Trapped With Them

Chapter 33

Seinna

I let out a silent sob as I finish my business. Naghugas ako bago nagpunas ng tissue. I was very careful with every move that I make. Nang matapos ay dahan dahan akong tumayo.

Nilapat ko ang isang palad sa malamig na tiles bago dahan-dahang humakbang. I could feel the soreness of my hips and legs.

Nanginginig ang mga iyon habang hunahakbang ako.

Masakit din ang pagkababae ko. Ramdam ko rin ang hapding hindi pa naaalis kahit pa tapos na ako sa pag-ihi. I didn't expect the stinging pain I felt a while ago while I was peeing.

Literal na naiyak ako sa sakit at hapdi. Ano ba talaga ang nangyari sa 'kin? I'm getting frustrated by not knowing the answer why I'm like this!

Nagsimula akong makaramdam ng inis sa kanila. Why wouldn't they want me to know? I have a right! This is my body! I'm in pain!

Umiiyak kong binuksan ang pintuan ng bathroom.

"Oh, babe tapos ka na--"

"What really happened to me, Avi? Please tell me? A-Ano ba talaga ang nangyari sa 'kin?"

Natigilan siya. I looked at Ali and Azi who was frozen in their spots. Lahat sila ay natigilan at hindi makasagot sa 'kin. Agad tumayo sina Ali at Azi nang makitang umiiyak ako.

"Baby.."

"Bakit ba ayaw niyong sabihin sa 'kin?"  I looked at them one by one.

Halata namang may tinatago sila mula sa 'kin. Mas lalo lang akong naghihinala ng masama tungkol sa nangyari sa 'kin.

Bakit ba ayaw nalang nilang sabihin? 'Di ba magkaibigan kami? Friends don't hide secrets against each other. Maliban nalang kung napaka-importante sa kanila iyon at sa 'tingin nila'y mas mabuting hindi nalang iyon ipagsabi para sa katahimikan ng lahat.

Lalong-lalo na kapag wala ka namang tinatapakang ibang tao.

" 'wag kang umiyak, babe, please? Stop crying."

"Not until you tell me." Pinunasan ko ang luhang pumatak.

Nagkatinginan sila at ayon na naman ang pakiramdam na nag-uusap sila sa pamamagitan ng mga mata nila. They're as if debating something in their minds.

Tumango si Azi bago sila sabay na tumingin sa 'kin. Si Avi ang nagsalita. He has a scared and nervous expression on his face and I can't help but to feel anxious because I finally got to know what really happened to me.

Malalaman ko na.

He breathed in before he speaks, "I'm sorry, Sei. We're sorry."

Kumunot ang noo ko, "Why are you sorry, Avi?"

"Sorry dahil.. hindi ka namin nabantayan ng maayos." aniya bago nag-iwas ng tingin.

Napatitig ako sa kaniya, "bakit? Ano ba ang nangyari?"

His face suddenly became cold, "the bottled water you drink, it's not a normal water, Seinna."

I got frozen on my spot. Ano? I suddenly remember the girl in the comfort room.

Naalala kong binigyan niya ako ng tubig. The fantasex water. Pinilit niya akong tanggapin iyon kaya tinanggap ko.

Ano'ng ibig niyang sabihin?

"Not a normal water?"

Bumuntong hininga siya at dinilaan ang pang-ibabang labi, "the water has a mixture of sex drug. It's for those people who wants to strengthen their libido and get wild with their partner. The moment you drink it, it takes a few minutes for it to finally effect. You will feel the so much heat. You will be in so much need. You will crave something to be filled inside you. It will drive you insane and all you wanted was to be pleased. Nakakawala iyon sa tamang pag-iisip. And when you woke up in the morning, you will not remember anything about what happened to you when that water finally invade your system. That's one of the effects of the drug."
