CURSED

HUMAHANGOS na nagising si Isla mula sa malalim na pagkakatulog. Bakas sa mukha nito ang takot at pangamba. Who wouldn't be? Her past that she tries to forget keep hunting her even in her dreams. Marahan nyang pinunasan ang mukha na tigmak ng pawis bago nagtungo sa maliit na banyo ng kanyang tinitirahan.Mariin ang pagkakatitig nya sa repleksyon sa salamin. Puno ng pagkamuhi at pagka dismaya ang mga mata nito habang nakatingin sa sarili sa salamin.She has a heart shape innocent face that can compared to an angel, a milk-like porcelain skin, an intimidating mismatched paired of eyes, a proud little nose and a perfect shaped lips. But instead to felt a delight, she felt unlucky. Because of her face the people that she adored so much died.Malakas niyang hinampas ng matigas na bagay ang salamin bago humagulgol ng malakas."Ahhhhh!!... Tigilan nyo na ko! P-pakiusap. Tigilan nyo na ko." They keeps hunting her. Those ranging eyes. Those wicked smile. They keep

MALAPIT ng lumubog ang araw ngunit hindi pa rin makapag pasya si Isla kung pupunta ba sya o hindi.She keeps biting her nails because of nervousness while walking back and forth. She repeatedly inhaling deeply to calm herself but it's no used."Paano kung katulad lang sya ng iba?.." hindi nya maiwasang tanong sa sarili. Everyone has their own greed. She's afraid that someone might harm her again and this time wala na ang papa at lola nya upang iligtas sya. She's all alone and she can't bare to face an another nightmare.Namumula na ang paligid ng kanyang mata at tungki ng kanyang ilong dahil nagsisimula na syang maiyak dahil sa matinding pagkalitong nararamdaman. She confuse and scared at the same time."Paano pag gusto nya rin akong saktan? Paano kung kasama pala sya nila mommy? No.. Hindi, hindi ayoko. Hindi pwede." tuluyan ng tumulo ang mga luhang nagbabadya sa kanyang mga mata. Puno ng takot ang mababanaag sa kanyang mukha. She's overthinking again.

ISLA woke up from her nightmare. She can't forget those faces, the faces of those person who keeps hunting her even in her dreams. Her chest shouting for resentment towards them but avenging never crossed to her innocent mind. All she wanted to do is to escape and to have a peaceful life. Pero mukang suntok sa bwan ang hiling na meron sya. Gabi-gabi nyang hinahabol ng takot at konsensya na meron sya. She keep blaming herself for what happened to her father and abuela. Her heart is yearning for comfort but she can't found one.Inikot nya ang paningin nya sa kwartong kinalalagyan nya at sumagi sa isip nya ang lalakeng dahilan kung bakit sya narito. Suddenly, she felt secure knowing that she was in his place. She felt her presence is belong here. Her smile slowly subsides because of realization. Ang magandang pakiramdam ay napalitan ng pagkabahala ng maalala nya ang mga taong humahabol at naghahanap sa kanya. Hindi maaaring madamay ang iba sa magulo nyang buhay.She don't

IN the middle of Isla's sleep another nightmare visited her. How those rough hands caressing her skin. Those faces is repeatedly flashing in front of her. The horrifying laugh sent a shivered on her system keeps echoing on her ears. The tragedy that keeps her awake every night and like what she always do when she woke up in the middle of night. She cried, she cried her heart 'til the pain lessen a bit.She barely breathe because of the pain. She witnessed how his father died for saving her, that was the most painful night to her at hindi nya alam na mauulit ulit iyon. Her Lola Esmeralda died and its because of her again, someone died for saving her again. Someone she adored has been killed for protecting her. She shouted in agony. She can't take it. Hindi nya na kaya. She need to escape from the pain.Mabilis syang pumunta sa banyo. Seeing her face in the mirror make her wanting to ruin her face. Resentment and horror is visible in her eyes. Her brows are forming a thi

Good morning too asshole. Tsk. You better go back here nakuha ko na ang pinapahanap mo and aside from the fact that your company needs you. So, yeah.. Its important." Naiiling na ibinaba na rin nya ang tawag ng binabaan sya ng tawag ng kausap at hindi na sya pinagsalita pa. He don't know if he can considered his self as lucky or not for having those bunch of assholes.Hindi naman nya mapigilang ngumiti nang makita nya ang anghel nya na mapayapang natutulog sa kanyang kama. Walang ingay na  lumakad sya papalapit dito at masuyong tinitigan ang mukha ng dalaga.Hindi maalis ang ngiti nya sa labi nang maalala kung anong nangyari sa pagitan nila ng dalaga kagabi.She gave her innocence in me. Fuck. I'm such a lucky bastard.Marahan nyang inalis ang n
