"Do-do you wa-want to p-play with m-me and Momo?" Itinuro ko si Momo na hawak hawak ko na naghu-hug sa aking chest.

He nodded.

"W-what do-do you wa-want to p-play?"

"Whatever you like," He finally said a thing. We will play with my other barbie dolls.

"Okay," Tumango - tango pa ako at lumapit sa kanya. I looked up at him again. And he's really, really tall. I reached for his hand. Samantalang ang isang kamay ko ang humahawak kay Momo.

He gripped my hand tightly as we headed for the front door.

I coughed. Several times that I almost choke. Pakiramdam ko may bumara sa aking lalamunan upang hindi ko magawang huminga. It was finally removed and I coughed on the process. Hinang - hina ang buong katawan ko sa pagod. My energy was drained that I can't even lift a finger. Gusto ko lang manatili sa naturang posisyon.

My eyes were closed for a moment before I decided to open them. It was met with the rays of sunlight and a pair of green eyes. My face was inches away from Mr. Petrovich. Matamang nakatitig ito sa aking mukha habang kunot na kunot ang noo. Magkasalubong ang makakapal na kilay. His defined jaws, his lips and pointed nose. What a gorgeous scenery.

There was something in his eyes, aside from its beautiful color, it was a mixture of emotions I didn't get to see often.

"H-hi." I tried to say. My voice was weak but enough to be heard. Ilang ulit akong kumurap. Napapaso ako sa kanyang mga mata.

His breathing became steady. Pinasadahan niya ako ng tingin habang hawak ang aking pulso.

"You're okay..." he whispered. Agad na bumalik ang passive ekspresyon niya sa mukha.

"Y-yes. What happened?"

Tumingin ako sa palibot. I was lying in sand beads. Rinig na rinig ko ang paghampas ng alon sa dalampasigan. And the breeze, it smelled like summer in a beach.

Agad akong naalarma, sinubukan kong maupo mula sa pagkakahiga sa buhangin. Hindi ito epektibo, mas lalo akong nanghihina. Suot ko pa rin ang damit na naalala kong suot ko kagabi.

With a swift move, Mr. Petrovich lifted me up to sit on the sand. Halos dikit na dikit ang katawan naming dalawa. Ngayon ko lang napagtuunan ng pansin na wala siyang suot na pang-itaas. His muscles were flexing right in front of my very own eyes. I can't help but feel the electricity going on in our bodies. Was it supposed to electrocute the both of us? Bahagya ko siyang itinulak papalayo.

"T-thank you..." I said softly.

Mula sa likuran niya, mayroon siyang kinuhang gamit. Hindi ko makita ng diretso ang kanyang ginagawa sa pag-iwas ko ng paningin.

Tumikhim ang lalaki. "Here is your baby, I got him for you."

My mouth formed an O-shape with the sight of my baby monkey. "M-momo!" sigaw ko. Agad kong kinuha ang alaga ko sa posisyon ni Mr. Petrovich. I was happy to care with anything else. I hugged it tightly.

"I missed you." Relief flooded my soul seeing Momo back in my arms. Unti - unti nang bumabalik ang alaala ko sa nangyari.

A fight broke out. I shivered as I recalled the gunshots, the bombs and probably the dead people in the yacht. Naalala ko rin si Voight, sana ligtas ang makulit na bata. Someone pushed me in the water before the yacht was eaten by fire. Ang buong akala ko iyon na ang huli kong sandali.
