SIMULA
Nagising ako sa kwartong hindi pamilyar sa mga mata ko. Gumapang ang kaba at takot sa dibdib ko. Hindi kaya na-kidnap ako?
Sinapo ko ang noo at napailing sa sarili. That's too absurd, if I get kidnapped then I should be dead right now and my sabotage body was already spread all over the internet!
Iginala ko ang tingin sa kabuuan ng kwarto. Literally, this can't be a kidnappers den. O kaya'y nahihibang na ako para isiping na-kidnap nga ako. Ngunit parang may ideya na ako sa nangyayari ngayon and damn him if my hunch was right!
I tiptoed as I walk out from the bed, dala ko ang comforter na nakabalot sa'kin kanina, thankfully i am still fully clothed. Patunay na walang karahasang nangyari sa nagdaang gabi. Yun nga lang wala akong halos maalala sa mga nangyari, all I can remember is that I've totally passed out after some wild dances and of course the effect of hard liquors given to me by my friends!
I walked through the balcony of the condo, mataas na ang araw. That's when I realized I was literally in a condo on top of the tallest skyscraper in SJC! The chilly wind caressed my face. Napapikit ako. The cold wind kinda comforted me. Oh how I wish to end this all, I really wanted to solve the problems made by my own parents, but how could I do that if I had nothing already?
Pero kailangan kong harapin ang hamon sa harap ko. Life isn't all about happiness, it has some plot twist containing sorrow and pain.
Afterwards I decided to check the condo's front door but it's lock, that's a guess that I have no escape here, I couldn't even find the keys nor some things to broke the doorknobs. I suddenly felt so helpless. Ano nga naman ang gagawin ko paglabas ng condo? I have nothing with me. Nawawala rin ang purse at phone ko.
Sa huli hinanap ko ang bathroom at naisipan na maligo nalang. I feel so very sticky! Ngayon ko lang napansin ang pakiramdam sa sarili. Nang tingnan ko ang mukha sa salamin ay nagkalat ang lipstick at mascara ko. Kinuha ko ang mga shampoo at body scrubs sa tabi sink. I let myself soaked on the tub with full of bubbles, pinaglaruan ko ang mga iyon.
Out of the blue biglang pumasok sa isipan ko ang lalaking iyon. I imaginatively crumpled his image in my mind like a paper. My blood is boiling just by the thought of him!
"He's no saint Erish, he'll be making your life more miserable." I murmured
Saglit lang ako naligo. I put the bathrobe around me. Naglakad ako palapit sa nakitang mini-closet na katabi nitong bathroom. Hoping that maybe it has some descent clothes inside it. Yumuko ako para buksan ito that's when I heard someone from the bed cleared a throat.
Shit! My heart raced, eyes immediately widened in shock. Kahit pa inaasahan ko na, nakakabigla parin pala.
Ilang mura ang pinakawalan ko sa isipan. I knew it! It literally all make sense now, siya nga talaga ang maaaring kumuha sa'kin sa bar kagabi at nagdala dito sa condo niya. Kelan nga ba siya nawalan ng pakialam sa buhay ko?
"You stupid! Why did you brought me h-here?!"
The shock is very evident in my voice. But I don't even know why am i stuttering!
Tumayo ito mula sa pagkakaupo at naglakad papunta sa direksyon ko. Tila galing pa sa isang formal meeting. He is wearing his usual office attire. A black coat with his long sleeve polo inside, black slacks and a pair of shoes with the same color.
I almost accept defeat in my mind, yeah right, dark always suits him, just like his presence that's always feels so intimidating.
I can feel the foreign sensations on my body, na nararamdaman ko tuwing may ganitong interaksyon kami. I should've buried it along time ago, but I think i'm always fvck up!
