"It was you..." River said, still looking at me in shock. I took off my earpiece and threw it at the ground.
"River..." I called.
"H-how?" he asked.
"I have my reasons," I answered.
He just shook his head before turning back, starting to walk away.
"River." I chased after him and held his arm. "Will you tell?"
He looked up and sighed before looking at me again. "I don't know."
"Just listen to me please," I begged.
"Maybe later. Hindi ko pa maproseso lahat ng nangyayari," sabi niya bago hinugot ang braso mula sa pagkakahawak ko. "I don't know who you are anymore," he said, looking directly at my eyes before walking away.
I massaged my head. Everything is so fucked up! This is not the life I imagined after getting in here. Who knew wanting to be part of this administration can be this risky?
★・★・★
"I don't know who you are anymore."
"Fucking hell!" I exclaimed before hugging my knees and closing my eyes. Ilang oras na ang nakalipas matapos makita ni River ang pagpatay ko kay Missy. His words kept replaying in my mind over and over. Mas nakakadagdag pa siya sa guilt na kumakain sa akin ngayon. I've been a bad person. I've become a person worthy of rotting in hell.
Akala ko magsasabi agad si River sa iba pero hindi. Wala akong narinig na kahit ano. Hindi niya ginising si Ridge or si Aria para ipaalam sa kanila na ako yung impostor.
Should I just surrender? Dapat bang tumawag na ako sa pulis at isuko ang sarili ko?
"Bakit ka ba nagsisisigaw diyan?" tanong ni Aria nang buksan niya yung door sa small space niya.
"It's nothing," sagot ko.
Lumapit sa akin si Aria at naupo sa tabi ko. "You don't look okay. Natulog ka ba?"
"Hindi ako makatulog," I answered truthfully.
"Bakit?" she asked.
I sighed. "Dapat na ba akong sumuko?"
I know she wouldn't get what I was talking about but I need an answer. Just one answer before I decide on whether imprisoning myself would be the best option.
"Sumuko saan?" Nangunot ang noo niya. "Kay River?"
I didn't answer but gave her a small smile instead.
"I guess, do what you think is right," she said and just like that, I already knew what I have to do.
Tumayo na ako at nagpaalam sa kanya na may pupuntahan. Naglakad ako papunta sa male quarters. Kailangan malaman niya kung ano ang desisyon ko.
"River, I– OH, MY GOD!" I yelled when I saw Ridge inside River's bunker with only his underwear on. Napahiyaw din siya. "Anong ginagawa mo dito?" I asked while covering my eyes.
