DISGUISE US

KABANATA 30

"I wish I was good e-enough, I wish someone would j-just care. Just s-someone." I said as I cried to my pillow until I fall asleep.

"Maureen, I wanted to be the witness of Delaney's case but," I thrilled off.

"But what?" She asked.

"But I wanted to keep my identity away from the case. I wanted to be anonymous-"

She cut me off, "Pero baka mabasura ang kaso niya kung hindi ka magpapakita sa korte dahil baka isipin nilang gawa-gawa lang ang statement na sasabihin mo laban sa kampo ni Keanu."

"I just don't want to involve my name in the case. I don't want the media to search things from my private life. Kung bakit ako nainvolve doon. Ayaw ko lang din masira ang image ko in public as model at hotel owner. So please Maureen, do me a favor, for me and Vilem Mace. Even to your cousin, Valmor. Please?" I said sounded like I'm begging for it.

"Okay. I will tell to Delaney's side that I have you as witness but you don't want to stand out in the court. So, I will just ask them if we could just recorded your statement as an evidence to their case." She said.

"Thank you, Mau." I seriously said.

"Welcome but thanks God, may solid evidence na kami sa kaso ni Delaney dahil lumabas ka as witness pero hindi man siguro sa korte. Malaking tulong na din iyon." masayang pahayag niya.

Lumipas ang dalawang ay pumayag sa panig ni Delaney na itago ang identity ko kaya naman kaya naman nagset na din si Maureen ng araw para doon.

"Tawagin niyo na lang ako sa pangalang Mabel. Isa ako sa dumalo noong gabing naganap ang lahat."

"Ayos ka lang bang maiwan muna saglit dito, babes?" tanong ni Yasmine.

"Magrerestroom lang kami bago tayo umalis dito." dagdag pa ni Precious.

"Oo. Sige lang. Nahihilo na din ako. I'll just wait here." sambit ko naman.

Habang naghihintay ako sa kanila ay bigla akong nakaramdam ng pangtawag ng kalikasan, I mean naiihi na din ako kaya sumunod ako sa kanila sa restroom. Dahil malayo ng restroom sa couch namin ay kailangan ko pang dumaan sa mga private room. Sa paglalakad ko ay nakarinig ako nang mga bulungan.

"Did you put the drug to her drinks?" I clearly heard Keanu's voice from the inside of the room.

"Yeah. Nilagay ko kanina." hindi ko kilala kung sinong kausap niya.

Nawala ang pagiging tipsy ko dahil doon at naglakas loob akong sumilip. Doon ko na nakita kung papaano niya hubarin ang mga damit at niraped ni Keanu si Delaney. Napaatras ako at napabalik sa couch namin na parang wala akong nangyari o nakita doon. Saktong dumating ang dalawa kaya niyaya ko silang umalis doon nang hindi sinasabi ang nakita ko. Lumipas ang dalawang buwan noon ay umalis na si Delaney sa pagiging model dahil sa personal na rason niya. Lumabas din ang issue na si Keanu ang may gawa dahil may nagsalitang waiter ng club at sinabing may isang model na nakakita doon. Dahil sa nakita ko ay natrauma ako at ilang buwang hindi nakapasok sa modeling o sa hotel hanggang sa malaman kong may sakit na ko dahil doon. Itinago namin ang nasaksihan ko para sa proteksiyon ko.

"At iyon lang po ang alam kong nangyari noong maganap iyon."

I was about to entered the house but a delivery man approached me.

"Is this Abel's Residence?" He asked.

"Yes, may I help you?"

"We have a delivering service to your address."

"Pardon me?"

"Are you Miss Chandria Abel?"

"Yes, why?" I felt someone who sprayed something on me and then my vision gets blurred and blurred.

Anong nangyayari sa akin? *black*

"Hey Siri!" I greeted in sad tone. I was talking to my phone.

-tot-tot-

"How do you say goodbye to someone you can't imagine living without?"

-The question is too difficult to answer. What would you say?-

"I didn't say goodbye. I didn't say anything. I just, walked away.

-Are you still feeling sad?-

"Of course. But you know? Not every encounter has an end. But each meeting carries some meanings."

-Yes, some people are there help you grow.-

"I wish you happiness."

"Hey there babes, you're awake!" Keanu greeted me with smirks.

I was sitting in the grass and he's squatting in front of me. This place was familiar to me. I think I've been here before with someone.

"What the hell am I doing here!?" galit kong tanong at naramdaman kong nakatali ang mga kamay ko sa likuran ko pero malaya kong nagagalaw ang mga paa ko kaya sinipa ko na dahilan kung bakit siya napaupo sa damuhan, "What do you want?! Let me alone Keanu! You supposed to be inside the jail now! You're proven guilty!"

"Not yet, darling. I still have a show to act with. A villian to your love life. I can't just go to the jail without seeing Valmor's mourning for your death."

"W-what did you just say?"

"If I can't have you to called as mine, then Valmor cannot have you too." He devilish smiles to me.

"I'm sorry I don't say I love you a lot, I just wanted to remind you that you're so important to me." I shyly said to Valmor but he just chuckled and pulled me into tight hugs.

"MEMORY!" Valmor shouted.

I looked around and I saw standing meters away from me.

"VALMOR! I'M HERE! HELP ME!" I shouted back and stood up to run away from Keanu.

He's just smirking while letting me running away from him.

I was in my half way when Valmor meet me but I heard a gunshot from my back. And another gunshots in my surrounding.

The next thing I know I was slowly lying in the grass while Valmor was trying to saving me from falling and crying as he loudly scream my name as he begging me not to leave.

"MEMORYYYYYYYYYY! PLEASE WAKE UP! PLEASE DON'T LEAVE AGAIN! MEMORRRRYYYYYY! PLEASE!!!"

"I just wanna feel something," I thrilled off to the man infront of me.

"Something?" He casually asked.

"I just wanna feel,"

"Feel?"

"Something really real so that I can really,"

"Something real?"

"Feel like a person again."

A flashback appeared again. There is a man standing infront of me. Do I know him or he just know me? Are we related to each other or something?

"Stranger." I whispered.

"Still don't know my name?" He asked sounded like he's hoping that I knew him.

I shook my head twice before walked away.

"I l-love y-you, V-almor. G-ood..bye." I uttered as I slowly closing my eyes as he scream again.

"I love you too, but please no! Hold on, Memory! No! Please! Wake up darling! Noooooooooo!!!"

Accept or decline?
