"Listen," he says with so much authority that made shivers of fear run down my spine habang hawak hawak niya ng mahigpit ang aking leeg. "When something makes me curious, I'll do everything para lang mahukay ko lahat ng bagay tungkol dito, hanggang sa kasuluksulukan nito, even if it means that I have to go through things." He says.
His voice was chilling, his eyes were intimidating, his hands were gripping my neck securely, hindi sapat upang putulin ang aking daluyan hangin ngunit sapat na upang masaktan ako, "What do I have to do with that!?" I tried my best to sound strong, though it didn't seem to affect him.
"You somehow... caught my interest," he says then smirks. "Now.. I'm gonna do everything in my power para halukayin ang buong pagkatao mo, alamin bawat hibla ng nakaraan mo at malaman kung bakit ka nandito." Then his face became blank as he slowly lets go of my neck.
Agad kong hinawakan ang leeg ko upang habulin ang hininga that I didn't notice I was holding. Di ko namalayang nakatalikod na pala siya, tatlong hakbang na ang layo mula sa akin.
"Then after that..." Nang akalain kong iyon na ang huli niyang sasabihin ay nagkamali ako. "Akin ka na." He finally makes his way out of the room, leaving my jaw dropped on the floor.
