Chapter Nine

"You can stop crying now. You're safe."

Ilang beses na ata itong sinabi sa akin ni Isaiah pero hindi parin ako tumitigil sa pagiyak. At dahil hindi parin ako kumakalma, binuhat nya nalang ako para makasakay na kami sa Mercedes nya. I don't want to let go of him, so he just let me sit on his lap and I'm still hugging him while we're riding the car.

I don't know...I'm still scared, but when I'm close to him, I felt relieved and secured. I don't want to let go of him, dahil pakiramdam ko may mangyayari na namang masama kapag bumitiw ako sakanya.

I took a glance at Isaiah's face when he suddenly tap my back. He looked at me too.

"Do you want to sit properly now?" He asked while looking at my eyes.

I shook my head immediately and buried my face on his chest. Then, I remembered falling asleep, when I woke up, we've arrived at an unfamiliar place...but I feel like I've already been here before.

Buhat parin ako ni Isaiah hanggang pagbaba namin ng sasakyan nya. Then, we entered this ultra-luxurious private estate. A breathtaking foyer and sweeping double stairway greeted me as we enter. It's a Hollywood-inspired home with sophisticated and modern interior design. You can see the pool area from the window, there's also a garden full of Petunia flowers.

"Is this your house?" I asked, I'd finally stop crying. My eyes also started to feel swollen.

Isaiah looked at me for a moment before he nodded. "You've been here before...nakablindfold lang ang mga mata mo kaya hindi mo nakita."

That's right. Dito ako dinala ng mga tauhan nya noong unang beses nila akong kinidnap. Kaya pala parang pamilyar.

"Dapat doon mo nalang ako dinala sa hotel mo...Why did you take me here instead?"

"...to clean you up."

"What?"

Inakyat ako ni Isaiah sa second floor ng bahay nya at ipinasok sa kwarto na double doors. May nadaanan na kaming couch sa gilid pero hindi nya naman ako inilapag doon, pati ang kama ay nilagpasan nya. He carried me towards another door which is his bathroom.

"What are you doing, Isaiah?" Tanong ko dahil inalapag nya ako sa bathtub.

"I said I'm going to clean you up..."

"What? I can--Ah!" Bahagya ako napatili dahil bigla nyang binuksan ang shower, tapos sunod nya namang binuksan ang tub spout.

"What the hell are you doing?!" Sigaw ko. Hindi na ako makapagsalita nang maayos dahil sa bumubuhos na tubig sa akin.

I felt aggrieved as I watched Isaiah took the soap from the side. Then he wet the soap and started lathering my arms with it.

"Ano bang ginagawa mo, Isaiah?!"

"That fucker touched you..."

Napatitig ako sakanya.

"I need to clean the spots he touched." He added.

"But, why?" I paused when my chest throbbed.

I remembered what Kylo did to me. I almost got...My tears started to fall again.
