His Passionate Plea

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

When I was a kid, My dream was to have a family. A family that full of happiness. No conflicts, no heartaches. But that dream vanished when my mother eloped with another man. Yes, she cheated, with my father's bestfriend.

My father loved my mother so much. Kaya nakalimutan niya na may anak siyang naiwan sa kaniya. Every night and day, he was always drunk. He was depressed. But little did my father know, I was the one who hurted most. To have a broken family in a young age? Hell.

At the age of 16 I tried to committed suicide. My father saw it and he stopped me. Noong panahon ding yun nagbago sya. He apologised but he was forgiven already, sinong anak ang matitiis ang kaniyang tatay? He regrets the things he done when he and my mother seperated.

Tumakbo sya sa politika bilang gobernador. My father is helpful and a kind man. He helps the people who needs helps and supported the family who can't finance themselves. Because of his characteristics he won.

I'm so proud of my father. Kahit gobernador na si papa, hindi sya nawawalan ng oras sa akin. When I was freshmen college, dumating ang mama ko. Of course, I didn't bothered to see her and convinced my father to tell her to leave us alone.

"Mika, please just this once." Ani Papa.

"Papa, I can take care of myself." Malambing na sabi ko.

"Yes you can but in danger? I doubt it." I rolled my eyes.

"I'm not comfortable with bodyguards, pa. Lagi silang nakabuntot saken." My father took a big sigh as he shooked his in disapproval, I chuckled. Natapos akong kumain kaya pumunta ako sa aming Unibersidad. Nakapunta naman ako ng maayos at ligtas.

"Mikalyn." Lumingon ako bumungad sa akin ang bestfriend ko.

"Any problems, Ana?" I asked.

"Bakit hindi ka dumating noong birthday namin ni, Seb?" Sabay yugyug niya ng balikat ko.

"That time my father want me to be home. He received a threats. "

"Fake news yan. Sabihin mo lang ayaw mo makita ang kambal ko!" Singhal nya. Umiling-iling na lang ako. "Tigilan mo nga ko."

"Bakit di mo pa kasi sagutin si Seb?"

"Juana Sebastina!" Sigaw ko.

Bigla syang naalarma. Tumingin sya sa paligid. Maaga pa naman kaya wala pang masyadong tao sa room.

"Mikalyn naman. Gusto mo ba akong mamatay sa kahihiyan? Ayoko ng pangalang yan."

"Whatever." sabay irap ko sakanya.

Pagpasok ng iba naming ka-blockmate namin ay pumasok na rin ang prof. Dumaan ang oras, alas-dose na ng matapos ang huling subject namin.

Pumunta ako sa Cafeteria. As usual madaming tao. Kumakain na ako nang dumating yung kamabal ni Ana.

"Mikalyn, Hindi ka na nakapunta sa birthday ko." And he pout.

Disgusting.

"You look like a duck, Juan Sebastian." At sinubo ko ang huling kanin.

"Ano ba yan, Mikalyn. Seb for short. Nakakasuka yung pangalan yun."

"Magkambal nga kayo." Tumayo nako para dumiretso sa library.

Nasa Dean list ako doesn't mean I'm good enough, like the others I struggled just to reach this. I want to pay my father's hardwork. Kaya nagsisikap akong mag-aral. Life is too short so I want to spend my life at fullest.

I wonder what would my life is if my mother didn't leave us? Maybe I wouldn't experience a broken family at young age. My mother will cooked our breakfast, she will kiss papa everytime he's tired and adviced me about love.

Love, huh?

Love is a strong word. Sabi nila masarap magmahal pero masakit masaktan. So why did you loved if you'll get hurt eventually? That sucks.

Biglang nagsitayuan ang balahibo ko. I think someone is watching me. Luming-linga ako, I am the only one who left here.

When I heard the sound of a bell I put the books I got in the shelves. Lumabas ako at pumasok na sa susunod kong subject. This is my last year of college, two months left and yes I'm ready to be independent woman. Hindi ko namalayan ang oras. It's already 6:30 in the evening, nag-overtime pa kasi ang prof. namin sa Calculus.

Sasabay sana ako kay Ana, pero nauna na sya. I decided to text our driver to fetch me here. I discarded the thoughts of going home alone because of my uneasiness. I have a feeling na parang may nagmamanman sa akin. Stalker? Who knows.

I want to drink a bottled water so I went to the convenience store.

"I received 500 pesos. Here's your change Ma'am. Please come back again." I smiled at the cashier.

"Thank you." I politely said.

Nang lumabas ako madilim na ang langit. The City of lights have a serene vibes. I putted my earphones in my ears and indulged myself with music. Music is a way to comfort myself, everytime I'm sad, I'm happy, and when I want to breakdown. Music is enough to calm my soul.

I saw in my peripheral vision that there's a black van's following me. My heart pounded terribly. I walked fastly but the the van is still following me. Oh God help me! I shakily grabbed my phone in my pocket.

"Shit." I panicked.

Calm down. Pull yourself together. Fuck! I can't tapped my phone! Damn this finger. Nahulog ang phone ko nang may biglang humintong Van sa aking harap at may lumabas na mga lalakeng naka-mask.

The two masked man hold my arms and they forcedly me to come to their van. I defend myself by struggling. But they are too strong.

"Let go of me!" I scarily said.

Naipasok nila ako sa kanilang van. Nagwala ako doon pero napaiyak ako ng may sumikmura sa akin. Damn, that hurts! My eyelids is slowly falling, I'm starting to get weakend, I still fighting them even though I feel pain. Then they put a white cloth in my nose.

Then I don't know what happend next.
