The Bad Girl's Slave ( Playful Series#1) COMPLETED✅

Chapter 33

I quickly pressed the emergency button above his bed, to call the doctor. Wala pang isang minuto, at kaagad dumating ang doctor at isang nurse. Chineck nila ang vitals ni Verzine. I stood there silently watching them.

Verzine on the other hand keeps staring at me, while following what the doctor said.

"Mr. Galaxus do you hear me?
Please move your left finger if you hear me."

The doctor said and so he did. Tears fall in the corner of my eyes, when he respond. I'm really thankful na gising na siya!

Lumabas ako ng kwarto nang magring ang cellphone ko. I quickly answered when I saw that it's my Mom. I was taken a back, nang iyak ni Mama ang bumungad.

"Mama what's wrong...?"

I said in horror.

"Your daughter..."

Mama's voice broke as she answered. Napuno ng kaba ang dibdib ko.

"What happened to my daughter Mama..?"

"Someone... Kidnapped her..."

My whole world stops, when I heard that, I couldn't think straight as my body freezed.

"We went to the playground. I was watching Luna play but then, someone from behind smack my head Anak. I felt dizzy... I tried to get her back but... They're fast. They run away with her using a Black Van."

Mahabang paliwanag ni Mama habang nanatili akong nakatulala, trying to process everything.

"I already reported it to the police. You need to go back, please come home Anak."

Wala sa sarili akong tumango  bago patayin ang tawag. Nanghihina akong napaupo sa labas ng pinto, when the doctor called me. Kasunod nitong lumabas ang nurse, kaagad akong tumayo.

"Ms. Creighton, the patient is doing good. He's recovering fast, after 2 days pwede na siyang lumabas."

I nodded and thank the doctor.
Wala sa sarili akong pumasok sa loob ng kwarto. Pagpasok ko nakapikit si Verzine, I guess he's asleep. I sat beside him and hold his hand, like I'm borrowing strength from him.

"Verzine... I made a promise to her that I'll bring her father home, pero sa lagay mo ngayon at sa estado natin ngayon, malabong mangyari yun. I need to go back, Our daughter is in danger."

I burst into tears. I cried silently while holding his hand but then, I got shocked when his hand move. He's slowly opened his eyes at doon ko lang din napansin, that's he's also crying.

"Rye..."

Nanlaki ang mata ko, when he called me with my second name as if he remember me.

"Please... Let me come home with you, let's save our daughter together..."

He softly said as both of us, cry so hard. In that moment, there's a lot of questions in my head, I am confused but I nod at him.

2 days have passed and like what the doctor said, nakalabas na ng hospital si Verzine. We never talk again after that moment. Dumating ang Mama niya nung araw na yun so I went home, and I called my mom para makibalita kung may lead na sa anak ko, I also told her that I'll come back in 2 days and I'm coming home with Verzine.

He cleared his throat to caught my attention. Nasa loob kami ng sasakyan ko ngayon, kalalabas lang niya ng hospital at sinundo ko siya, dahil mamaya na ang flight namin papuntang Amerika.

"Rye... I already told my Mom about our past..."

He looks like a scared kitten when he said that. I just nod and focus myself on the road.

"Uhm... Are you not going to ask me anything...?

He said after a couple of  seconds. Hindi siya mapakali sa tabi ko, habang nagmamaneho ako.

"Ask you about what..?"

I respond with my eyes on the road, malapit na kami sa airport.

"About... What happened before..."

His words caught my attention. Actually, I'm really curious kung bakit hindi man lang niya ko tinanong about our daughter, and I really want to know what happened before but right now, ang importante sakin ay ang kaligtasan ng anak ko. Wala kong iba gustong gawin sa ngayon kung hindi ang makita si Luna.

"It doesn't matter to me Verzine, we can just talk about it some other time."

I coldly said trying to end the conversation. I'm not really in the mood to talk about other things, not when my daughter is in danger. He cleared his throat. 

"Our daughter... How old is she..?" 

Bahagya akong natigilan. Our daughter...

"She's 4."

He nodded. 

"What's her favorite color?"

Kinurot ang puso ko nang makita ang pinaghalong sabik at lungkot sa mga mata niya, nang tanungin niya iyon. 

"Pink... She love Disney."

Sagot ko habang nanatili ang mga mata sa kalsada. Tumingin siya sa bintana ng sasakyan at hindi na muling nagsalita pa. The rides become silent until Rhyme called me. She's the sixth member of my gang.

"Hello Hail, I sent you an email. We have leads about your mother, and it seems like it's also connected to the case of your daughter."

My heart hammered, after what she said. After 4 years... Finally! Meron na ding lead about my Mom's case, but I didn't expect that it will be connected as well, sa pagkawala ng anak ko.

I'm dying so hard to check my phone and read the email, but I decided not to. I am driving and I'm afraid, it will distract me.

"Alright. I'll check it later, thank you Rhyme."

"Your welcome Hail. See you at the head quarters."

She said before ending the call.
At my peripheral vision, I saw how Verzine look at me, with eyes full of questions. It seems like he badly want to ask me about something, but he's doing his best to stop himself.

"Just ask me."

I said with a heavy sigh. He didn't waste time and quickly ask me.

"Rye what happened to your Mom..?"

I did see that coming but I still don't know how to answer it.

"I'm sorry for asking..."

Bulong niya matapos ang ilang minuto, na hindi ko pagsagot.
I took a deep breath.

"You don't need to apologize, I told you to ask me..."

Bumuntong hininga ako bago magpatuloy.

"And to answer your question... My mom died Verzine."

His mouth drop because of shock.

"I'm sorry."

He said nang makabawi sa pagkabigla.

"You should be. Because you weren't there for me."

I said as I chuckled without humor.

"Kidding..."

Dugtong ko, when I saw his reaction.

"When did she die..?"

He asked after a couple of silence. My heart ache as bitter sweet memories flow into my soul. I cleared my throat to stop myself from crying.

"The day you accused me of  cheating, is the day my mother died Verzine."
