Part-Thirteen

BADA's POV

Days had passed since Zaffy's birthday, and ever since she's always been unfocused and spacing out, making me worry so much.

"Love?" I called her, but she kept on fidgeting with the pen in her hand as I walked towards her and held her shoulder.

"Zaffire?" Tawag ko ulit

She quickly looked at me and smiled, like she wasn't spacing out a few seconds ago.

"Why didn't you tell me, na andito kana?" She asked before standing up and hugging me.

"I called you, but your spacing out is everything alright?" I asked while caressing her back. She nodded her head before pulling herself away and smiling at me.

"I just have a lot of things in my mind that made space out, but there's nothing to worry about," she said. I stared at her eyes, and they were genuine, so I patted her head as I pulled her to walk toward the studio.

"How about we dance it out?" I asked with a smile. Her smile went wide and she excitedly nodded her head while I went to show her what the steps were.

"Why are you not thinking bada? That post would create so much chaos, don't you understand that?" A loud yell covered the whole room as I stood in front of Mr. D, looking at him without any care.

"Chaos or not, I repeatedly told you I'm not going to hide my girl because you told me to, so get a grip and understand what I said if you still can't try using a translator." Malamig na sabi bago tuluyang lumabas sa office.

I went to grab my phone as I walked outside.

I was dumbfounded as I saw the post and all the bash that has been thrown at us.

"Bada, can you say hi to the live?" a fan asked, making me drop out on Revier. I looked at the live and tried to smile.

They were asking questions, but I wasn't in the right state to answer.

"Guys, sorry, I have to go now to meet you," I politely said before running inside the studio.

"Boss prep na start in a few," bungad sakin ni lusher, so quickly texted Zaffy.

I quickly went to Lushner and asked for the script.

My body froze as I looked at it, and my hands were sweating cold as I reached the last question.

"Why the fuck is it all about me and Zaffy?" I muttered to myself, feeling furious. I was about to walk towards the producer when I received a notification.

I was stopping my tears from falling as I read her message.

"What the fuck?" I muttered to myself.

NOZE's POV

I was looking at my parents, who were standing in front of my door. I was still shocked by their sudden visit.

"What are you doing here?" gulat pa ring tanong ko. A loud slap landed on my face.

"You really can't do anything, right?" Mom furiously asked after slapping me across the face.

"What the fuck do you want?" Galit na sabi ko, but they didn't say anything. Dad just grabbed me by the arm and dragged me inside.

My hands tremble as the memories from the past run through my head.

"No, dad, please," I begged, trying to pull my arm back after realizing what was going to happen.

I was about to send a message to Kuya, but Kom quickly grabbed my phone.

"No!" I scream as I try to pull my arm back and take my phone back, but my dad pushes me into a room.

"Let's see if you would go against us after this again," mom said before they closed the door.

"NO!" I ran to the door, but it was already too late.

I was screaming and banging on the door, begging them to open it, but their ears were closed. I was sweating and trembling as the memories that I didn't want to remember kept flashing into my head.

"Bada..." I muttered until the lights turned off, making me scream and frightened.

"Let me get out, please!" I screamed as my tears streamed down my face. I tried looking around and went to the nearest window, but it was also locked. So I went to the drawers and saw if the keys were here.

"Damn it!" I cursed when I saw no keys.

I sat down on the floor, hugging my knees like a kid, asking for help,

but no one came...
