I'm in Love with My Kidnaper (One shot story)

Life with Enzo

*Flight AB0927 Barcelona to Manila is now ready to board*

"Mom, I'm so excited." sambit niya habang inaayos ang kanyang seat belt. 

I lean forward to help him fix his seat belt, and give him a quick kiss. "Are you ready to see where mommy grew up baby?" 

"Yes mom! And I can't wait to see Lolo. I want to try surfing in Siargao Mom! Or go on Whale Shark diving in Cebu. Go beach'n in the Visayas and party at night in Boracay Mom!" Sobrang saya niyang pagkakasabi. "I heard all of those from Lolo." 

"Did Lolo promise to bring you there?" I tap his head and smiled at him.

"Yes Mom! He even promised me that we will go on hiking!" mababakas ang sobrang saya sa kanyang mukha. All of his life kaming dalawa lang ang laging magkasama kaya sobrang saya niya to find out that we are finally moving to the Philippines for good.

"Hahahaha! Seems like you're really excited and your Lolo forgets that you're only 5!" biro ko sa kanya.

"I'm big boy already!" he pout his lips and i always find it too cute. 

"Then, I assume you'll be a good boy the entire flight! Yeah?"

"Okay Mom. Promise." he put his headset on and focus on the tv in front of his seat. 

Limang taon na din ang nakalipas simula nung huli kong tapak sa Pilipinas. Limang taon na ang nagdaan pero sariwa pa din sa ala-ala ko lahat ng nangyari bago ako tuluyang lumipad papuntang Spain. Yung araw na dinukot ako, yung araw kung saan simulang nagbago ang takbo ng buhay ko. 

After few minutes the plane finally board. While staring at my son I started to love every bit of myself. I never thought that I can raise him on my own. After the incident kasi Dad forced me to move in  to Spain, lalo na at nalaman niya that I was pregnant. He actually wanted to charge rape case sa mga kumidnap sakin noon but i begged him not to. Hindi ko alam why, but ang alam ko lang it wasn't right. So, para maging maayos ako at makatakas sa mga judgments ng relatives namin he sent me to Spain. 

I was 18 back then, I was in the middle of my studies in college kaya ayoko talaga sanang umalis ng Pilipinas. But Dad is Dad. Kailangan ko siyang sundin. So i went to Spain and started my life there.

After I gave birth to my son, I went back to studies. Good thing Dad sent  Ate Rose with me. She's our maid since nung nabubuhay pa si Mom, she took care of my son while I am away busy at school. It was really hard at first. Minsan hindi ko alam kung ano yung uunahin ko especially everytime my son cries kapag aalis ako ng house to go to school. Pero kailangan kong lampasan ang lahat ng iyon. I need to be strong for him and to regain my Dad's trust on me. 

After few years of sleepless nights, tears and hardwork I finished my degree. I am now a licensed Architect. Talagang nagpursigi ako to finish my studies because Dad promised me na makakabalik lang ako ng Pinas kapag natapos ko ang pag aaral ko sa that I can help him sa aming Construction Firm. 

So here it is! Halo halo yung emotion na nararamdaman ko. I don't know if my son can easily adopt sa buhay na meron sa Pilipinas. I don't know if he'll love to live here. I don't know. Basta the only thing I know is that, I will always be here for him.

"Wow! That was a long and tiring flight mom!" he exclaimed while pulling his small luggage.

"Yes son! You just actually sleep almost all the time." biro ko sa kanya.

"No! You were the one who slept alot. I was checking over you the entire flight Mom."
