Bungad sa akin ni Janice pag baba ko sa staircase ng bahay na pagmamay-ari niya. Mayaman rin naman kasi ang pamilya ni Janice pero hindi sya tied sa business ng mga ito dahil noon pa man ay napaka independent na nitong tao.
"Morning"
Bati ko naman sa kanya. Hindi ko mapigilang mag inat sa harap ng glass door na sa labas ay makikita ang mga halaman, at masuyong tumitirik ang araw papasok sa loob.
"Coffee?"
Tanong nya.
"Ako na."
Sambit ko at nilampasan sya saka dumiretso ng kusina. Pag pasok ko ay nakita ko ang ibang maid na abalang nag luluto.

I said then took an apple from the table at kinagat ito saka naglakad pabalik sa hagdan para umakyat sa kwarto ko. "Where are you going?" Tanong nya habang nakaupo parin sa couch ng napaka laking sala. Tinanggal ko sa bibig ko ang apple at saka sumagot. "In my room. Hihiga." Sagot ko naman. It's 3 pm already pero I'm still wearing jammies. Sobrang lamig kasi dahil sa bagyo. So I fee

I can feel my heart beating again. I feel so alive and warm. But despite this warmth ay nakaramdam ulit ako ng pain. It hurts that I didn't apologize, it hurts na hindi ko sya kinausap ng maayos. It hurts now, that I told her all those disgusting things that I said about her. I cannot contain all this pain so my tears started to pour out.Bakit ka ganyan Rosa, bakit mo ako pinapatawad? Why do you always have to be the kind one? Ah, right. Because I am the Black Sheep. Hah! Now I can see it."Hmmm"
