Chapter 35: Kidnapped

"I was amazed as people must be who are seized and kidnapped, and who realize that in the strange world of their captors they have a value absolutely unconnected with anything they know about themselves."

    – Alice Munro, Lives of Girls and Women 

 

It's already 1 in the morning when we went home, pero hinatid muna namin si Min bago kami nakarating sa bahay. 

"I saw a man awhile ago. His mouth and nose was covered by white mask." bungad ko sa ama nang nakarating na kami sa bahay.

Dapat sana pupunta kami ngayon sa Eden pero ipagpapaliban na namin bukas. Sino ka ba talaga Voldemort? Bakit ka nagpaparamdam sa akin? Why it was just me? 

Huminto ito sa paglalakad at lumingon sa aking direksiyon, maging ang aking kapatid ay nakatingin rin sa akin. 

"Anong ginawa mo?" tugon ng aking ama. 

"Lalapit na sana ako sa kanya nang tinawag ako ni Min, at nung lumingon ako sa kanya ay bigla siyang naglaho na parang bula just like in the P. O. D Headquarters." salaysay ko. 

My Father's brow rise. 

"So it was not the first time you met that man?" maawtoridad nitong sambit. 

My eyes got widened. This was I realized that I burst that. Nasabi kong nakita ko rin sa Kyung ang lalaking iyon na kung sino man siya.

"Yes. I met him in Kyung. Nung papunta ako sa cr bigla na lang siyang lumitaw." wika ko. 

If that house was from Voldemort before, and Sir Lee was the one who sold it to my father; therefore, Voldemort and Sir Lee are related to each other. And it was also possible that my father is also related to them.

"Selene, did you see his face?" seryosong wika ng aking ama.

"Kulay brown ang kanyang mata, medyo matangos ang ilong at halos kapareha mo ng height." sagot ko.

Bakas sa mukha nito ang pagtataka.

"Bakit pa?" tanong ng aking kapatid. 

Napalingo si papa.
 
"I'm not sure. I will tell you until I found the answer." wika nito at pumasok na sa masters bedroom. 

Nagkatinginan kami ni Kuya. 

"What do you think?"

"Sa tingin ko kilala lang natin si Voldemort. Bakit alam niya kung sino ako? Bakit niya ako sinusundan? Dahil ba yun sa camera?" sagot ko.

Biglang tumayo si Kuya sa pagkakaupo nito sa sofa. 

"I also thought about that Selene, but maybe it was because of the camera." wika ng aking kapatid.

Hindi kaya narinig niya kanina na nasa dating bahay ang camera? 

"Kuya, I think Voldemort will go to our old house."

Napalingon ito sa akin. 

"Paano mo nasabi?"

"Nakaharap ko siya kanina at sa tingin ko siya ang may gawa ng ingay. It's not an accident, but it was really his intention in order to meet me." seryoso kong wika.
