Kidnapped

Birds are singing and the wind are blowing, I open my eyes and saw that I'm in the anonymous room. I hurriedly get out in the bed and find a door to escape, when I saw it, I find it locked.

Many thoughts are coming in my mind, I still wear the dress that I wore in the Bar. Did Alessandro plan this? Bakit kailangan nilang gawin ito sa akin? Hindi ako mayaman for ransom! What I am going to do? Pagbabayarin ba nila ako sa kasalanan ko 6 years ago? pero bakit ngayon lang at hindi pa dati? Kung hindi si Alessandro, who can be the suspect? I was about to cry but I stop myself from crying, it's not the time for me to let my tears fall and start breaking down.

Sumilip ako sa bintana ng kwarto at nakita ko ang dagat at buhangin, I felt the familiar sea breeze and the place. I think I am in Cebu right now. The door opens and I saw the girl who kidnapped me.

"Who are you?!" I asked and she smirked.

"The boss wants to see you, I brought clothes for you so you can change. There is the bathroom we will wait you here." she said without answering my question.

"S-sino ka ba? at sinong boss yon ha?! paalisin niyo na ako dito hindi ako mayaman!" sigaw ko at sinubukang dumaan sa pinto ngunit pinigilan nila ako.

"We didn't receive an order to answer your questions, ayaw ko nang daanin ka pa sa dahas para lang maligo at magbihis ka." I gulped,

I saw she's going to get something in her back. Sa sobrang takot ko na baka baril or kutsilyo ang kuhain niya inagaw ko sakaniya ang paper bag na naglalaman ng damit sa kamay niya.

"Fine!" I said and walk towards the bathroom.

Imbis na maligo ay naghanap ako ng bintana para makatakas ngunit isang maliit at may bakal pa na nakaharang duon, I can't escape using the windows. I calm myself that I'm going to escape on this Island, sinunod ko ang utos nila I take a bath and start cleaning myself. I want to know who's the real behind this.

We immediately go out and guided me to the dining room where there is a telecom and a food.

"Akala ko ba andito siya? Bakit telecom lang?" I burst.

"He's flying back to Manila while you are cleaning yourself Miss, he'll be back in a few hours."

"Dan is it Claire?" a voice comes from telecom, sumagot naman ang babaeng nagkidnap sakin.

My kidnapper's name is Dan.

"Yes, sir."

"Claire, I'm sorry for doing this-"

"S-sino ka?! B-bakit kilala mo ko ha?!" I blurted.

"Calm down, I just want to ask you something," he said.

We became silent for a minute and his voice come out again.

"Do you know who's your father, Claire?" nagulat ako sa tanong niyang iyon, my mother said that he left us when I was a kid. I didn't know the whole story, hindi ko naman na kinwestyon iyon kay mama kasi bahid sakaniyang mukha ay nasasaktan parin siya sa pag-iwan sa amin ni papa. I couldn't hate my Dad but I didn't have the guts to find him because I might bring Mama in pain.

"Do you search for me, Claire?" I am now stunned.

H-he's what?

"Mamaya na tayo mag-usap I still have my meeting,"

"My father left us and you couldn't lie to me." I burst out. He didn't replied, so Dan ask me to eat but I said no.

"Where am I? Why can't I go out?" I said.
