Chapter 20.

She continue her little journey. She walked until she arrived at her school. It was peaceful. There were guards at the front gate but she never seen her school so quiet.

"Mirana!" Once again lumingon siya kung sino ang tumawag sa kanya this time.

Her heart skipped a beat.

It was Glasses running towards her.

"Hey Mirana. What are doin' here?" He asked.

"Naglalakad lakad lang." She answered. "Ikaw anong ginagawa mo dito?" She asked.

"Just need to buy some stuff. You know for school. And hey! Happy birthday." He said and hugged her for a second.

"Thanks." Wait, its her birthday. She remembered that he will tell her, his name.

"Oo nga pala. Diba sasabihin mo ang pangalan mo sa birthday ko? Guess what this is the day so spill it out." She said and raised her eyebrows.

"Mamaya! It's a surprise. So, for the meantime this is my gift!" He reached for his plastic bag and handed out his gift. It was a rectangular-ish thing wrapped in a emoji gift wrapper.

"Thanks!"

"Hey nice necklace. Where did you get that?" He asked and pointed out the necklace that Erica gave her earlier.

"Oh this?" She said at hinawakan ang necklace. "Binigay ni Mirana kanina. It was cute because she had the other half."

He smiled. "Now open mine." He said with a tone of excitement in his voice.
"Yes, sir." She said. The two laughed and Mirana started opening Glasses' gift.

It was a notebook with a brown cover.
"Notebook?" She asked.

Glasses nod. "Erica told me that you wasted a whole notebook just to know my name. So, I'm giving you a replacement. Here, it's a diary. You can start writing your thoughts and so."

Well, for starters she's not a 10-year old girl who writes a diary. But now it seems fun writing her thoughts or her adventures, with him, with her friends.

"Thanks." She replied.

"No problem! Well, I should go. Auntie is waiting for me. Happy birthday ulit!" He said and give her a quick last hug.

"Bye! See you."

Glasses started to walk and ride a bus towards home.

After that, she continue her adventure.

But, everything went dark.

~~~

Nakaramdam ng sakit sa ulo si Mirana. She can't move her hands and she can't see. She also felt that she is moving. Nasa isang koste siya.

She heard some guys laughing infront of her.

Shit! Kinidnapped siya! In her own day.

Shit, nasan ako? She said in her mind. Her heart was beating fast, she was feeling danger.

"Hoy nasan ako!" She yelled. Agad naman may nagtanggal ng kanyang blindfold. She thought that this was a suprise for her birthday, but no. This is really happening. She saw two guys infront. On in the driver seat and one in the passenger seat. She saw a guy besides her. All of them have huge bodies and tatoos.

"S-sino kayo?! Asan ako?!"

"Oh, she's awake." Said the driver. "We can't understand you, you idiot. Speak english."

Damm, he's right. They can't understand tagalog.

"Where am I? What do you need?!"

"Oh, nothing. Well, there's something. Your parent's money. We only need 1 million dollars and we'll let you go. If not, you'll die."

She was shocked. Hindi niya alam ang gagawin nito. She felt useless. Kasalanan niya ang lahat, she out her parents in danger.

"Let me go! Its my birthday! Please." She cried in mercy.

As she said that may baril nang nakatutok sa kanyang ulo. "Well, happy birthday kid. This may be your last birthday."

Wala na siyang magawa. Tears stared to fall from her eyes. "Crying don't solve anything kid. Cry as you want." Said the guy besides her.

~~~

She felt an headache. Nawalan ito ng malay kanina sa kotse. And now, she's alone in a dark room. Tied to a chair.

Well this is a birthday that she will never forget.

"Shit, anong gagawin ko? Its almost dark at baka nag-aalala na ang magulang ko." She said to himself.

"Help! Help! Help!" She yelled and yelled and yelled. But only, the echo of her voice was only heard.

Wala na siyang nagawa kundi umiyak. She cried and cried hanggang mamaga ang mata niya.

Pero bago siya mawalan ng pag-asa she saw something shined.

Isang salamin, buti nalang hindi ito masyado malayo sa kanya. She tried jumping with her chair. Mahirap man pero nagawa niyang makalapit sa lamesa. The table had broken mirror. Bits of it. Tumalon ito ng paikot para makakuha siya ng isa.

Finally nakakuha siya ng isang bubog. Mahirap man hawakan dahil sobrang nakakatusok ito. She already felt pain and she felt blood nung hinahati niya ang tali sa likod niya.

She felt wounds and slicing in her skin pero nagawa niya. Natanggal niya ang tali sa kanyang kamay. Agad naman siyang tumayo at lumabas.

She heard men talking. Dahil madaming gamit ang nakapaligid sa kwarto. She tried crawling para hindi masyadong maingay ang kanyang pagtatakas. She saw lots of guns and drugs on the floor. Gusto man niyang sumigaw pero bawal.

She crawl and crawled until she reached the door. Tumayo siya at dahan dahan binuksan ang pinto.

"You!" Sigaw ng isang lalaki. Tumaas lahat ng kanyang balahibo sa kanyang balat.

"Get her!" Utos ng isang lalaki and the two men went after her.

She quickly get out of the warehouse and saw the road.

Its dark at walang masyadong tao. May mga kotse na dumadaan pero kakaunti lamang iyon.

"You kid! Get back here!" Nakarinig siya ng tunog ng baril. So she ran and ran.

"Mirana!" On the other side. She saw Glasses. Her hero. Her hope.

"Glasses!" He was on the other side of the road. Agad naman tumawid ang dalaga para makamit ang kanyang tagaligtas.

"You! You can't escape us. You bitch!" She was in the middle of the road until they heard the sound of a gun.

"Mirana!" But she heard honking a light towards her.

"Mirana! No!" Glasses yelled.

But it was too late.
