A Missing Part

CHAPTER ELEVEN

Lacuna's POV

"You stupid son of a bitch! Stop!" I shouted, stopping Olivia from what she's doing.

The bitch didn't even looked at me. Her two arms were wrapping around Kelaya's neck, stopping Kelaya from talking.

"Olivia! I said stop!" I cannot do anything to stop her, my whole body feel numb and feel weak. And I were tied on a chair!

Kelaya looks out of air.

Hindi ko alam paano nangyari ito! The last time I remember, I was in my room! How come I was here now?

Rinig kong bumukas ang tarangkahan ng basement. It's either Theodore or Elias who opened it. For the first time, I wish it was Elias, he could help us...!

Agad akong nawalan ng pag-asa nang si Theodore ang pumasok.

He looked shocked. He didn't glanced at me because his wide eye were fixed on Olivia and Kelaya.

He stand there for a second before he tried to push Olivia.

"What are you doing?! You're killing your daughter!"

Tinulungang makatayo ni Theodore si Kelaya. Nanatili namang nakaupo si Olivia, iniinda ang sakit ng likod dahil tumama ang likod sa lamesa.

"I was just stopping her! She keeps talking nonsense things!" sigaw ni Olivia.

"No! Your killing her!"

"Why are you defending her?!"

Yeah... He's defending her... That's very unusual but... Thankfully he did defend her, for the first time.

"Can't you see? She's your daughter!" Theodore answered. He blocked Kelaya from Olivia's sight.

Dahan dahang tumayo ang babae at masama ang tingin nito sa lalaki.

"Anong ginagawa niyo dito?" Theodore asked. Inilibot nito ang paningin at tumigil ang mata sa akin. Mukhang nagulat ito. "At bakit nakatali si Lacuna, Olivia?!"

"What do you think, Theodore?!" I snap angrily.

"Lacuna..." akmang lalapit sa akin si Kelaya ngunit hinawakan ng lalaki ang braso nito, pinapatigil sa ano mang gagawin.

Bumaling ang babae rito, nagtataka.

"Uncle tutulungan ko si Lacuna," aniya.

"No. Stay here. Ako na," Theodore said that made me stopped. I didn't expect that, though.

Lumapit sa'kin ang lalaki. He bowed a bit so he can untied me. Pero bago pa man makalas ang tali ay biglang sumulpot si Olivia sa likod ng lalaki, dala ang isang malaking bato!

"Uncle!"

"Theodore!" sabay naming sigaw ni Kelaya! Pero bago pa man lingonin ng lalaki si Kelaya ay agad na sumalubong ang malaking bato!

Hinampas ng babae ang mukha at kasunod na pinukpok nito ang ulo ng lalaki!

Nanlaki ang aking mata sa nasaksihan. I bowed to see Theodore, his face was full of blood and also his head. He.... Can't be dead, right?

"Uncle!" ulit na sigaw ni Kelaya. Gusto kong tumayo! Sa oras na makalag ang taling nasa aking katawan, hindi ako magda-dalawang isip na saktan ang babae!

"Anong ginawa mo?!" sigaw ko kay Olivia na ngayon ay nakangisi at natutuwang nakatingin sa duguang lalaki.

Hindi makalapit si Kelaya sa amin sa takot nito sa ina. Hawak pa rin ng babae ang malaking bato na may tumutulong dugo.
