Chapter 9

“This is fully tinted but for sure he’ll recognize my car so I’ll just drive you somewhere.”

Tumango na lang ako.

“thanks”

He brought me to his car and given me first aid. Iuuwi niya na sana ako but I told him not to send me off. I really don’t want to go home. Lalo na may sugat ako ngayon. They’ll just ask me questions and for sure they’re mad. Ito ang unang beses na nawala ako sa bahay.

Bumaling ako sa kasama ko. His eyes where focus on the road. Sa lahat ng taong pwede mapunta at makita ako ay siya pa talaga. I shouldn’t be with him because he is a Trevino also. It’s possible he has the same intention too. We know blood is thicker than water.

“bakit ka pala nandoon?” I suddenly asked.

I know It’s so wrong to viewed a person to such unjust way. But We  met twice in the forest and It frighten me to think that someone was with me every time I’d be there. He is not an exception. At kinikilabutan ako kapag ganon. Bukod sa pagpapakilala niya na kapatid siya ni Clave ay wala na akong alam sa kanya, kahit mismong pangalan niya ay hindi ko alam.

“I was looking for my brother.” He calmly said while still driving.

“but before I could find him, I found you. You look weary so I carry you.”

His eyes were illuminated by the lights when he looked at me.

Nag-taas ako ng kilay sa kanya.

He’s masculine like Clave and I can smell his virile scent from here. They’re almost look a like, it’s just the hairstyle differs everything. And of course his expression. Unlike Clave who’s unassuming, ang lalaking to sinisigaw ang pagiging mayabang.
Malabo din siyang basahin. Compare to Clave. But this man, I don’t feel good about him. Strange, actually. Wala lang talaga akong choice kundi sumama sa kanya sa ngayon.

I can’t say this is kidnapping. I willingly go with him. Kahit basta niya na lang akong binuhat kanina. As long as he did not do something against my will, I’m good. But I can’t let my guard down.

Not now that his brother did something personal to us.

“Quit staring. I don’t feel sorry. You should be grateful that I found you.”
He grinned.

I rolled my eyes.

I’m wrong. They’re both the same.
They have this substance name conceit in their body. Medyo nasobrahan lang sa lalaking to. I’m now convince na buhok lang ang kinaiba nilang dalawa ni Clave.
Humalukipkip na lang ako. I don’t want to tolerate my thoughts anymore. I’m so exhausted. Ngayon ko lang naramdaman ang antok ko. But I don’t want to sleep with a stranger beside me.

Matunog akong humikab at sinandal
na lang ang ulo sa headrest ng upuan. My head was a bit spinning. Inayos ko din yung cardigan na suot ko dahil sa lamig ng air con ng kotse.

Tingin ko napansin niya ang panginginig ko kaya pinatay niya ang aircon. Thanks.

“You’re welcome.”

Tss.

I don’t know where we are heading. Pero mukhang di pa naman malayo sa bahay namin to. Hindi pa naman isang oras noong umalis kami.

Nadaanan namin ang isang tulay. It was rusty. Bago to sa paningin ko. Naiwan parin ang tingin ko sa tulay kahit na nakalagpas na kami. I notice the streams below that somewhat connected to the forest’s river.

I roam around, this path is unfamiliar. Puro mga pine trees ang nakapalibot sa amin. Nang nasa dulo na kami bigla niya na lang tinigil ang sasakyan. I unbuckled my seatbelts as I looked at him.
