It's dark in here. I was blindfolded. I feel a sudden discomfort. It doesn't seems right.

"Take off your blindfolds." I heard the voice of this man speaking. Tinanggal na namin ang blindfolds namin. Now we are in a room, looks like a library, so many books at lahat ng mga gamit ay antiques, there is also paintings. I looked at the surroundings since it's big, there's also a wine cellar. And, there's a huge tapestry hanging on a wall on the center with a 'La Caza Al Risiota' weave on it.

"Where Am I? Why am I here?" I asked this people inside of this room. Medyo nag hysterical na rin ako. I don't remember anything. Everyone is looking at me now.

"WHY ARE YOU GUYS JUST STANDING RIGHT THERE? SOMEONE ANSWER ME!" I shouted, at habang nagpapanic ako may bigla akong nasagi na babae at natumba siya.

"SHIT! WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?" sinigawan niya ako

"I'm sorry." konsensya kong sabi sa kanya at may kinuha siyang bottle of wine sa wine cellar, she opened it and binuhos niya sa'kin. Napatigil ako bigla. Kumuha ulit siya nang isa pang bottle at akmang ibubuhos sa'kin ng biglang may humawak sa mga braso niya at pinigilan siya.

"She said sorry isn't that enough?" I looked at this man, who just saved me from this trouble, he looked at me for a seconds while he was holding this woman's wrist and our eyes met and he turned back to this woman at kinuha ang hawak nitong wine at ininom. Everyone just looking at him finished half of that bottle of wine. Pagkatapos niyang maubos 'yon, nilapag niya ito sa table.

"It's Chardonnay. These wine's pretty expensive. Why wasting it? Rich people really don't give a damn. It's because you can pay and buy another one. Everything that has a price may not valuable to you. But, everything that money can't buy has the most value. And, this woman is priceless which means she has value, and she's more valuable than this wine. You don't use money when it's priceless. I'll tell you a respect costs zero. But, I think you should also buy that." He savagely smiled at the girl. Natahimik ang babae at hinila ako nitong lalaki papunta sa gilid, sa book shelves banda. Everyone just looked at us.

"Are you okay?" he asked and used his hands para punasan ang mukha ko at ang buhok ko na basa since wala siyang nakapa na panyo sa bulsa niya.

"You shouldn't be here." He added and gave me his coat since naka sequin dress lang ako. Medyo wala pa rin ako sa sarili kaya hinayaan ko lang siya. He looks familiar but I can't remember anything.

"Who are you?" tanong ko sa kanya and he looked at me seriously, he looks mad.

"Leyra, I am Kriogri Lanieri, your Doctor," he said.

"Kung alam ko lang na ganito ang gagawin mo, I shouldn't gave you that information. Where's your camera? The photos and your notes?"

"I can't remember anything," sabi ko sakanya. I can see the disappointment in him.
