"Take a look at the CCTV, the police notice that the kidnapper is wearing a 4 inches black boots. Malabo namang si Hiro iyan," Tito Ortiz Quiño stated. Oh my God, I'm starting to sweat cold.

"That doesn't even look like a boy, may boobs," komento ni mom. My eyes widened, if this continues mas lalo na silang mapapalapit sa katotohanan.

"Hindi nag iisa si Hiro sa pagplano ng lahat," Tita Melisa added. Kyle glanced at me, I startled. I smiled nervously.

"S-So may lead na po ba kung sino 'yan?," I asked pointing at the video of CCTV.

"Not yet, kailangan pa ng masinsinang pag iimbistiga.," Tito Ortiz said.

Kinuha ni Tito Ian ang laptop at muling pinanuod ang video. Nanuod din si Tita Melisa. Bitch nawala sa isip ko ang CCTV no'ng gabing 'yon.

"Oh.. look at this I know this shoe brand.," Zinoom ni Tita Melisa ang video at pinakita sa'min. "Tatlo lang ang meron nito sa buong mundo, this is one of the most luxurious brands. Maliban nalang kung fake itong suot nitong kidnapper,"

My brows furrowed. That's not fake! I bought it from UK. I rolled my eyes. I don't wanna talk nalang, pinakaayoko sa lahat ang sinasabing fake ang sinusuot ko. But no matter how branded and expensive, kailangan mawala na sa'kin ang boots na 'yon. Knowing Tito Ortiz and Tita Perly Quiño, walang pamilya pamilya dito. They'll gonna put me in jail. That's a worst nightmare.

I cleared my throat and stood up. "I think mauuna na po ako, Hannah asked me to help her with— uh.. p-project, right! May project pa kaming dapat tapusin," I lied.

"Project or shopping?," Dad asked.

"Oh it's project talaga, Dad" I laugh.

"I gotta go too," Kyle intruded. Tumayo na din siya. Jeez don't tell me kanina pa siya nakakahalata. Napatingin ako sa laptop, nakaplay pa rin ang video.

"Bueno wala naman na tayong dapat pang pag usapan dahil matutuloy ang kasal bukas. At iyan ay sigurado na," Tito Ortiz stated.

"Uhm I'll go na bye bye," I kissed my parents goodbye before leaving the room. Binilisan ko ang paglalakad para hindi ako maabutan ni Kyle. I need to get rid of my beloved boots as soon as possible.

"Monica," he called me.

Their he is. Oh no please don't ask me questions. I walked faster.

"Monica! Wait up," tumakbo siya kaya nahabol niya ako. Wala na akong nagawa kundi ang huminto at harapin siya.

"I really need to go na, Kyle. Kung may sasabihin ka man just make it faster," I told him. I really need to go home bago pa magsearch ang mga pulis sa bahay. Hindi nila pwedeng makita ang boots do'n. Though malabo namang magsearch sila sa bahay. Maliban nalang kung pinaghihinalaan nila ako.

"Alam kong may kinalaman ka sa mga nangyayari, where are they?," he's poker face. Now I'm scared to look at him in the eye. Im tired of lying but I don't have any choice okay?

"Who?," I can't look at him.

"Your cousin and Hiro," his cold voice brings shivers to my spine. Parang isang tulak nalang at mapapatay na ako ng titig niya.

Did you know?
Kayang patiliin ni Kyle ang mga babae sa kilig at karisma niya. But the downside is that he can also make you scream deep inside in great fear. Well it depends if he's mad in a reasonable way.

"I-I don't know what you're talking about. Pa'no ko naman malalaman kung nasa'n sila?," I lied. He seems doubtful but I stood there like a queen believing my own lies.

Natanaw ko mula sa labas si Sassy, she's inside the car leaning her head by the car's window. "I think Sassy's already bored here, bakit hindi mo muna siya ipasyal?," pag iiba ko ng usapan. I grin. C'mon I know it, halata namang may gusto sila sa isat isa.

Kyle shook his head before turning his back away from me. "I'll keep an eye on you," he uttered in monotone without looking back at me. Jeez! Now I need to hurry back home. Kailangan mawala ang boots!

While driving home, I dialed Jessica's number. "Pick up the phone bitch.."

Nagriring lang pero hindi niya sinasagot. I didn't stop calling anyway until she finally answered.

[¿Hola, Mónica? ¿Por qué?]

"ALAM NA NG PARENTS MO KUNG NASAAN KAYO! GO NOW AND HIDE!," I screamed. Napatingin sakin ang driver ng kotseng dumaan sa tabi ng kotse ko. I glared at him.

I heard Jessi sigh. [Theirs no way, last night the police came here. Nireport kami ng neighbors ni Hiro, they said they saw us on TV and maybe they got blinded by the reward]

I rolled my eyes. This just means na napunta sa wala lahat ng pinaghirapan ko no'ng gala night. I hate it.

"So what now?," may bahid ng inis kong tanong.

[Pumayag silang magstay ako dito until uhm afternoon I guess. The police are just outside and we can't go anywhere, isasama nila sa presinto si Hiro sa oras na umalis ako] her voice started to tremble.

"Geez kidnapping is a serious crime, what will happen to me?," nagpapanic na tanong ko.

[Don't worry, I can tell the court that what had happened is not kidnapping. It's never against my will na sumama. Alam na ba nilang kasama ka namin?]

"No," I replied. I won't admit it anyway. Hindi nila mapapatunayang ako 'yon. I won't let my name get stained with criminal activity. Especially kidnapping, that will ruin my reputation.

Hence, I decided to pass the burden to someone who doesn't have any reputation to worry.

WHAHA– BWAHAHAHAHA!!!
