Prologue
"FIFTY million General Guevarra at palalayain ko ang unica hija mo." I was silently praying to God that this goons will let me go. Kanina lang nasa fieldtrip kami when someone ambush the bus and took me. I know right at this moment 'I'm being kidnapped'. Hinablot ng lalaki ang braso ko pinatayo. Hirap na hirap ako dahil nakatali ang dalawa kong kamay. I cried and pleaded countless times but they're deaf with my resentment. Inilapit ng lalaki ang cellphone sa tenga ko. ("B-baby?" ) "D-daddy! D-daddy save me please! I'm scared d-dad.." Humagulhol na ako dahil nabuhayan ako ng loob na maiiligtas ako. And it will be another kidnapping scene na maililigtas ako. Yes, this is not the first time. Pero iba ito. I feel wary. Parang may mali. ("B-baby, you stay safe okay? Daddy will save you and be a go-" ) "Tama na iyan!" Inagaw ng goon ang cellphone at inilapit sa tenga nito. "Wag kang magkakamali General. Dahil hindi ako magdadalawang isip na patayin 'tong anak mo." Binaba nito ang cellphone at lumuhod sa harap ko. Piniga niya ang pisngi ko ng mahigpit at ramdam na ramdam ko ang sakit mula doon. "Pagbabayaran ng tatay mong pakealamero ang pagpatay niya sa anak ko. Dugo sa dugo. Anak sa anak.." Nanlaki ang mata ko sa sinabi niya. I can't speak. My throat is aching dahil sa bigla niyang pagsakal sa akin. This man. He's going to kill me. ---- Nasilaw ako sa ilaw ng sasakyang nasa harap ko. Mula doon ay bumaba si Daddy bitbit ang isang attache case. Ransom.. "Akin na ang anak ko.." "Hindi ako tanga General. Ang sabi ko walang makikialam sa transaction natin.." nakangisi pero nag aapoy ang mata ng goon na nagsalit. "s**t!" Sigaw ni daddy ng tinutok ng goon sa gilid ng ulo ko ang baril na hawak niya. Kumakabog sa kaba ang dibdib ko. Am I gonna die? Mas bumuhos ang luha ko sa takot ng kakahuntangan nito. Mula sa sulok ng abandonadong hospital na kinaroroonan ko ay may lumabas na lalaki. Naka leather jacket ito at may itim na gloves ang kamay. Medyo magulo din ang buhok nito na parang hinangin at malamig ang ekspresyon ng mukha. Lumapit ito kay daddy at nagsalita. "I'm sorry General Guevarra but I can't let you do this alone." "K-kobe.." My dad look to the man with disbelief in his face. "Punyeta! Sabi ko walang dapat mangealam Dominic Guevarra!" Mula sa panig nila daddy ay may nagpaputok ng baril. Hanggang sa naramdaman ko ang unti unting pag daloy ng sakit sa binti ko. Napa luhod ako kaya nabitawan ako ng goons. "Why did you shot my daughter?! Kobe!" Isa pang putok ng baril ang narinig ko at agad na bumagsak ang goon sa tabi ko. Iyak lang ako ng iyak ng lapitan ako ni daddy at ng lalaking si kobe. "This will be the last baby.."  My dad said pagkatapos akong buhatin. Lumapit iyong kobe sa bandang binti ko at binendahan ng panyo. "Daplis lang ginawa ko diyan sweetheart Kung hindi kita binaril sa paa you will be a dead princess now and sorry General." "I'ts okay. You just ruined that man's attention." Papunta na kami ng sasakyan nang may sunod sunod na putok ang umalingawngaw. Kasunod nito ay ang pagsalo sa akin ni Kobe dahil sa biglang paghagis sa akin ni daddy. My dad turned around and spread his arms wide while this kobe guy covered me. My daddy's catching all the bullets from the man who's riding in a motorbike. My heart is thumping wildly. I'm scared as hell. Nanginginig ako sa takot at kaba. Buhay pa ba ako? Pagkatapos ng ilang minuto ay nawala na ang mga putok ng baril. Inaangat ko ang ulo ko at hinanap si daddy. Bumaba ako mula sa pagkakabuhat ni Kobe. "D-dad.." My dad looked at me. He smiled genuinely. "A-are y-you a-alright?" He asked. Bago ko pa masagot ang tanong niya ay bigla na lang siyang bumagsak. I look him with horror. His shirt is filled with blood. "Daddy!" Lumuhod si Kobe sa tabi ni daddy at nagsalita. "General hang on. Papunta na ang ambulansiya." "D-daddy please.. You can't leave me.." My dad gripped kobe's shirt. Parang sinasabi nitong lumapit sa kaniya. Nilapit naman ni kobe ang tenga niya kay daddy. My dad is whispering and I can't hear it. Nakita ko kung pa'no nag igting ang panga ni Kobe at agad na tumango. Sumulyap ito sa akin pero agad ding nagiwas ng tingin. My dad smiled and he look at me. His hands caress my cheek. "I love you Dominique my princess. Stay alive anak.. S-stay alive.." After saying those words his hand fell. "No!" Niyugyog ko ang braso niya. I want him to wake up. I want him to open his eyes. I want him to stand up and hug me. I can't lose him. I can't...
