Don't You Dare

Chapter 2

If We Ever Meet Again

I'm running right now to this pathway wherein I have nowhere to be found. I am too scared of this place even if it is unfamiliar to me. I feel like a tame puppet.

"Don't run Trixie, wala akong gagawin. Just please, help me."

Help what? What does he wants from me? I know I have a lots of money but why is this feeling that all he want is ME. My body and soul.

"Don't run. Don't give me a sign to bite you."

I run as fast as I could. But it's too late! He suddenly grab me. And hell! All he really want is me; my fragile pieces of me.

Nagising ako sa luhang kanina pa pala panay tulo. Ngayon lang ako nagising sa normal. That nightmare again!

I wrap my arms around my body. I heard my weak sobbing again. Fuck this life! Ayoko ng maalala ulit yun! Okay na eh! Isang buwan ko nang hindi napapaniginipan pero bakit naulit na naman? Bakit?

"Dyusmiyo, iha! Ayos ka lang ba?" Alalang tanong sakin ni yaya Fe. She's rubbing my back while hugging me. Ang lakas ko pala umiyak at nakapasok siya agad.

"Wala 'to, ya. Masyado lang akong pagod kagabi kaya kung anu-ano napaginipan ko." For the past 1 year tragic, pinili kong manahimik. Mas mainam na 'to para hindi siya  gumawa ng aksyon. At baka pati sila madamay ng di oras.

"Tell to yaya, anak. Anong napaginipan mo, ha?" Malambing tugon ni yaya habang hinihimas ang aking buhok.

Napailing ako. "Wala, ya. Common nightmare lang."

"Sigurado ka? Wag kang matakot magshare, anak. Mas nakakagaan ng loob yun." I look at yaya's concern eyes. She's right. I want tro share this freaking nightmare which bugging me for almost months. Pero ayoko, tama nang nailalabas ko yung takot at sakit sa pag-iyak.

Niyakap ko na lang ng mahigpit si yaya. After a minute, niyaya niya na akong bumaba para magalmusal. Its Saturday, and its my off. Every ber-months, maluwag ang sched ko at kahit kailang araw, pwede akong um-absent. Actually pwede naman ako hindi pumasok as long as I want. But I am workaholic. So its my hobby, to work and to train more hard simultaneously.

"Yes mr. Jinn. My daughter and I will come to your mansion later. Yes I promise.. sure. Yeah.. Its my pleasure. Alright.. Bye." I look at my dad whose having a call with someone in the pool area. His barely smiling and drink his coffee. Is that about last night?

"Anak, prepare yourself later ha? Your father will be with you later at Mr. Roger Jinn's house." Napalingon ako kay mama. So it all set kahit wala hindi pa ako pumapayag?

"Hindi ka kasama, ma?" I asked in disbelief.

Mom nod. "I have an urgent travel to Texas. Malapit na ma-sold out ang album ni Bruno Mars! I need to buy that, ASAP!" Mom said giggling. Napaling ako. Unang kita pa lang ni mama noon sa T.V ang first music video ni Bruno, bigla na lang siya Na-LSS sa kantang 'Nothing On You' and the rest is history. Nakakatuwa at bumabagets pa din ang ina ko. Pero mas nakakatuwa sana kung kasama namin siya.

"Don't forget to buy burger patees, pizza roll, and lasagna there ha?" Paalala ko. Kailan ba last trip ko doon? 2 years ago. At last month lang last na kain ko ng mga yun! Bawal kasi sa katulad kong conscious figure. Pero I guess months is already a tortured and so I'm craving for it again!

Mom excitedly raised her brows, up and down. Para talagang bata.

"Ayay ka gyud! Kay ganda mo talagang bata!" Yaya Fe said while scanning all over my body. I am now fixed with my glamorous make up that Chris Scherzinger, my personal assistant does this fabulous kind in my face. I sheepishly smile while facing the wall sized mirror in my room.
