Sometimes people say that a name is just a name. But it isn't. To people like us, a name is either a connection, or a throne. A power that can be taken away, so we must protect it with all our might.
In my case, it's a connection. The scarlet thread that I found to put pieces altogether. A crucial piece of evidence in my unending search for the truth.
Bumalik ako sa park kung saan ko unang nakilala ang tatlo. I over-analyzed everything. I thought about the chronicles of their appearance in this place. First was Steff, then Lovi, and Jaqueline. Nothing made sense until I found a very important information. The thread that connects me to them.
My name.
It is indeed the chronicles of their appearance. But backwards. Una palang binigyan na pala ako ni Cindy ng hint, na one way or another, babaliktarin o pagtataksilan nila ako. I just need the missing puzzle piece to find it out. Thanks to the clumsy woman who successfully flirted Chase for a shortwhile.
"Jaqueline, Audrey, oh Maricar is missing."
Tama nga ako na maaaring hideout nila ito.
Nakasilip ako sa isang maliit na bintana at nakita kong nagtatalo ang dalawa. To be more precise, nagagalit si Audrey kay Jaqueline.
What a sight.
Naramdaman ko na mayroong malamig na dumampi sa aking batok. Napangisi ako dahil doon.
"You shouldn't came here." Rinig kong sambit ng tao sa likod ko. Tumawa ako ng pagak.
Dahan-dahan ko siyang hinarap. Lumantad saakin ang mukha ni Zachery. Hindi ko na makita ang ningning sa kanyang mga mata sa tuwing nakikita niya ako.
It seems as though he loathes seeing me.
Does he really?
"Go on, kill me." Sambit ko at inilapit pa ang sarili sa punyal na nakatutok saakin. Bigla niyang ibinaba ang punyal na kanyang hawak. Sinundan ko iyon ng tingin.
"You can't kill me, can you?"
"Can you, Zachery?" Nabitawan niya ang punyal tapos ay bumuntong hininga.
Sandaling kumirot ang aking ulo nang tignan niya ako sa mata. Ganunpaman, nilapitan ko siya. Hinaplos ko ang kanyang mukha.
"What's your deal, hmm?" Bulong ko sakanya. Hindi pa rin siya kumikibo at nakatitig sa aking mga mata. Why does he kept on appearing everytime? I made him choose, and he chose to betray me. So what's the point of not breaking our eye contact?
He's so confusing.
"Trying to get the best of both worlds? You know chasing two girls will only make you lose one." Binigyan ko siya ng isang ngiti.
"I'm trying to lose one, to win one." Sa wakas, nagsalita na siyang muli. Tinignan ko ulit ang kanyang mga mata ng mas mariin. Then I found the lingering lust in his eyes.
"Just lose me, Zachery. You know you can't comeback anymore." Sabi ko sakanya at lumayo na. Lilisanin ko na sana ang lugar na ito nang narinig kong mayroong sumigaw sa likod ko kung kaya't napahinto ako sa paglalakad at lumingon.
"Agatha!"
Napangisi ako sa nakita.
Hawak ni Zachery si Audrey sa buhok at nakatutok ang punyal sa kanyang leeg. Matamang nakatitig si Zachery sa hawak niyang bihag ngayon.
