Lost In the Sea (Montereal Series #2)

[29]

My eyebrows were furrowed the whole time I was packing my stuff for the trip.

Tuwing nakikita ko talaga 'yung Enzo na 'yun, lagi nalang nag-iinit ang dugo ko. Tapos ngayon, kasama ko pa siya? Ano ba talaga ang kailangan niya sa akin? Why can't he go straight to the point with me? Hindi 'yung papatagalin niya pa nang ganito.

Hindi na pinasama si Rere kaya ako lang talaga at siya.  Damn it! Saan naman ako dadalhin nitong lalaking 'to? Papatayin na ba niya ako? Baka may alam ako tungkol sa kanya kaya tinatago niya ako? Tapos ngayon niya lang narealize na dapat pala pinatay niya na ako.

What if... all this time he was the one who attempted to kill me! Posible 'yun! Lalo pa at napakamisteryoso niya. Dagdag mo pa na mukhang mayaman talaga siya. Maybe I did know something about him, that's why he is doing this to me. Kaya niya ako tinatago dito.

"Are you done?" he asked as I placed my backpack on the couch. Ni wala nga akong ideya kung saan kami pupunta.

I just pointed at my backpack and sat beside it. Nakasuot na rin ako ng bikini sa loob. It was one of the stuff that he bought me last month. Hindi ko nga alam kung paano niya nalaman ang sizes ko. Did he measure me while I was asleep? 

"Let's go," sabi niya. "Hindi mo naman gugustuhin na mag-aksaya ng panahon, diba?"

I pouted. Kukunin ko na sana 'yung backpack ko, pero naunahan niya na ako.

"Enjoy, ate!" Rere said, waving at me. 

Sa kalayuan, nakikita ko na ang yate niya. Wag mong sabihin na dyan kami sasakay? Well, maybe I can find a way to get out of his sight. Kahit tumalon pa ako ulit sa dagat.

There is a boat waiting for us. Ngumiti 'yung Kuya sa amin. Mukhang masiyahin din siya at ngiting-ngiti sa amin.

"Good morning, ma'am at Sir Enzo! Ready na po ang inyong bangka!" bati nito.

"Salamat, manong." sabi ni Enzo. Hinawakan niya ang palapulsahan ko ng mahina at inalalayan sa bangka.

The whole ride towards the yacht, I was just looking around the sea. I crossed my arms without looking at Enzo.

Nung makarating naman kami sa yate niya ay dumiretso na ako sa kwarto. I just placed my stuff there and went out of the room. I don't know where he is taking me, but I guess it's just somewhere near. I bet he's scared that I will escape.

Umakyat ako at pinagmasdan ang takbo ng yate. I leaned on the railings and admired the sea. It's blueness... how the waves move as we cross. Parang pumapasok bigla sa isip ko na tumalon nalang dito, para makataas lang sa kanya. But at least, he gave me the opportunity to get out of that island. It's getting boring every single day.

Pinagmasdan ko lang mga paligid ko. I did not know where he is, but I guess he's just near. Of course, this is his yacht.

I didn't know where we are going but it looks like the place we'll be going to is just near. Siyempre, hindi naman niya rin siguro ako dadalhin sa malayo, dahil ayaw niya akong makatakas.

I suddenly saw him, walking towards me. Nung magtama ang paningin namin ay agad akong umiwas ng tingin. Tinabihan niya naman ako dito.

The yacht stopped so I looked around the place. Eto na ba 'yung pupuntahan namin?

"Where are we?" I asked when we stopped.

"Coron," he answered.

I looked around. I felt like I've been here already. Have I? Maybe.

I am currently wearing my pink bikini inside. I don't know what he has planned for today, but I guess I'll just enjoy it. Hindi ko alam kung kailan niya ako ilalabas ulit ng ganito, that's why I have to make the most out of it. I have to know the islands surrounding here. Para pag na-contact ko ang pamilya ko, masasabi ko kung nasaan ako.
