Travis' PoV
"Pabalik na po sila Mr. Delaviña--"
Bumuntong hininga si dad, "This is very alarming, call the cops. Walang kalaban laban si Alexiandra sa plano ni Adrales ngayon. She's unarmed."
Hindi sila sumagot pero dinig namin na kumikilos sila at nagmamadali. Gusto kong mag salita pero puro tanong lang ang sa tingin kong lalabas sa bibig ko at hindi makakatulong 'yon.
"They can't touch Cristobal, Mr. Enriquez. If they do, their plan might get ruined," paalala nung dalawang lalake sa likod.
"But knowing Alexiandra's persistency, she'll be in trouble."
Alam nila ang dapat gawin, pero ni-isa sa'min walang may alam sa susunod na mangyayari. Sobrang sikip ng dibdib ko, I feel like not wanting to feel anything at the moment.
I'm trying so hard not to freak out in front of them, pero habang tumatagal ako dito sa sasakyan, hindi ko na kinakayang manatiling kalmado kagaya nila. I'm not that kind of person and I hate it, it's making me hate myself even more
Simula kanina ay pilit kong iniiwasan na magpumilit sa gusto ko at gumawa ng katangahan dahil lang sa emosyon. Ayokong maging pabigat sakanila dahil lang sa pag-aalala ko, sila ang kumikilos at mas nahihirapan sila kaysa sa'kin.
Mas naiinis ako sa sarili ko sa ganito, napakahina ko. I can't do anything for her, I am not enough to protect her. Kulang na kulang yung mga kaya kong gawin sa gusto kong gawin para kay Alex.
"Relax yourself, son. Come on, we will get through this."
"May mga kasamang pulis sila Mr. Delaviña. Papunta na sila sa current location ni Alex, it's near Subic port. Mabagal lang ang paggalaw ni Alex, hindi pa naman nakakalayo sa ngayon."
"Really? Subic port? Of all places? Sa publiko pa talaga."
"I think they had a sudden change of plan, na-alarma sila sa pag dating ni Mr. Delaviña. They will be using a private yacht to escape and kidnap the Cristobals'."
Hindi ko mapigilang isipin na posibleng mangyari 'yon. Gusto kong ipasok sa utak ko na may mga pulis, pero Adrales' power scares me to death.
"Actually po they did not change their plan but they planned to do both plan A and B. I heard them talking this morning, they will frame-up Cristobal when they arrived in China," sagot ni Francis matapos marinig ang sinabi ni Grace.
Kinuha ni daddy ang cellphone na hawak ko, hindi ko napansing paunti-unti ko na palang naibababa ang pag hawak at hindi na kami naririnig nila Barbie.
Why am I a useless piece of shit in here?
"Straighten your back, Travis Nicholas."
Napapahiya akong umayos ng upo dahil sa galit at striktong tono ni daddy.
Narinig ko pang bumuntong hininga si Francis, "Stop showing that annoying hopeless face of yours. Alexiandra needs you but you're acting like that? Come on, man."
"I'm sorry," that's the only phrase I was able to utter. Napalitan ng kahihiyan at guilty ang humihinang lakas ng loob ko. If Alex is motivated by her family to move with bravery, then I think I could also do it.
"Baby, are you okay? Don't lose hope, please. We won't let anything bad happen to Alexiandra. Fight for her, son. We are just behind you," sabi ni mommy sa nag-aalalang boses.
"Yes, mom. I'm okay."
"We are already near Subic Port, where can we spot Alexiandra?" tanong ni daddy habang tumitingin sa kaliwa't kanan, and so I did the same. Suddenly, I saw an overspeeding car passed by infront of us--
