Huntress

Chapter 37: Bloody Tortures

Bakit parang may mali?

 

Hallucination ko lang ba yun na parang narinig ko na may tumatawag saken na Nom?

Why am I thinking about Ivo? Kung sya nga eh  di sana sya ang kasama ko sa clinic.

He neither pays a visit nor calls me. I still remember back in States, even he’s busy in racetrack and with his girls, he still has time to care for his gangmates. Even it’s a little, we still appreciate him but why is it we’re in the same university yet he cannot go check me. I’m not demanding but I guessed I’m used to it. He really is annoying. Damn! Why I miss him so bad..?

 

“Hadn’t you seen my phone?” I asked him.

 

“Wala kong napansin.”

 

“Pahiram ng phone..” kailangan kong tawagan ang phone ko. It’s lost.

“Here..” inabot nya saken yung phone nya. I dialed my number. Geez.. Naka-off. Pakiramdam ko either sa Vespucci o sa Baltimore building nawala.

 

“Ano wala?” Sinoli ko na yung phone. I need to purchase na naman. Tsktsk..

 

“Naka-off.  Purchase na lang ulit ako.”

“Malapit na tayo..”hewas the one driving his car habang ako nakasandal sa window (front seat) at nag-iisip. Maghahapon na, san ba kami papunta?

 

“Why don’t you tell me where are we goin?” nag-stop light. Tumingin sya saken.

 

“Basta.. Gutom ka na?” nagulat ako bigla syang lumapit saken. Akala ko bigla syang mangyayakap dahil sa porma ng braso nya sa harap ko.. pero..

 

“Ano bang ginagawa mo?” hinawi nya yung buhok ko. I smirked on him and we stared each other’s eyes.

“Seatbelt po.” He smiled and buckled up my seatbelt.  Sobrang lapit ng pasimple kong napagmasdan ang muka nya. His brown eyes and thick eyebrows beyond his rectangle-rimmed eyeglasses. It wasn’t the perfume I smelled to the one carried me.

“San ba kasi tayo pupunta?  I don’t even know if this is a kidnap or what?“

 

“Are you insane? Meron bang kidnapper na pinaospital muna yung biktima saka kinidnap? Grabe, is this for real? I have a student like you?” natawa sya.

 

“Paninindigan ko lang yung sinabi mong I’m your worst student.”

Nag-ring yung phone nya.. Nasilip ko agad yun na si Ms.Tan ang tumatawag.
