NATAPOS ang maghapon na hindi man lang kami nakapag-usap ni Aeron, I'm not going to ask him to talk to me.

The dark starts envading the light. It was now completely night.
Naupo ako sa kama at kinuha ang cellphone ko.

No texts. No missed calls. Napabuntong hininga ako sa napagtanto ko. I shouldn't stay here any longer. I have to make a move for me to get out of here.

If I can't use Aeron as an asset. Then, I'll take Leandro instead.

Halos mapasigaw ako nang mamatay ang ilaw. Brown out.
Sumilip ako sa bintana at wala ring ilaw sa mansyon. I just used my phone as a flashlight.

Napag desisyunan kong lumabas para pumunta sa mansyon pero nakakatakot ang daan. Madilim at tahimik.
Nakarinig ako ng kaluskos mula sa labas. Bigla akong kinabahan, tumayo ako at sumilip sa keyhole pero wala akong nakitang tao sa harap ng pinto.

I reached my phone to call for someone who can go here but there's no signal. Kinuha ko ang high heels ko  na may 6 inches at saka pumwesto sa likod ng pinto.

The doorknob was now moving. I gulp for a second time.

It must be Aeron. I tried to calm myself and think of Aeron. But damn,kung si Aeron nga ang nasa labas hindi nya tatangkaing pumasok sa loob dahil mag bebell muna ito. At isa pa, may duplicate ito ng mini house ko.

Nakatinggin pa rin ako da doorknob na pilit binubuksan. Para bang may kung anong kinakatikot roon. Mas lalo akong kinabahan ng unti-unti nang bumukas ang pinto.

"Witch!" I shouted and starts attacking the man in front of me.

"Damn. S-Stop! Aw! It hurts. Stop!" I heard a familiar voice.

Napahinto ako nang hawak nya na ang braso ko.

"Aeron" I called his name.

"It's me. Don't be scared. " he said and held my arm and guide it to put it down.

Tinapat nito ang flash light sa mukha nya. Nakahinga ako nang maluwag.

"What are you doing here? You scared me. Why don't you knock first?or use the bell instead?" I asked.

"I'm sorry If I scare you. I didn't meant to. I'm just here to replace your light" he said.

"Hold it" anito at inabot ang flash light sakin.

Hinila nito ang upuan at saka tumayo roon. Pinihit nito ang lightbulb at saka iyon pinalitan ng LED light.

He press the light's fuse open and the room filled a light.

"There" he said and step out to the chair.

Napatinggin ako sa noo nitong dumudugo.

"Y-your forehead" I stammered.

Napatinggin ako sa hawak kong high heel. Sira na ang takong nito.

He held his forehead and I saw the blood on his hand.

"Gosh. I'm sorry. I didn't meant to hurt you." Sabi ko at saka lumapit sakanya.

"You already hurt me Lei." He said almost in whisper

Kinuha ko ang first aid kit at saka pinatong iyon ss kama.

"Stay still." I said guide him to sit down on my bed.

Kinuha ko ang bulak at saka ang alcohol. Kinuha ko rin ang betadine.

What should I do? I don't how to clean the wound. Sometimes, I feel like I'm useless.
