Chapter 50

Zylanne Cher's Point of View:

Hanggang ngayon, di parin nawawala 'yong kaba ko. Shit talaga. Ang tanga ko kasi eh.

"Cher, okay na 'yon."nakangiting pukaw ni Kuya Jordan.

Ugh. Hindi talaga okay 'yon. Muntik na akong mahimatay kanina. Aaaaaahhhhh! Kaasar.

---

"Cher?"

Shit. It's his voice! It's him and he's calling my name. Fck. Noooo. Shit. Para akong naestatwa sa kinatatayuan ko. Naaamoy ko narin 'yong pabango niya.

"Cher??"

Oh! Eat me now, grounds! Shhhhiiiiit!

"Sir Jed! Nagkaproblema po 'yong isang barko. May nasusunog po sa ilalim---"

"What?"

I heard their footsteps slowly fading away and I heaved out a deep breath of relief. Hoooo! Kamuntik na talaga 'yon!

--

Naibalik ko ang sarili ko sa realidad nang tumunog ang phone ko at napagtanto kong si Fear ang caller.

"Fear?"

"Can you come over, Cher?"he said from the other line with his voice panicking.

"Where are you? What happened?"natataranta naring tanong ko.

"Nasa St. Luke's kami Cher. Inatake na naman si Dyll."

What? Shit. Shit. Shit.

"Kuya Vince, sa St. Luke po muna tayo. Inatake sa puso 'yong kaibigan ko. I have to see him!"

Wala namang pag-aalangang sumunod si Kuya sa'kin. Nakarating agad kami sa hospital at agad ko rin na natunton ang  room niya. When I arrived, he was already awake. Only Fear is with him in the room.

"B-babe."he uttered groggily.

Lumapit agad ako sa kanya at hinawakan ang kamay niya. He looks so pale.

"Dyll..."naiiyak na sambit ko ng pangalan niya. "Magpagaling ka. Wag mo namang pabayaan ang sarili mo oh."

"Don't cry, babe. I'm still alive. Save those tears when I die---"

"Don't say stuffs like that!"naiinis na angal ko na nginitian lang niya.

"Don't worry Cher. I can't die yet. Just not yet. I have to keep on breathing. I have to live. I can't die yet."utal niya sabay pisil ng kamay ko. "Not now... not now that you aren't safe."

"Dyll? What are you talking about---"

"Listen to me, babe. Wag na wag kang umalis mag-isa. You have to leave now. I'll be fine Cher. Pupuntahan kita kapag nakalabas na ako rito at sasabihin ko sa'yo lahat."

"Just tell me now---"

"No. You have to go. They're on their way here by now. Promise you'll stay safe, my love."he said and let go of my hand.

I looked at him for one last time before I eventually got out of the room. His eyes are darker and more sorrowful. It's making my chest ache again. What made him say I'm not safe? I'm not safe from who?

"Miss Cher. On three, you run straight to the car and don't look back."kuya Jordan whispered as we made our way towards the parking lot.

"What---"

"Three! Run!"he yelled and automatically, my feet ran as fast as I can towards the car and got in.

What I heard next is the loud exchanging of deafening sound of gunshots. I saw flashes and sparks of bullets hitting the car but it left no trace. The car we're in is a bullet-proof. Kuya Vince started the engine and we safely vacated the place.

"Will kuya Jordan and the others be okay?"I can't help asking when we're already inside the house.

"They will be, Cher. Magagaling sila. Makakarating silang buhay, no worries."he assured me and went to dad's study to report the event.

Ridiculous. I wasn't scared I might die from that occurrence. What made me anxious is the safety of the people who are risking their lives to protect me. I just hope they are all safe.

"Baby? Are you okay?"nagpapanic na tanong ni mommy nang makapasok siya sa kwarto ko na humihingal pa.

"I'm fine mom. I'm fine. 'Yong mga kasamahan ni Kuya Vince, nakarating na po ba sila?"

"Hindi pa, anak."naiiyak na tugon niya.

"Mom?"

"Hindi na dapat ako bumalik eh... hindi ko sana nagulo ang buhay niyo ng daddy mo."

"Mommy, no. We'll be fine. Magiging okay ang lahat."naiiyak na rin na wika ko sa kanya saka ko siya niyakap.

THINGS COOLED DOWN after the shooting incident. 'Yong mga bodyguards ko, okay silang lahat maliban kay kuya Jordan na napuruhan at nakaratay ngayon sa hospital. Pero malaki ang paniniwala kong magiging okay din siya.

"Cher. Sorry talaga. Hindi na pwede. Kailangan na nating umuwi kaagad after school."pagpapaumanhin ni Kuya Vince that afternoon I begged him to drive me to the marina.

"Kuya, last na talaga 'to. Kakausapin ko lang siya."pamimilit ko pa. "Please kuya. Kakausapin ko lang siya. Pagkatapos nito, hindi na ulit ako makikipagkita sa kanya. May gusto lang akong linawin. Please kuya Vince."

"Cher..."

"Kuya? Please.." naiiyak na sumamo ko.

"Shit. How can I say no everytime you look at me that way? Promise me Cher, ito na ang huli."ani niyang nagpangiti sa'kin.

Niyakap ko siya. "Thanks, kuya. You're my hero."

"You're a sweet baby girl, Cher."

HINDI KO SIYA NAKITA pagdating ko sa lugar. Nakasalubong ko naman si Marcus kaya nagtanong kaagad ako kung nasaan si Damon.

"Nasa yate na. Kanina ka pa yata hinintay no'n. Nasa loob na siya. Just get in."he said and I immediately ran towards the yacht.

Kahit kinakabahan, pumasok parin ako sa loob para hanapin siya.

"Damon?"mahinang sambit ko.

Where could he be? 

"Shit. Maybe. Maybe, this is wrong. I should just at least go back and just get home."I scolded myself.

Bigla akong naiiyak. Sa tagal ng katangahang ginagawa ko, ngayon ko lang na-realize. He would find a way if he really wanted to see me. Isang buwan na ang nakalipas Cher, ikaw lang 'tong nagpapakatanga para makita siya.

Maybe then, dad's really right. He just told me everything to control me, to compel me. Dad is controlling him. Hindi niya talaga ako totoong mahal.

I have to get out of here. Napapunas ako ng luha ko at hindi ko sinadyang mapatingin sa labas.

What the fck! The ship is already sailing!
