CHAPTER 6

"WHY did you answer your Auntie like that, huh?! I heard you were still arguing with her" Azrael said angrily to me so I gasped because of the annoyance I was feeling.

"You don't know what I am like to my Auntie, you don't know what my story is so you don't have the right to tell me that" I said to her annoyed so I was rolled my eyes to him.

He faced the big window and looked out of it.

I can see how annoyed he is with me because of what I did to my Auntie. I can't blame my Auntie for being that way because first of all she almost killed my mom.

FLASHBACK:

Nakatutok ang baril ni Auntie kay mom. Gusto ko tumakbo patungo kay mom pero hindi ko magawa dahil hawak ako ng dalawang tauhan ni Auntie. While Mom was shaking with fear as Auntie pointed the gun at Mom.

"Auntie! that's enough! don't shoot my mom!"

I shouted so it faced me. she laughed at me while pointing her gun at me. She came to me and said.

"I didn't know there was a brave woman in our family, and you are the only one, Everlynne" Auntie said with a smile while the gun was pointed at my chin.

Patuloy pa rin ako sa pagpupumiglas dahil gusto ko na talagang sapakin ang Auntie ko dahil sa inis na nararamdaman ko.

Naglakad siya ulit papunta kay mom. She traced the gun to my mom's cheeks while she was smiling and looking at me so I felt even more angry and annoyed with my Auntie.

Auntie held mom by the neck while pointing the gun at mom's head.

"Auntie!" I screamed in panic and continued to struggle.

"Don't hurt my mom! Ako nalang ang saktan mo! Wag na si mommy!" Iyak na sabi ko at nakakaramdam na ako ng panic dahil tumatawa na si Auntie sa akin.

Nagkatinginan kami ni mom at nahihirapan na ang mom ko na huminga because she have a asthma.

Tumingin ako ng galit kay Auntie.

"Oh, what a sweet little girl, Everlynne. You want to sacrifice yourself for your mom?" Tanong niya sa akin habang nakangising tingin sa akin. Of course she is my mom, I will sacrifice myself.

"Of course, I am. My mom not like you, binigay ang anak sa iba para lang sa lalaki? Para sa kapangyarihan?" Nakangising tanong ko sa kaniya. She was angry right now because what I said.

Lumapit siya sa akin and she pulled my hair kaya napangiwi ako sa sakit.

"How dare you to say that?! Huh?!" Galit na sigaw niya at tinututok niya sa aking baril na hawak niya.

"Wala kang karapatan na sabihin sa akin yan!" She said. She was triggered.

"Why? It's true, right?" Nakangising sagot ko at sinampal ako ng aking Auntie.

"Juliet! Stop hurting my daughter!" Sigaw ni mom. Tumingin ako sa direksyon ni mom.

Bigla kaming nakarinig ng putok ng baril mula sa labas.

"Tignan niyo kung sino yon!" Utos ni Auntie sa kaniyang mga tauhan.

"Ma'am! Yung kuya niyo po at si Mr. Azrael Salvatore!" Sigaw ng isang tauhan ni Auntie. Bigla niya nabitawan ang baril na kaniyang hawak. Pinakawalan ako ng dalawang tauhan niya ng tinapik niya ito sa mga braso.

Kaagad ako tumakbo kay mom, hindi ko inintindi ang nasa paligid ko. Ang mom ko ang mahalaga.

"Mom, wake up! Mom! Please!" Nagpapanic na aking sabi ngunit dumidilim na rin ang aking paningin dahil sa hilo na aking nararamdaman.

"Mom! Dad is here, mom we are safe na" tinapik tapik ako ang pisnge ni mom pero hindi talaga nagigising

ito. Marami na rin pasa si mom dahil sa ginawa ng mga tauhan ni Auntie kay mom.

Halos patayin na nila ang mom ko. Wait for my revenge Auntie. I will torture you kagaya ng ginawa mo kay mom.

END OF FLASHBACK:

"Everlynne! Wake up! You are dreaming" lalaking gumigising sa akin. Tinignan ko ito at si Azrael lang pala.

"What's wrong?" Pag-aalalang tanong niya sa akin.

"Nothing, I just dream about my mom" sagot ko sa kaniya. Tumango lang siya sa akin at saka inilagay niya ang pagkain sa akin harapan.

"You need to eat, it's already 1pm in the afternoon" sabi niya sa akin. Tumingin ako sa orasan at totoo nga. It's already 1pm. Napahaba ata tulog ko dahil anong oras na rin kami nakauwi kagabi.

Kumain nalang ako habang siya ay focus sa kaniyang laptop. Tahimik lang kaming dalawa sa kwarto.

Bigla ako napaisip tungkol kay Amelia. How is she?

Napabuntong hininga ako dahil puupuntahan ko pa pala si Amelia ng di nalalaman ni Azrael.

Bantay sarado na ako ng mga bodyguards niya sa tuwing lalabas ako ng mansion. Hindi rin naman ako makakalabas ng hating gabi dahil may mga bantay rin sa labas. Kahit sa gate may bantay.

I need a plan para makatakas at bumalik sa umaga.

Napairap tuloy ako ng wala sa oras dahil sa inis na aking nararamdaman na naman.

Grabing apaka iritable ko talaga, hayst!

Tumingin ako sa kaniya direksyon. He wears glasses and it suits him. I didn't know that I was staring at him for so long, I kept falling more and more even though I knew he wouldn't fall for me.

"Why are you looking?" he asked me and removed his glasses.

"H-huh? no ah! is it bad?" I sneered at him and he chuckles.

"No, I thought you are interested to sit next to me" I raised my eyebrows because of what he said.

I didn't answer him and our conversation might end in irritation.

But.. he is handsome when he is wearing his glasses.
