Best Part of Me

31

Kinabukasan ay maaga akong nagising. Hindi ko alam kung hanggang kelan ako mananatili rito sa bahay ni Jordan pero sa ngayon ay ito pa lamang ang alam kong makakatulong sa akin.

Bumaba ako sa sala upang hanapin si Jordan, pero wala siya rito. Naalala ko na wala nga pala ang kotse ko ngayon kaya magcocommute na lamang ako.

I went out of Jordan's house and booked for a Grab.

I was on my to the police station when the car stopped.

"Bakit kuya?" I asked curiously.

"May nakaharang sa harap ma'am." Napatingin ako sa harap, my forehead instantly creased when I saw a van parked right in front of our car.

My heart started to beat terribly fast. Palihim kong kinuha ang folder sa bag ko at tinapon ko sa ilalim ng upuan ng sasakyan. I have a bad feeling about this.

"Shit." I cursed when group of armed men came out of the van. Maging ang driver ay nagulat, they all pointed their gun towards our direction.

"What the fuck." I cursed when they started to knock on our window. Sobra sobrang kaba ang nararamdaman ko ngayon, my brain stopped functioning and I don't know what to do.

I screamed when the armed men suddenly hit the window with their guns, nabasag iyon kaya't napayuko ako. I heard the driver crying to spare him.

"Don't touch me!!" I screamed when they started to drag me outside of the car. My tears started to flow across my cheeks.

"Sumama ka nalang ng maayos para hindi ka masaktan." Saad ng isang lalaki, they started pulling me on my hair dahilan upang mapasunod ako sa kanila. I was crying really loud, shouting for help but no one was coming to help me. I stared at the driver, he looked very scared but he was torn between running away and helping me.

"Just go!" I shouted. He suddenly panicked and started driving away, leaving me with the goons.

"W-what do you need from me?!" I shouted. A man kneeled infront of me and pointed the gun on my forehead, it made me froze from fear.

"Ebidensya." Maikling sagot nito.

I was right. They were after the evidences, and they would do everything to stop me. I smirked at him, and chuckled.

"I threw it away." Sagot ko. Isang nakabibingi at nakakahilong sampal ang inabot ko sa kanya. I sobbed really loud, I was crying in pain, I'm not used with these kind of sufferings. I'm really scared, and I want to ran away from here.

"Dalhin na yan." They suddenly dragged me inside their car, pumalag ako at sinubukan manlaban ngunit mas malakas at mas marami sila sa akin. Anong magagawa ko kundi ang umiyak at magdasal?

They put a blindfold on my eyes, and a tape on lips. I can't do anything but to cry, and fear for my life. I just wanted to run, and hide away from them. I wasn't prepared for this. They forced me to enter the car and pushed me really hard.

After few minutes, the car stopped and they pulled me again outside. I don't know where am I right now, or what are they going to do with me but all I did was to pray that this wouldn't be the last day of my life. They pushed me to sit and they tied me on a chair. Someone removed the blindfold so I adjusted my eyes from the light.

Iginala ko ang mata ko, I wasn't surprised to see them, I was kinda expecting them so I just stared at them while my tears were flowing continuously.

"Hija, I never thought we would end up like this." Jordan's mother smiled at me like she won something.

"For so many years, we tried to hide everything, buried everything, and start all over again. But here you are, on the verge of destroying the name we built for years of hardwork and sweats." She sat infront of me, mocking my situation and smiling like she can do whatever she wants.
