I Inhaled and exhaled to calm myself down and allow him to open the door."Open it" Pagbukas ng lalaki ay tumambad sa akin si Gio. I slowly entered the room. He's alone, wala bang nagbabantay sa kanya?"A-are you okay now?" He smiled and nodded. "Anong nangyari sa braso mo and your leg, can you still move it?" "Yes, of course. Daplis lang to""Tsk. Acting strong" bulong ng lalaking nagdala sa akin rito. He left us in the room kaya kami nalang dalawa ang naiwan."Come here" ani ya kaya lumapit naman ako. When he can reached me ay mahigpit niya akong niyakap. Which I did too."I was terrified by the thought of not seeing you again" saad niya."Me too.." sabi ko."You did? Really?" He said shocked of what I've said. I nodded at him.Mas lalo kong hinigpitan ang pagkakakapit ng braso ko sa leeg niya. "I was scared" I confessed."I missed you and damn worried because you didn't
A week later, in the cold breezy evening was filled with gunshot and loud voice.Kaagad akong bumangon sa hinihigaan at binalak na lumabas para malaman ang nangyayari when Gio barged into the room."Thamara!" He run towards me and hugged me tight, I felt his soft kisses on my head."Anong nangyayari" I ask, I felt him shivering while embracing me."We have to go, they found this place." Sa sinabi niya ay kaagad akong nagpaubaya, I let him pulled me in the back of the house. Giovan's bodyguards is busy fighting the armed people.The gunshots made me tremble in fear, remembering a bad memory.There a boat awaits us. Kaagad niya akong pinaupo but he didn't board."Gio let's go!" I said to him nang mapansin na wala siyang balak sumakay."Take her!" he shouted at the man and the engine started."No! Gio come with us!""No, I will stay. Bria is here. We need to capture her""But—""
"Because I regret everything""Regret?""Yes, for being a fool and for letting you go, for letting someone take you away, away from me. I wanna beg, no. I'm willing to beg just to have you but what can I do, I'm not that badly desperate to ruin your happiness with someone better. I want you back, and I always wanted you from the beginning but I don't want to be some kind of villain in your story. I regretted my decisions, actions, letting you go, hurting you"Tila natutop ang bibig ko, I don't what to say, to feel and to act. I didn't know... He regretted that much.."Now I should leav—" umatras ako, leaving a space beside me."Please stay, just for tonight" I said. Nakita ko ang pag-aalinlangan sa mata niya but he sat in the side of the bed. I'm not even sure if all of his butt are sitting on the bed."The space is still big" ani ko. Kaya umusog siya but he still leave a big space between us, and I understand it.I lay
Napatingin ako sa katabi ko, nakatulog rin siya."Hey! Gio gabi na" sambit ko habang ginigising siya."Mmmm" he moan as his eyes slowly opened his eyes."Gabi na" ramdam kong gusto niya pang matulog pero pinilit niya ang sarili na tumayo."Let's go" sabi niya at inalalayan ako.And it those days I didn't realize to exhaust myself and I ended up having fever. I woke up shivering in cold and beads of sweat coming of from my forehead. I pulled the blanket towards me to get warm but it didn't help. The door clicked open and it was Gio bodyguard."Ma'am kain na dw po kayo, dahil magtatanghalian na.""I-i'm not h-hungr—""Ma'am okay lang po kayo?" The man touch my forehead and when he place his hand to my head ay kaagad siyang lumabas ng kwarto. Ang tanging narinig ko lamang ay ang sigaw niya bago nagsara ang pinto."MAY LAGNAT SI MA'AM!!"Sunod-sunod ang pagpasok ng mga bodyguards, iba-iba
The days had past, Gio and I had become closer to each other. No more awkward feeling and I feel much more comfortable that ever. "Good morning, coffee?" Saad ko sabay angat sa tasang hawak ko. Gio who just got out of the room look at me before smiling. "Good morning, yes, I'll just make mine" sabi niya na ikinatango ko."Do you want to snorkel later?" Sabi niya. To ease my boredom here ay dagat ang naging tulong sa akin. It is better for me away from phones and gadget.Pinagbawal kasi ni Gio na tumawag ako dahil baka may makadetech ng phone ko. "Mmmm yes, sasamahan mo ulit ako?""Of course, the waters dangerous. I can't risk it" Tumango na lamang ako.I tried everything just to forget what happened, I pretend that I am not in any danger and just in a vacation. At least it ease my mind from everything."Let's go" sigaw ko kay Gio. Kaagad naman siyang tumakbo sa kinaroroonan ko."Excited as always" An
"The suspect is Brianna, your only sister" "The suspect is Brianna, your only sister"..."The suspect is Brianna, your only sister"..."The suspect is Brianna, your only sister"...Parang tila isang sirang plaka na paulit at paulit na naririnig ko sa aking tengaHindi ko alam kung ilang minuto pa ang lumipas bago ako makabawi."Paano niyo nasabing siya?" "That's what the killer told them, afraid of getting killed he speak up.""What if pini-frame up lang si Anna" I said trying to not believe them.Then suddenly the memory of that day in Gio's condo."T-thamara? P-paanong b-buh— anong.." Is she going to say paanong buhay pa ako? Parang tila pirasong nagsisimulang bumuo sa aking isipan ang lahat.Gio handed me a tablet and a video flash on the screen. I played it and the video was inside the interrogation room where a man was answering the question of a man in the background.
