Reincarnated in that Story

Prologue

Prologue: Her

Geca Rella, 29 years old single woman. Well, sa hindi naman pinag-ya-yabang mayroon naman akong mga manliligaw noon, a dozens to be exact.

But I turned them down because of my high standard’s. Hindi naman  masiyadong mataas ‘yung standard ko.

‘Masiyado lang silang oa!’

Matatas na ba ‘yung mabait, may respeto, ma-ginoo at higit sa lahat yung possessive na may pagka-obssesive? Iyong kapag nagseselos s‘ya may line s‘yang
‘You are only mine Geca’ sabay na nanlilisik ang mata at nakatiim-bagang?

Sinisisi ko itong lahat dahil sa mga romance novels na mga binasa ko.

Can’t you blame me?

All girl wants that type of guy and I am one of them.

Hindi naman ako masiyadong nagsisi dahil nakapag-tapos ako ng pag-aaral at sa ngayon, I learned different job because of my single era. I experience being an accountant, teacher and being an fashion designer.

Because of that, I was able to build my own kingdom. I am the CEO of the most popular and richest company in the Philippines!

But in life, there’s no temporary.

On that starry night, I disguised myself and went to the nearest bookstore to buy the last series of the book that I’ve been reading since highschool. I’m on my way home when some dudes block my way and kidnap me.

Dinala nila ako sa isang abandonadong lugar, they raped me. I am so fucking disgusted with myself, I can’t fight. Binaboy nila ako ng paulit-ulit hanggang sa magsawa sila.

‘Why are they doing this to me?’

Pagkatapos nila akong pagsawaan ay isinakay nila ako sa kotse at basta nalang nila ako tinapon sa kalsada.

Umiiyak akong umuwi sa bahay. In that time, It feels like my life was a trash, a dirty trash. Ginawa ko ang pa din ang trabaho ko sa kompanya, sa kabila ng naranasan ko. But my assistant said that I need a rest because she believes that I am tired in work.

‘No! They raped me!’

One day, when I was in my house. I look into the mirror, my eyes was lifeless. Nagkalat ang make-up sa mukha ko.

I decided to take a bath. Naalala ko ang pang-bababoy nila hanggang sa namalayan ko na lang na humahagulgol na ako.

The heart-wrenching memories of the traumatic incident replayed in my mind like a never-ending nightmare, leaving my feeling shattered and violated.

Mariin kong kinuskos ang aking katawan hanggang sa mamula ito.

Hindi ko namalayan na dahan-dahan na akong lumubog sa bathtub at hinayaan ang sariling lamunin ng kadiliman.

As the water closed in around her, swallowing her cries and her pain, Geca Rella’s light was extinguished, leaving behind only a tragic tale of a once-mighty woman brought to her knees by the unforgiving hands of destiny.

Bago s‘ya tuluyang lamunin ng kadiliman, ngumiti ito.

‘Finally, I will see you Mom and Dad. It’s been 29 years since you left me and I will never be an orphan kid again.’

And with that, she closed her eyes. Embracing the darkness.
