CHAPTER TWO
spark another ruins
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The sounds of chains was what woke me up. Bumalikwas agad ako ng bangon dala ng pakiramdam ng kadena sa kamay ko at hindi ko maiwasang hindi manlaki ang mata nang makita kung paanong ang kanan at kaliwang paa ko ay nakakadena sa isang gilid.
Maayos man akong nasa ibabaw ng kama ay agad pa rin akong kinabahan. The memories of what happened before I lose my consciousness went back to me and I can't help but shiver at the thought that that man might've done something to me while I'm unconscious.
Agad kong chineck ang sarili. Napahinga ako nang maluwag dahil wala naman akong may naramdamang mali. Aba! Dapat lang! Kasi kung meron ay baka ako pa maturingang baliw kapag napatay ko ang lalaking 'yun.
"Antonov." Banggit ko sa pangalan niya, "Antonov! Please! I'm from IMI! I meant no harm!"
The chains jingled when I tried to move but to no avail did that man come. Kahit ganu'n ay alam kong nandito siya at kailangan niya akong pakawalan dahil wala naman akong gagawin!
I groaned loudly. I never expected that in my line of work as a psychotherapist that I'll get myself chained like the same psychopaths I've been treating! Worst is he might end my life here!
No. He will not. He might be unstable but I believe that he needs to be understood. There are reasons for his behaviour. He might've attacked me for reasons I have yet to know and that's my job to find out... well, treat actually. But I want to do my own research.
"Antonov!" I called again, "I'm Solace Cerilla! I'm a licensed and professional psychotherapist, counselor, health expert! Agh! Just let me go! This is against my terms!"
Paulit-ulit kong sinigaw ang pangalan niya hanggang sa halos mawalan ako ng tinig. Bukod kasi sa may takip ang bintana ay malayo rin ang bahay na 'to sa dalampasigan at raya ng chattel kung sa'n maraming tao. Paniguradong walang may makakarinig sa'kin dito.
"You're so noisy, you know that?"
Agad na nalipat ang tingin ko sa pintuang halos bumalibag nang binuksan niya. Do'n ko nakita ang isang lalaking hindi 'ata marunong magsuklay sa tanang buhay niya.
His body is big, in average means. The soldier in him is absolute. Halatang pugpog ng gym ang katawan niya. Even his features are sharp. His eyes are hooded, his brows are uniformly thin, his lips are averagely thin at bagay na bagay 'yun sa matangos niyang ilong. His cheekbones are defined as well as his jaw. Para kang nakatingin hindi lang sa isang modelo kung hindi sa isang dapat mong sambahin.
Salubong ang kilay niya't halatang hindi nagandahan sa pagsigaw ko pero hindi ko 'yun pinansin at itinaas lang ang kamay kong may kadena.
"What in the world do you think is?" I groaned at him, trashing the bothered part of me, "This is absurd! You already choked me to death and now, you want me chained?!"
He scoffed, "I still don't trust you."
Halos pumalatak ako sa inis, "Just check my license card! I have every documents in my bag to prove my identity!"
"I know. I saw it. I went through your things," He said as he ran a hand through his hair, "But the same ones who tried to kill me also have those. That's why you're chained. For my safety."
