Defending the Inevitable [On-Going]

Chapter Thirteen- WYNRELLE

The music that Alba requested died down and it was back on the club-like-bass-boosted noise. My hands were holding Alba's hand on my waist to 'supposedly' remove it. But it felt like time stopped for my hand to 'supposedly' move.

"Izar" She repeated calling me, now with no reaction on her face. She slides her view from my eyes towards my waist then towards Alba. One of her eyebrow lifts up as if questioning me and my mere existence.

"Razielle! Ikaw nga!" Finally, this girl Alba removed her hand from my waist then proceeds on hugging the other.

"Oh! Wait! This is Izar nga pala, Raz. Izar, this is Razielle. She's actually my ex—"

"Alba! Ang bibig ha. That was a long time ago. We didn't even have the slightest idea why we became a thing back then. Gosh, Alba!" Mahabang sabi ni Professor Verajuela. Minsanang ko lang ito marinig mag-salita ng mahaba at pasigaw pa.

Exes huh? Matinik pala itong si Ma'am. Psh. What a real small world. Akala ko ay besties lamang sila. Mag-ex pa nga!

"—but! We're practically platonic best friends right now. Ito kasing si Razielle, alam mo mahilig kasi itong mag-experiment." Litanya pa ng isa. Habang si Ma'am naman ay tinatakpan na ang bunganga ni Alba na siya namang iniiwasan nito. Para silang mga bata.

"You're like little brats." Mahina ko lang sana itong sasabihin pero narinig nila parehas kaya agaran silang napaharap sa akin and screamed at my face, "No! we're not!" Sabay irap sa isa't isa.

"N-nankie! Yo." Ang pinsan ko namang si Arc ang sumulpot nalang kung saan habang hinihingal pa. "L-let's go.. Kailangan na nating umalis" kahit nahihirapan siyang mag-tagalog ay pinipilit pa niya.

"Why? Arc. He-hey! I'm with someone oi. Teka." Hinihila na kasi nya ako paalis. I can feel that some people are already looking in our side. "I apologize in advance. Hindi ako nag-ingat."

"You. What are you doing?" Somebody grabbed Arc's wrist. Pagharap ko sa kanya ay laking gulat ko nalang na si Professor Verajuela pala ang halos bumabali sa kamay ng pinsan ko.

"A-acck! Woman! Ananke is not safe here, can you leave my hand alone?!" Namimilipit sa sakit si Arc. Wala naman akong magawa dahil biglaang dumilim ang buong Persephone's. Total darkness. I can't. I felt my ears ringing and my chest breathing heavily.

"Razielle, anong ginagawa mo?! Stop it na." Alba's voice was almost inaudible dahil aside from panicking I haven't noticed that someone starting pulling me out of the chaotic crowd. "H-hey, w-ho the hell a-are you?!" Hindi ko alam kung naririnig pa ako ng taong 'to dahil bukod sa nahihilo ako dahil sa alak ay kinakapos na ako ng hininga sa mga nangyayari ngayon.

I tried to focus on my working senses. Dahil hindi ko nakikita itong lalaking 'to I tried feeling his hand. Malaki ito at makalyo halos masakop nito ang kamay ko. I tried with all my strength to remove his hand with my free hand but he's just strong.

"H-hey let go of me! Sino ka ba!" Adrenaline came rushing in my veins. I seemed to have found my voice. But his deep voice startled me.

"Quiet, kid" Freakin' hell. It's....

Him.

That's why Arc was giving me a heads up. Shit.

"U-uncle. Le-let go please. S-stop" I'm on the verge of crying real hard. The fear that's been sleeping in my unconscious thoughts suddenly woke up. Ano pa bang gusto nyang gawin sa akin. I am already ruined by him. Ginawa ko ang makakakaya ko para kumalas sa hawak niya. "N-no! P-please. L-let go!"

Hindi ko alam kung saan niya ako dinadala, nagkakagulo na ang mga tao dito sa club dahil sobrang dilim pa. Napakabilis siguro ng mga pangyayari hindi ko namalayan na may cellphone pala ako sa bulsa. I tried reaching it, but this big man is really being rough right now. Ghad. I must get away from this. Because God knows kung ano na naman ang daranasin ko sa lalaking ito.
