Owner Of My Heart

Prologue

Arriah

It's getting dark and they are running away from someone. Her feet hurts and she's out of breath pero mas importante sa kanya ang makatakas.

May humahabol sa kanila.

Rinig niya ang hampas ng alon at ang mga yabag ng mga taong sumusunod sa kanila.

Dagat.

Yun ng pumasok sa isip niya. Malapit sila sa dagat.

Dinala sya ng kasama sa likod ng isang malaking bato. He hugged her tightly like it was their last.

She can feel his fast pacing heartbeat.

'' Shh.. ''

Bulong sa kanya ng lalaking kasama. She wanted to see his face but she can't look up.

She's feeling ''fear''.

Kukunin siya kapag nahuli sila.

Ilalayo siya.

Mas gusto niyang mamatay nalang kesa mangyari yon.

She embraced the person back like she's holding unto her life.

'' Hindi ko sila hahayang ilayo ka sa akin.

- Patayin muna nila ako.. ''

Then she felt his lips on his forehead and he carressed her hair.

She sobbed silently. She don't know why but she can feel her tears flowing.

Pagbukas niya sa kanyang mata hawak na siya ng mga lalaking humahabol sa kanila.

Nakita niya ang kasama na nakahandusay at duguan. She screamed as hard as she could.

'' P-please..... Nagmamakaawa ako. Wag niyo siyang sasaktan.. P-lease.. Pleaseee.. ''

She cried and begged at them.

' 'Let me go!!!! Ayoko sa inyo!!
Ibalik nyo ko!!' '

Maga ang mga mata niya sa pag iyak and her strength is fading dahil sa ilang oras na pagtakbo.

'' Let's go''

The leader of the goons ordered at binuhat siya ng isa rito pero sa kabila ng pagod at luha sa mga mata lumaban siya.

She won't surrender without a fight.

Thats her last straw.

Ang huling lakas niya. She kicked the goon holding her as hard as she could saka tumakbo sa lalaki na nakahandusay sa di kalayuan sa dalampasigan.

She was crying hard while he was barely conscious.

No.

''N-NO!!!! PLEASE W-WAKE UP
P-LEASE!!

Hinawakan niya ang kamay ng lalaki.

Ayaw niya itong bitawan.

Na para bang sa paghawak niya mabibigyan ito ng lakas.
Hinang hina na ang binata sa bugbog na natamo.
Hindi na nito mabukas ng isang mata.

Pero nang nakita siya ay nagawa pa nitong unti unting bumangon.
The sight of her gave him strenght.

Pero hindi yun sapat.

''This one's tough hahaha.''

Tawa ng mga lalaking gustong kumuha sa kanya ng makitang pilit tumatayo ang lalaki.

It pained her.

He was hurt yet he was still willing to fight for her.

She know he doesn't want to lose her and when he told her that he'd rather die than to lose her she knew he means it.

She can't lose him as well. He was her life and she was his.

Sasama na ako... J-just please let him go.. Take me with you and never ever bother this man or step foot in this place...

Leaving him was her downfall but if it means he's safe then she's more than willing to so it.

I love you my love..
She whispered in his ears with tears in her eyes. Ito na ang hiling beses na masasabi niya iyon. She was hoping he will always remember how she loved him.

Hindi namalayan ni Arriah nakalapit na ng mga lalaki sa kanya at hinila.

She didn't resist like the last time.

Tumango ang goon sa kanya which means he agreed with her bidding.

Fear enveloped her being.

Sinuntok siya ng lalaki sa tiyan.

Her visioned blurred.

Pagod na pagod na siya even though she wanted to fight so badly but her body was no longer responding.

Please baby just let me go..

She wanted to tell him.
Before closing her eyes she heard her name being called then a gunshot followed.
