"I'm sorry if you feel like I betrayed you," paghingi ko ng paumanhin kahit alam ko sa sarili ko na wala naman akong ginawang masama sa kanya.

Big-time na talaga siya! Halos isang taon na rin mula nang huli kaming magkabalitaan. Ganoon din siya sa akin, kaya noong matapos kaming mag-almusal, todo palitan kami ng kuwento tungkol sa naging buhay namin. I only told her the safe parts of my story. The call center job, the bankruptcy, and how I ended up broke. Hindi ko na sinabi ang tungkol kay Rev. Wala akong balak, sa totoo lang.

"Tawagan na natin ang mga magulang nito at humingi tayo ng 2o milyon. Siguradong ibibigay agad nila 'yon kapalit ng anak nila," I resisted giving up in spite of the suffering and terror. I almost lost my consciousness. I am aware that I must maintain my resolve and not allow them to break me. Even if my body was damaged, I held on to my sense of self. I was covered with blood, too much blood. I get lashes from them. I really thought I'm going to die and honestly I was ready at that moment.

Nalaman nila ang tungkol sa nangyari sa amin ni tito kaya siguro iniisip nila na ganoon akong klase ng babae, parausan lang. Hindi lang do'n nagtatapos ang paghihirap ko. Paminsan-minsan nagpapakita sa 'kin si tito. He kept on reminding me with the past. He became obsessed with me. But, I didn't let those things stop me. Pinili ko pa ring mabuhay sa kabila ng mga nangyari. Kasi iniisip ko na, nandiyan pa 'yong kapatid ko, naghihintay at umaasa sa 'kin.
