Dear Heart, Why Him? (Heart Series #1)

16

Sumasakit ang ulo ko. It's almost 10 pm na rin pala. Nag text na sa akin si Kuya pero ayoko pa umuwi, nag eenjoy pa ako. Marami na rin akong nakausap rito, may mga kakilala ako at nakilala pa.

"Eli, nagtext sa akin si Dale, ako na maghahatid sayo pauwi." Sabi sa akin ni Xhenlai.

Tumango naman ako. "Sige.." mahinang sabi ko.

Nahihiya pa rin ako sa ginawa ko kanina. Umiinom pa rin ako pero konti na lang, nahihilo na rin ako.

"Guys, tara sa labas!" Malakas na sabi ni Freya sa amin na nasa loob, malaki rin ang mga ngiti nya.

Tumayo naman kami at nagpunta sa labas. Sobrang dami nilang nagtitipon tipon kaya lumapit sila. Ako naman ay nanatili lang sa may malaking sliding door at nakatanaw sa kanila.

"Are you guys ready for the real fun?!" Malakas na sabi nung nasa gitna.

"Whoooo!"

"Yeah!"

"It's time for the real party!"

"YES!"

Malakas na sabi nila. Si Xhenlai ay lumapit rin doon kasama sila Aries at Tom habang si Tiffany naman ay kasama ko dito. Ayaw na rin daw nyang pumunta doon dahil baka mapainom na naman sya.

"Three.. two.." Bilang pa nila. "One!" Sabay sabay nilang binuksa yung wine.

I flinched when I heard the sound of it. My eyes widened when I heard something. My vision became blurry. I almost fell when I tried to step back. Nawala ang pandinig ko at biglang umikot ang paningin ko.

I want to run away. I want to cry and scream for help.

I don't know what's happening.. it's dark.. I can't see anything. Kahit na nakamulat ako ay wala akong makita. I tried to close my eyes for a second at muli itong binuksan, medyo nakakita na ako. I can see Tiffany's face in front of me, her worried face. May sinasabi sya na hindi ko maintindihan.

Parang bumabagal ang paligid. She's talking to me, I tried to speak pero walang lumabas sa bibig ko. Hanggang sa may biglang pumasok sa isip ko at mas lalo akong natakot.

"Eli!" Sigaw ni Tiffany.

I didn't respond. I was focused on what's I'm seeing. Para akong nasa gubat, I was panting and breathing heavily. I want to escape but I don't know how. Someone is chasing me.

"Eli.." i heard a voice of the man. Mabilis akong nagtago sa likod ng puno. My hands are still tied. "Lumabas ka dyan, Eli.. kapag nahuli kita.." binitin nya ang sasabihin.

I was trembling in fear, I was crying silently. I was praying na sana makaalis na ako dito. I was really terrified and praying for my life.

Mom.. dad.. kuya.. help me.

I want to live.. please.. someone please help me..

"HULE!" My eyes widened when a man appeared in front of me. I can't clearly see his face.

I heard a loud noise, it's like a sound of a gun!

"AAAAAHHHH!" I shouted.

"Eli!" Tawag sa akin ni Tiffany.

I covered my ears, sunod sunod ang putok. Gusto kong umiyak, natatakot ako.
