Allexa's POV
Nagising ako nung napansin kong huminto yung sasakyan, nakatulog pala ako sa gitna nina Crystal at Etong.
"Saan na tayo?" I asked Etong, he obviously didn't sleep at all. How long have we slept? How far have we gone? I don't know. All I know is my husband and friends are left behind, we haven't got any call from them. I'm worried sick pero sabi ni Etong, konting tiis muna, kaya nagtitiis ako.
"Kahit ano'ng mangyari, huwag kang magpa-panic" he gently answered without looking at me. He looked dead serious while looking outside.
"Bakit tayo tumigil?" I asked, then napansin kong napaikutan kami ng sasakyan, "sina Bryce ba yan?" my heart thundered at the thought of my husband.
"Hindi" sagot agad ni Etong. I looked at him confusely, I tried to look outside to see who these people are.
"Lexa" tawag ni Kalbo at lumingon siya sa akin, inabutan niya ako ng maliit na knife, "Pakilabay naman ito sa bulsa mo? O kahit saan. Huwag mong wawalahin ah?" he gently said, I swear I felt how worried he is pero hindi ko rin pinahalata. I took the knife with a cover. Maliit lang yun, about 4 inches, madaling itago sa bra ko.
Hinawakan ako ni Etong sa kamay at tinignan ako ng husto, "Huwag kang matatakot, at lagi mong aalahaning buntis ka. Kahit konting stress, nararamdaman ng baby mo." he said seriously. Parang nagegets ko na kung ano ang nangyayari kaya nagsimula akong manginig sa takot, pero sinubukan ko paring kumalma para sa baby ko. I nodded. They both looked at me with a worried look.
Lumabas sina Etong at Kalbo at sinalubong yung lalakeng bumaba sa kabilang sasakyan.
"Ano'ng nangyayari?" tanong ni Crystal na kakagising, naalimpungatan agad siya nung napansin niyang napaikutan kami ng mga sasakyan, "Lexa? Sino sila?" takot na tanong niya pero nakatingin lang ako kina Etong at Kalbo na nasa labas. I slowly hid the knife inside my bra.
The guy in front of the two boys pointed a gun to Kalbo's chest and I stopped breathing.
"Oh my god!" sigaw ni Crystal na nanggising sa dalawang babaeng nasa likuran namin.
A gunshot rang around the car and I heard screams from Liezel and Kate. Kalbo fell to the ground, another gunshot. Etong fell to the ground. Pumikit ako at huminga ng ilang beses as I held my belly and said a little prayer.
Nagsigawan pa yung mga kasama kong babae sa loob, the door beside me opened at naramdaman ko ang metal na dumikit sa side ng ulo ko.
"Labas na" utos ng isang lalake.
"Huwag!" sigaw ni Crystal at hinawakan ako ng mahigpit.
"Siya lang ang kailangan namin, kaya pwede ba tumahimik na kayo?" sabi nung lalake. Kahit konti, nakaramdam ako ng ginhawa, kasi ako lang ang kukunin nila. The girls will be safe, right?
"Huwag! Lexa huwag kang bibitaw!" sigaw ni Crystal.
"Okay lang" sabi ko kay Crystal, I looked at her carefully, "okay lang" sabi ko, for an instant, I felt brave, "they won't hurt me" bulong ko, "I think they need me for a reason kaya alam kong hindi nila ako sasaktan"
"Pero Lexa—"
"The guys will find me. They always do" sabi ko't bumitaw ako sa kamay niya.
"Lexa!" iyak nung dalawa na walang magawa kundi ang umiyak.
I didn't look back, bumaba ako sa sasakyan at sinundan yung lalake. I didn't expect na andami pala nila. I saw Etong and Kalbo on the ground, napansin kong walang dugo kaya I let out a silent sigh. Nakasuot sila ng vest. Hindi ko na pinahalata na nakahinga ako ng maluwag at nagkunwari akong natatakot. I don't know what's happening, pero I got this feeling na kailangan kong sakyan ang trip nina Etong at Kalbo.
We went to a van where Uno were waiting for my arrival with a sickening smile on his face. He looked decent though. He looked like a rich spoiled kid with all his golden watch, rings and necklace. Saan naman kaya kumuha 'to ng pondo niya?
"Hi!" masaya niyang bati pero tinignan ko lang siya ng masama, "Aww, huwag kang masyadong magalit sa akin. May surpresa ako sayo." He opened the door of his van and my heart fell.
The guy inside looked at me, mirroring Uno's devilish smile, "Hi ate" bati ni Allen.
