Kabado akong sumiksik sa ilalim ng kama ko... Hindi ko alam kung anong nangyayari sa baba, pero naririnig ko ang pag-iyak ng aking ina. "M-master... maawa po kayo... wala pa po talaga akong pambayad sa utang ko..." Aniya ng aking ama, nanginginig ang boses, habang umiiyak. Napatakip ako sa aking bibig nang biglang bumukas nang malakas ang pinto ng kwarto.
