#DAWKillMe
I had nothing to say. I was speechless, but the feeling of wanting to see him again rips my heart into pieces.
"I want to talk to him." I said.
"Hindi pwede. Delikado Venice!" Saad ni Mickey.
"Paanong delikado? He's just a guy who has an amnesia!" Akmang tatanggalin ko na sana yung dextrose na nakakabit sakin pero pinigilan ako ni Mickey.
"Stop it Venice. You can't and you should never meet him!" He warned, pero nagmatigas ako.
"No! If you don't want to help me then I will look for him and talk to him! Kailangan ko siyang makita ulit!" I cried.
But then for the first time in my life, I saw Mickey's face flared up with anger. Pulang pula ang mukha niya, sabay sigaw, "HE'S COMING AFTER YOU BECAUSE HIS MISSION IS TO KILL YOU!"
I was taken aback by his act. Nagulat ako at kasabay nito ang hindi maipaliwanag na pakiramdam. Mga tanong na hindi mapigilang bumuhos sa isip ko. How? Why was he trying to kill me? Who is he working with? Or is there even someone behind him?
But I made my decision. I'll look for him. Or if I can't find him, then I have to make him come to me. I know he'll come after me.

Before I started going back to school, Mickey and I decided na magdagdag ng bodyguards. Pero syempre, I knew I can't proceed with my plan kung maraming nakabantay sakin. So I laid down some conditions. The bodyguards will only tail me from afar and they will only be watching me when I'm outside the house. Kapag nasa vicinity na ako ng bahay, hindi na ako kailangan pang bantayan.
Mickey agreed, and so when I got home from school I immediately changed into and all black clothes. I wore black pants, black hoodie and black cap. Madilim na kasi and I am planning on escaping at midnight. Kaunting guards lang kasi ang nagbabantay sa gabi, the day time guards are asleep.
Tahimik akong naghintay ng tamang oras bago ako tumawid sa isang sanga ng puno mula sa bintana ko. Hindi ako magaling dito pero I was impressed by own natural skills. Mabilis akong nakababa.
I his myself behind the tree when a guard was doing his round around the area. Mahirap nang mahuli. I was desperate to see him, I need to see him.
I quickly wore my cap and hood para hindi ako makilala at dali daling tumakbo sa bakod sa side kung nasaan ang bintana ko.
Pagkatalon ko, nagulat ako nung may humawak sa baywang ko. I almost screamed but he covered my mouth.
"Sssshhh. You'll get caught." Then I knew who it was.
Dahan dahan niyang tinanggal yung kamay niya sa bibig ko tapos iniharap niya ako sa kanya.
"Henry?" I said. "What are you doing here?"
"I was walking, and was planning on visiting you and have a midnight snack with you," then he showed me a paper bag with snacks, "but then, I saw you. Hirap na hirap ka pang bumaba sa puno." Natatawang sabi niya.
"Ssshhh. Ang ingay mo." Then I started walking.
He quietly followed me. Pero dahil nga makulit siya talaga, he kept on asking questions.
"Nagpaalam ka ba kay Michael?"
"What are you doing?"
"Why did you escape?"
"Where are you going?"
"Ar--" I hushed him. Nakakainis na kasi, ang ingay! I was supposed to go alone but here he is, following me like he's a lost child.
