Being His Slave [ ON-GOING ]

Prologue

Author's Note: This will have a huge revision.

I wrote this story way back in 2017. I have revised this for the past few years to change everything, the flow of the story, the plot, the ending, etc. I did a huge revision now since I wrote this very naively and jeje, and I can't deny it. 

So here's the last 'huge' revision that I will make. 

Thank you for understanding.

The rain is getting heavy, and I don't know where I should go to stay. I didn't even bring an umbrella with me! Wala man lang ako makita pwedeng silungan. I ran as fast as I could and when I saw a waiting shed. I went there and took a seat.

I took a deep breath and looked at the dark and cloudy skies. It's raining heavily, and there is something inside my chest that feels so heavy, too. This is the reason why I was trying to avoid thinking because when I take a seat and don't do anything next, it feels heavy, I feel so sad, and start overthinking, like why am I living in this world just to feel like this way? It's too much, I kinda feel useless.

Kaka-out ko lang from work and my body is tired and umulan pa! Kung kailan ko naisipang hindi magdala saka umulan! Traydor talaga itong mundo e! Kanina blue na blue ang langit tas nung malayo na ako sa working place ko bakit kumukulimlim?

Pag minamalas ka nga naman.

"AAHHH!" I screamed when a car just passed by near the shed, and the water just splashed on me! I stood up and looked at my body.

The water's dirty, and it just splashed all over my body!

I bit my lower lip while wiping the dirt on my clothes that came from the water. I took a deep breath and glimpsed each side of the road. Wala man lang jeep na pwede ma sakyan o taxi.

Ang malas talaga!

Binuksan ko ang dala kong shoulder bag na basang basa na rin dahil sa ulan para hanapin ang wallet ko. Napansin ko ng isang papel na nakalagay sa isang A5 size card case. I took it and read the information inside it.

I sighed deeply as I read the amount of money that I have been saving.

It still didn't reach a million, and I am sick with it! I would rather die than live my life like this! What is the point of living if I will end up in jail?

Leaving me with millions of debt is just like leaving me in hell. How could I even pay this 10 million remaining debt if I don't have a degree to get a better job? Ni hindi ako matanggap sa ibang kompanya dahil sa reputasyon ng magulang ko.

Pati iyong isang company na hinahanap ko biglang nagbago ang isip dahil nalaman ang background ko.

Hindi ko na alam ng gagawin ko. Ang damot ng mundo sa akin. Minsan nga hiniling ko sana hindi na lang ako isinilang pa. Puro lang pait binibigay sa akin ng mundo. Lahat ng mahal ko sa buhay e kinuha sa akin, iyong isa naman pinagdamot ng kapalaran.

Speaking of that person, the one that I met, but our relationship didn't last forever.

I hold my shoulder bag tightly as I remember that this bag is one of his gifts to me. I still use this despite everything that has happened in my past. I heard my phone ringing, so I took it out of my bag and looked at the caller.

Kevs calling....

I answered the phone quickly as I saw his name. I put my phone near my ears. "Yes, dai? Why do you call?" I asked him.

"Asan ka na banda? Pasundo kita, teh, lakas ng ulan oh! Mother Nature is crying. So where are you na?"

"At the shed. I was waiting for a taxi-"

"Gaga! Pasusundo ka nga tapos taxi ka d'yan. Loka, wait mo si Manong d'yan. Para 'di ka na mamasahe."

I smiled when he said that. He is always concerned for me wherever I am when it's rainy or gabi na ako makaka-out, he is always asking for someone to fetch me.

An hour later, his driver arrived. I went inside the car immediately and greeted his driver. "Sorry, Ma'am, kung medyo natagalan." hinging paumanhin nito kaya nagtaka ako.

"Nu ka ba, Manong! Wala iyon!"

Pinaandar na ni Manong ang kotse. Sobrang dilim ng kalangitan, tapos ang lakas pa ng hangin at ulan. Huminga ako ng malalim at tumingin sa labas ng bintana. Ipinikit ko ang mga mata ko dahil ramdam ko na ang pagod at antok. Hirap talaga pag-hindi mo natapos ang kolehiyo, mabibigat na trabaho kapalit ng maliit na sweldo ang makukuha mo pag-wala kang natapos.

Unless kung masipag at matiyaga ka. Walang imposible. Kaya lalaban ako hanggang kaya ko. Kaya ko 'to..... kung maiiwasan ko mag-overthink nang mag-overthink.

It's killing me!
