Destinesia

Chapter 50

Lea

"You need some sleep, Muhlach." I said while glaring at Aga who's now sitting at the edge of our bed, busy facing his laptop, wide awake at around 2:00 in the morning.

Kung hindi lang siguro ako nakaramdam ng uhaw, 'di ko malalaman na hanggang ngayon, gising pa 'rin ang isang 'to.

"I need to finish this babes." sagot niya without looking at me, bumuntong hininga na lang ako at dahan-dahang tumayo mula sa pagkahiga, he's stubborn and I know,. kahit na anong sabihin ko sa kanya, 'di siya makikinig so let him be.

Work persists added by the fact na Sofia's still missing. It has been two days at wala pa 'ring balita, the police officers are doing their job but there is no single recovery about the case.

Aga's furious about it but he kept calm, trying to keep his nervousness away pero kilala ko siya, he can't hide his emotions from me. I know he's damn worried about Sofia and even me, nagaalala 'rin ako sa kanya.

Kung kidnapping 'to, the kidnappers could've ask for ransom but as far as I know, wala namang tumatawag kay Aga o kahit kay Krystel man lang. Probably, Sofia's somewhere else. Tumakas? Who knows?

"Saan ka pupunta?" Aga asked me nang mapansin niyang tumayo ako.

"Kusina, I'm thirsty." sagot ko at diretsong lumabas ng kwarto namin, without looking back.

I was greeted by complete darkness nang makalabas ako kaya kaagad ko namang kinapakapa ang dingding to find the switch and when I found it, I immediately turned it on.

Bumaba ako as I went to the kitchen, kaagad kong binuksan ang ref at kumuha ng bottled water. I'm too lazy to get myself a glass so this one's better.

I opened the lid at kaagad na uminom, sumandal ako sa counter as I closed my eyes, inaantok pa ako..

*BBLLAAGG*

Kaagad akong napamulat when I heard that noise, parang may nabasag na ewan. My heartbeat started to pound really fast at kahit malamig ang panahon ngayon, pinag-papawisan na 'rin ako.

That noise came from the front door, if I'm not mistaken. Matatakutin ako so this one would be a challenge for me, I can ran my away upstairs but then, that would be dangerous.

I heaved a deep breath at dahan-dahang naglakad palabas ng kusina, maybe the thing that cause that noise earlier was just a cat. Who knows?

Before I can go any farther, may naramdaman akong kamay na tumakip sa bibig ko as slowly, my visions are getting blurry and everything turned pitch black.

-

I woke up feeling a little dizzy, agad na kumabog ang dibdib ko nang mapagtanto kong I'm inside an abandoned building. Am I kidnapped by someone?

Yumuko ako at kaagad na nakahinga ng maluwag nang mapagtanto kong 'di naman nakatali ang kamay ko o 'di kaya ang mga paa ko.

I'm inside an empty room, there's a door at the corner but I'm pretty sure it's locked because of the chains hanging at the knob at wala ring ni isang bintana dito ngayon.

Trapped and abducted. Ang tanong; sino ang gumawa nito?

I tried to stand up using all the remaining force that I have at buti na lang, nakaya ko pa. I roamed around the place at literal na nanlaki ang mga mata ko upon seeing the wall right behind me, full of Aga's pictures.

Stolen, candid, photoshoots, name it. Sa dinami-dami ng mga litratong nakadikit, I don't think I can count all of them by just merely looking at it. This is.. insane.
