"I can't digest all the information you said, Hestia." Umupo si Creed sa baitang ng hagdan.

"Naniniwala ka ba sa'kin?"

"We're in a book? And I'm a character in it?"

Tumango naman siya.

"You are Creed Cervantes Nightsville. The second lead of the story. It was written years ago with my favorite author. And in that story I. . . I mean Hestia is bound to die." Pagkwento niya rito.

"To die? But why?" Kunot-noong tanong ni Creed.

"Because she is the villainess of the story. She did treacherous things in order to obtain her so called love or I mean obssesive love to Lucian," sagot naman niya rito.

"What? I think this is ridiculous. Joke time ba to, Hes?" Pagkumbinsi nito sa sarili.

"I wish I'm joking now, Creed. But that was the plot of this story."

"Kung ganoon paano ka napunta sa katawan niya? Where is Hestia?" Sunod-sunod nitong tanong.

"I don't know. I was in the verge of death. My house was burning. . . All I want is to live. Maybe my strong will to live lead me to these world. Or maybe I was in a state of comma now and I'm dreaming. Since sobrang adik ko rito sa storyang ito na ilang beses kong binasa. Maybe. . .these was all a dream."

Hindi nagsalita si Creed para bang dina-digest nito ang lahat ng mga sinabi niya. Tinitimbang kung paniniwalaan ba siya o hindi.

"Creed, hindi ako nagbibiro. You know Hestia, she's your childhood friend. Am I acting like the old Hestia? You know the answer. You know I'm not lying,"

"I believe you,"

Tumayo si Creed at tiningnan siya sa mata. "I do," saka hinawakan ang kaniyang dalawang braso.

"Creed, I need to return in my world."

Huminga ito ng malalim. "I'll help you,"

Hinawakan nito ang kaniyang kamay saka siya hinila pababa sa hagdan.

Nagtungo sila sa parking lot kung saan naroroon ang kotse nito. Pinagbukas siya nito ng pintuan ngunit tiningnan lamang niya ang binata.

"Hop in," utos nito.

"Saan tayo pupunta?" Tanong niya.

"Just hop in," muling utos nito saka iminuwestrang pumasok na siya.

Nang makasakay ay sumakay na rin ito saka pinaandar ang makina.

"Saan ba tayo pupunta?"

"May kilala akong manghuhula. Baka matutulungan niya tayo,"

Natawa naman siya rito. Sa hitsura niya ay may kilala siyang manghuhula? Wow, hindi niya akalain.

"Tell me about your world," wika nito habang naka-focus pa rin sa pagmamaneho.
