"Let's go this way." Hinawakan ko ang palapulsuhan niya at hinila siya pabalik sa kung saan kami nagpunta kanina.
"Doon na tayo lumabas sa kabila para makita ko ng buo 'yung lugar," pagsisinungaling ko habang hinihila siya.
"But we've been there already---"
"I forgot to take a picture of some paintings."
"MADAM!" I heard Camille shout. Oh gosh.
Binilisan ko pa lalo ang paglalakad.
"Are you in a hurry?" He asked while laughing at me.
"Anong oras na kasi pero nandito pa rin tayo. Let's go to our second destination. Ikaw ang mag-decide kung saan tayo pupunta."
He smirked. "I guess you're challenging me, huh?"
"Parang gano'n na nga. Just don't make me regret this, okay?"
"You won't, I promise. This will be a day you'll never forget"
"Madam Iris!" rinig kong sigaw na naman ni Camille. "Madam! Saan ka pupunta? Tumatawag na po ang nanay mo! Madam!"
David suddenly stopped. Nilingon ko rin si Cams ngunit nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang lapitan siya ng mga guards. She argued with them as she struggled to speak in English.
"Hala. Anong meron? Mukha namang wala siyang ginawang masama ah," worried na sambit ko.
"Hindi kasi dapat siya nagsisisigaw dito sa loob ng museum. It's one of the rules. And she's being hysterical."
I bit my lower lip as I saw her cry. She's even looking at me, asking for help. Parang natatakot siya kasi pinalalabas na siya ng mga guards.
It took a lot on me not to walk towards her, and explain to the guards that this was all just a misunderstanding. Given my power and wealth, it'll be easy for me to sort this out.
But I stood still and watched her like a mute. I knew that this was my only chance to get rid of her and everything that was keeping me from being free. Kapag hindi pa ako umalis ngayon ay hindi na ako makakalayo pa sa kanila.
I turned my back on a friend that I've always trusted. I'm sorry for betraying you, Camille.
Kinuha ko na ang phone ko mula sa bodybag ko at in-off 'yon. Then I smiled at David and pretended as if nothing was wrong. Now, I can be whoever I want.
"Saan tayo pupunta?" tanong ko sa kanya.
He smiled and handed out his hand. "Can't you trust me?"
Should I trust him? I don't know...
Should I go with a stranger in a foreign country? Definitely not.
But today, I chose to be stupid.
I'll risk my life just to get a glimpse of what it feels like to not have boundaries.
If I end up being dead, at least I get to experience pure happiness.
"I trust you." I held his hand and grinned.
