It Will Always Be You

Chapter 19

One month ang nakalipas simula noong pumunta ako sa bahay ni Sebastian. We part our ways, 2 days after because we need to do something important. Hindi naman pwedeng, sa amin dalawa lang iikot ang mundo. May mga kailangan din kaming gawin.

Right now, I'm on my way again to Batangas. Dapat nga hindi ako pupunta dito, because every time I go here, naaalala ko ang pambababoy na ginawa sa akin.

I have to do some checkings dito sa bahay.

"Mam! Nandito po si sir Mason!"

Nanlamig ako nang sabihin iyon ng helper namin. Anong ginagawa ng demonyong iyan?!

"Hi," nakangising bati ni Mason sa akin, and held me on my wrist.

"What the fuck? What are you doing here?" I gritted my teeth while I'm looking at him in the eyes.

He just shrugged casually, nang aasar pa, "Why? This will be my house in the near future," nilapit niya ang mukha niya sa akin, so I stepped backwards, "bawal ba ako dito?"

I gulped, scared. Yung emepkto na ginawa niya sa akin dito mismo sa bahay namin, hindi nag babago. I can feel my legs trembling whenever I see him. Marinig ko lang pangalan niya, I already want to run away.

"Manang!" Tawag niya sa helper, "sa kwarto lang ho kami ng fiancé ko."

I was about to turn my back against him, ng hatakin niya ako paakyat. Nang makapasok kami sa kwarto ko, agad niya akong hinalikan ng marahas at sapilitan tinanggal ang suot kong damit.

"Mason, Mason, please. I'm begging you," I said while I'm crying, and trying to cover myself.

"No," he said and kissed me again, harshly.

For the second time around, I was raped. Inside my fucking house.

Sabi nila, ang bahay natin ang safe haven natin. No one will harm you while you're inside your house. No one. Not even a single soul. Because your house, is your own territory. Wala kung sino man ang pwedeng humawak sayo, when you're inside your house. Pero anong nangyari?

Two weeks had passed since Mason again raped me. Sebastian and I are seeing each other from time to time. It's either ako ang pupunta sa USTe, or siya ang pupunta dito sw UP, and we will go to SM North. Pero usually, siya ang nag aadjust although gusto kong ako nag pupunta sa USTe dahil nandoon ang dalawang kaibigan ko.

"Chelsy? Ayos ka lang ba?" Taurus asked and handed me my milk tea. Nanlibre kasi si gago, kaya syempre sinulit ko na.

I looked up at him, and I had this urge to hug him, and so I did. Naramdaman ko pang nanigas siya sa kinatatayuan niya, but eventually he encircled his arms around my waist.

"Hush now. I'm here okay?" He whispered while caressing my hair, "I know you're not okay--"

I cut him off, "He did it again," I said while crying at sinubsob ko ang mukha ko sa balikat niya.

"Hush now, Chels," he said while rubbing my back, "soon, masisigurado kong makukulong siya," hinarap niya ako, "promise. He will be behind those bars."

I woke, and I felt like vomiting. Madalian akong bumaba sa hagdan ng double deck namin ni Hosea. Halos liparin ko ang distansya ng banyo, at agad akong sumuka doon sa toilet.

I flushed the toilet after I vomit. Napatitig ako sa kawalan habang nakahawak sa tiyan ko ang isang kamay ko.

This...... can't be.
