BROKEN VOW TRILOGY: 3 (Last Broken Vow)

14: Rome Castellano

" the true Lance "

I need a plan. A one good plan in order for me to polish what I intended to do.

Kapag ngayon ako tatakas, mahuhuli at mahuhuli pa'rin ako ng papa niya.

With the money that I have now, hindi ako aabot ng malayo nito.

And if I'll go in a city, somewhere far from here. I don't know if Lance's father can reach me there knowing his connections.

I need a place where his father couldn't reach me. Not that far like going out in a country for I know I don't have that much in order to sustain my escape plan.

I just need somewhere not far, but secluded. Enough to not be able for anyone to disturb me.

Yung tipong kahit mamumuhay lang ako ng simple pero at least mabubuhay pa'rin ako.

Itong sem nalang ang tatapusin ko. Hindi na ako mag-o-OJT.

I know my lola wanted to see me graduate in college,but knowing my situation now..I need to postpone it for the main time.

Hangga't andyan ang mga Santibañez, hindi ako matatahimik dito sa Sta. Paredes.

Konting panahon lang ang kailangan ko upang maisakatuparan ang mga binabalak.

Una, kailangan ko munang mag-ipon ng maraming pera. I could not make it without the money.

Kaya kahit nakakatakot, kailangan ko munang magtiis ng ilang linggo kay Lance. Hihintayin ko nalang matapos tong semester saka ako titigil at tatakas.

Pangalawa, kailangan walang makaalam nitong aking pagtakas. Not even Kai..

Thinking about Kai now gives a hard thump in my chest.

Kai is my only family left in this place.

If the Santibañez will come after him by the time I will not be here anymore, I know they could not get anything from him. By not telling him the truth is the only way to save him.

Pangatlo, dapat hindi obvious na tatakas ako one day. I should endure it until the time that I need to go. Dapat hindi sila magkaroon ng ideya o duda na tatakas ako.

Pang-apat, mag-isip ng magandang lugar kung saan pupunta at tatakas. Ihanda lahat ng kakailanganing dokumento..just in case magagamit ko ito sa future. Babalik lang ako ng Sta. Paredes hangga't hindi na mga Santibañez ang mga namumuno rito.

Panglima..

Try to never be killed by Lance.

Yun lang..para magawa ko ang mga plano.

Wala na akong pakialam kung ano na ang nangyari sa dalawang babaeng yun kung patay na nga ba sila o buhay. Basta buo na ang desisyon ko. Aalis ako sa bayang ito sa lalong madaling panahon!

" Losing thoughts,huh." Napalingon ako kay Lance na ngayon ay kalalabas lamang ng banyo.

He's not wearing the robe. It seems like he will just sleep on his clothes.

I just stare at him trying to observe if the Lance I am with a while ago is still the Lance I am facing right now.

" What? Hindi ka magsasalita, bitch? "

Fuck.

Hindi na nga siya yung Lance kanina.

Naging alerto agad ako at tumayo. If it takes me to get out in this room just to escape him tonight, I will do that.

I'm sure..this is not Lancelot. If this is James, then I'm doomed already.

There is no fucking way I will let him hurt me again.
