"Ano ba?!, bitiwan niyo nga 'ko!!, Ano ba?!!." Pagpupumiglas ko.

Huminto na 'yung sasakyan na gamit namin.

"I can't see!!." Because they put a scarf in my eyes.

They are grabbing me, Wala akong kalaban-laban sa kanila.

"Ayan na, Hayaan niyo siya dyan." Narinig kong sabi nila.

"Nasa'n ako???, where am i???." Pagwawala ko dito sa loob.

"Ang ingay mo!." Sabay na tinanggal ng lalaki ang panyo na nasa mata ko.

Nasa kwarto na kami?.

"Please, maawa kayo. Anong kailangan niyo???."

I don't know what to do, all the scared is on my whole body.

The moment of silence, sabay-sabay kaming tumingin sa pinto kung saan may pumasok.

And it's Jake??,

"Jake?." My low voice.

"Irene." His voice.

"Leave us alone here, all of you get out." Jake said and they all leave.

"Jake...Jake ano 'to?." I asked him gently ng kaming dalawa nalang ang matira dito.

"Tama nga..Andito ka na ulit sa pilipinas." He said.

"Don't worry Irene, I just want to talk with you lang." Dagdag pa niya.

"Y-you can talk to me naman without doing this?, right?..J-just tell me---."

"Long time no see." He cut me off.

"Where have you been, Irene." He said.

Umaatras ako ng dahan-dahan dahil palapit siya ng palapit sa'kin.

What's happening to him.

"This is all a misunderstanding, please don't do this." I said trying to calm.

Nakahinga ako ng maluwag ng may kumatok ulit sa labas.

"What???." Jake asked the person who's knocking.

"Boss, Nagri-ring po ang cellphone niyo." Sabi nung nasa labas at sumunod si Jake doon.

I'm trying my best to get out of this place.

My phone, i check it fast.

It's already 8pm??!.

Nanginginig akong naghahanap kung sino ang pwedeng mahingian ng tulong.

I can't believe na magagawa 'to ni Jake.

I'm calling ate pero hindi nasagot, nagriring lang.

"come on,come on...Please ate answer me...." natataranta kong sabi.

"Shaina..Shaina help!!, Shaina i was kidnapped.." Pagmamadali ko ng sumagot si Shaina.

"What??, girl i can't hear you so well. Repeat." Shaina said.

Nahirapan ako because there's no cignal here.

"Shaina, Si Jake please nakidnap----."

"Stop it, Irene." Inagaw ni Jake ang cellphone ko.

"Jake please, I'm scared why are you doing this???." I asked him.

Gusto ko ng umuwi sa amin, natatakot ako sa kaniya.

"Don't be scared...I'm your boss right?." He asked.

"N-no, nag-resign ako---."

"Pumayag ba 'ko?." putol niya sa sinabi ko.
