Destined To Love Her Times Three (MiChaeng)

Destined To Love You Times Three: MiChaeng part 53

Hindi mapakali ang kamay ni Mina habang nakasakay sa taxi pauwi. She has a hint on why Rei is missing and she think it's Somi's doing.

Agad siyang nagbayad nang huminto ang sinasakyan sa tapat ng bahay nila. Tinakbo niya ang pagitan at nadatnan ang kanyang ina na natataranta.

M's mom: Mina! Mina....Mina...my grandson...
Mina: Mom, let's calm down..

Iginiya niya ang ina sa sofa at saka nagpunta sa kusina para kumuha ng isang basong tubig. Agad naman niya itong naubos dahil sa sobrang nerbyos.

Mina: Now, tell me what happened.

Huminga ng malalim ang kanyang ina at hinawakan ang kamay niya.

M’s mom: He was just playing outside…then I went inside to get him a towel…the…I went out…then he’s nowhere to be found….Oh God…My Rei…
Mina: Is there a suspicious car or any vehicle?
M’s mom: No…oh! There is this black car..before I could even read the plate…it disappeared.

Tumahimik lang si Mina. If this is a kidnapping case, the one who abduct must call them and ask for a ransom. She kept calm and rational.

Mina: I will do anything to make him safe, mom..don’t worry.
M’s mom: Thannk you…

Iniwan niya ito sandali para sana tawagan si Chae ngunit nakita niya sa screen ang unregistered number. Kutob niya’y ang kidnapper ito. Lumayo pa siya sa kanyang ina bago sagutin ang tawag para hindi nito marinig ang usapan.

Mina: Hello?
Somi: It’s me.

Mina smirked. So, tama ang hinala niyang ang babaeng ito ang nagpakidnap sa anak niya.

Mina: Yes?
Somi: I’m with your precious son.
Mina: I know.
Somi: Wow, you sound composed.
Mina: I am always composed.

She heard a laugh on the line and a familiar crackle sound. Nakaramdam siya ng kaba…ang tunog na iyon ay ang madalas niya noong paglaruan at gamitin…baril…Somi has a gun and it fears her that Rei might be hurt..

Somi: I have a little friend here (pertaining to a gun).

Somi’s voice is so soft and sounds scary. Pinaglaruan nito ang baril na hawak niya at tinititigan ng may ngiting makahulugan.

Mina: Is that…a gun?
Somi: Woo, you’re smart..no wonder you are an owner of spy company.
Mina: Somi, do not hurt my son. I am warning you.

Somi chuckled because disbelief. Then, a sudden gun shot was heard by Mina on the line and she heard how Rei scream in fear.

Mina: SOMI!!!!
Somi: Ginagalit mo ako…sorry about that
Mina: Is…I-is he okay!?
Somi: He’s fine. Muntik palang.
Mina: Please….wag mong saktan ang anak ko..
Somi: I am waiting for a common question you see on moments like this, just like on the movies..

Napasabunot si Mina sa kanyang buhok gamit ang kaliwang kamay. Napapapikit siya ng mariin dahil sa inis. Kaninang simula ng kanilang pag uusap, hindi siya natatakot. Pero nang malaman niyang may dalang baril si Somi at nasa tabi niya lang si Rei ay natatakot na siya ng sobra.

Hearing Rei’s howling made her go on her knees. She cried in silence and started to think about that question. In the movie scene like this….the common question is…

Mina: What do you want?
Somi: Ow, you’re making me like you now…
Mina: what-do-you-want?
Somi: Leave this country. Leave everything here, including Chae.
Mina: Is this about Chaeyoung?
Somi: well, yes.
Mina: You don’t have to worry about that. I am not letting Chae stay with me. So please, don’t hurt my son and you’ll have Chae all yours.

Nasasaktan si Mina sa sariling sinasabi niya. Rei is a promise for Kane. She has to protect him at all cost…even Chae is the exchange of that safety…

Somi: Really?
Mina: Yes

A rough lump in her throat again. Saying yes is not beautiful at any occasion. She proved that by experience.

Somi: Paano ako makakasigurado na iiwan mo talaga si Chae? At bakit naman ako maniniwala sayo?
Mina: May ticket na ako pabalik sa Japan. Aalis na kami mamaya.
Somi: We’re at an abandoned warehouse near the company. Don’t call anyone or else, I’ll return your son breathless.
Mina: Yes…I will not call anyone…don’t hurt him.

Nang mamatay ang tawag ay dumiretso si Mina sa kanyang kwarto para kunin ang baril niya. Hindi siya papayag na wala siyang dalang panangga para mailigtas ang anak niya.

M’s mom: Where are you going?
Mina: Wait me here, mom. Pack your things and Rei’s. We’ll leave as soon as I go back. Don’t call anyone and lock the door. I’ll be back safe.

She hugged her worried mom and leave. She started the engine as she reached the car and drove faster. A 15-minute drive feels like a second because of her fast driving. Itinago niya ang kanyang baril sa likod ng pantalon na suot at lumabas sa kotse.

Mina: I’ll make you safe, son.

Tahimik siyang pumasok sa loob ng abandonadong bodega at hinanap ang dalawa. Napahinto siya nang makita niya si Somi at Rei. Nakatali sa upuan si Rei at may takip ang bibig at mata nito. This woman is heartless even at kids!

Nagpakita siya kay Somi at agad naman itong ngumiti sa kanya. She never knew that Somi will stoop this low just for unfaithful love of Chaeyoung. His love is just true when it comes to Mina.

Somi: Mina..you’re here.
Mina: I’m here to fetch my son.
Somi: Ah-ah-ah, not that fast.
Mina: W-what?
Somi: Text Chae.

Napakunot ang noo niya sa sinabi nito. Really? Messaging Chae is too common. Pati ba naman sa reyalidad e magagawa nila ito?

Mina: I guarantee you. Chae will be yours.
Somi: I don’t believe you. Just do what I say!

Tinutok ni Somi ang baril sa sintido ni Rei na ikinaalarma nito. Nanginging ang mga kamay nitong kinuha ang phone sa kanyang bulsa. Napahinto siya sa pagkalkal nang mahulog ang baril niya.

Kinakabahang sinulyapan niya si Somi na nakatingin lang sa baril. Tumawa ito at ikinasa ang baril niya at idiniin ang ulo ng baril sa sintido ni Rei.

Mina: Please! Please! Don’t hurt him!!!
Somi: You think you can fool me!?
Mina: I will not use that so don’t kill him please!

Ipinakita ni Mina rito ang kanyang cellphone at nanginginig na nagtipa. Pinanood lang ito ni Somi at napapangiti sa nakikita. She can hear Rei’s little sobs and it’s making her more happy. She feels superior.

Mina sent the message and Somi grabbed her phone. Habang binabasa ni Somi ang tinext niya kay Chae at unti unti niyang kinuha ang baril. As she reached the gun, Somi saw her and the next thing happen shocked her..

Napahinto si Chae sa pagpasok sa bodega nang may magtext sa kanya. From Mina..

“Chae, I don’t really love you. Thank you for the time I freely use you. But I don’t need you anymore. Para sakin, isa ka lang gamit na kailangan ko lang kapag gusto ko. Pinatunayan mo lang sa akin na wala kang loyalty. Ayaw ko sa ganoong tao. You’re a trash and I just throw garbage on you. Hindi kita mahal, at mahal ko ang pamilya ko. Hindi ko na kailangan ng pagmamahal mo dahil sobra sobra na ang binibigay ng anak ko sakin.”

Napanganga siya sa nabasa. Biglaang ganito? Bago pa siya makapagreply kay Mina ay may narinig siya na isang putok ng baril at napatakbo siya nang wala sa oras. Napatanga siya sa nakita..

Chae: Somi!!!

Somi is lying on the floor, blood all over her body…and Mina’s holding a gun!
