Vicious Lily

Chapter 23

I settle myself beside a young couple who spoke native dialect fluently, finally naka tanggap na ako ng text mula kay Rose actually it's a call pero hindi ko sinagot I'm not capable of talking right now.

She said Roger told them na ako ang nag suggest na humingi siya ng tulong sa kanila and now, they got it all cover pakiramdam ko nga wala nang choice si Roger dahil silang dalawa na ang nag dedesisyon.

They knew Alice well kaya sigurado akong magugustuhan ni Alice kung paano man mag propose sa kanya si Roger with the help of this two.

I can't help but smile as I read the text, I can imagine them dancing happily right now.

Hindi ko sinabi sa kanila na uuwi na ako, I want to surprise them makakatulong pa ako dahil mamayang gabi pa nila gagawin ang proposal.

Rose promise to take a video kahit hindi ko pa sinasabi.

"Miss Pavellon?"

Nagtaas ako ng tingin at agad napa-upo ng tuwid, a tall and lean man on a uniform stood in front of me he look so formal as he regards me with serious eyes.

I don't remember his face but it's my weakness since then I don't remember faces.

"Yes?"

Sobrang pormal ng lalaking ito, he got the vibes na hindi nagsisinungaling he's clean and neat looking pati yung dalawang katabi ko ay nahinto sa pag-uusap.

"I'm Kevin, may nangyari sa Papa mo at pinapasundo ka niya"

Uhh..

Agad lumakas ang tibok ng puso ko remembering his face when he tried to hide his pain while sending me away. 

"A-anong n-nangyari?"

I clutch my bag closer to me, I know I should do something confirm it with Denver or Odette but I can't think straight. Bumaba ang tingin ko sa kanyang uniporme.. hindi man ako magaling umalala ng mga mukha I can remember this uniform suot ito ng mga guard sa labas ng pinto ni Papa.

"Pagkatapos mong umalis sa ospital, naging unstable ang kanyang vitals.. he want to see you Miss Pavellon"

Shit.

Napatayo ako bigla, Kevin sound like he regret telling me this he sound sorry and sincere. Oh my God. 

"Tara"

As Kevin lead me out all I can think is, this is my fault.. again, because I'm so stupid to ignore his reaction the first time he saw me here, mas inuna ko pang gustong patunayan na makakaya ko at walang panganib that I want to see him. I should have left the first night I came here when Denver ask me to.

Mataas ang pride ko, I thought I grow up but no, I'm still that angry teenager back then always the cause of problem.

I'm so dump to believed I'm not.

Sobrang nagpapanic na ako na hindi ko na napansin na nag-iisa lang si Keven, hindi ko napansin ng pinasakay niya ako sa puting kotse, hindi ko napansin na ibang daan ang tinatahak ng sasakyan at huli na nung napansin kong namimigat ang talukap ng aking mata.. when I look at the driver side the last thing I notice is Kevin's wearing a mask.

BAGO pa ako dumilat ay alam ko nang may mali, I'm laying on my side in a very cold room and hard surface I smell dust and rust and heard nothing but a constant dripping of water.

When I open my eyes the first thing I notice is naka higa ako sa seminto and when I tried to move agad kong napansin na hindi ako maka galaw.

My hand is tied on my back while my feet is bind together in a very tight rope.
