"Si Raffy? I heard..."

"Yes. He was kidnapped last night and mayor Cartanega suspected your- i mean Mr. Jacinto" hinila ako ni Dash papunta sa kanya

Ang mga kamay nito ay pumalibot sa aking katawan at mahigpit akong niyakap. Ramdam ko ang kanyang takot. I hugged him back. Assuring that i will be safe. As long as he's with me.

"You don't have to worry about me, baby. Nothing bad will happen to me. Hmm?"

"Can't help it"

I smiled sadly. I promise that i won't leave his side. I promise that will be with him.

Nang oras na sa klase ko ay hinatid ako ni Dash. He stayed with me until half of my class duration before he went out to answer a call from his phone. Natapos ang klase nang hindi pa bumalik si Dash.

The professor dismissed the class at ako ang unang lumabas sa room upang hanapin si Dash. I saw him in the hallway just steps away from the room. May katawagan pa ito.

"Inform me immediately" i heard him say

"Who's that?" I called his attention

Bumaling ito sa akin at naglakad. His arm wrapped around my waist the moment he was close to me.

"Who is it?" Tanong ko ulit

"Your bodyguard"

Namilog ang aking mata. Bodyguard? Meron ako no'n? I didn't know.

"I have a bodyguard?"

"Yes, Daenah. For your safety"

Hindi ako nagsalita. As much as i don't like to have a bodyguard, kung iyon ang magpapakalma nito ay tatanggapin ko. I don't want him to worry much about my welfare. He have his own life too. He needs to take care of it. Hindi lang dapat ako ang inaalala niya.

"Anong meron?" I asked

Dash released a deep sigh.

"Therese is missing.. And one of my men recognized the car as one of Mayor Cartanega's"

"What?!" Hindi ako makapaniwala. I just saw her earlier! I... I just saw her.

"Baby..."

"Kakakita ko lang sa kanya kanina sa hallway, Dash!"

"I know... i know... i saw her too but she's missing"

No... no... this isn't happening. She can't be missing. Oo, galit ako kay Therese pero hindi pwedeng madamay ang inosenteng bata sa sinapupunan nito.

I maybe cruel but I'm not that evil. Her child is innocent. Walang alam sa nangyayari.

Lutang akong napadukot sa aking bag. Kinapa ang puting papel na napulot ko kanina. Mas lalong nadagdagan ang takot ko. Takot na hindi lang para sa akin kundi pati na rin kay Therese at sa anak nito. There's a big chance that Therese was abducted by Mayor Cartanega... for revenge.

Revenge. It is where all it starts.

Humigpit ang hawak ko sa papel na nasa loob ng bag ko. It was an utrasound result of Therese. She's pregnant and probably Raffy is the father of that baby.

Nanggigilid ang aking mga luha. Every bad things i did struck in my mind. This happens because of me. I did this. I made everyone's life in danger.

I blame Vicente for all of my misfortunes and pains but i didn't know i became one like him. Or even worse.

"Hey... Daenah"

Hindi ako makagalaw. Para akong nanigas sa aking kinatatayuan. Worst may come that innocent baby will be harm and it would be my fault.

"It's my fault..." nanghihina kong wika

Kung hindi lang sana ako nagpadala sa galit. Kung nagtiis lang sana ako kagaya ni mama.

Si mama... siguro malungkot siya ngayon dahil sa mga kagagawan ko. Siguro din ay galit siya sa akin. Lahat ng mga ginawa ko siguradong hindi siya sangayon.

"No, baby. Hindi mo kasalanan to."

"She's pregnant, Dash. Kung may mangyaring masama sa kanila..." bumuhos ang aking mga luha "Kasalanan ko"

Nanginginig ang kamay na inilabas ko sa bag ang lukot na papel. Kinakabahan kung inabot iyon kay Dash.

Nagtatakang inabot niya iyon. His eyes widen when he saw what's printed on the paper.

"She's pregnant.. if she's really missing... then it's my fault"

Mabilis niya akong itinulak papunta sa dibdib nito. Ang yakap na sobrang higpit ay sinuklian ko habang umiiyak. Wala na akong pakialam kung pinagtitigan na kami ngayon ng mga tao. I cried in his chest. Hinaplos ni Dash ang aking likod. Paminsan-munsan din na hinalikan ang aking ulo.

The baby... the innocent baby. My niece... my sister...

Fvck! What have i done?
