Make You Mine

CHAPTER FIVE

"Help.... Please...." I cried asking for someone to rescue me.

I am lying in a cold floor inside of a closed room, without any window. No light. It's so dark. I can't see anything. I can barely breathe. I feel so suffocated. I feel so numb. I don't know why I am here. The only thing I want is just to get out of this hell of a place. But it's seems so impossible because no one can hear me. No one seems to notice there's someone inside of this room.

I looked around but to my dismay, I really can't see anything. I forced myself to get up and walk. Find a way to get out of here. I need to to find a way.

Naglakad ako kahit wala akong makita. Nangangapa ako. I walked slowly to make sure I won't hurt myself. As I take my fifth step, the door opened. Tinakpan ko ang mga mata ko gamit ang isa kong kamay. I let myself adjust sa biglaang liwanag na nakita ko. I feel relieved. Finally, someone will rescue me.

Dahan dahan kong tinanggal ang takip sa aking mga mata nung nasigarado ko na I already adjusted to the light coming from the door. Nahihirapan mang tumingin sa dakong iyon, pinilit ko ang sarili kong tumingin doon.

May naaninag akong isang tao, he's standing on the door way. I can only describe him with his physique. He's tall and bit masculine. But I can't see his face. Maybe because of the light. Nonetheless, I am glad to know that I still have the chance to get out of this room.

"Please help me. I don't know who did this to me but please let me get out of here." I feel my tears falling uncontrollably.

I saw him walk slowly towards me. Natigilan ako ng onti-onting nagiging malinaw ang paningin ko.

"You think I'll help you?" He said smirking.

Napaatras ako nang magsalita siya at makilala kung kanino ang boses na iyon.

"No please. Just let me get out of here. Please." I beg.

He only looked at me with his eyes full of anger.

"Please..." I keep on begging.

He lifted his arm as if he's preparing to charge that on me. I was so shocked, I closed my eyes and use my hands to protect myself from whatever he may do to me.

"NOOO!" Napabalikwas ako. I opened my eyes and looked around. I am still in my bed.

"Dream. That dream again." Bulong ko sa sarili ko. Hinawakan ko ang mukha ko and as expected, I am crying. Napangiti na lang ako, pinunasan ko ang mga luha ko pati na rin ang pawis ko at huminga ng malalim. I let myself calm down. Noong alam ko nang okay na ako, bumangon ako mula sa higaan ko at kinuha ang phone ko to check the time. It's only 4:30 am. Ang aga pa pala.

At dahil di na din naman ako makakatulog neto, lumabas na lang ako mula sa kwarto ko. I switched on the lights sa sala at dumiretso na sa dinning room to drink some coffee. Dito na lang muna ako tatambay.

Kinuha ko ang cup and brewed some coffee. After kong magtimpla, umupo ako sa usual chair na inuupuan ko. While I am sipping on my coffee, naalala ko ang panaginip ko at ang message na natanggap ko kagabi. Hindi kaya siya yun? But how did he get my number? I thought umalis na siya ng bansa? Bumalik na ba siya? But why? Why is he bothering me again?

"Himala. Ang aga mo ata, Nic." Nagulat ako nung biglang may nagsalita sa likod ko.

"Wag naman manggulat. Napaso tuloy dila ko." Maktol ko kay Mie na umupo sa tabi ko.  "Ang sakit, ah." Nilabas ko ang dila ko and fan it my hand.

"Sorry." She said while chuckling. "Pero bakit ang aga mo ngayon? It's so unusual." Dagdag niya pa.

"Grabe ka naman Mie sa 'unusual' mo. Pero sabagay late naman talaga ako lagi." I said at ngumiti. "Wala lang. Trip ko ang gumising ng maaga ngayon. Feeling Girl Scout muna ako ngayong umaga. Gusto mo coffee?" Tanong ko sa kanya at tumango naman siya.
