Without any hesitation dumiretso akong airport. I can't calm myself down and I keep tapping my foot on the ground na akala mo may magagawa 'yon para bumilis yung takbo ng eroplano.
'Everything's gonna be alright Caspien, it'll be alright' pagpapakalma ko sa sarili ko.
I arrived there, pero halos wala akong tulog kakaisip. Pagkababa ko ng eroplano, sinalubong ako ni Max. Nakayuko lamang sya at halatang nag-aalala.
I tapped his shoulder. "Do you already know where dad is?"
"Fortunately, yes. They are at the hidden underground floor of Mikasa building"
Napasabunot ako sa buhok ko. This is just way too twisted. "Why did they even kidnapped him?!"
He looked so startled, mukhang nagulat sya sa biglang pagsigaw ko. This is the first time I yelled at him. "Y-your dad has dept to one of the most powerful underground corporation"
"Dept?! Pano naman magkakautang si dad doon? Nalulugi na ba ang kompanya?"
"As of this moment, the company is doing fine. I just know it's a dept since they called me last night and said that your father's dept is going to be paid soon. He told me to say it to you or he'll kill master Muller so I did tell you."
From that, he looked so scared for me "He told me to tell you to come alone..."
Mas lalong uminit ang ulo ko sa narinig ko. What do they want?! I will literally even give them the whole company just for my dad.
"I'll go" yan lang nasabi ko bago tumalikod at sumakay sa passenger side ng dala nyang sasakyan. I'd rather die there than to let them have my dad.
Halatang natatakot sya pero hindi nya alam kung uunahin nya ba ang takot para saken o takot para kay dad. I understand him. Maski ako ay natatakot rin pero I need to save my father.
He's the only one I have now...
I told him to drop me off outside the building. He hold my hand very tight and looked at me with a very concerned eyes. "Please be careful"
I nodded. Tahimik lang akong pumasok sa loob ng building. Walang katao-tao at kinakalawang na ang ilang establisyimentong gawa sa bakal. Nilabas ko yung binigay na blue print saken kanina ni Max.
I get to see a door made of rusty steel in the far corner hidden by a huge pile of woods.
May iba pang daan papasok pababa pero dito ako pumunta para madaanan ko mamaya palabas kung sakali.
May hagdan pababa sa medyo madilim na pasilyo. I can hear some people laughing from here.
"Your son is coming Miller. It's payback time" tumawa pa yung baritonong boses na 'yon pagkatapos nyang sabihin yon. Sumilip ako and there I saw my dad being imprisoned. They put a tape in his mouth and his eyes were covered.
Hindi ako kinakabahan kanina pero lumakas ang tibok ng puso ko ngayon. Marami sila. Mga nasa trenta katao ang nandito sa loob ng malawak na underground floor.
Pinipilit magsalita ni dad pero pinipigilan sya ng tape. I know what he means to say 'don't touch him please'
"What? Don't touch him?" He laughed sarcastically and harshly removed the tape in dad's mouth. "You fooled me Muller!"
"I-I'm sorry. I'm sorry! I'll pay you large amount of money, please- just please don't touch my son"
"You should've thought that earlier. Not right now that I don't want your money. All I want is to kill you together with your son"
"Please not my son. Just me please-just me" Pagmamakaawa ni dad at linuhuran yung lalaki. I can't take it watching the reputable person I know acting like this.
The man paused for a while then continued again. "You borrowed money to save your son because your company is going bankrupt that time. I was an illegal lender. So you lied... You reported me to the police"
"Do you even know how much I suffered in prison? Huh Miller?!"
I was shocked. Everything feels like a puzzle now and dad... Did that because of me.
