The Precious Daughter

Lizzy

I was trying not be sad sa pagalis nila Mommy at mga kapatid ko. I understand the reason behind it but this family means a lot to me already and not having them around brings pain whether I admit it or not. Ang tahimik ng bahay, Dad's at work. I'm fine when I'm at school pero paguwi sa bahay nakakalungkot ang sobrang katahimikan.

Kahit yong gwapong pagmumukha ni Trevor mylabs dina sapat mga Sis. Kaumay din pala. Syempre charoot lang.

Nakahiga ako sa kama ko at nagbabasa ng book when I heard gunshots. Madaming putok.

" Lizzy we need to go!" bigla nalang ako hinila ni Trevor saka sinuot sakin ang isang vest. " This is a bullet proof vest, this will protect you while we're on the move. Saka itong helmet. We need to go, Now!"

I don't have the time to argue, may naririnig padin akong putukan. Trevor ride one of the motorbikes, the one I like the most. Sabay suot ng helmet. Lakas makabad ass.

" Sakay Lizzy." again basta nalang din ako sumampa sa likurang bahagi ng motor." Hold on to me tightly." aniya saka niya pinaharurot ang motor.

As much as I wanted to enjoy the moment na makayakap siya ng ganito hindi ko magawa dahil sa mga pesteng humahabol sa amin at nagpapaputok. Can't they give me a break. Sayang ang moment eh.

Hindi naman nagtagal at naiwala sila ni Trevor. Sa bilis ba naman niya magpatakbo. Pati kaluluwa ko yata gusto na humiwalay sa katawan ko.

We made a stop sa isang liblib na lugar. Ang taas ng talahib. Safe nga kami sa mga goons na humahabol sa amin pero baka sa kamandag ng ahas at ligaw na hayop kami matuluyan.

Ginaya ko siya ng tinanggal niya ang helmet niya. I removed mine too. Then he called my Dad.

I heard him saying that I am safe, na may mga armadong lalaki na sumugod sa bahay. He told Dad not to go home for safety. He's here protecting me but who's going to protect my Dad?

He then handed me the phone.

" Elizabeth anak.."

" Dad..Okay lang ako." i know his worried sick.

" Thank God you are." he sounds like relieved. "I could never forgive myself if something happened to you. Best if you stay with Agent Alonzo, I know you will be safe. Trevor will never wish you harm anak. Listen to him, okay?" I sighed...

" Okay Dad. How about you? Will you be okay?" I can't lose him.

" Nasa kampo ako Anak, I'm surrounded with hundreds of military men. Mas inaalala kita."

" Dad, sina Tita Eula ba ang may kagagawan ng lahat ng ito? " she must have something to do with this mess.

" Sindikato anak which involves her. I warned her many times pero hindi sila nakikinig mag asawa. I thought they stop a long time ago. Until recently I was informed that they are part of a much bigger group of syndicate. Matagal na pala silang under surveillance. " tama pala ang narinig ko.

" Why would they involve in this illegal things Dad. Hindi ba nila iniisip sila Bethany?" What would happened to them kapag nakulong sila?

" Clearly they don't think about them Lizzy. They only care about money. Lulong kasi sa Casino ang Tito Jayson mo, he must be the main reason for all of this. They must have known alam ko na ang totoo and they want to use you against me. I'm sorry at nadamay ka pa sa gulong ito. I'll do my best to settle this anak. Just be safe for now, please. I'll follow up your papers para makaalis kana rin ng bansa. "
