Escape

Nahihintakutan ako kay Eurus. Sa hawak niya, ramdam ko ang kuryenteng nanuot sa ugat ng siko ko na dumadaloy ng mabagal patungo sa iba't-ibang parte ng katawan ko. Mainit at nakakapanginig.

Ilang beses akong napalunok habang nakatingala sa kaniya. His jaw is tensed firmer. His eyes were hooded and rebellious. Like he wants a clash. But resides it is his unnerved pain...of seeing me. After years of disappearance.

I tried to withdraw myself from his grip. But my nerves and bones are slowly liquefied just because of his inflammable fierce eyes.

"L-Let go, please..." halos hininga ko na lamang iyon.

Natatakot ako sa kaniya. Sa halip na sigawan siya ay idinaan ko sa pagluha. All I can see is his wrath through his eyes. The dark storms that surrounds him speaks warfare and that made my body shudders, in and out.

"Eurus... Please. Let me g-go." I said one more try.

His eyes became darker when it hit mine. Kaonti na lang ay babagsak na ko sa sahig dala ng panginginig ng aking tuhod. My body steamed up. I want to shout and just run away from him but I'm too weak to do it! God damn it.

"We will talk, Zia." mariing aniya.

Marahan niya binitawan ang siko ko nang biglang sumulpot sa gitna namin si Dana. Inosente niya kami tiningala, palipat-lipat. Hanggang sa tumigil kay Eurus.

"Are you hurting my mom, Sir?" she innocently asked.

Halos manginig ang kamay ko nang hawakan si Dana at itago sa aking likod. She hid herself barely on my dress. But eyes are still looked up on his daddy. Oh God.

Eurus looked back at her with a gentle stares. He put his madness in his jaw to conceal his true emotion. He then shook his head. "Never will I."

Verdana pouts. "I... I saw you hold her. Mommy's crying, oh..." she pointed my face.

I drew my teeth on my lower lip. My eyes pooled even more as I looked down on my daughter. Baby, I'm not crying...

"Yes, I hold her..." mahinahon ang baritonong boses ni Eurus nang sabihin iyon sa anak. Bumuntonghininga siya at naupo sa harapan ni Dana.

Napatago lalo si Dana. Wala na paglagyan ang luha sa mukha at mata ko habang pinapanood si Eurus na tingnan ang sariling anak na natatakot na sa kaniya dahil akala nito'y sinaktan ako...

"Yes, I made her cry..." he sounds apologetic. Then he tried to touch Dana but the latter avoided him. He sighed.

"You hurt my mom..." Dana buried her face on the back of my legs. "I thought you're kind... You hurt my mom, Sir..."

"I'm sorry..."

Call him daddy, baby...

My heart seemed to be wring multiple times because of this scene. Eurus' deep sighs scrutinized pain. He then looked up to me. All I can see is a dangerous rebellion.

Nag-iwas ako ng tingin. Ibinalik ko muli ang mata sa aking anak. Tumingin din siya sa akin bago ngumuso. Inangat niya ang pareho niyang kamay sa ere, nagpapabuhat.
