i yawned as i woke up from
my deep slumber as someone
knocked on the door of my
room. ❝ bakit po?❞ i asked as i
approach and opened the door.

❝ nauna na po sila funeral home.
pinapasabi rin po ni ma'am
vivian na sumunod na lang kayo.❞
the maid said with her head
down, i nodded as response and
thanked her before closing the
door.

i sighed as i went to the comfort
room and do my things. then i
reminisce all i did yesterday, making
me proud. ❝ if they think they're the
most cunning people, then i guess
they still don't know who i am.❞

after i dressed, i went out of my
room. i was about to went
downstairs when i saw the
door to their room. it doesn't
have yellow tapes like what you
see on crime scenes, since what
happened to him is an accident.
a planned accident.

i walked, approaching it slowly.
i avoid making at least a single
noise so they won't go here.
as i reached their door, i held the
door knob. i smirked and put my
other hand on my pocket where
the necklace is.

as i tried to open it, my smirk
faded and turned into a frown.

it's locked.

❝ ma'am, ano pong ginagawa niyo
rito?❞ i startled as i heard someone
spoke at my behind. i immediately
let go of the knob and smiled at
the maid. ❝ ah wala, i was just about
to check if aunt hecate is still at
here.❞

she eyed me with curiosity in her
eyes. ❝ ma'am, 'di ba po sinabi ko na
sa inyong nauna na sila?❞ she asked
with her index finger on her chin.

i crossed my eyebrows and act
like i was confuse. ❝ talaga ba?
siguro, baka nakalimutan ko lang.
masyado na kasi akong maraming
iniisip,❞ i said and scratched my
temple.

❝ naku, okay lang po iyan. kung
ako rin siguro yung mamamatayan
ng mahal sa buhay baka maloka
na rin ako sa dami ng iisipin ko,❞
she said jokingly with weird hand
gestures. i just smiled at her shyly,
good thing she believed at me.

❝ tara na po ma'am, baka hinahanap
na kayo ro'n.❞
