Still on Lisa's POV
*** CONTINUATION OF FLASHBACK ***
Her screams, cries, the painful moans she made, that was killing me. I can't breathe. Halos hindi na ako makatayo, sinubukan kong lumaban at ipagtanggol siya. Hindi ako malakas pero sinubukan kong iligtas kami. But at the end, I failed.
: Sa susunod, lumaban ka kapag malakas ka na!
wika noong lalaking nakatapak sa aking likuran habang ako ay nakahiga sa sahig, mga dugo'y umaagos mula sa bibig, luhang tumutulo mula sa mga mata, mga sakit na dumadaing sa buo kong katawan.....hindi ko siya nailigtas.
Jennie: T-Tama na.....
she said helplessly, she was looking at me, though it was dark, I could see her.
Lisa: J...Jennie...
I whispered. Wala na akong lakas. Noon wala akong pakialam kung mahina ako, pero ngayon pinagsisisihan ko ng hindi ako malakas. I wasn't able to protect her. She was raped by different guys. Sinaktan sa iba't-ibang bahagi.
Lisa: I-Itigil n'yo na yan....
Sinubukan kong muli ang magsalita. But words aren't enough. Their laughters are killing every single part of my body. Her screams send my soul into death. If there is really a God above, bakit niya hinayaang mangyari to? Kung mabuti siya, bakit niya pinabayaang ang gabi na ito ang maging dahilan para mawalan kami ng pag-asa mabuhay? If he was really there....bakit hindi niya ako naririnig? Bakit hindi niya naririnig si Jennie? Bakit hindi niya kami pinapakinggan?
: ....no please.... no I can't....
The guy earlier said. May ibinulong sila dito na hindi ko marinig, hindi ko masyadong makita yung lalaki pero sigurado akong tulad ko, puno siya ng pasa at mga galos sa mukha at buong katawan.
: ...no please.... I can't...
: YOU FUCKING RAPE HER NOW!
The ugly man commanded, my eyes widen, pinilit kong lapitan si Jennie at hawakan ang kaniyang mga kamay---
Lisa: AAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
I scream out of pain when a hard object suddenly fell into my back. I gasped too much, Jennie saw me, she cried again. Para bang gusto niya akong tulungan pero wala siyang magawa. Ginawa ko ang lahat para ngumiti. Pumipikit na ang aking mga mata.
Jennie: ...lisa please... don't sleep please.... don't leave me here....
Tuluyang tumulo ang mga luhang pilit kong itinatago. Seeing her right now, seeing how these fucking men about to ruin her life makes me so fucking vulnerable too.
Lisa: I-I'm sorry Jennie....
Sa halip na magsalita, pinilit niya akong ngitian.
Jennie: AAA!!!
Someone slapped her.
: You listen to me! Not to that lesbian there! If you won't do what I tell you, we will surely kill her.
My eyes then again widen.
Lisa: A...ASSHOLES....
I fucking shout earning a hard punch from someone I can't decipher.
Jennie: LISA!
Jennie screamed. Hinatak siya ng lalaki sa buhok at itinayo.
Fuck.
: We will let that skinny woman go....in one condition...
I shook my head.
Lisa: ...no Jennie...please not...
She wipes her tears off. Her lips were swollen. May dugo na rin sa gilid nito.
Lisa: ..no no no.... fuck no...
Tinignan niya ako ng matagal bago marahas na hinatak ng matabang lalaki ang kaniyang buhok. I saw the flicker of scared emotion in her eyes.
Jennie: you....you let her go first..... you let her go first before I do what you tell.
Jennie stated as if she wasn't scared.
: You don't tell me what to do lady.
Jennie: Then you don't tell me what to do too, oldie--
A loud slap echoed the room.
: PETER! BRING ME THAT FUCKING RICH KID!
Buhat buhat sa damit, inilapit ng tinawag na Peter yaong lalaki kanina at inihagis ng pabalang sa pader. The old man looked intently into Jennie's eyes before stating the words that dropped my world .
: Give me a good live sex, have sex with this guy, or you want my dick on you? you choose.
My eyes widen.
Lisa: NO! NO FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU ASSHOLE! MY GIRLFRIEND WON'T DO THAT! FUCK YOU FUCK YOU!
Pinipilit kong kumawala mula sa mga kamay ng mga lalaking bumugbog sa akin.
Lisa: Jennie no no, no you won't to that!
I warned her. Nakapikit siya habang lumuluha.
Lisa: No no please Jennie no!
Walang palya ang pagtulo ng mga luha mula sa aking mga mata.
Lisa: Jennie please...
I whispered, almost to myself.
Lisa: Don't Jennie..... let me die here.... let me die.... just don't.... I can't.... please no.....
I pleadingly stated. But when she opens her eyes, tinignan niya akong maigi, habang tumutulo ang mga masasakit na luha, as if saying please don't make it hard for her. My heart crashed. I still shook my head.
Lisa: .....I......
Pumikit ako.
Lisa: ...love you...
Bago ako bumuntong hininga.
Lisa: Kill me fucking assholes!
Jennie: Lisa!
Lisa: Shut up Jennie! You won't do what he said!
A long silence enveloped us.
: I can't.... please I can't break her life... we will give you money but please-- AAAA!!!
Before he could finish his words, a hard punch was given into his stomach. That man, he didn't want to touch my girl. He was just left with no choice.
Jennie: I....
Napatingin kaming lahat kay Jennie.
Jennie: I am accepting... I'll give you a good show. But let her go first.
I sarcastically laugh.
Lisa: No!
Tumingin ako sa lalaking may hawak sa kanya bago nagwikang,
Lisa: That girl, she can't give you a goodshow.
I mock Jennie. This is the only way I could save her. I won't allow her to save me in that way.
Lisa: She wasn't professional.
: So what are you saying?
Lisa: I'm saying that I could give a better show than her.
Jennie look up to me but I didn't give her a single glance.
Lisa: I could suck his dick better than she could.
Pinilit kong magpakalakas.
Lisa: I could give you a good fuck too if incase you want.
Jennie: Lis--
Lisa: Shut up pussy!
Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin bago humarap muli sa lalaki.
Lisa: Let that woman go, and I will give you a good show.
The man furrowed his brows.
Jennie: No! You are not good in fuckint Lisa! Stop it! Let me! Save yourself.
Lisa: YOU FUCKING STOP KIM!
Naiinis ako dahil paulit ulit na tumutulo ang mga luha sa aking mata
Lisa: Y...You promise me.... you promise Jennie, that every inch of you is mine.... mine only...
Jennie's gaze soften.
Lisa: Please don't break it.
Iniwas niya ang tingin sa akin. The next thing I knew, she kissed the man. My eyes widen for the nth time. She kissed the man to save me. She is starting to save me. She pulled away.
Jennie: Let her go.... I'lk give you the best show you could ever see.
She seductively said. The man seems to be turned on.
: LET THAT BASTARD SLEEP!And before I knew it, someone hit me with a baseball bat....but before my eyes even get closed, I saw Jennie mouthed,
Jennie: I love you.
Yung binatang puno ng galos ay nadapuan din ng mata ko. He whispered a silent sorry, his eyes, he has this small eyes and a sharp jaw. I mouthed I love you too to Jennie......and everything went black.
*** END OF FLASHBACK ***
A small finger poke my cheeks. I'm blind but I am not numb, she's an angel.
Ella: mommm...
Lisa: hmmm?...
Ella: you shaid.... i have another mom...
I nodded.
Ella: where ish sheeee...
I smiled.
Lisa: Shhh... she's still sleeping...
Naramdaman kong tinakpan ni Ella ang bibig niya.
Ella: Sho.... she'sh hereeee.... I shouldn't make loud noisheshhh....
Lisa: exactly...
I teased. My little angel cupped my face and kissed my lips. I smiled.
Ella: ...when willlll you going to buyy meee the sketch book mommy?
My heart feels like stopping, I want to cry but I choose to hide. I pat her head matapos itong makapa.
Lisa: when we see each other again princess.... I promise to buy you that...
Ella: why mommm, you aren't going shomewhereee right?
She sweetly asked.
Lisa: Kiss me, Ella.
Ella: You didn't anshwer meeee.

Ella: sho whattt?
Lisa: I'll miss you baby. I love you so much. When we see each other again, sana hindi ka na bulol sa 'esh'.
I mocked before letting my tears roll down my cheeks.
