IT’S BEEN two days since Ayn got into the hospital. But with that two days, she never saw Keus. Kahit man lang ang anino nito. And she can’t help but get mad.
“You! Where the hell is Keus?” Sigaw niyang tanong sa secretary ni Keus na siyang tanging bumibisita sa kanya sa loob ng dalawang araw.
Gaya ng mga nakaraang araw, Azrael, Keus’ secretary‚ always say that his boss is just busy.
Pero hindi naniniwala rito si Ayn.
It must be that, his bitch of a wife the one keeping her away from her. Kaya hindi niya maiwasang magalit pati sa innosenteng secretary ng lalaki.
“Sir Lixxion,” Napaupo ng maayos si Ayn nang makita ang kaibigan ni Keus sa pinto ng kwarto niya.
She wasn’t expecting this guy to come. But she certainly not like him around.
“I know you hate my presence but I promise to make this quick for you. Are you willing to cooperate?” Lixxion ask na nagpataas ng kilay niya.
She really hate the nerve of this guy. But she can’t let him ruin her name in Keus.
Masyadong malaki ang halaga ng tiwala nito sa plano niya at ng ama niya. Hindi siya pwedeng pumalpak dahil hindi lang buhay nya ang nakataya, kundi ang buhay din ng anak niya.
“What do you need from me?” Matapang niyang tanong. Though she was nervous, she tried her best not to stutter. She must think of her baby.
“Why did you and your father kidnapped Keus’ wife and their child?”
Nanlamig siya sa direktang tanong nito.
‘How the hell did they know about this?! No! Wala akong kasalanan. What I did was just to save my baby! This can’t be!’ Nag-aalala niyang sabi sa kanyang isip.
“A-Anong ibig m-mong sabihin?”
“I told you, if you cooperate with us, it’ll be easier for you. So let’s not beat around the bush. Just tell us what you know, and I’ll make sure to you that you and your baby will be safe.”
Ayn just want her baby to live. She might not be fortunate to have a family she was dreaming when she was little but‚ at least, she can make it with her child.
“MGA INUTIL!” Malakas na sigaw ng matanda sa harap ng mga tauhan nito.
“P-Patawad po‚ Don Artemio, masyadong marami ng bantay sa kwarto ni Miss Ayn. Mahirap pasuki—”
“Wala akong paki-alam! Patahimikin niyo siya! Patayin niyo kung maaari!” Sigaw nito na ikinayukod ng mga kalalakihan bago tumango sa kagustuhan ng amo.
Sa laki ba naman ng suhol sa kanila nito, malamang kahit ang pagpatay‚ papatusin nito. Lalo pa sa hirap ng buhay ngayon.
Ang problema lang, matapos malaman ng mga Andrade ang nangyari tatlong taon na ang nakakaraan, mas naging mahirap itong pasukin.
Mayamaya pa, ikinumpas nito ang kamay, hudyat ng pag-alis ng mga tauhan nito sa harap niya.
He can’t let this happen. He need to do something‚ kung hindi hihilahin niya ang lahat sa impyernong kababagsakan niya.
“Gawan mo ito ng paraan, Naia. Kung hindi, ako mismo ang papatay sa anak mo!” Galit nitong saad sa kabilang linya bago pinatay ang tawag.
“YOU’RE FINALLY awake.” Was what Eunice heard the seconds she woke up.
It was his doctor, Gregant. But it wasn’t what she had expected.
Nagawa naman siya. How can she wish Keus next to her the moment she woke up?
