Hinayaan ko na lang siya. Nakita ko yung hawak-hawak ko at yung nakasulat dito naalala ko si Klio kaya siguro ako umiiyak ulit ngayon, nilagay ko na lahat ng information sa notebook pati mga important cellphone numbers na binigay sa'kin ng lalaking 'yon. Maya't- maya ay biglang pumasok si Mommy sa kwarto.

"Leyra, how's your day?" tanong sakin ni Mommy.

"Nothing good." buntong hiningang sabi ko.

"Why? Is there anything wrong? May masakit ba sayo? Is there something that bothers you?" tanong niya ulit.

"Wait chill Mom, ano to Q and A? You're stressing my amnestic brain." pamimilosopo ko kay Mommy.

"Lady! I'm serious. Is there anything wrong?" pagtataas ng boses nito and dude she's really serious. And, because of that naging seryoso na rin ako and show her what I always wanted.

"I want justice," I insisted.

"Here we go again, Lady! I already said NO. How many times should I tell you that!?" she exclaimed.

"I have amnesia." napabuntong hininga nalang si Mommy

"NO." She grabbed the notebook and right it down.

"Now I hope that's clear to you," she added.

"Please, Mommy." pagmamakaawa ko sa kanya

"Leyra, please stop this! I already lose your Dad, your memories, I can't lose you anymore, so please." mangiyak ngiyak na sabi ni Mommy.

"I know you're worried, Mom. But the shadows of my past hunts me everytime I remember Klio's name." pagpapaliwanag ko kay Mommy.

"But we're not in Las Haciendas anymore," she said.

"What do you mean?" I asked her

"After what happened to you, I decided to move us out from Las Haciendas for our safety, specially for you."

"Where are we?" I asked again.

"In the city."

"Is it far from Las Haciendas?" pagsabi ko iniba ni Mommy ang sagot.

"Just leave it to us. The Atticus still do their best to give justice to Klio's death."

"As far as I remember, Atticus are powerful so it means they have so much connections but why can't they give justice to Klio?" Ngayon nag iba na ang awra ni Mommy, naiinis na siguro 'to sa kakapilit ko.

"If that's the case the murderers must be powerful too. Las Haciendas rule, power over power. So please, Leyra," she said and then leave me with so much curiosity again.

Napahiga nalang tuloy ako sa kama. Maya't-maya naisipan kong i-search ang location namin at kung gaano kalayo ang Las Haciendas dito. Ayon loading na, malalaman ko na rin nang biglang nagblackout ang phone ko at ayaw na gumana. Pambihira, I love my life! Kung kailan ba naman kailangan. Buti nalang gumagana pa rin ang utak ko kahit bobo ako at nagka-amnesia, kinuha ko mga photos sa cabinet at hinanap yung picture ni.... ayon Doctor. I used the Telephone to call him. It's ringing and he picked up.
