THE VILLAIN'S CURSE

x. Abduction

KAIRO

It's already midnight but I'm still awake. If my hand was not injured maybe I'm doing my nocturnal hobby right at this moment. Painting outside indeed. I'm injured and vulnerable but it doesn't mean that I will stay here in my bed and sleep it all. Maingat akong bumangon sa kama and go to my secret room where all my painting placed. At sa pagpasok ko I can already smell the paint that become this room's scent. I slowly observed my painting from the dark paintings up to red and and to the last one. As I touched the last painting that bounded with colorful paints, I remembered her.

This past few days I'm confused and furious. Confused if what I felt was real and furious that maybe it really was real.

I looked at my painting and I saw the smiling face of her. I slowly get my paintbrush using my uninjured arm and write the words below the painting.

"The woman who never leaves my mind." The words said it all.

Pag nakita niya kaya to matutuwa siya? I'm afraid that one day she will take a peek of my paintings without me in her side. I'm afraid that fate would still act as cruel and divulge my secret to the person I thought I already like.

I can only heard my own footsteps and the ticking of the clock in my own premises. If someone will stay here,that someone will gonna think that my house was possessed when in fact it wasn't.

After observing all my paintings and did what must be done. I felt my own eureka moment. Being alone sometimes gives me the privileged to think about the things surrounds me. This gives me peace but at the same time makes me sad.

Lumabas na lamang ako ng silid na iyon at nagpahangin sa balcony ng bahay ko. I slowly observed how peaceful the night was. The stars are uniting to support the moon on providing the world the light it deserves at night.

Time will come and I will not stand here alone staring at the star twinkling and be mesmerized by the moon's beauty.

Papasok na sana ako sa aking silid ng makahagilap ako ng isang anino sa di kalayuan ng aking bahay. I stared intently at the shadow. And based of what I observed it was a silhouette of a person standing beside the tree.So it only means that the person who manipulated my breaks was still following me all alone. How silly of him. He doesn't know what I'm capable off and that I can kill him if I wanted too here in my own premises. Di ko papalampasin ang mga ginawa niya sa akin. Maybe this isn't the right time to confront him. Maybe if I'm already fully recovered I can already corner that person and seek some information I needed to exquisite my plans and to know who were those persons behind my parents death.

Pumasok na lamang ako ng silid at humiga. Thinking about Eumi.Ano Kaya ang ginagawa niya? Is she still roaming around the hospital checking for her patients at this late hour?. I miss her. Ohh here we go again. Me thinking about her and missing her. I'm doomed. Really doomed.

*Kring*

My sleep was being disturbed because of my phones ringing. Ugh how could this person disturbed me. I lazily get my phone without taking a peek of who was it.

"Hello." I said sleepily.

"It's been a long time Kairo." That voice. I will never forget it. That voice that gives me goosebumps and fear.

"You!!" I said trembling but still managed to said the word coldly. The night before is like a flash who made me remember a memory that must be forgotten but still bothering me.
