Mahigpit ang hawak ko sa tray habang pinipilit na h’wag magawi ang tingin sa kanila. Nanginginig ang aking mga tuhod sa pinaghalong takot at kaba habang naglalakad patungo sa bakanteng lamesa upang umupo.

Nagsimula akong kumain pilit paring iniiwasan ang tingin na ibinibigay sa akin. Nasundan pa ng ilang beses ang ginawa sa akin ni Josh. It was his new habit, every night he would come to my room and do everything he wanted from me. 

May nakakakita ngunit takot na magsumbong, o talagang sadyang ayaw nilang magsabi dahil sa kaisipan nilang ‘yon ang parusa sa akin.

He approaches me with a smug look on his face and a casual demeanor, as if he has no idea what he did. Hinila niya ang isa sa upuan sa harapan ko at naupo roon. I flinch at the sight of him, my body still remembering the abuse that he inflicted upon me.

“Eat all you want, Faith, so you have energy later.” he teased while grinning widely at me.

I feel a lump on my throat when the panic arises on me especially that he's already in front of me. Gustong kong umiyak at magmakaawang tigilan na niya ngunit alam kong walang silbi ‘yon. He can do what he wants, after all he’s the owner of this facility. Kayang kaya niyang baligtarin ang mga pangyayari at mas lalo akong pasamain sa mata ng mga tao.

My heart started beating rapidly and I felt myself shaking all over. He's still smiling at me as he comes closer to me. I can feel myself sweating as I try to control my breathing.

Nanginig ang kamay ko at bahagyang natapon ang sabaw na dapat ay hihigupin ko. Narinig ko siyang mapanuyang tumawa ng makita ang paghihirap sa akin dahil nasa harapan ko siya.

“Easy.. I still don't do anything, takot ka na agad.” he mockingly said. 

Nanatili akong walang imik habang nakatitig sa pagkain ko. Ngunit agad natigilan ng basta niya iyong kinuha at itinapon sa akin. I gasped loudly shrieking on my seat when the hot soap traveled on my skin. I keep trying to calm myself, but I feel like I'm in a state of shock.

“Still not talking?” may inis na sa tono nito habang pinapanood akong umiyak sa ginawa niya.

I kept my head down and said nothing, unable to look at him or acknowledge what he did in any way. The physical pain from the hot soup he flung at me stung but the reminder of what he did to me stung even more.

Akmang muling lalapit para hawakan ako ng may humitak sa polo niyang suot. Malakas ‘yon na halos ikabuhal nito, nakita ko ang pagguhit ng irita at galit sa mukha niya ng lingunin ang may sala ng paghatak.

“What the hell are you doing?” matigas na sabi ng lalaki habang walang emosyon na nakatingin kay Josh.

The sudden change from the smug demeanor he had shown was surprising. He was obviously not expecting someone to step in to defend me. The man who he saw standing before him was tall and imposing, with a stern expression on his face.

“D-Dr. Clemonte.” he said in a high pitched voice.

The man before him, Dr. Clemonte, has a commanding presence and the Josh tone of fear indicates his respect for the doctor. Kahit ako ay nakaramdam ng takot habang nakatingin dito. 

He has a dominating aura, standing six four tall, he has eye glasses but it can't hide his cold black eyes, along with the slit scar near to his eyes. His devilish gray hair, and it loudly says that he has a foreign blood. I think he is in mid 20s.

Dr. Clemonte remained silent and his face held no expression, keeping his eyes on the man who had just tried to hurt me. His presence alone was enough to intimidate the man, who immediately began stuttering and trying to explain himself.
