Puting kisame ang agad sumalubong sa akin paggising ko. I roamed my eyes but all I can see is the white walls and ceiling. What am I doing here? And then memory flashed my mind immediately making me glanced at my flat tummy.
"ANG ANAK KO!" I cried and screamed so loud. I remember the blood. I remember how they tortured me. I remember how they sexually harassed me. I remember Dametrius'poker face when he saw me. Why am I still alive? for fuck sake I'm so tired, I really want to end up my useless life. If living means putting my life again in death then why the hell God let me live again.
The nurses suddenly went in and injected me something making me subside.
I woke up in the same room again. I noticed that I'm not alone this time. The man who wanted to kill me is here sleeping peacefully on the couch.
I noticed some changes in his face. I smiled in the most saddest way. From his being soft feature turns out to become evil. The world was against on me ever since I was born yet Dametrius gave me millions of reasons to enjoy and stay alive. And then our memory together flashback.
I haven't seen my parents because they both died few months after I was born. My aunt took care of me but when I turned 16, the car she was riding in suddenly crashed. I really felt lose that time but Dametrius, my only friend is with me throughout my healing process. I don't have any problems financially because my parents left enough money to provide for my daily needs. When we graduated college, He officially introduced me to his parents as his girlfriend. I don't know why we ended up in a relationship when we are just supposed to be just friends only. We really love each other way back then. He's always supporting me in every decision I make. He then worked in their company after graduation while I worked in a different firm. I don't want to rely on him all the time so I decided to apply to a different company, gladly I was hired. I even remember how his lips pouted everytime he didn't like what I did. After I get back from the States he proposed, who Am I to decline the proposal of my one and only love? God knows how happy I am that day. Everything's perfect, almost perfect that I'm afraid. But all those happy memories gets blurry after the night of our engagement party.
"You're finally awake." I immediately turned my gaze on him only to find out that he was just a little bit distance from me. Am I that really too occupied that I didn't notice his presence.
"Bakit mo pa ako binuhay?"walang kwentang tanong ko.
"Why didn't you tell me that you're pregnant?" his calmness making me more worried.
"For what, ha? tell me. Bakit ko naman sasabihin sa taong plinano na ang kamatayan ko. Para ano? Para mapataas pa ng kaunti ang araw ko? What's the purpose of telling you when I know that my existence will no longer important to you." He remained quiet so I continue.
"We both know that this child was made not because of love but just pure hatred and lust, right?" I sobbed. What the hell Avora? Why you're so weak.
"Kahit buntis ka kaya kitang sakalin." pagtitimping sagot niya.
"Then do it. Para namang bago saakin yan, Sa araw-araw na lagi mo akong sinasaktan Dame ngayon pa ba ako matatakot? You always hurt me physically and emotionally yet you still have the guts to threatened me like that-" I didn't finish my words because he slapped me so hard.
"Satan knows how I really wanted to kill you right now Avora dahil buhay ka pa, sinusunog na ang kaluluwa mo sa empyerno but because your carrying my innocent child in your womb I don't have a choice but to extend your fucking life in nine months." nanlilisik na sabi niya.
Alam kung magmamarka ang sampal niya, pero ang mga salitang binitawan niya babaunin ko siguro hanggang hukay. Ganyan ba talaga siya kagalit saakin?
The next thing I know I was in his house. Dame told me that I will be living here for the next nine months to make sure that I will not kill his child. Pagkatapos niya akong pagsalitaan ng ganoon ay agad siyang lumabas. After few minutes the doctor entered, she glanced at my left cheek first but didn't say anything. She instructed me what to do since this is my first time. Malakas rin daw ang kapit ng bata pero dapat paring alagaan ang sarili, pinayagan niya na rin akong lumabas. Dame's bodyguard guided me here without any words. I smiled bitterly and hold my tummy as I entered his house. His plain light blue big house reminds me of the past. This is our house supposedly. This house was so big for only one person. I'm not shocked if Dame will bring different girls here because he already did it before.
Nakita ko ang isang maid na papalapit saakin. I haven't seen her before, baka bago lang siya.
"Maam, utos ni Sir Dametrius saakin na sa kwarto ka lang daw mamalagi hangga't di pa siya sa dumadating." inosenting wika niya.
I nodded my head as a sign of approval. Hinatid niya ako sa magiging kwarto ko. Pagpasok ko palang ay nabighani agad ako sa laki at aliwalas ng silid. It really feel peace, kaginahawaan na hindi ko muling naranasan. I heard click from the door. Nagtaka ako kaya agad akong pumunta sa pinto at binuksan only find out that she locked me. Natawa ako ng bahagya. Takot ka ba Dame na umalis ako? O takot kang iba ang pumatay saakin imbis na ikaw. Umupo ako sa kama at agad na tumingin sa kawalan.
Funny how my life extended because of this little angle inside me. Kung ang pagprotekta sa sarili ko noon ang dahilan ng aking paghihirap ngayon ay sana hinayaan ko nalang ang bala na tumama sa aking mukha.
