I came to realize that when I was choosing between death and life. Destiny was the one who always choose for me. My lives where limitless they say, But for the second time of my existance. I found something to look forward. After being isolated for the past years of my life.

I never found purpose on living. Simply being with him is my hope amidst of this chaos. Way back in the foundation, The thought of him forgetting me was aching deep within, wounding me. I haven't define it yet, But I known my feelings better than anyone else.

I blinked twice, My body was aching for two things. Him and a glass of water.

I woke up in a white room. Maliwanag at malawak ang kuwarto. Tanging malamig na hampas ng hangin mula sa air conditioned ang ingay na umaalingawngaw sa buong silid. There was a glass window and the door on the right corner of the room.

The sunlight was striking at the window. After the unfortunate events yesterday, Hindi ko sigurado kung sino ang nag-dala sa akin rito.. Ang tanging tanda ko na lamang ay nasa lungsod ako ng Orion kasama si Dallace.

I didn't bother going outside for the glass of water. I didn't bother sleeping again, or I don't even had the appetite to eat. For some reason, I was left vulnerable and without direction..

I was incapacitated by my own thoughts that is tearing my apart on the inside. Idagdag pa ang sakit na dulot ng aking sugat sa braso at tagiliran, dulot ito ng mga tama ng baril kahapon. It was deep and it felt like a bitch. Napapikit ako sa hapdi na dulot nito.

Matapos ng ilang segundo ay unti-unting pumihit ang sedura ng pinto at bumukas ang pinto. Dallace entered the room.

"Plano mo bang mabulok sa kuwartong ito?"  Ani Dallace.

I thought she was doing some errands. Dahil ngayon ay isa na siyang ganap na Executioner ng Korpurasyon. Tumalikod ako sa kaniya at humarap sa kabilang direksyon. But she seemed to take the situation lightly because she lay beside of me. Gumalaw-galaw pa siya at pinaglaruan ang ilang hibla ng aking buhok.

"You're hair are beautiful and soft. Natural ba ito?" Tanong niya sa akin.

Alam kong sinasabi niya lang iyon upang magkaroon kami ng conversation. Dahil mula pa man nang dumating kami rito ay hindi na ako tumapak lagpas sa pintuan ng aking kuwarto.

Umusog ako palayo subalit mas lumapit pa siya sa hinihigaan ko. I knew if I had a knife just under the bed, I would stab her in instant because of her naughtiness. I wished she would just stop and give me peace. Subalit wala ata siyang balak na tumigil dahil idinantay niya pa ang ang kanyang kamay sa aking bewang kaya't padabog akong umupo sa kama.

"What do you fucking want?" I angrily said. Masama ang tingin na ipinukol ko sa kanya.

Ngunit mabilis siyang ngumisi sa akin at lumakad palayo. "Looks like someone's on her period."

My forehead creased, "Tigilan mo ako Dallace." I said to her.

"There's someone who's looking for you."

Mabilis na kumunot ang noo ko.

"Who?" I asked.

We both know that people would never pay a simple visit for me.

"Come on, suit yourself and follow me downstairs." sagot niya bago tinungo ang pinto at iniwan itong bukas.

I immidietely followed her wearing a  flowy dress and a pair of strappy slippers. Nasa dulo pa lamang ako ng hagdanan ay rinig na rinig na ang mga tawa at tuksuan sa ibang bahagi ng bahay.

"Kamusta naman kayo rito Dal?" Boses ni Rylander iyon.

Kumunot ang aking noo. They were the visitors that Dallace was talking about?
