Safahara De Leon's Point of View

♪All I wanted was you♪

The radio on the car keep blasting loud. The whole drive was silent. After two weeks ay nakalabas na kami ng hospital, and I found out nakunan pala ako.

I need to buy a new phone too, since my old one was misplaced somewhere.

♪Maybe then you'll remember to slow down♪

Nakatingin lang ako sa labas ng bintana habang nakikinig ng kanta.

Denzel said Samuel was sent back for another therapy. Doon naman talaga sila nakatira sa lugar na yun at okay lang din kasi nandun yung family niya. Xue Yen also came back to manage the company, Alt Entertainment.

I need to resign.

Actually, I've been planning on sending a resignation letter ever since I woke up.

Denzel also said he will run a business here on the Philippines daw. I don't know about Trixie, we never talked ever since she confessed what she did.

Biglang sumakit ang dibdib ko, I really thought we were friends.

Biglang humina ang kanta, I took a glance at may tumatawag pala kay Denzel so he lowered the radio sound.

"Hello this is Denzel Tan Elbanueba," He said in his professional voice.

"Yes....yes po, okay thank you." Yun lamang ang katagang sinabi niya bago i end ang tawag.

"I'm really sorry guys, I need to go somewhere kaya tell me where you wanna go and I'll drop you there. I'll check after I'm done with my meeting." Tumingin siya sa akin, "Please be safe." And he also looked at Trixie na nakaupo sa likod, "You too."

I almost forgot she's there. Hindi ko parin siya pinapansin. I'm still processing everything that happened. I want to understand her situation but my pride won't let me.

Can I be selfish and blame people around me? My heart wants to point at somebody and shout at them. My mind is going crazy.

I just hope time really heals time or else I'll forever live in this madness.

Hinatid una si Trixie dahil nasa malapit lamang ang kanilang bahay. When I saw Trixie's family waiting outside for her, parang may tumusok sa puso ko.

She looked back at me kaya umiwas ako ng tingin.

I may not say this loud but I wish I have someone like that. May it a family or a friend-someone who will be worried for you and wait for you.

Kahit kailan never kong hinanap ang aking pamilya. I'm on TV, they should know about me. Pero hinanap ba nila ako? Hindi. They sold me to an old couple, and they were lovely to be honest, but I was kidnapped and I was forced to watch someone die. I curse my real parents.

Sumandal nalang ako sa aking upuan habang nagmamaneho si Denzel papunta sa aking bahay.

I still have nightmares about what happened. I just wish they would disappear.

Marami pa din akoang aasikasuhin after this. My condo, my career, my therapist, and lastly, I need to visit Tyrone.

***

3 years later

"Hija! May nagpadala sa iyo neto." Eto ang bungad sa akin ng kapitbahay ko nung makarating ako sa bago kong bahay.

It's been what? 3 years ever since that happened. Hindi ko parin malimutan but I'm taking baby steps forward. I'm alive and well.

I resigned from my company, cleared something off from my social media before deactivating it, sold my five condos and my other house.

I started a new beginning.

"Thank you po." Ani ko at nagmano as a sign of respect. Tiningnan ko ang package, galing kay Trixie?

Sa loob ng tatlong taon marami ang nagbago, maraming tao ang nawala, maraming tao ang dumating. Me and Trixie fixed our issues and we became friends again. While Denzel on the other hand...

I looked at the sky. Maambon ang langit parang uulan ata.

....I never saw Denzel again after that day he dropped us off. No contacts, no letter, nothing. Parang naglaho na parang bula.

Wala naman akong reklamo, he helped us so much. Maybe he went back to his home and checked on Samuel. I just hope kahit isang word manlang ay binilin niya ngunit wala din naman akong magagawa.

Nung makapasok ako sa loob ng bahay ay binuksan ko ang package. I smiled when I saw some dresses and shoes.

I went through therapy last year and I can say I improved ever since then. It helped me a lot in overcoming things. I would still have traumatic nightmares sometimes but it's getting better now unlike before. I'm getting better.

Not the best but let's take it one step at a time.

I also saw an envelope inside the package so I picked it up.

"You are invited in Trixie Montegro and Ken Torobia's Wedding."

Yeah, Ken. That motherfucker. He said he quitted na daw on being Samuel's bodyguard the day after he shot that guy who talked to me in the Villa. Good for him.

I'm not close with him and I'm not trying to get a better relationship with him. He kept silent about who killed the kid and it's weighing on my heart.

Hindi ko alam kung paano sila nagkakilala ni Trixie. One day she just told me that she's in a relationship and then 2 years passed at magiging asawa na niya ito.

Time flies.

I smiled, bagay naman talaga eh. Di ko aakalain na sila magkakatuluyan. They're such a lovely couple.

Trixie still continued to pursue modelling and acting while Ken managed his factory business na binigay sa kaniya ng kaniyang parents.

My phone beeped, a text.

Tiningnan ko ito at galing pala kay Trixie.

"Hey, my in-laws invited the Elbanbuena twins. You good with that?"

Napataas ang kilay ko. Seeing them again together again?

"It's okay. I'll bring Daniel." I replied and smiled at the thought of him.

I just hope seeing them won't trigger something in me.

Samuel too huh? I guess they're invited because Ken's father wants to have some business deal with them, or, err i don't know.

"Oh you're soon to be husband din? Okay!" She replied with a laughing emoji. I chuckled.

Yeah, what's the worst that could happen?
