The sun is so hot and we just arrived at Zeeb's mansion, again. Ang tahanan niya kung saan ko ito pinuntahan.


"Welcome back, baby Audrey." Nakangisi ng nakakaloko ang mukha nito.


"Anong baby Audrey ka diyan? Umayos ka nga!"


But he just shrugged it off and laugh. He took my suitcase from the car.


We were greeted by his maids. Nana Magda and her daughter Mina. They helped him carry our luggage.


"Magda, did you prepare the room?" Zeeb asked her.


"Opo." Sagot naman nito saka tumingin sa akin si Zeeb at kumindat.


"You're creepy." Saad ko dito sabay irap.


I cannot believe that I was convinced to come with him. Miminsan na nga lang ako mabigyan ng leave, kasama pa ito. But despite knowing who he really is, I feel safe. Is this normal? Or baka may trauma ako dahil sa nakaraang mission? Oh wait, baka nga! Baka nga depress ako! Pero hindi eh... My heart beats abnormally whenever his near. Yung kabog sa dibdib na hindi nerbyos. What is it?


Natigil ang pag-iisip ko ng magsalita itong muli. Hindi ko namalayan na nasa second floor na pala kami.


"Come in. This will be our room." Ani nito.


"What? Anong 'our room' ka diyan?"


"You hear me right, baby Audrey."


"Tsaka, 'wag ka ngang mag baby sa akin. Ang astig astig ng trabaho ko, e baby mo lang ako?"


He laughs again.


"Also, I am not sleeping with you in this same room." Sumimangot ito.


"Why? We had a deal, remember?"


"Even so."


"I can't believe you, Audrey. Scammer ka pala."


"What?"


"Was I scammed by you? We had a deal. Liars go to hell, Audrey."


"Aba't! Tinatakot pa ako sa impyerno ha."


He laughed. "Come." Saka pumasok na ng tuluyan sa kwarto.


I am mesmerized by the beauty of his master's bedroom. It is a serene oasis of white. The walls were painted a crisp, clean white, which contrasted beautifully with the rich, dark wood of the furniture. The king-sized bed was dressed in white linens, with a fluffy white duvet and a plethora of soft white pillows. The bedside tables were also made of dark wood, with white ceramic lamps on each side.
