Dim Series: He Kidnapped Me (Axel Valeron)

Chapter 18

"YOU LIKE IT? Tito Gilbert asked when I finally wore the black dress he bought for me. I wore it along with the black pump. Now I look like a bad bitch.

"Yes! It looks so good! Lookin so savage wearing these." Umikot pa ako sa harap ng isang full body mirror. I really like it, and it's true that it looks so good.

Galit ako sakanya, but I need to act as if I'm not. I need to act as if I am the 'Father's girl' like before. I need to act as if I didn't know any of his demonic ways. I need to act as if I didn't know anything. I need to act as if I can't remember anything. I need to act as if I didn't know that he's not my father.

"Saktong sakto anak, there will be a business event na gaganapin dito sa bahay. You and your mom will come with me."

Alam ko.

"I want you to wear that ok? I want my daughter to stand out" He then smiled at me the way he smiled at me before. Alam kong matalino si tito Gilbert, but how can I easily fool him? Siguro ay wala talaga syang alam.

Or maybe, he's acting just like me?

Alam man nito o hindi ang tungkol sa sadya ko dito, itutuloy ko parin ang plano. Eto lang ang natatanging plano na hindi mapapahamak si Mommy.

"Sure Daddy, this is the best. Ofcourse I'll wear it. I want everyone to look up on me." Alam kong napakayabang ko sa part na yon pero ganon talaga ang dating Astrid. I want all of the attention. I want it all. I want it, I get it. I'm a spoiled brat. Gusto ko lahat naiinggit saakin.

Pero ngayon, wala na akong ibang gusto maliban sa mailigtas ang mommy ko. I don't want anything else. I only want my mom.

"Ok ok, I'll leave you now. Make sure to look elegant later ok? Rest for now, and show me who's Astrid Blair Collins later."

Tinanguan ko ito bago nya ako tuluyang iwan.

I quickly went to the door and locked it.

Then I lay down on my bed and smile while thinking about my plan.

It may not be perfect, but I think It'll work.

"So what's the plan?" Iris asked, looking at me.

"May magaganap na Business Event sa Bahay namin next week" Panimula ko, I calmly said that even though I'm nervous of telling her everything.

"And you will use the event to sneak out?"

Tumango tango ako sa sinabi nya.

"Alam kong magiging busy sya sa event, kaya malaki ang posibilidad na makatakas kami ng ligtas ni mommy."

"Pero delikado. Kilala mo naman siguro si tito Gilbert. Katulad nga ng sinabi mo, grabe ang pag babantay nya sa mommy mo. Hindi nya hahayaan ang event na maging dahilan o rason para luwagan nya ang pag babantay sakanya o sayo." Nag simula nang mag alala ang tono ni Iris. Pero hindi ko sya masisi. Kahit ako. Kahit ako hindi sigurado sa gagawin ko. Ang tanging nasa isip ko lang ay mailayo si mommy sa impyernong ito.

Dahil ako, kahit saglit lang naransan kong maging masaya sa piling ng lalaking mahal ko. Gusto ko si Mommy naman ang makaramdam noon.
