Imprisoned By The Young General

Page 23. For You I Will

If only my heart can speak, it will say your name, as loud as it can. It will tell you how much I love you and how much I care for you. But why couldn't I say it even though I have the ability to tell the truth?

Ang bigat ng pakiramdam ko. Ang sakit din ng aking ulo at nakakasakal ang hangin na nalalanghap ko kung nasaan man ako ngayon. Malamig ang sahig kung saan nakahiga ang katawan ko ngayon. Pakiramdam ko ay matagal akong nanatili sa isang bangungot.

Sinubukan kong imulat ang aking mga mata, kahit na ang bigat ng talukap nito. Nang maidilat ko ng kaunti ito ay malabo at kadiliman lamang ang nakikita ko.

Nasaan ako?

"Looks like our bait is awake." Napakalalim at napakalamig ng boses na narinig ko. Dumapo ang tingin ko sa isang lalaking naka-upo sa swivel chair at nagtatago sa kadiliman.

"Boss, should we call him now?" Sambit naman nung isa na may hawak na baril at matipuno ang katawan. I'm scared right now.. Who are they? What do they want from me?

"Easy. I'm sure he will look for his woman any time right now." Who are they referring to? His woman..? Is it.. Adamson?! No.. Because of me his life will be at risk.

"Instead of calling him, we should just think about the tactics we will use to kill that Major General." Isang mahinang tawa ang kumawala sa bibig nya. Nakakakilabot na tawa. Tumayo na sya at lumakad papalapit sa'kin. Hindi ko pa rin makita ang mukha nya dahil malabo at madilim ang paningin ko.

Umupo sya para hawakan ako sa mukha at saka ngumisi.

"Ikaw lang pala ang kahinaan ng demonyong yun." Wala akong ibang ginawa kundi duraan sya sa mukha.

"Ikaw ang demonyo! Alam kong ikaw ang mastermind ng CVX terrorists! At wala kang karapatan para husgahan siya!" He's so pathetic. I can't believe that someone like him who has no heart say those words to Adamson who gave his best to protect his country.

Tumawa nanaman sya at naglakad na papuntang pinto.

"You are such a brave woman. And a genius one too. I will not kill you, I'll just have to make you my bride." Sabi nito saka umalis kasama ang mga tauhan nya, iniwan akong mag-isa. I'm not brave. I'm not strong too. But I can be anything for Adamson. I can't let them hurt him! Not my life, not him.

Hindi ko alam kung nag ha-hallucinate na ba ako dahil naririnig ko ang boses ni Hunter.

"H-Hunter? Where are you?!" Sigaw ko sa kawalan dahil di ko naman sya makita.

"Hana! Place your hands near your ear!" It's his voice! I can hear it! Where is it coming from? The voice is too weak but I can still understand the words he's saying.

Nilapit ko ang nakagapos kong kamay sa tenga ko kahit di ako sigurado sa ginagawa ko.

"Hana can you hear me now?!" That's it! So it's the ring! I can talk to him with this ring!

"Hunter! I-Im.. scared!" Nanginginig kong sambit. Hindi ko na alam ang gagawin ko.. Narinig kong napamura sya ng mahina at saka nagsalita ulit.

"Don't worry! I will save you! Don't be afraid."

"No.. that's not what I mean. I'm scared because they might hurt him! I can't let them kill the man who I love the most." Gusto kong lumuha at makita ang mukha nya ngayon. I want to hear his voice and talk to him. But it might never happen again if I will be a coward and not able to escape from here.

"Idiot. Listen. I want you to be brave and do exactly as I will say. I know you're strong and I believe that you will make it. First press the tiny button at the right side of the ring. It will help me to locate you and it will serve as gps. Second, press the diamond and a small blade will come out from that ring. It may be small but it is sharp as samurai." I'm very thankful to Hunter because even though I gave him cold shoulder, he's still there for me.
