Page 63 – Crazy For You
Matapos akong dalhin sa doctor para ipa-check at gamutin ‘yung injury ko sa pisngi, ibinalik nila ako sa ibang kwarto. The man I’ve chosen as my personal guard was waiting for me with his mask off.
Green eyes, crooked nose, plumped lips, messy black hair, he’s beautiful but at the same time hard. Muscles were visible throughout his body. Buti na lang, nakadamit na ulit siya ngayon.
When he saw me, he stalked towards me. Hindi ko mapigilang mapa-atras. But he just gave me my scarf. The scarf I lent to him to cover his naked body.
“Keep it.” malakas na bulong ko. I have bad memories with that scarf.
All of these are very new. A new kind of danger I don’t wish to be involve.
Pero may choice ba ako?
He smiled at me and said, “Thank you. I’ll treasure it.”
De Silva looked like a good man pero hindi ako papadala sa panlabas na anyo. He’s still working under the Emperor and I doubt that the people working for him are good people.
“Zony—“ may sasabihin pa sana siya na akin namang pinutol,
“I want to go home.”
Kahit hindi ako sigurado kung saan ba ito, kahit hindi ko alam kung ito ay pisikal na lugar…gusto ko nang umuwi. Mapag-isa.
“Please.
Take me out of here.”
He looked at me sadly and replied, “Anything you want, Zony. Anything.”

Nasa cabin ako ngayon. A black car had sent me back to the beach while my eyes were blindfolded. The last thing I saw before they put a blindfold on me was the grinning face of the Emperor.
“Prepare for the third lesson, niece. For a while, enjoy your vacation.” ‘yan ang kaniyang huling sinabi.
Naglakad na lang ako pabalik sa cabin. The Emperor also warned me not to tell anyone about him or our meeting. Hindi ko raw magugustuhan ang mangyayari sa oras na may pagsabihan akong iba. No one should treat his threats lightly. Kaya naman kahit gustong-gusto ko nang tawagan si Trouble, pinipigilan ko ang sarili.
I couldn’t do that to her. She was trying her best to help me. Ayaw kong madamay o mapahamak ang kaibigan ko.
Tulala akong naupo sa upuan ng maliit kong dining table. At least I have a one month of peace na walang nangugulo. Napatawa ako ng malakas na kaagad namang naglaho dahil walang katawa-tawa sa mga nangyayari sa akin. Nababaliw na ata ako.
Bakit ba nangyayari ang mga ‘to sa akin?
Wala naman akong ginagawa. Nagpapakatahimik ako. I was trying to heal myself and when I finally sensed some improvement, doon naman nangyari ang mga kamalasan.
Getting kidnapped on a beach and meeting one of the most powerful persons of the mafia underworld na Uncle ko pala, na asawa pala ni Tita Lin. In all the times I was with her, she never showed any signs that she’s connected with the mafia famiglia. Tita Lin, Lindsey Fernia, no. She once told it to us before, her complete name…
Lindsey Linnaea Fernia. Kaya LinLin ang tawag sa kaniya ng kapatid niya. If what the Emperor said was true, something must have happened between them kasi hindi naman ginagamit ni Tita Lin ang apelyido na Ionendarr.
Sigurado ako na alam ng Emperor kung saan siya nakatira. But unlike what he’s doing to me, why is he not bothering her all these years? Every time he speaks of her name, his eyes would soften the way he never did even with me kahit na aliw na aliw na siya sa akin. Herzekiel Ionendarr is in love with Tita Lin and at one time Tita Lin was too because they got married—or maybe not because knowing him, he could force himself the way he’s forcing me right now.
But am I really being forced? A part of me like this. A part of me awaken when he told me he will help to make me stronger…better. Pero sa ganitong paraan ba? This world is dark, very shady, very different than what I am used too. The mere activity of exchanging words with him was very exhausting. Sinabi rin niya na the first and second test were the easiest.
Paano na lang ‘yung mga susunod? Kakayanin ko ba? None of these was funny. Not funny at all. I feel like I’m going dark again. Napakaaga pa para mangyari ang mga ‘to sa akin.
Napayuko ako at napahilamos ng marahas sa mukha. Nang may nahawakan akong basa, umiiyak na pala ako. These days, hindi ko na napapansin kaagad na umiiyak na ako. It is because I am too occupied by other emotions like fear and worry to even notice my tears.
There are people like me who lately realize they’re crying because the things happening to them were just too much.
Napatayo ako bigla nang may narinig akong mga pagkatok sa babasaging bintana. Kaagad akong tumingin dito not bothering to wipe my tears, and there I saw him,
De Silva.
Anong ginagawa niya dito at bakit sa bintana siya kumakatok samantalang may pintuan? May dalawang taong sumulpot sa likuran niya. May kulay ang buhok nung isa. Half of his hair up to his roots were blonde then the other half up to the tip was black. The other man was covered in tattoos. I do not know them. I do not know much about his world and I really don’t want to know anything about it.
Lumapit ako sa bintana. I slide one panel so that a half of it was now open.
“Bakit ka na nandito?” tanong ko sa kaniya.
“I’m checking if you’re alright—“
“Sino ang mga ‘yan?”
“They are my friends. I—“
“I’m back in my cabin. I haven’t told anyone neither I will attempt to do so. Your job is done. You can go back to your Emperor now.”
I don’t care. Who knows, baka ipinadala sila dito ng Emperor para masiguradong hindi ako tumakas.
Isinasara ko na ‘yung bintana nang napatigil ako dahil iniharang niya ang kaliwang kamay. Dahil malakas ang pagkaka-slide ko at hindi ko naman inasahang gagawin niya ‘yon, naipit ang kamay ni De Silva.
“Shit! Sorry!” automatiko akong napahingi ng paumanhin.
Kaagad kong inislide papalayo ang bintana setting his hand free. Hindi man lang siya sumigaw dahil sa sakit. Nang tumingin ako sa mukha niya, he didn’t show any sign of pain. But I know it hurts. Namumula na ‘yung tama sa kamay niya.
The unwarranted guilt was suddenly replaced by anger, “Why did you do that? Baliw ka ba?” galit na tanong ko.
“Pfft…kung alam mo lang. Baliw talaga ‘yan.” sabi nung maraming tattoo.
“Sa’yo.” dagdag nung isa pa na nasa bandang kaliwa na may kulay ang buhok.
