TRES

｡˚⛓˚｡⋆. TIFFANY

I stared at the camera I'm holding. Hindi ito maaari... How can I convince them when the evidence is not here? Pinagloloko ba kami ni Crow? Even my mouth was not enough to tell them of the real situation, tapos mawawala pa ang kaisa-isang bagay that will get us out of here.

But then, I remembered the words of someone I know.

We'll fix this decisively.

I almost scoffed at that. Gusto ko rin ito ipangalandakan sa mukha niya. Tingnan mo tayo ngayon? Para tayong mga manikang pinaglalaruan... And I'm at fault too.ㅤ

"Love..." Tawag sa akin ni Ares. I smiled at him and examined his face. Hindi naman siguro ikaw ang may kagagawan nito, love?

It felt so weird... That I even became wary of my boyfriend too.

"You keep staring at that camera," he pointed out. Of course, mapapansin niya. He is the father of the group, after all. "May alam ka ba rito? Is it familiar?"

I hope I didn't knew anything but you look like you know something too.

Umiling ako at pinagpatuloy ang paghahanap sa photo album. Ano kaya ang laman noon? Probably the slambook or diary Yves owned?

She liked keeping diaries so baka roon nakalagay kung ano ang mga nangyari sa kanila ni Achilles. Baka ayon na rin ang susi para ma-expose ko ang kababuyan niya.

Yves.

Oh, she was our sunshine.... The light of our days. I remember how Yves and Gucci were. They were almost inseparable and I knew it also broke Gucci when she died. Sila ang mga bunso namin. Well, pati si Zeus but he doesn't act like it.

Almost giving up on the search, pinanood ko nalang maghanap ang mga kaibigan ko. What Apollo hid on his pockets did not escape my eyes. Napakunot ang noo ko. He just made me suspicious of him.

I will find out about that.

At this point, akala ko alam ko na ang lahat ng nangyari. We're all the same pala. Lahat kami ay mayroong tinatagong sikreto sa isa't isa.

I stared at my boyfriend. Ano kaya ang sikreto niya?

I wanted to talk so bad pero I'm stuck with this. I feel so powerless. Dati, sa akin pumupunta ang lahat para sa mga problema nila. Pero ngayon, wala na akong magawa. Even if I'm the smartest, I felt like the fool now.

I then stared at one of them. Oh, I know your secrets so bad. Kung bibigyan lang ako ng pagkakataon, I'd gladly expose the secret immediately. Dumi mo lang ang gusto kong ilaglag dito.

Pero tama ang boses na nasa isip ko. I should act carefully.

Nalulungkot ako... Na ganito ang inabot ng barkada namin. We were so happy, we were each other's safe haven. How I miss Yves and Achilles so bad too. Gusto ko lang naman maibalik ang dati.

However, it seemed like we were all broken way before that happened.

Hindi ko rin maiwasang mapaisip. How many and how deep are the secrets were we hiding from each other?

"Tiffany." Lumapit si Hermés sa akin kaya napangiti ako para i-acknowledge siya. "Can I see the camera?"

Tumango ako at binigay sa kanya ang camera. Pinanood ko siyang suriin ang bawat parte noon pero hindi siya nagsasalita sa mga naiisip niya.
