Isla De Merries

Kabanata 1

I once believed in butterflies, fairytales, and destinies where true love is the only armor to conguer everything, two people being meant together was the most beautiful scenery for me, funny how I fancy the thought of it when I was only thirteen.

Now it failed me, there's more to life than love, life's too short, we gotta explore,  the world is big to just focus in the thought of finding happiness with someone, we have this word 'freedom'

"Damn" I murmured when I saw my boyfriend punch the guy who ask for my number.

I am here at La Monte Club enjoying my life, dancing and embracing my soul, life is short, so before we die we must live.

I was wearing this red sexy fitted above the knee backless dress paired with my creamy gucci pumps, Yes I wear heels tho it really sucks having these when your'e just going to dance, what can I do, Im just 4'8 and people would assume that I'm just some high school kid for God sake I am 19 years of age and a second year college.

"Greg calm down" I said, at dumalo sa boyfriend kong pinapatay na ang lalakeng humingi ng number ko, apat na bouncer ang pumagitna at umawat,  Greg is 6'3 at malaki ang pangangatawan nito, matangkad at malaki rin naman yung lalakeng humingi ng number ko pero mas malakas ang boyfriend ko, mahirap silang awatin lalo nat lumalaban talaga yung lalakeng namilit saking ibigay ko ang number ko ashole.

Kahit sa liit kong ito buong pwersa kong hinatak ang boyfriend ko paalis dun, I dont know how did I do it, I just know na nakalabas na kami ng club

"What the fuck Cecilia! I will kill that--" hindi ko sya pinatapos dahil nagsalita agad ako.

"How did you know I was here?" I asked not tearing the eye contact, kumunot ang noo nya and he clenched his jaw tightly na parang nag pipigil sumabog.

"You Party alone! You did not tell me Cecilia, I was damn worried! You little--" pumikit siya at agad umiling, kumunot ang noo ko sa sinabi niya

"Please Cecilia, I am very worried, whats our problem? You did not reply to my texts and you didnt answer my calls, are you mad at me?" He asked gamit ang mapupungay na mata, he hold my wrist tightly and I can feel his nervousness.

"Greg let's break up" I said without blinking, Im so done with this, one month na kami ni Greg and ever since sinagot ko siya he became very nosy and very jealous I hate it, he restricted me from going to the bars and going out with my friends at nasasakal ako, i dont like it, ayoko ng ganito nakakapagod, nagpunta ako ngayon dito sa bar for a moment to have peace of mind.  sumayaw muna ako sa dancefloor at yes medyo nagulat ako ng may humigit sa bewang ko unknown guy, He dance with me well I shrugg it off that's normal and dance along later on umupo muna ako but to my surprise the guy followed me, umupo rin sya sa tabi ko and he ask for my number, I didnt listen kaya nilapit niya ang mukha niya sa tenga ko at Paul it ulit ang pangungulit and thats when it started, nagulat ako ng may humila sa kanya at pinagsusuntok siya damn Greg.

"W..what?" His eyes turned into frustration and anger ginulo niya ang buhok niya agad hinawakan ang kamay ko at bahagyang kinaladkad ako

"Greg!!" I hissed angrily at tinignan siya ng masama

"Damn you Cecilia! W..what? Are you kidding me? Break what? Is this some kind of joke to you?" He said angrily at ginulo ulit ang buhok, hindi ako nagsalita blanko ang mukha ko ngayon, I dont know I dont feel sad or anything gusto ko lang matapos nato kase pagod na talaga ako.

"Cecilia, w..hat do you mean? It's been only one month Cecilia, I forgive you going out again... I will forgive you.. Let's not split over this mess of yours, I love you more than this Cecilia" he said pero agad akong umiling kaya agad na bigo ang kanyang mukha

"No Greg, this isnt a mess, I made my choice, this is my life, Im sorry but I think I am not yet ready for this." I said with finality agad akong naglakad palayo, I want to sleep, hindi ko na tinignan si Greg na hindi gumalaw matapos kong sabihin yun gad vodka, my head is spinning but i manage to walk straight, Im going straight to my car.

Agad kong pinatunog ang pulang benz mercedes ko, damn vodka, sumakay muna ako at sumandal sa manubela, pinikit ko ng mariin ang mata ko dahil ngayon ko lang na ramdaman ang kirot sa ulo ko.

Ilang minuto ang nakalipas napaupo ako ng matuwid ng nag ring ang cellphone kong nasa dibdib ko

"Shit" i muttered at agad kinuha ang cellphone na inipit ko sa aking bra bwiset ha muntik na akong magka heart attack,

Jason... Yan ang nakalagay sa caller, umirap ako sa kawalan, I answered the call

"what" i sound irritated

"Easy couz haha" he said playfully, I turned the engine and started driving out of this damn place, I'm a bit tipsy but who cares, I can still manage to drive

"Do you remember the bracelet I gave you lastweek? did you keep it?" I rolled my eyes mygosh, napatingin ako sa suot kong bracelet ngayon, this jewelry has an incredible design there are peridotite colored stones na may kakaibang sulat but hell I care, I wear it because it's eye catching

" I throw it" I simply want to pissed my cousin :)

"Goddamn it Nerianne Cecilia Amore!! that shit cost a million that is an ancient jewel! for Godsake its not even mine!!!..... "

"Really?" I sound surprise, damn I shouldn't lol

"Waaaait! you have it? don't you? You better give that back ughhh stop your dirty thoughts, damn girl.. the last owner of that bracelet was in 1877 they said it has a curse because adjklxjhwjhjcduhcjdw...."

A small tear fell from my eyes, as my phone falls, An unknown truck hit my car at tumilapon ang kotse ko sa lakas ng impact, blood streamed my body I cant move nor talk, Oh Lord is this my end? I hear shoutings everywhere, siguro ito na nga siguro ang katapusan ko, I slowly close my eyes as I accept my fate...

but I felt something on my forehead, at dahil dun ay napilitan akong ibuka ulit ang aking mata, I tried my best to open my eyes everything was blurry at first and eventually cleared up, I saw trees, everywhere, at napaka tirik ng araw, wait.... why am I lying in this dirty fucking forest?

"Binibini?" An old man wearing a traditional attire is near beside me...
