Living with Lights (Completed)

Chapter 29: Deliverance

[Keshia's POV]

Mahigpit na hinawakan ni Julian yung aking braso. Hindi ko halos mai-galaw yung sairili ko sa takot at dahil din sa paghihigpit niya sa aking braso.

"Please Julian! Bitiwan mo ako!" ang pagmamakaawa ko sa kanya, pero parang wala lang para sa kanya. He only has those emotionless face that made me shiver.

"Keshia, hindi ko na kaya" ang cold niyang pagkasabi sa akin. "Please let me make love with you..." he said that with that eagerness in his voice pero ganun parin ang kanyang mukha.

"Ano ba ang pinagsasabi mo? what's happening to you?!" I tried to break free, pero ang higpit ng kanyang pagkahawak sa akin. "PLEASE JULIAN! PLEASE!"

[Jarred's POV]

Pinuntahan ko si Karen sa location na sinabi niyang maghihintay siya sa akin. Oh I miss her so badly. Bawat daan minamasdan ko ng maigi, dahil baka makita ko siyang naglalakad o kaya naman ay nakaupo. And then there she was, patiently waiting for me. 

Lumabas ako kaagad sa aking sasakyan and went to her and hug her. "I miss you" I whispered to her ear. "I miss you more" ang maiyak-iyak niyang reply sa akin. I wiped away her tears and I gently kissed her lips. I love her so much. "Teka Jarred" she suddenly broke "I heard Keshia's been held captive, come let's save her!" she said concerned. "teka tatawagan ko muna sila Kennie" madaling sinagot ni Kennie yung phone niya "Nasaan kayo? Alam niyo na kung nasaan si Keshia?" 

Pinasalamatan ko pagkatapos si Kennie. "Nasa Gapa-ri sila" I told Karen "Let's go!" so we jumped in the car and hurriedly went to Gapa-ri.

[Keshia's POV]

Nanginginig na ako sa takot... Ikept pushing and kicking Julian away pero I can't set free. He pushed me to the ground and he kneeled in front of me, "Please Julian... wag! Don't you remember me anymore?!" 

I cried again as I made him remember that I am Keshia, his friend "Yes, I do. Infact! I do remember you're Keshia! You're Mr. Yoon's wife! HAHAHAHAH!" I fought back, pushed him again and kciking, fighting for myself and my survival. He started to take his shirt off, and then his belt. 

"Please Julian! No!" and opened his zipper... "Keshia!" tinignan ko ang pinagmulan ng boses nayun, and then I saw them.. Jensen, Karen, Jarred and Kennie... They're here to save me. Tumayo si Julian and fixed himself. "Well, well. If it's Keshia's heroes"  he said sarcastically. "too bad she's not available at the moment, if you want to save her, you'll gonna have to deal with me!" hinila niya ako patayo and he got his knife at inilapit niya ito sa aking leeg.

Ano ba ang gagawin ko? Kung gagalaw ako ng hindi nag-iisip, delikado... Baka it's going to be my end... What should I do so that I can escape from him?

Think Keshia! ano ba yung itinuro ng KNA&A sa self-defense? Think... Think! 

And then I remembered! Yes! tama I have to destract him! Kailangan kong paintindihin sila Jarred at Karen na may pinaplano ako. "Julian! pakawalan mo ang girlfriend ko!" kennie hissed. "Girlfriend? ha! si keshia?! Hoy! for your information, she's not your girlfriend~! she's my wife! kaya pwede kong gawin sa kanya kung anong gusto ko!"

I then started to send my message to Jarred and Karen, so I formed my fingers into letters and also spoke through my mouth what I wanted to let them know without any sound. "Keep distracting him!" I started. 

Karen and Jarred got the message and I was so happy that Jensen too knows what I was trying to tell them. "Kuya Julian!" wag mong saktan ang ate Keshia ko! wag mong hayaang magiging katulad ito sa nangyare kay Ate Vienese!" he shouted.

Naramdaman kong parang nanghina si Julain. I gave them another message "keep going" Karen faced Jensen and nod "Kung alam mo lang, mahal na mahal ka ni ate Vienese, hindi mo lang siya binigyan ng pagkakataon dahil sa pagkadistract mo sa iyong guilty conscience!" "HINDI TOTOO YAN!"ang pagdedefend nito "Kuya Julian, kung hindi mo sana iniral yang pride at guilt mo, tatanggapin ka naman namin eh! but instead you killed her!" umiyak si Jensen at yumuko si Kennie "It wasn't my fault! It was an accident!" Ic an feel Julian's body trembling. And I knew, that this is my queue, na pagkakataon ko na itong patalbugin si Julian Yoon.

I folded my knees and kicked his right leg hard that he even screamed a little. I pushed away his right arm, the one with the knife. I punched his face but he stumbled and feel off the cliff. "KESHIA!" Kennie called me. I tried to run, pero parang may naramdaman akong humawak ng aking balikat. "Not so fast!" 

ano ba to? double kill? bakit pa ba ako kailangang maging bait? huhuhu nangiginig na nga ako dito sa takot eh! "LARRY!" they all shouted in chorus. aye? sila lang ang nakakakilala nitong taong gumapos sa akin ngayon? "ano ba ang kailangan mo?!" Kennie asked him desperately. "simple, to make you're life Kennie Lim, Miserable!" he got his gun and placed it near my head. "Dahil hindi naman ako mahal ng minamahal ko," he looked at Karen "well, I decided to ruin your lovelife with this pretty girl too" 

"say your goodbyes and gollybies because I'm going to kill her.. in One... Two" I waited... I guess this is my end, kahit na ayaw kong umiyak sa last days ko sa earth, still, tears came rushing though out of my eyes.

*~BBBBBBBAAAAANGGGGG!

i opened my eyes and saw Larry lying lifeless behind me, we all looked stunned as we saw someone familliar is holding a gun that has killed Larry and has ended our hardships...

"Dad?!!" ang sabi ni Jensen at Kennie in Chorus.
