Fear

My breathing is heavy.I can't seem to find a good word to escape him.

Finally after almost a decade Im able to see him face to face,without searching on the net,but there's nothing to be happy.

I should find a escape.

I should have listen to dad and did not get carried away by mama's words.

When I thought I was able to run because Jacob got up and pull Gad's hand,I failed as Jacob too.

Masyadong mahigpit ang hawak ni Gad sa akin na tila mawawala ako kapag binitawan nya ako,which is a matter of fact.

"Who the hell are you?"tanong ni Jacob na medyo hilo pa.

Nakatitig lang sa akin si Gad na tila kinakabisado ang bawat parte ng mukha ko.

"L-let go."nanginginig na saad ko.He might call the cops and get me arrested.

Or he might call Athena's family.

Natatakot ako,not for me but for dad's safety.

As far as I can remember they are business partners so there's big possibility that he might do what's on my mind.

"Let go of her dude,she's crying!"sigaw ni Jacob.Nakuha namin ang atensyon ng nakapaligid sa amin habang ang iba ay abala parin sa pagsayaw.

"L-let's not make a-a s-scene here."My small voice said.Napakurap si Gad bago tumayo ng maayos at hinila ako kung saan.He looks mad,like he hate to see but he has too.Naiwan namin si Jacob at ang mga tao sa sayawan.Mahigpit ang hawak nya sa akin,bawat hakbang nya sa buhangin ay ramdam ko.

Hindi sya nagsasalita o ano hanggang sa makarating kami sa tahimik at madilim na parte,malapit pa rin sa dagat.

"C-can you let g-o of my hand? I-i wont run."I said.Hinarap nya ako pero nakahawak parin sa kamay ko at mahigpit,tila wala ng dugong dumadaloy.Mula sa kamay ko ay dahan-dahan syang nag-angat ng tingin tila isang machine na nagd-detect ng kung ano.

Umiwas ako ng tingin dahil sa dalang kaba ng mga titig nya.

"How can I trust you?"he asked coldly.

"Y-you dont need to trust me."I said.

Swear,if he let go of my hand I'll run fast as I can, just to escape him.

But in the first place,bakit nga ba ako nagtatago?

Ilang beses ko ng tinanong sa sarili ko iyon.

Bakit?

I did nothing wrong.I did not kill Athena,I didn't even think of.

Suddenly an image of my poor dad flashed,right im hiding because we have no power to protect me anymore.

Our riches were gone so I should too.

But look at my situation now.After a decade I was found by the person I wanted to hold onto before but instead I ran away from him.

Why?

Im scared he might get involve and dirt his decent and clean name.

My reflection ended when he spoke while slowly letting go of my hand.

Tila nakahinga ang kamay ko.

I took a deep,deep breathe.

"You have grown Ahonoama--"before he could finish his sentence I ran to his direction,nilagpasan ko sya.I ran fast as I can,not minding the cold wind.

"Fvck!"I heard him curse that scared me.

Bawat buhangin na nadadaanan ko ay lumilipad,I did not think of anything just escape from him.

But my fast run is getting slow as I saw a group of drunken men which scared me the most.

I can even hear Gad's footsteps and deep breathing.

But I stop.

This is the end of me.

Fishermen were holding a bottle of alcohol drink while walking to my directions.

My greatest fear.

Sa pag-atras ko at may nabangga ako.

Nanginginig kong nilingon kung sino ang nabangga ko.

Hindi ko alam kung dapat bang magpasamat ako dahil hinabol nya ako o mainis,but he look angry,I can even see fire in his eyes!

"T-take m-me."Nanginginig na saad ko before I lost my conciousness.
