His Slave

Chapter 14

I was wrong for thinking that I won't be bothered anymore by what happened. I was damn wrong. Sa buong maghapon 'yun lang ang nasa utak ko.

My friends were seriously concern. They keeps on asking if I'm alright. Lalo na ng hindi ako naglunch. My lunch meal is still intact in the paper bag that Myr gave me. Pinabibigay daw ni Gin at buong lunch daw niya ako hinahanap. Ni hindi daw 'to kumain.

Sa buong maghapon, hindi ko siya tinignan. I can even feel my neck stiffed for not moving it around for hours. Mas lalo ko lang kasing maaalala ang mga nangyari kapag nakikita ko siya.

I can see how eager he was, to talk to me but I just can't. And I don't walk to talk to him.

When the bell ring, I immediately grab my things. I hurriedly walked outside the room. Nagpaalam na ako kay Myr kanina na mauuna na ako. Pinanindigan ko na lang ang sinabi kong masama ang pakiramdam ko. Masama naman talaga ang pakiramdam ko. Hindi ko maintindihan. Hindi ko maipaliwanag.

Naglakad ako papauwi. To clear up things in my mind. I just hope walking would help.

Pull yourself together Aiah. This is not you. You're overthinking again. He was just trying to help you and that's it.

I breathed deeply. But that was my first kiss. I smacked my head. Stop it!

When I tripped and lose my balance and fell into the ground. Then I feel dizzy all of a sudden. I massage my temple. I instantly stood up when I felt rain drops on my skin.

"Shit!" My ankle hurts. Kailangan ko ng magmadali at baka bumuhos ng ulan. Wala pa naman akong dalang payong. I attempted to take a step but it really hurts.

Paika-ika akong naglakad. Tinitiis ang kirot ng aking paa. Kailangan kong makahanap ng masisilungan bago pa tuluyang bumuhos ang ulan. I was about to walk to the waiting shed in the park when two men blocked my way.

"Alam mo bang ilang araw akong naghintay para lang masalubong ka." sabi nung lalaking nkahood.

"Ha?"

Nang bigla siyang ngumisi. "Ang dali mo naman akong nakalimutan. Pagkatapos mamaga 'tong mukha ko sa bike mo."

Nagsimula na akong kabahan ng namukhaan ko siya. Siya 'yung snatcher na nakasalubong ko dati.

Aatras na sana ako ng may isa pang lalaki ang nakaharang sa likod ko. Naramdam kong kirot ng aking bukung-bukong sa ginawa kong pag-atras.

"Wala ka ng takas ngayon. Sa susunod kilalanin mong babanggain mo."

I know I can take at least the two of them. But not with this ankle. Magiging balakid 'tong paa ko sa pag-galaw. Tiniis kong sakit ng aking paa at marahang ginalaw 'to. Binitiwan ko ang aking mga dala. I need to focus to take them down.

The worst part came, when the rain falls.

Then suddenly one of them came near me. I directly knee kicked him in the groin that it made him moaned in pain. Then the man on my back grab me by my collar then I immediately grab his wrist and come over the top of his arm and slapped him. I bend his right arm and took him down on the floor. Then I strongly leaned my knee on the corner of his shoulder.

Binuhos ko lahat ng lakas na meron ako. Hindi ko na ininda ang sakit ng aking paa. When I felt a strong punch on my face.

I lost guard. I forgot there was three of them. It was hard for me to see because of the rain drops brimming in my eyes, blurring my vision. I started to feel more dizzy then I felt my body fell into the ground.

When I opened my eyes, I saw him. Strongly throwing punch on the guy hit me. He was slamming the guy's head on the ground.

"Gin.. Stop please.."
