Ever since I was a kid I always prioritize my studies and family. I never got a boyfriend because I was scared of them and because I just don't have time for them.

Scared because of what happened to me when I was thirteen years old.

Kakalipat lang namin sa Laguna noon nang mangyari iyon.

We moved from Manila to Laguna because of my family's problem, my father isn't getting along with his elder brother anymore because of their company. My grandmother got stroke and for peace my father decided to just leave them.

We don't have problems when it comes to financial, my father can support and take care of us with that. He's rich rich. We have friendly neighbors. And although my father can support us financially he look for a job.

But I think not all of people can be pleased by kindness. We believe that everyone in our family friends are true and trusty.

We were getting along with our new environment, place and friends in that village. But that one time, changes not just my family's trust issues but also me... myself.

My parents thought us how to be independent, of course all of us wants that especially my sister.

It was our dismissal, and because my school is just near our house I am just walking to go home. My sister and I went on the same school but she already went home because she had a fight with one of her classmate.

And that is our only problem.

My sister being a walking trouble.

"Lea! Pauwi ka na ba ineng?" Tanong ni Mang Conor.

Isa siya sa kapitbahay namin na medyo...iba ang pakiramdam ko. He's in forties, a not tall man but a creepy one. I heard that he's living alone because her wife left him and her daughters too. One time I heard from our neighbors that his family left him because he's pervert. And he's using drugs.

Kaya naman kahit na palakaibigan ang ngiti niya sa Papa ko ay hindi ko mapigilan na umiwas, kakaiba kasi ang ngisi niya kapag nadadaanan ko palagi nag bahay nila. Particularly when I'm with my sisters.

I'm really a not friendly one so I didn't answer him.

Nagulat lang ako noong hawakan ako nito sa braso.

He is a tricycle driver and that's his living.

"Isasabay na kita ineng pauwi sa bahay niyo. At dadaanan din natin ang Papa mo, nakita ko siya sa kabilang bayan na kasama ang Mama mo. Pinapasabi na isabay na daw kita." Pilit niyang hinihila ang aking braso papasok sa kanyang tricycle. 

Nagpupumiglas ako pero agad itong may itinapal sa aking ilong at huli ko nang naalala ay ang pagbuhat nito sa akin pasakay sa kaniyang tricycle.

Nagising ako sa hindi pamilyar na lugar. Nang maalala ang huling nangyari ay agad akong kinabahan! Si Mang Conor!

Kinidnap niya ako!

It was hard to move because I was tied on the chair, both my hands and feet are tied using a rope. And my mouth has a duck tape. The chair I was sitting is placed in the middle of a dark room but open space area. There's only one door and the sides, I can see the dark outside. It's already night, I can see the moon showing up.

I am positive that I am in an abandoned building.

I was trying if I can removed the rope in my hands when the door burst opened!

Mang Conor entered with a knife in his hands.

I gritted my teeth. This old man!

"Mabuti at gising ka na at hindi na ako mahihirapan pa..." lumapit ito hangang sa mapunta sa likod ko, nakakadiri itong humawak sa balikat ko.
