Igniting Chances

Chapter 59

Nightmare

Katatapos lang ng klase ko,unang taon ko dito kila mama.

Dad told me that its fine to study as long as I dont use my registered name before.

I dont know where dad got all those papers that let me study here without any problem.

I rode a tricycle like Bianca told me.Mama uses her only car at the house so I had no choice.

Habang nasa byahe napansin kong iba ang daan na tinatahak namin.Sinabi  kong muli sa driver kung saan ang mansion pero hindi nya ako pinansin.

Nagsimula na akong kabahan,hinila ko ang tshirt ng driver baka hindi lang ako naririnig pero hindi nya ako pinansin.

I saw a bottle of alcohol drink in the front window of the tricycle.

"H-hindi po dito ang daan!"I shouted.

I can't just jump,masyadong mabilis ang takbo.

After minutes we stop in a small house near the forest.

Umikot ang driver papunta sa akin at bumungad sa akin ang amoy nitong alak.

"U-uuwi na po ako!"umatras ako paloob sa tricycle ng umambang hahawakan nya ako.

He's drunk and scary.

I started to cry.Ng hindi nya ako mahablot ay inabot nya ang buhok ko at kinaladkad ako palabas.He's not talking or giving any noise.

Hila-hila nya ako sa mabatong daan,I felt pain in my ankle.

He dragged me on the dark house,puro galos ang paa at hita ko.

I know what will happen next and I felt helpless.

All I can do is cry.

He throw me into a wooden sofa,naitama ko ang ulo ko sa gilid nito na dahilan ng pagkirot.

He started unbuckleling his pants.

I can't feel my feet.

I closed my eyes and prayed.

I prayed that he wont come or atleast,someone will come and save me.

I felt his hand touch my cheeks,he brushed off my tears.

"Please no,go a-away!"I cried.

"Grasia!Aho!Apo.."I suddenly heard my mama's voice that leads me to open my eyes.

An unfamillar room welcomed my eyes.I heard ocean's wave.

My mama's teary eyes showed up.

Her hand is on my face as she removes my tears.

A nightmare.

"What happened?"tanong niya.Tsaka ko lang nakita ang anino sa likod nya.

I can't be mistaken.

Its Gad.

Is this a dream?

I look at my self,Im wearing a oversized t-shirt.

"Akala ko kung ano ng nangyari sayo!Buti nalang at nakita ka ni Mr.Romano,kung hindi--"

"M-ma."utal na saad ko dahil nanunuyo ang lalamunan ko.

Gad handed me a glass of water.

Umayos ako ng upo at tinanggap iyon.

"Si Patricia?"I asked.

"Nasa bahay nila,pinakaba mo yung bata!"suway ni mama.

"Hindi ko naman po sinasady--"

"Bakit ka ba kasi umalis at pumunta sa malayo?"tanong ni mama.

Napalingon ako kay Gad,naghihintay rin sya ng sagot.

"I-i got bored ma,I-im sorry."saad ko.

"Jusmiyo!Hindi mo alam ang gulo na ginawa mo kagabi!"pagalit nya.Kumunot ang noo ko."Imbes na matulog ang mga tao pagkatapos ng party ay pinahanap ka pa!Nakaabala pa kami!"tumingin si mama kay Gad."Pasenya rin sa abala Mr.Romano."Tumayo si mama at humingi ng pasensya.

"No ma'am its fine,Grasia is a good friend after all."napakunot ang noo si mama.

"M-magkakilala kayo?"gulat na tanong nya.

"Actually my brother and Ahonoama are really close friends."Napa-O ang bibig ni mama.

Wala akong nagawa kungdi patungan ang sinasabi ni Gad,trying not to lie any more.
