Lascivious: Terrence Calleja (COMPLETE)

Chapter Fifty Nine

*Yohan's POV*

            Lumabas ako para kausapin ang mga pulis. Pinakinggan ko mula sa kanila ang nangyari and I heard they got the suspect. I'm puzzled when they said it's a woman. They told me she brought her here and siya mismo ang kusang sumuko. She said in her statement that it was an accident. Hindi ko alam ang sasabihin. I have no idea what's happening with Bella's life. Why the hell is she surrounded with dangerous people?

            Dapat ay hindi na siya nagpunta dito. She has a bad relationship with this country. Lahat ng alaala niya dito ay masasama. Dapat ay nanatili na lang siya sa California. Dapat hindi ko siya pinilit na lumapit sa gagong yun. This is all my fault. She almost died and it's my fault.

            Walang lakas akong umupo sa tabi ni Bella. She's too fragile to went through all these. She already had a bad childhood. She should be enjoying her life now. Sa aming dalawa siya yung mas nagdusa. She doesn't really talk much about it but life was tough on her. She had bad memories when her mom and dad used to live together but it got worse when they moved to the states and tita got married again. She and tita was abused by his step father. She never really told anyone about that. You will never hear her talk about that. Probably for the sake of his little brother.

            Yun actually ang dahilan kung ba't nakipaghiwalay si tita sa lalaking yun. But before that Isabella was abused for 5 years. 5 fucking years. Kung hindi pa muntik gahasain ng lalaking yun si Isabella, hindi pa niya siya hihiwalayan. I know that was in the past but listening to that and imagining what she's been through, it pains me. And now I'm seeing her like this. A broken arm and a gunshot. This is too much. She doesn't deserve to experience any of these.

            Sobrang lalim ng iniisip ko hindi ko agad napansin ang marahang paggalaw ng mga daliri niya. Napatayo ako sa inuupuan.

            "Bella? Bella! This is me, Yohan." puno ng galak kong wika.

            Dahan-dahan niyang binuksan ang mga mata. She groaned in pain at napahawak sa tiyan niya.

            "H-how do you feel? I-I will call the doctor."

*Isabella's POV

            Napahawak ako sa tiyan ko. I can still feel that until now. I feel like I'm constipated. Akala ko ay mamamatay na talaga ako. I can't believe I'm still alive. God doesn't really want me dead.

            The doctors are checking me. I'm a bit confused to how Yohan knew about this. Hinanap ko si Wendy but she isn't anywhere. I'm scared she might come back to the resort at ituloy ang balak niya. I don't know what I'd do to her if she hurts Terrence or Megan.

            The doctor explained my condition but I'm not really getting it. Parang lutang pa ang isip ko probably because of the anesthetic. All I heard is that I won't be able to eat for a while because my intestine is damaged. They will put a tube on my body and doon nila ako papakainin and whatever. I mean, that's crazy. I think I already experienced everything I can experience. I broke my bone, I got into an accident, I got shot... Survival of the fittest, bitch. If this is that reality show, Survivor, I have probably won.

            "How do you feel?" tanong ni Yohan.

            "It still hurts but I'm fine." sagot ko. "How did you know I'm here?"

            "I called you and someone else answered your phone. I got scared when she said you're here."

            Tumangu-tango ako. Malamang ay si Wendy iyun. "Where is she right now?"
