Capturing Mine

Chapter 29: Diane's Feelings

Jacob's POV

“Diane!” sigaw ko pero naputol na ang tawag.

“Dammit!” Napamura na lang ako saka nilakihan ang mga hakbang na hinahakbang ko sa hagdan.

I tried catching up with her earlier when she got inside the elevator. She is not thinking. May balak ba siyang ipahamak ang sarili niya? 'Yung lalaking kasama niya, I knew there's something wrong with that man! He's like a bad guy wearing all those black stuffs to hide his identity. Try to do something to her and I'll fucking torture him to death! Fuck! I swear, I'll do that!

“Fuck it, Diane! If something happened to you, I won't forgive myself!”

Nang marating ko ang seventh floor, muli akong tumakbo papasok ng hallway para silipin ang elevator kung nasaan si Diane. It's stopped on the tenth. Sana naman ay walang nangyaring masama sa kaniya. Subukan mo lang talagang magpagalaw sa lalaking iyan at hindi ko alam kung ano ang magagawa ko. Hindi ako nagpapalaki ng katawan para lang sa magazine covers ko, but to protect my bestfriends too. I would surely not forgive myself if she got hurt.

I ran up to the twelfth floor just to make sure that I'll catch the lift and I did. Saktong papaakyat ito rito. Hingal na hingal naman akong pinindot ang button ng elevator para magbukas ito sa floor na ito saka humawak sa magkabilang tuhod ko. I count seconds until it opens. Still panting real hard, I fixed my self from standing and was ready to hit whoever that man is when I saw only just her.

“B–Beb...,” she said, feeling troubled just as much as I do.

Parang gusto ko namang mapaiyak nang makita ko siya kaya agad akong pumasok sa loob at niyakap siya nang mahigpit.

Diane's POV

“Jac!” I yelled in fright when he snatched my phone from my hand.

“W–Who are you?! What do you want?!” I asked yelling before I tried reaching the buttons to click some floor levels just to get out but he stopped me.

Hinawakan niya ako sa magkabilang balikat at isinandal sa wall ng elevator. Sa sobrang takot ko, naipikit ko na lang ang mga mata ko at gustong umiyak. I was about to shout for help when he covers my mouth with his hand.

“Shhh!” he shushed me.

“Hmmmppp!!!” Nagpumiglas ako at pinagtutulak siya hanggang sa matanggal ang sunglasses niya pero pinakalma niya ako.

“H–Hey, stop. Look at me, my lady,” he said and that made me stop from moving.

I slowly look at his eyes and then I feel him remove his hands that's on me. He then removed his face mask.

“A–Andrew?” I asked in shock.

“I'm sorry for scaring you,” he said, handing me back my phone, “It wasn't my intention, but you mistook my identity and I'm afraid you might tell Jacob. He'll get worried if you say something bad as that and I'm afraid he'll see me here.”

But why....

“What are you doing here?” I can't help but ask.

“I just wanted to see you before I....” He looked away. “... before I leave.”

My eyebrows instantly furrowed. Saan naman siya pupunta? Babalik pa ba siya?

“Where are you g–going?” tanong ko.

Ibinalik naman niyang muli ang tingin niya sa akin. The way he looks at me, it seems like he's leaving for real. I mean, far, faraway from me.

“M–My brother will be back and is needing my help. Ahm, he... he wants me to go there, to our company in Europe to make his job done fast so that he can get here, we can both get back here as soon as possible,” paliwanag niya na nagpahinto ng tibok ng puso ko.
