"Yaya, where's mommy?" I asked Aling Imelda, our long time maid. Hindi ko kasi makita si mommy.

Nilingon naman ako ni Aling Imelda tsaka ngumiti habang nagpupunas ng pinggan.

"May pinuntahan lang. Babalik din kaagad 'yon, hintayin mo na lang," aniya. Napabuntong hining naman ako at bahagyang napasimangot.

Lumabas na lang ako tsaka naupo sa damuhan. Tahimik lang akong sinusuklayan ang barbie doll ko habang naghihintay sa pagbalik ni mommy.

Agad naman akong napangiti ng may marinig akong makina ng sasakyan. I got up and ran towards the gate. I was so excited when I opened the gate but my smile slowly vanished in the thin air. My brows drew together when I saw a woman standing in front of me. I don't know her and her face isn't familiar too.

"Who are you?" I asked but she just stared at me, smiling devilishly. It sent a shiver down my spine so I immediately turned my back. My mom told me that I shouldn't talk to strangers.

I was about to enter the gate ng may biglang magtakip sa bibig ko gamit ang panyo. I tried to defend myself but I couldn't fight anymore. The drug was sprayed at the handkerchief is already enter my system. Hanggang sa unti-unting bumagsak ang talukap ko.

When I woke up, I couldn't see properly. Sobrang dilim ng paligid. I tried to move my hands, but it turned out that both of my hands and feet were chained.

Hindi ko alam kung paano ako napunta rito. Ang naaalala ko ay nasa bahay ako kanina. Napayuko na lang tuloy ako at kinagat ang ibabang labi.

Kahit saan ako tumingin, puro kadiliman ang nakikita ko. Ang I hate it! I hate darkness because all I can feel is loneliness.

"I don't want to be here, I want to go home," I whisper. My tears start to flow.

"If you want to go home, then be strong. Stop crying." I heard someone said at the dark. Napahinto naman ako sa pag-iyak. Nanliit pa ang mata ko ng unti-unti kong maaninag ang bulto ng isang bata hindi kalayuan sa pwesto ko.

"Who are you?" I asked. I waited for him to answer but there was no response. Napabuntong hininga naman ako.

Maybe, that's was just a fragment of my imagination. Wala talaga siguro akong kasama sa madilim na silid na ito. I just hope, mahanap kaagad ako ni mommy.

The next day, I was awakened by the noise. When I open my eyes, I almost scream out of my throat. I trembled in fear, my hands were shaking.

"I want to go home!"

"Don't kill me, please?"

"Gusto ko ng umuwi, pakawalan niyo na kami,"

Nakagat ko na lang ang ibabang labi ki habang pinagmamasdan ang nagkalat na katawan sa paligid ko. May hands were unchained, pero parang mas gugustuhin ko pa atang mag-isa kaysa nandito ako sa isang silid kung kasama ng mga bangkay.

Some other corpses were badly damaged. I could see their blood scattered on the floor. I can hear cries behind the concrete wall, begging to let us go.

Agad naman akong kinilabutan ng biglang bumukas ang pinto. The men in black enter the room and roam around. Nayakap ko na lang ang sarili ko ng dumampot sila ng isa. The poor girl is crying, begging to spare her life. Kumuha pa sila ng limang bata bago tuluyang isinara ang pinto.
