The Lust Nights (Nightclub Series #1)

42

I heard him cry and my heart sank as I heard him sob quietly. He knelt in front of me and took my hand in his. He looked at my eyes, which were filled with regret.

"Babawi ako" determinado niyang aniya pero umiling ako at nag-iwas. Hindi na ako naghahangad na bumalik siya dahil sa kagagawan niya. "Are you still mad at me?"

"Leave me alone!" Pagtatabuy ko sa kanya pero umiiling lang ito habang umaalo ang balikat niya. "I love you, please..." hinigpitan niya ang hawak sa kamay ko na pilit kong kinakawala.

"Hindi mo ako mahal kaya please lang lubayan moko!" mariin kong aniya. "But you love me still?"

His eyes are filled with hope as he waits for me to speak. "No, I don't love you anymore," I say, disgustedly. Nakita ko kung pano dumaan sa mata niya ang sakit pero nag-iwas lang ako.

He stood up, wiped his tears with the back of his hand, and gave me a pained smile. "All right, I'll wait for you until the time comes, even if I don't think you'll forgive me, and I'm sorry for putting you in a situation you don't deserve," he said before closing the door.

"What are your plans then?" I heard my brother, Shawn, ask the police officer. We're sitting in the living room, waiting for the kidnappers' call.

I stood up. "But the kidnappers said we didn't have to tell the police, what if something bad happened to Kie?" Shawn approached me, trying to calm me down.

"Fritzie, we don't have to trust them. You know it's dangerous if Keanu was the only one to take back your daughter. Look Fritzie, I'm doing this for my niece," he said.

Makalipas ang ilang oras ay nakarinig na kami ng tawag, padilim na rin ang kalangitan.

The police open the laptop and begin programming. They said we didn't have to trust the kidnappers and that if they didn't obey, we might have a backup plan.

Keanu went to the location specified by the kidnappers in Plan A. Plan B is where the kidnappers nest if they do not follow what they said as a rule.

"Sasama ako" sabi ko ng pasakay na ang lalaki pero umiling ito. "No, you'll stay here." nakangunot ang noo niyo. "Tama siya Fritzie, kailangan nating maghintay." umiling ako sa kapatid.

"No, ayokong mamatay kakahintay--"

"Anak naman..." Si Mama pero umiling lang ako.

"We have to trust the police, Fritzie." aniya ni Papa pero nanaig pa rin sa puso ko na kailangan kong sumama dahil kung hindi ako sasama ay baka mamamatay na akong kakaalala.

"Please..."

"Fine, but you're going to stay here pag nakarating na roon." aniya Keanu at agad naman akong pumasok sa sasakyan at umupo sa front seat sinuot ko ang seatbelt.

"Mag-iingat kayo." aniya Papa na tinanguan namin at tumingin ako sa kapatid ko na pumunta sa bintana ng lalaki at agad ding binuksan ng lalaki ang bintana.

"Take good care of my sister."

"I will."

"What's our plan?" I asked as he drove. It was already getting dark, and I could see his brow furrowing. "What are you talking about?"

"We should have a plan, Keanu," I said, but he shook his head. "You're going to stay here, that's all," he declared emphatically.

"What?" inis kong aniya. "Kaya nga ako sumama para tumulong."

"Kasama ko ang mga pulis. Hindi mo na kailangang sumama, dito ka lang." inis akong nagsumiksik sa may bintana.

Nang makarating kami sa sinasabing location ay pinanood ko ang lalaking bumaba habang hawak-hawak ang pera. Lalabas na sana ako ng humarang siya sa akin at pinosasan ako para hindi maka-alis.

"Keanu!"

"Shhh...maririnig ka nila."

"Pakawalan moko" mariin kong aniya.

"No, I can't risk you," he said softly, but I just rolled my eyes.

"Fritzie," he called. "If something bad happens to me...I just want to say that I love you," he stated solemnly. "I still love you, I will always apologize for everything I did, and I can't let you risk, so I should be the one to risk," he said, and I creased my brow and looked at him.

"You're not going to die, and if you do, I'll never forgive you, dumbass," I said, and his lip parted as I said those words.

He smiled as his gaze moved to my lips. My eyes blink twice before his lips touch mine. My heart began to race as I felt the warmth of his lips. I closed my eyes as he began to open my mouth with his tongue.

He held my cheeks and kissed my lips, and when we both came to, he cleared his throat. "I'll have to go," he said as if nothing had happened between us.

Fritzie, why did you let him in? Are you insane?! I close my eyes to try to calm down, but I almost jump when the officer opens the door! "I'm sorry if I startled you" said the police, unlocking the pose on my hand.

Pagkatapos matanggal ang posas ay pinalipat ako sa ibang sasakyan sa may madilim na parte ng lugar para hindi kami makita ng mga kasamahan ng kidnapper.

Narito kami sa abandunadong ospital, Sa do kalayuan ay may mga sirang poste at may Street light na may ilaw ngunit patay sindi ang mga ito.

Napatingin ako sa laptop. "Nilagyan namin ng maliit na camera ang asawa mo upang makita namin kung sino ang mga suspect." aniya ng isang may matandaang pulis. Nangunot ang noo ko. "Hindi ko po siya asawa." nagtaas ang kilay nito at di na lang ito pinansin.

Maririnig ang mahinang paghinga ng lalaki pati ang paglalakad niya. "Where are you?" Keanu's voice on the screen asked, "I already have the money you requested; show yourself and bring me my daughter," he says solemnly.

We saw a shadow and heard a baseball bat hit the floor. "Ihagis mo dito, Yang!" sigaw ng lalaki sa may kadilimang parte ng ospital.

"Ibigay mo muna ang anak ko." kalmadong aniya nito.

"Akin na ang Bata!" Sigaw nito. May dalawang lalaki ang lumabas hawak-hawak ang anak ko. Mukhang kagigising lang ni Kie. Tutok ang mata ko sa screen habang nakatingin sa anak.

Wala naman itong galos pero nakangunot ang noo nito. "Wait, bad kidnappers!" said Kie. "Don't hold me like this," Kie says, holding her hand and showing it to the two kidnappers.

Napakamot ba sa batok ang dalawa. "Mga gung-gung hawak an niyo! Nagpapauto na naman kayo sa bata!" aniya ng isa at agad namang hinawakan ang anak ko.

Kie rolled her eyes. "So what now? I'm ready to go home."She sighed, pouting.

"Ihagis mo na yang hawak mo at ibibigay na namin ang Bata." sabi nito. "No, I want you to give me Kie first before giving you this," Keanu said, not trusting the kidnappers.
