Kabanata Apatnapu't Walo

Makalipas ang limang taon.

"Jake please, tigilan mo na ang pagtatrabaho sa bahay!" Jessica crossed her arms in front of me.

She's pouting her lips like a brat that she is. 

"Hindi ako pupunta sa party, Jessica. May appointment ako bukas sa guidance counselor ni Calvin." Sabi ko at minasahe ang gilid ng ulo ko.

"Be a good boy and I will teach you how to charm girls." Sabi ko at tinuro ang susunod na kanto. "Girls are complicated." Aniya at napakamot sa batok. "Saan talaga tayo pupunta?" Tanong niya. Tumingin ako sa side view mirror. Halos wala talagang nagbago sa bayang ito. "Just drive. Malapit na tayo." I said as I read the town's name on my mind. 'Welcome to San Rafael'

I wiped the tears away from her beautiful eyes. “You did make me cry!” Aniya at tinulak ang dibdib ko. Umupo ako sa tabi niya. "Hindi ko naisip na iiyak ka. Hush now, please. I turned my back on that job years ago.” Sabi ko at hinimas himas ang likod niya. "Hindi mo din sinabi sa akin ang tungkol sa pagiging vigilante mo. What you have done was more dangerous than my job.” Mahinahon kong paliwanag. Ayokong sabayan ang pag tatampo niya. I al

Shit Shit Shit Anong oras na?Bumangon ako at dali-dali kong hinanap ang phone ko sa bag.Shit. I'm sure it's Dad.I saw who's calling. Wait. Unknown number? Sino ito?I felt Leo's body at my back.

We have to schedule her brain surgery as soon as possible. We lost a lot of blood." What brain surgery? Hindi ko mabuka ang aking bibig. Nanunuyo din ang aking lalamunan. Water.

Para daw ito sa proteksyon namin.Proteksyon mula kanino?Am I missing something here?"Cindy, this is Albert Lim, he's my assistant. Albert, I'd like you to meet my only daughter Cindy Anne Lopez." Inabot niya ang kamay niya. Tinanggap ko naman ito at nakipag kamay.Sa palagay ko nasa mid 20’s siya. Mukha naman siyang mabait."Welcome to the company Ms. Cindy." sabi niya habang hawak pa ang kamay ko."Salamat Albert." Tumingin ako kay Dad. "Nasaan ang opisina ko?" tanong ko.Ngumisi lang siya."Albert, please guide Ms. Cindy to her office and tell her job description then follows me to the conference room." tinapik ni Dad ang likod ko at iniwan kami sa opisina niya."Let's go Ms. Cindy. Please follow me po." Binuksan ni Albert ang pinto para sakin. Sinundan agad kami ng tatlong bodyguards ko. Seriously?I rolled my eyes."Puwede ba kayong mag-stay sa lobb

Uncle assigned him as the new acting CEO. I am so proud of him. "Cindy, alam mong tatanggapin ka nila. Pamilya mo sila." Sabi pa ni Lindsey. Humarap ako sa kanya.

I blinked again but my vision didn’t improve. I raised my hand to see a needle in my arm. I pushed myself up. Nasaan sila? Sinubukan kong iunat ang aking likuran pero isang biglang sakit ang naramdaman ko. "Shit. It stings." I cursed. Nanunuyo ang lalamunan ko. The door opened slowly, Jacob walked in with an angry face.

I choose you as the person with whom I will spend my life. I promise you this from my heart, for all the days of my life.” Ngumiti siya at hinalikan ang aking mga kamay. Pinunasan ko ang luhang tumulo sa pisngi niya. He mouthed ‘I love you’ as I recite my vows to him. I stopped and hugged him tight. “Read your vows properly. You’re stuttering.” I heard him curse quietly as he pushed me off of him. Napatakip ako ng bibig nang makita ko ang mukha ni Leo sa harapan ko

Tinanggal ng kanyang mga tauhan ang lahat ng babasagin at metal na bagay sa loob ng silid. I closed my eyes, thinking of my brothers. If I die in Leo's hands they will be traumatized for the rest of their life. I sighed as I think of ways on how to escape this hell hole. My feet and my one wrist were tied up again. I reached for the paper cup and drank all of the water. I need a clear mind now. Napangiwi ako nang makita ko ang mga sugat ko. Pinikit ko ulit ang aking mga mata at ini
