The song for this chapter is:
"Lossin' control" by Russ

__________

I couldn't accept how loser, forlorn and delicate I am. I can't seem to swallow everything that happened. I can't believe this happening to me. How I hope this is just an another nightmare.

But I had no choice but to accept this downfall for now. Vengeance will only be my motivation to keep me going. It excites my soul, the way I vision everything that will happen in time. It will be worth it. 

And they should back off now, because of nervousness and fear, they don't know what I:m capable of. 

"Natasha?" a baritone voice called me. 

Maliwanag at maputing kisame ang bumungad sa akin, pagkadilat ko ng aking mga mata. I thought I'm already in heaven, kaso naalala kong hindi nga pala ako pwede roon. Devil is not allowed in that paradise. 

Lumipat ang mga mata ko sa taong nakaupo sa gilid ng higaan ko at nakahawak ng mahigpit sa kaliwang kamay ko.

My cold boyfriend.

"Here...Drink this water," Paris said and give me a bottled water. 

Nanghihina ang kanang kamay ko nang kuhain ko iyon at uminom roon. Pagkatapos ay ibinalik ko 'yun sa kanya at nilapag naman niya sa bedside table na nasa gilid ko.

"Where am I?" I asked him in my hoarse voice. 

"Hospital, your cousins are on their way," he answered.

Nagulat ako roon dahil papunta na rito ang mga pinsan ko. Hindi na dapat nila nalaman. 

"Did you call them?" tanong ko at sinubukang umupo.

Napangiwi naman ako sa sakit ng likod ko. 

"H'wag ka nang bumangon," aniya at inalalayan ako sa paghiga. "Your cousin Trina, called earlier, so I answered." 

Suminghap ako, bahagyang nagising ang diwa ko dahil doon. Huwag lang talaga sabihin ni Trina ang nangyari kay Lyric, kung ayaw niyang magkagulo. 

But that girl loves chaos so much, so as Lyric. 

"What did you tell her?" I asked him more. 

"The truth, you were abducted because of me. But I didn't tell her about my dead assassin," sagot niya. 

Hinilot ko ang sentido ko at ngumiwi sa hapdi na nararamdaman ko sa mukha ko. 

"You need to stay here for more three days. I already requested for your therapy, so you could gain your strength that fast." 

I don't need that therapy, when everything is just incurable. 

"Thanks. My back hurts so bad..." 

"Y-Your back?" nagaalala niyang tanong.

I nodded slowly and shut my eyes because of the back pain. 

"She is awake now," he said in the nurse call button. 

I pursed my lips, preventing to say something. Alam ko hindi pa rin kami ayos hanggang ngayon, nakakatawa lang na isipin na hindi pa nga kami umaabot ng isang linggo o isang buwan ay ganito na katindi ang away namin.
