Chapter 51

Freya's POV

My heart pounded with the residual adrenaline from our stolen moment in the car as Kayla and I rushed home. The air between us was charged with the intensity of our encounter. Aaminin ko medyo nabawasan yung lungkot na nadarama ko. Pero nang malapit na kami sa bahay, nakaramdam ako ng kaba sa natanaw ko.

The lights of police cars flickered ominously, casting a surreal glow on the familiar facade of our home. Panic surged through my veins as I saw officers surrounding my mother, her face marked with visible signs of distress and injury. Yung injury nito sa leeg ay hindi pa rin gumagaling, kahit nga yung kay manang.

Kaya ng ihinto ni Kayla ang sasakyan ay dali dali kaming bumaba, habang nakikita ko na nakaposas na ang aking mommy.

"WHAT THE HELL?! Let go of my mum! Ano ba!" I shouted, the words leaving my lips in a desperate plea. Kayla stood beside me, equally shocked. Pinalilibutan kami ng police, at pati nga yung ilang kapit bahay ay nakikitingin na rin.

Amidst the chaos, my lolo emerged, his face contorted with anger. Kinagulat ko nandito siya. Anong ginagawa niya rito?

He seemed like a storm about to unleash its fury, kitang kita ko ang panlilisik ng mga mata nito.

In the midst of it all, he grabbed me by the arm, his grip unyielding, pulling me towards his car.

I fought against his hold, my voice lost in the cacophony of emotions. Tears blurred my vision as I locked eyes with Kayla, her expression mirroring the disbelief and sorrow that twisted my own features.

"Freya!" Kayla's desperate yell rang in my ears, "sir, bitawan mo siya!"

"'Wag kang makialam dito! Kabit ka lang ng apo ko! You are nothing, useless young woman!" sigaw nito kay Kayla na kinagalit ko. Wala siyang karapatan akusahan ito ng kung anu ano.

Hindi na rin ako nagulat na may alam siya sa relasyon namin, after I called off the engagement hindi na niya ko tinigilan.

Pero matigas ang lolo ko, kahit na pinipigilan ito ni Kayla. Hinatak ako nito at pilit na pinasok sa loob ng van.

I was forced into it, the door slamming shut behind me with a finality. Pressing my face against the window, I watched helplessly as Kayla cry while trying to approach the van pero pinipigilan ito ng mga bodyguards ni dad. My mom was also crying habang isinasakay ito sa police car.

I can't help but sob uncontrollably! Mukhang alam ko na ang pinaplano ni lolo. Hindi 'to maaari! I can't let this bastard manipulate my life again!

"Please, lo. Don't do this." Naiiyak na pakiusap ko rito, habang ito ay walang kaemo emosyon na nakatingin lang sa akin. Nakakatakot, he's powerful, I know. Pero gusto ko pa rin lumaban.

The van pulled away, separating me from them, from the women I love, my mommy and my girlfriend Kayla.

As the distance grew, despair settled in my chest, a heavy weight that eclipsed the passionate moments of the car, leaving me alone with the shattered pieces of my world.

..


"Chief Justice Davila, how are you, compadre? Yes, yes! Alam ko naman na hindi mo 'ko bibiguin. Sige, adios!"

Narinig kong kausap ni lolo, sinugod ko ito sa office nito sa mansion. Isang linggo na akong nakakulong dito sa mansion na ito.

Hindi ko nakakausap si Kayla dahil na rin sa mga banta nito pero hindi ako makapaniwala ng may makita akong viral video kanina. Si tita Karmina ay nadamay rin sa galit niya. Hindi na siya naawa, kahit si mom, hindi pa rin pinapakawalan ng mga police dahil sa kagagawan niya.
