"No! H'wag Alex! Parang-awa mo na! Nakikiusap ako! Pakawalan mo na 'ko! Palayain mo na ako! Hayaan no na akong makahinga!" "Ahhh! Fuck!" Tumilapon na lamang ako sa kama habang hawak ko ang mukha ko. Isang malakas na sampal ang natanggap ko mula sa asawa ko. Halos dumilim ang paningin ko. Para akong madismaya. My heart thuds painfully in my chest as my tears fall endlessly. Humahagulhol lamang ako sa pag-iyak. Bumubuhos ang mga luha ko. I shook my head terribly. Suddenly my eyes widened. My fears crawled on my throat. "H-Huwag Alex!" As I glowled in fear. As Alex ever did. He's a ruthless husband, a devil husband. Lagi niya akong pinapahirapan at sinasakal. I know he wants to suffer me after all. "No!" It will be worsen. It's fucking hell. Napagapang ako sa kama paatras. Nangangatog ang mga tuhod ko sa takot. I bite my nails. I'm screaming in pain. I shook my head. Everything went dark when Alex closed the door. Gusto kong sumigaw. Gusto kong humingi ng saklolo. Gusto kong tumakbo but I have nothing. Papatayin ako ni Alex kapag ginawa ko 'yon. Paparusahan niya ako. Agad akong naalarma nang makita kong papalapit sa akin si Alex. Nakahawak ito sa kaniyang sinturon. Hinuhubad niya ito mula sa kaniyang pantalon. Nanlilisik ang bawat titig niya sa akin. Kita ko ang paglagok niya. Niyakap ko na lamang ang mga tuhod ko habang nanginginig ang mga ito. Napahikbi ako sa pag-iyak. Walang boses ang lumabas sa aking bibig dahil sa sobrang takot. My lips trembled down. "You will never escaped with me Juliana. If you tried to escape with me? You will die! Hindi ka makakalabas ng buhay sa mansyong ito kapag tinangka mo 'yon! You will only serve your beauty with your master."
