NASH




I woke up to a massive unfamiliar room with white and gold walls and ceiling. I had no idea where the hell I am or how I got here, but everything around me screamed 'luxury'.

Napahawak ako sa aking ulo.

My head was pounding so bad. I groaned and closed my eyes tightly, hoping the throbbing would stop.

It didn't.

What happened to me? I needed answers, but first things first...

Where am i? where's everyone?

The last thing I remember was that man, who introduced himself as my grandfather, and I talking.

Ah, yes! Pinainom niya ako ng tubig.

Uhaw na uhaw ako and begging for something to drink. Binigyan niya ako and told me to take it slow, so I did. Then all of the sudden my heart began racing faster and faster, like someone was running a race against it. My blood started pumping through every pore in my body. And then, my vision began going blurry.

Hindi ako makapag-isip ng maayos dahil para akong nasusuka.

Suddenly, I heard the door slowly opening. Agad kong ipinikit ang aking mga mata at nagpanggap na tulog. The door opened and someone step inside the room, their footsteps sounding loud and echoing against the hardwood floor.

"He isn't awake yet ? I thought the drug only last a day or two? three days have passed," I recognized this voice, it's him.

Viktor

"He should be waking up soon, sir," a man responded. His voice was shaking.

"then why is he still asleep?" Viktor asked again and annoyance is now more visible in his voice.

"I-I don't know, sir—"

"You.don't.know?"

Then, I heard a click.

"If you can't answer me, it means there's nothing valuable inside here, so maybe I'll simply blow your head off..," he said in a threatening tone.

This is not good.

If I don't wake up right now, he'll definitely kill this poor man. I can't let that happen.

Maingat kong binuksan ang aking mga mata.

"I-I'm a-awake" I said in a weak and hoarse voice.

Pareho silang gulat na lumingon sa akin. Kaagad na itinago ni Viktor ang baril sa kanyang likod and smiled warmly as he approached.

"How are you feeling, hijo?" he asked and sat down on a chair next to my bed.

Hindi ko siya sinagot.

"Is there anything I can get you? Some water? Do you want something to eat?" he continued.

How can he act as if we're in good terms?

As if we've been close for years. I don't even know him aside from his name and his wrongdoings.

"W-Water..." Nanginginig na utal ko."N-No drugs p-please."

Tumawa siya "No worries. I won't do that anymore."

Mabilis kong ininom ang binigay niyang tubig na nasa bottle. I am so thirsty. I heard he chuckled as I finished it.

"You must be hungry too," Viktor turned to the man. "Prepare foods for my grandson. Make it quick."

"Yes, sir," the man nodded and left.
