Twist of Fate

CHAPTER 25

"Mrs.Michelin.." paulit ulit na sambit ng lalaking naglalakad papalapit sakanya. Maidilim ang paligid.. walang tao at ang lalaking puros itim ang suot lang ang nadoon sa lugar.

The place screams haunt. Like she is in a dark dimension where blood is scattered all over the place. Knives are all around— stuck in the air and pointing at her..

"Run.." tumawa ang lalaki nang nakakakilabot. The voice of the man echoed in the place.. making her almost trip.

She wanted to move.. she wanted to start running and go as far as she can. But she can't.

She did trying to step but she just remained in her place. Parang kahit anong hakbang nya ay hinihila sya pabalik sa pwestong iyon..

She cried her heart out. Worrying about her babies and for her life..

But then the man got her. He strangled her once again. Making her lost her breath. Exactly the feeling of how tight it is.

She wanted to shout! She wanted to ask for help. She wanted to plead the man to stop. But she can't open her mouth either..

The man's eye was all black. Scaring the shit of her. And then the man chuckled devilishly. "Say goodbye to your children.."

All the knives around the place was shaking. And then all of a sudden. It all pierced into her stomach. Sumaksak ang mga iyon sa tyan nya at sa buo nyang katawan.

"My babies!" Sigaw nya sa sobrang takot. Kasabay ng pag mulat ng mga mata nya.

It was just a dream.. oh God.

Sapo nya ang dibdib dahil sa pag hahabol ng hininga. Luminga linga sya para makita kung nasaan sya. She found her self in her room making her feel relieved. At tumama ang paningin nya sa sinapupunan.

Nagumpisang tumulo ang mga luha nya at hinaplos iyon.

It's just a dream. Nothing bad happened to her. Nothing bad happened to her babies. They are safe. It was all made in her might. It felt surreal but she's safe..

Sapo nya ang bibig at hirap na tinulak ang sarili at umupo sa kama. Her sweats are dripping. Her hands we're cold and her heart is thumping so loud.

That dream.. it's exactly what happened the other day.

It was all done. Ang pangyayaring iyon ay noong nakaraan pa. Yes she was saved. She get through that terrific scenario.

But it lives in her mind. It left her a scar. She was traumatized by it making some changes in her behavior. And here she couldn't sleep well at night because of it.

Every time she hears something at night.. she'll literally panic. Every time she sees a knife. It will make her tremble and almost pass out. She hates darkness.. it's like she's gonna pass out.

It's not doing her any good. She's trying to strengthen her foundation. But then, it really is hard. She couldn't get over with it. Her mind couldn't..

She hugged herself as she keeps on crying. She wiped her tears. "My babies.. i hope y'all are okay. Because nanay is not okay." She stops as her sobs took over. "Nanay is traumatized. Sorry I couldn't give y'all a complete rest. I know nahihirapan kayo dahil sakin. Nahihirapan din kasi si nanay." She caressed her tummy. "Just be okay. Take care of each other there ha? Please hold on. Kaya natin to hmm? Hawak nyo ang puso ko."

She let her tears stream down. She woke up from a horrific nightmare and she's expecting someone who will comfort her and tell her every thing will be fine. That it's just a dream. That will hug her and calm her down.
