Autumn of May

CHAPTER 4: Above The Mountain, There is An Increased Pressure

I park my car at the front of the company. I put my car keys in my pocket and walk towards the entrance. Nagtataka ako bakit walang sumalubong sa akin sa entrance ng company which is those people na binayaran ko monthly is sasalubong sa akin sa entrance door. Tss. I should fire those guys later. Naglakad ako papasok sa company and I saw a lot of bodyguards standing. Wait. These are not my people. I am shocked when four guys started to run towards me. What the h*ll?

They grab me in my arms and started to touch me in every parts of my body. WTF?

"HEY! STOP! WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING?" I started to get irritated at nagpupumiglas ako sa kanilang hawak. "GUARDS! WHERE ARE THE F*CKING GUARDS HERE? GUARDS GRAB THEM!" I saw my men just standing at the corner. Mga walang kwenta! One of those four men grab my car keys and wallet. Kinuha niya ito at ipinasa sa isang babae na nagtatrabaho din sa company.

"Drag him out" sabi ng lalaki na kumuha ng aking car keys and wallet ko. I push myself to stand up pero napakalakas nilang humawak sa akin. A few guys started to help the other guys to drag me out of the company. F*CK! Nanlaban ako sa kanila but 1 out of 10 people dragging me out, I can't fight their strengths. Tsk. I will surely cut off your payment assh*les!

Iniwan nila ako sa labas ng company na nakaupo sa sahig. I stand up and clean my clothes dahil nagkaroon ito ng dumi. I am sure Dad and Mom are doing this! I let out a laugh. They're trying to make me cooperate to their f*cking game ha! Let's see. I pick up my phone and dial Steve's number pero naka-off ito. I dialed him again and again pero hindi siya sumagot.

WHERE ARE YOU STEVE?

I call a cab and ask the driver to take me to my condo. Pagkadating ko sa condo, I saw Steve and Nanny Lisa at the front door standing. Nang makita nila akong papalapit sa kanila, they hurriedly run towards the door at pumasok sa condo. I run towards them and unfortunately, they already closes the door when I arrive.

"STEVE! NANNY LISA!" I heavily tap the door. Binuksan ko ang pintuan gamit ang password ko pero it repeatedly says INCORRECT PASSWORD. I let out a deep sigh knowing that they change my password and pati si Steve and Nanny Lisa are obeying Dad's rules. Umupo ako sa sahig at dial Dad's number. Luckily, he picked up.

"DAD! WHAT THE F DID YOU PLAN TO DO? THIS IS INSANE! YOU F*CKING SEIZE MY COMPANY AND KICK ME OUT OF THE CONDO?" I grab my hair slowly and wait for my Dad's response. This is crazy. Dad and Mom are crazy. Everyone is so insane.

"Go to the wharf this 3:00 pm and ride a ship to the island. A local tricycle driver will take you home and to your work. Be on time" After he said that, he hung up the phone. My blood started to boil and I kick the front door. Kakainis! I check my phone to dial for someone but I only have Steve, Nanny Lisa, my lawyer and a bunch of anonymous number. SH*T I don't have anyone to call.

Hopeless. I just sit at the front door while blankly looking at the wall.

"STEVE! NANNY LISA! OPEN THIS F*CKING DOOR!" I shouted many times but no one dared to open up. Hours passed and it's already 5 pm. I still repeatedly shouted, begging them to open the door pero hindi talaga sila nakumbinsi. I check my phone and it is already passed my ship time. Well, I don't care! I don't want to go to the island.

Hours again passed. The floor started to get cold kaya I hug myself to warm up. I kick the front door again and shouted, "STEVE DO YOU WANT ME TO DIE DAHIL SA SOBRANG LAMIG? IF I DIE, MUMULTUHIN KITANG G*GO KA!" I heard the front door open kaya agad akong tumayo. Steve look at me behind the door and toss a jacket and a blanket. WTF? He hurriedly close the door kaya hindi manlang ako nakagalaw sa aking kinauupuan. "Kapag namatay ka, hindi ako makokonsensiya dahil binigyan kita ng pampainit sa katawan" Steve said behind the door. I rolled my eyes and kick the door. Bwis*t talaga!
