question." he said then left.

"Wait!" he stop. "It's all about Glen and sister right? At least tell me that it's all about them."

"Yeah. You better think hard when that time 'it' died." that's his last word then left without a trace.

I look at the timer and their is still almost half a minute left. I sigh then wait for the timer to stop.

As the timer hits zero I stand then walk out to the room. I walk to the counter then paid up. "Thank you for choosing us to relax, ma'am." tumango lang ako at ngumiti bago umalis.

Umuwi na ako habang yung mga balikat ko ay parang nalalaglag. I should have a relaxable day. But I only get more things to think.

"So. How is it?" tanong ni Trisha na nagkabanggaan ko sa hallway.

"It was... okay." I said then she frown.

"Hindi success ang day off mo?"

"No, success siya. May panira lang kasi ng mood na dumating habang nagrerelax ako." sabi ko at kinamot yung ulo ko.

"Pero okay ba?"

Tumango ako. "Yeah."

Iniwan ko na siya at pumasok na ako sa silid ko at humiga sa kama ko. Pilit kong sarili kong malibang pero wala talaga. Ang isip ko ay nandun parin sa sinabi ni Adrian sa akin.

I'll get my revenge when this is all over.
