Thank you for reading, rosas ♡

"That's a nice color but I think it won't fit the design of the shop. Another."

Kasalukuyan kong inaayos ang bagong design ng shop ko. I just feel like making small changes dahil mas dinadayo na ang Nivia's Fairytale.

Pumipili ako ng magandang kulay ng shop. I want it to be aesthetic pink since the interior of my shop screams pink. Ang pangit naman kung black sa labas.

"Why not try to put pink and black together?" Suggest ni Diana.

I pursed my lips. "Babagay ba 'yon?" tanong ko.

"What, Madam?" tanong naman niya.

"Ay... English pala dapat. Uhm... I was asking if pink and black would look good together. Pink is quite girly yet black is so manly. Do you think they would fit together?"

She smiled a bit. "Why not investigate? Besides, you're still making designs for now. We can add my suggestion if you like the output."

Tumango ako. "Alright. Let's get inside and investigate."

Agad kaming pumasok sa shop. Kinuha ko ang laptop ko saka nag-search sa Pinterest ng mga pictures na pink and black aesthetic. Natuwa naman ako nang makitang sobrang ganda nga ng output.

I smiled. "Alright. Let's paint the shop with black and pink."

She smiled. "I'm a fan of Blackpink that's why I suggested it. I didn't know you would actually but it, Madam."

"I don't care if you weren't serious about your suggestion. But I'm buying it. You're suggestion is great and it happened to beautify our shop. So, go on and call someone who is willing to paint our shop."

"How about someone who will design? Should I call someone as well?" she asked.

I shook my head. "No. Don't. We will design the interior."

Tumango siya. "Alright. Copy, Madam."

Saka siya pumasok para siguro tumawag na ng pwedeng magpintura sa shop. Nagpaiwan ako sa labas habang hawak ang sketchbook ko. I was drawing some designs on my sketchbook na magandang ilagay sa labas ng shop. I even draw plants kahit hindi ko trip ang mga halaman.

I was in the middle of sketching when I felt a cold thing on my temple. I slowly looked at the thing and my eyes widened when my eyes met a man wearing black and a mask. Only to find out that the thing touching my temple is a gun.

I felt my blood went cold. I immediately felt my heart hammered. I could feel my body shivering.

"O-Oui?" Nanginginig kong tanong.

"Give me your money. Don't scream or I'll pull the trigger." Banta niya.

Nanginginig na tumango ako. He signaled me to move inside the house.

"Hurry. Don't even try screaming or you'll see what I'll do."

Agad akong pumasok ng shop ko. Nanginginig ang mga tuhod ko at hindi alam ang gagawin.

Nang mapansin siguro ng lalaki na humihina ang lakad ko ay tinulak niya ako. "Hurry up."

"Yes, yes."

Oh God, keep me safe! Keep my employees safe! I puffed a breathe.

Ino, where are you? I silently prayed. How I wish he's here to save me?
