"Sabihin niyo nga, ano bang gagawin niyo sa'kin? If you're gonna treat me like this then it much better if you let me go home!" I exclaimed.
With his usual serious face, Lucas didn't mind me and continue to type whatever om his laptop. Liam on the other hand look at me and shrugged his shoulder while sitting comfortably on the sofa.
Bumaling ang tingin ko sa tumawa ng mahina. Lucian chuckled while looking at me with smirk on his lips. "Do you want to be treat like a hostage then? Hands tied up in a dark room while crying?"
I rolled my eyes. I'm effin serious here then he will just joke around? Who he think he is? We're not even close.
They're treating me like their friend or an ally. Malaya akong nakagagalaw at nakakaikot sa loob ng bahay, nawala na rin ang takot ko. Hindi ko alam peri napalagay na lang ang loob kong wala silang gagawin sa'kin. Baliw na kung baliw but I'm starting to think that they cared for me and I am seeing it these past days.
"Did I ask you? Are we even close?" I sarcastically raised my brow. He stopped for a bit but then chuckled afterwards.
He licked his lip. "Feisty huh?"
Hindi ko siya pinansin at bumaling muli sa dalawa. Sa inis ko ay sinipa ko ang tuhod ni Liam na nasa harapan ko na akmang hihigop sa kape niya. Natapon iyon at rinig na rinig ko ang pagmumura niya.
I was really fooled by his acting skills before. He made me believe that he's the kind of guy who's gentle and caring but no, he's such a wild beast.
"Too loud. Get out of here, y'all ruining my business."
Napalingon ako sa batong nagsalita. Nagdadabog akong lumapit sa kaniya at walang pasabing isinara ang ginagamit niyang laptop.
Nakita ko ang pagtiim ng panga niya bago unti-unting tiningala ako. Seryoso rin akong ibinalik ang tingin niya.
"Paalisin mo 'ko kung ayaw mo ng maingay." Saad ko rito.
He raised his eyebrow at me. "Why would I?" The side of his lips rose up.
Bumilis ang paghinga ko't tinitigan siya ng mariin. "I will definitely sue you for this."
Mas lumawak ang ngisi nito sa labi ng marinig ako. He raised his hand and swayed it. Napalingon ako ng makitang tumayo ang dalawa, they're about to leave when I stopped them.
"Where are you two going?"
Umiling lamang ang mga ito at tuluyang nawala sa paningin ko. I heard footsteps so I shifted my gaze at him and I saw how he walked towards the door and locked it.
I gulp, being nervous on what he might do.
Mapaglaro niyang dinilaan ang pang-ibabang labi nito bago ako lapitan. Napaatras ako dahil doon.
"Why are you stepping back? I won't do anything, Monic.." He said. Hindi siya tumigil sa paglapit sa'kin hanggang sa naramdaman ko na lamang ang table sa likod ko. I inhaled deeply.
"L-Lumayo ka.." tinulak ko ang dibdib niya palayo sa'kin ngunit hindi man lang siya natinag. He chuckled and cage me between his arms. Bahagya akong napaupo sa lamesa dahil doon.
Our eyes met and I can feel my heart beating rapidly for this man. Madilim ang mga mata niyang nakatitig sa'kin ngunit unti-unti itong lumamlam at naging malambot.
"Do you really want to... go home?"
Napahinto ako ng marinig ang marahan niyang tanong. Sa boses at sa bawat tingin niyang nagsusumamo sa'kin, nahihirapan ako.
He's not like that. Lucas is cold and serious man so I am not used to see him being gentle and almost begging for my answer.
I hesitated but my mind is clouded with the thought of seeing my parent's safety. "I want Lucas.."
Mas lumambot ang tingin na ibinibigay niya sa'kin. Huminga ako ng malalim bago siya bigyan ng maliit na ngiti sa labi.
"I don't know what's your reason for doing this. The time we spent, I believe that it's not just an act. I'm hoping that the Lucas and Liam I met is really them. Without pretending or anything, I hope you two have feelings for me too." I said gently.
I saw how he stopped. The hesitation is visible in his eyes. "Too? Y-You love me? You have feelings for us?"
I slowly nodded my head. I want to let him know what I feel. "Kahit sandali lang 'yon Luc, I built my feelings for you. K-Kaya hindi ko maintindihan.. Hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit tayo napunta sa ganito?"
I saw how pain crossed in his eyes. Hindi ko alam kung namalikmata ako o nakita ko iyong kumislap dahil sa naka-ambang luha sa mga mata.
"I'm sorry, Luna.. I'm so s-sorry.." he said with full of regret.
Hindi ko na pinansin ang tinawag noya sa'kin at hinawakan ang pisngi niya. I caressed it and smiled at him. "You don't need to. I just want you to let me go home.."
"But.." he bit his lower lip, thinking about something. "If I let you, I won't see you again. A-Ayoko no–"
I didn't let him finish with his words. "Who said that? Sinabi ko bang hindi ako babalik?"
Bumalis ang paghinga ko. Hindi nawala ang ngiti sa labi ko ng patakan ko siya ng mabilis na halik sa labi. Napahinto ito at napatitig sa aking mga mata na parang nagsusumamo sa'kin.
"Lucas, when you you.. you two came from my life, you became part of it. I can't live my life if some parts of it are missing right? Believe me, babalik ako. I just want to think and see my parent. Babalik ako sa'yo.."
"They're not.. you belong to us and not to them.."
"What?" I asked when he whispered something that I didn't hear. He just shook his head and gave me a smile.
"I'm letting you go and see them Monic. Just promise me that you'll come back to my arms and I would welcome you not being a captive but being my Queen." Hinawakan niya ang pisngi ko at masuyo iyong hinaplos, I closed my eyes to feel him.
"At kung hindi, fuck your parents but I would do anything I can just to have you again. Remember that Kizeah Monic." He whispered with so much danger and authority.
Nanatili akong nakapikit at dinadama ang haplos niya sa aking pisngi nang bigla akong napamulat sa sunod kong narinig.
"But of course, I'm not letting you go without any assurance that you'll come back to me." Nakita ko ang mapanloko niyang ngisi. "To us.."
"H-Huh?"
