Synchronized Heartbeats

Chapter 7

Natazha

I feel like someone's following me here in the parking lot, so I breathe in and out slowly trying to calm myself. I'm not wrong, someone suddenly hugged me with force from behind. I'm right in front of my car that's why I got the chance to step on the bumper then pushed myself up as hard as I could kaya natumba kami nung kidnapper. I stood up immediately to run inside my car but another kidnapper appeared then grabbed my left arm.

"LET ME GO!" I yelled at him. Dumb right? Kailan pa ba pinakawalan ng kidnapper ang kikidnappin niya?

Humigpit lalo yung hawak niya sa braso ko. I kicked his right knee, lumuwag yung pagkakahawak niya sa braso ko kaya agad kong naalis. To make sure na hindi niya ako masusundan, I punched his abdomen two times then left side of his jaw kaya napatumba na siya. I stepped on his right knee.

"Damn it Tazha..." He groaned while caressing his jaw.

"Ouch! Ikaw naman kasi eh!" Sigaw nung isang kidnapper sa kasama niya.

Parang familiar boses nila.

"Who are you!?"

They both took a deep breath then removed their face mask bonnet.

"Xeb!? Milo!? What the fvck are you doing!?" I yelled.

"S-stop yelling. Ang hirap mo naman i-surprise, nananakit ka." Xebi said.

"Wow. Parang kasalanan ko pa na yung surprise mo ikakamatay ko."

"Kami nga ni Milo yung muntik ng mamatay eh. Tignan mo nga..." He pointed at his jaw, may pasa.

"Sinabi ko naman sayo na ayaw ko ng surprise diba? Hindi mo ako kinausap all day, tapos bigla kang susulpot trying to kidnap me."

"Alright, I'm sorry..."

I didn't answer, I just glared at him.

"I'm sorry Tazha..." He looked at me in the eye. I took a deep breath.

"Alright, come here, I'll bring you to the hospital." I helped him up.

"Me too. My back hurts..." Said Milo.

"Di na kailangan, doon na lang sa unit ko..." Sabi ni Xebi.

"What!? Ang sakit nga ng likod ko Xebiiii!" Reklamo ni Milo.

"Sus mawawala rin yan." Pinanlakihan siya ng mata ni Xebi.

"Okay fine!" Then Milo looked at me. "You're such a bitch, you hurt me." He glared at me,

"You tried to kidnap me bitch." I also glared at him.

"It's your boyfriend's fault. Bahala na nga kayong dalawa diyan!" Milo acted like he flipped his hair then walk back to his car, just three cars away from mine.

"It really is your fault." I told Xebi when we're already in my car.

"Sorry na nga..."

"Mamaya may guard o ibang tao pa makakita sa inyo, nabugbog pa kayo..."

"Naisip namin yun, nagpaalam na kami sa guard. Pero nabugbog pa rin kami." I just chuckled then drive straight to his condo.

When we entered his unit, may pasurprise nga ang loko. There's chocolate cake, a box of pepperoni pizza, lots of potato fries and a bouquet of mixed white and red roses. Nakaupo rin sa ibabaw ng table si Judy, sa akin kasi napunta si Nick. A tear dropped from my right eye, it's tears of joy of course. May nabasa kasi ako na when a person cries and first drop came from the right eye, it's happiness, but when the first drop came from the left eye, it's pain.
