KABANATA 27

FEAR

Is it possible to feel excitement and pain at the same time? Kasi iyon ang nararamdaman ko ngayon habang naglalakad ako palabas ng hospital. Car keys on my hand, I am thinking if it is a heaven's way again. I can't help but think this way kasi para akong baliw na naeexcite na nasasaktan kapag naiisip kong kikitain ko ang mga alien ng buhay ko.

I even don't know how to react if we see each other face to face later. Iyong tipong susumbatan na nila ako dahil sa kasalanan ko sa kanila. Sana naman gumana sa kanila ang mga iniisip kong katarayan para hindi masyadong awkward.

I reached the car park still thinking the aliens of my life. Bakit kasi ang hirap nilang suyuin? Akala naman nila ag gaganda nila para magpasuyo pa sa akin. The weirdong maarte and the gagang englisera is getting more gaga in my eyes. Mga maaarteng alien kasi.

The sound of my stilettos echoed in the car park as I walked. The creepiness and the dimmed light sent shiver on my system. I really hate this area at night. It's creepy and scary. Parang laging may nakasunod sa akin o para laging may biglang susulpot na kung anong nilalang sa harapan ko lalo ngayon na nag-iisa lamang ako.

I sighed deep when finally I reached my car. I was about to unlock it when someone spoke near me.

"Miss me, my queen?"

I dropped the keys on the car park's floor. My whole body suddenly trembled just hearing his dark voice. I lifted my head and my foot automatically move on its own backward.

"W-What are you doing h-here? H-how..." I said in panic. He stepped forward and I moved backward. A maniac smile crept on his lips as he stepped forward.

"To see you, my queen, of course," he said creepily. "Did you missed me too, hmn?"

This is what I am afraid of. Iyong makalapit siya sa akin. Baka kung anonggawin niya sa akin. At talagang dito pa sa parking which shouts creepiness.

"L-leave me alone!" the anxiety is starting to build up inside me. My inner being is in panic and I don't even know why in the hell my knees did not even want to cooperate.

Run, Evangeline! Run for your life! My mind says but my whole body won't cooperate. Atras lang ako nang atras habang si Romulo naman ay palapit nang palapit sa akin.

When will he stopped frightening me!? When will he stop bothering me!? When will he stop ruining my life!? When will he stop!? I am tired of this! I am tired of being afraid that he may do something again!

"S-Stop, p-please..." I said with my trembling lips.

"I am not starting yet, queen," his smile grew wider.

"S-Stop it, please! S-Stop bothering me!" I shouted kahit pa takot na takot na ako sa kaniya.

Kailan ba niya ako titigilan? Kailan ba siya titigil!?

"Stop being so beautiful first, queen," tila ba iyon nga ang tanging dahilan kung bakit hindi niya pa rin ako tinitigilan.

"S-stop please... Stop this, Romulo!"

Please, please... Someone help me...

Romulo let out an evil laughed. Lalo lang akong nanginig sa tawa niyang iyon.

Why can't he understand that I will never like him? Why can't he understand that I don't like him? Gaano ko ba natapakan ang ego niya?

Why can't they understand that we can't force love!? Kailanman ay hindi napipilit ang pag-ibig and I'm sure his feeling were not love. Or if it is, it is the obsessive kind of love. That's sickening!
