Chapter Twenty

Not Alone Anymore

Staying with Adam for another week has made me realize that I should stop from here and leave him... Dahil hindi naman talaga ako nakakabuti sa kaniya. At ipapahamak ko lang siya.

Nakausap ko si Kuya Levi at balak daw akong kunin ni Kuya Aldrich. I know Aldrich Zachmann and he's very dangerous to Adam. Sure Adam's family is powerful pero hindi rin naman bastang mga tao lang ang mga Zachmann. They have connections with people and I'm afraid Aldrich would use it to get to Adam. Just thinking about it makes me scared.

"Bakit ako gustong kunin ni Kuya Aldrich..."

"You're his sister, Aeva..."

Ilang sandali akong natahimik at nakadikit lang sa tainga ko ang phone ko. "Isn't he mad at me, Kuya Levi." Huminga ako.

"Well, he is... But you're still family, so..." Kuya Levi sounded a little unsure.

I sighed. "Uuwi po ako nang kusa, kuya..." Pagkatapos ay muli pa akong huminga at umiling. Hindi ako pwedeng basta na lang bumalik sa mga Zachmann. What if they'd kill me for my betrayal? I'm still a traitor to them. Paano kung gusto lang talaga akong pauwiin ni Kuya Aldrich para parusahan. And this time my punishment would already be my death...

To be honest, siguro ay naisip ko na umuwi pa rin sa mga Zachmann. Because I still think that they are my family. At sa huli ay wala rin naman akong matatakbuhan... If I'm just alone maybe I would do it and take the risk of probably being punished again. But I'm not alone anymore...

I have my child with me now. So I can't take that risk and also risking my child's life...

I also thought of just telling Adam that I'm pregnant with his child. And maybe he could help me in keeping our child safe... But I had doubts... I doubted him...

"Why are you keeping me here in your place, Adam?" I asked him. Because I wanted to know already. I want to know of his plan. Kung ano ba talaga ang gusto niyang gawin sa akin.

Bumaling siya sa akin at nagkatinginan kami. "Why do you ask? You're only here to pay your sin, Aeva." he coldly said.

Halos mapalunok ako sa lamig ng mga mata niyang nakatingin sa akin.

Sometimes I feel like Adam could forgive me... But most of the times ay ganito siya. He's cold and distant... That it makes me doubt him, too... I don't know anymore what he's thinking.

So in the end I chose to contact Kuya Levi and asked him to help me even just until I give birth. Pagkatapos kong manganak ay baka bumalik din ako sa mga Zachmann... I mean I don't think I know how to live my life after this...

All my life I've been living with the Zachmanns. And aside from the family I grew up to, si Adam lang sana ang mapapagkatiwalaan ko rin... But I realized that I couldn't depend on him...

"Then... when will you be done with me?" I asked him as I looked at him with my eyes probably looking almost lifeless now...

Nanatili ang mga mata ni Adam na nakatingin sa akin. Sa huli ay sinabi niyang, "That's for me to decide." He said.

I thought that maybe he just couldn't make up his mind... But until when? At hindi na ako sigurado na kung sasabihin ko ba sa kaniyang buntis ako ay magbabago pa ang isip niya...

I just wasn't sure anymore...

At gusto ko lang makasiguradong magiging maayos ang anak ko. So I asked for my brother's help instead. And after Kuya Levi agreed pinlano ko na rin ang pagtakas ko sa condo ni Adam. I'm still Aeva Zachmann after all. I was trained enough to be able to do such a task. Ang pagtakas dito sa puder ni Adam ay hindi naman talaga ganoon kahirap... Lalo na at siya lang naman ang nagbabantay sa akin at napansin kong wala nang iba pa. After observing for weeks I realized that. At hindi rin naman talaga mahigpit ang pagbabantay ni Adam... And I think I can just make my way out of here...
