❤SEVEN❤ ♛ Snow ♛
Ynia:
I felt so chilled and definitely cold. Giniginaw ako—parang tagos sa buto ang sobrang lamig. Though I felt the heavy and thick duvet that fully covered my body from my nape down to my feet—still, I felt too cold. I finally stretched my arms but I was acquainted by that familiar pain from my wound—damn! Napamulat ako sa sakit.
Where am I? Ah, oo! I’m still here in that beast’s house—napabalikwas ako ng bangon at pansin ang ibang suot ko.
I was now wearing a thick long fur collar jacket with thick socks on my feet—whoa, this is crazy! I remembered I was wearing a t-shirt last night.. Napatingin din ako sa mga sugat ko. Para ring nag-iba ang pagkakabenda naman mga yun pati na rin sa braso ko—it seemed professionaly done.
This..was not the same room last night! Nasa..kwarto niya ba ako? Nasa kwarto ako ng lalakeng iyon!? Bumangon ang kaba at inis sa dibdib ko nang maalala ko kung gaano kapanget ang ugali niya. Hmp! I step my foot and was heading now towards the closed windows where it was also covered by bushy navy blue curtain—kaya pala ang dilim sa kwarto. Hinawi ko ang malaking kurtina para makita ang nasa labas—what the?!
I-It’s..It’s snowing for Christ’s sake!
I stepped backward and was certainly startled—Jesus Christ.. K-Kailan pa ang may snow sa Pah!? But no.. Lumapit ako ulit sa bintana and wiped it to let my dumbfounded eyes clearly view the surroundings—I felt the rush of my heart’s beat. I felt..something’s not so right here!
J-Jesus! W-Where am I..?
I was looking at the whole place where I could see a vast area. I’m definitely certain—this isn’t Pah or Mt. Tahor! It’s snowing for pete’s sake! Sa ibang bansa lang may gan’tong panahon! C-Could it be..? Oh my God!
The place was incredibly vast. At the center of it was a grand fountain with a statue of a Phoenix. Mayroong ding isang malaking maze garden na napuno na ng snow—at sa bandang malayo ay isang malaking gate. Jesus, am I in a palace!?
Saka naman biglang bumukas ang pintoan saka ko nakita si nanay Belen na bakas sa mukha ang pag-aalala. Para kanino? Sino ba sila? Maingat na inilapag nito ang tray sa side table saka lalabas na sana.
“N-Nanay Belen, n-nasaan po ba ako ngayon? P-Please, gusto ko na pong umuwi.. N-Nag-aalala na sa’kin ang mga magulang at mga kapatid ko—baka kung napano na si Chada ng dahil sa’kin. I wanna go home!”
I was pleading to the old maid as tears blinded my eyes while I held her cold hand.
“Do your other chores, Belen.”
That voice! Dali-daling lumabas ng kwarto si nanay Belen na animoy pinagbabawalang magsalita at makipaghalubilo. My eyes sharpened instantly directly at his corner.
He was standing outside the opened door with both hands stirly on his side pocket pants and was radiantly wearing a woolen single breasted cardigan vest—undeniably treacherous and really dared stare at me straight to where my soul was.
This is kidnapping! Sigaw ng utak ko habang nakatingin ng matalim sa kanya. Wala siyang ipinapahayag na emosyon habang pahakbang na lumapit sa’kin. Sino siya?
“Who are you? W-Where the hell am I!? T-This is kidnapping, you beast!”
I yelled at him with no effect on him. He sneered while slowly pacing towards me. Then he stopped right in front of me, a foot away from him seemed exasperating.
“Look closely, woman and know the beast you so called.” He challenged me by almost whispering those words yet seemed like a bass drum to my ear. Napalunok ako nang titigan ko siya ng mabuti lalo na sa may bandang noo nito—
That..s-scar! Napatitig ako sa kaniyang mga mata—those pair of grayish eyes! Iisa lang naman ang taong mayroon ang mga nun..
“A-Azeil?” I finally muttered as the cold seemed getting stronger while it crawled up to my jammed brain.
Phoenix Azeil Ramirez! Is he? Seemed I completely lost my words with this scorching staring contest—at ako ang unang nagbaba ng tingin.
“W-Why are you doing this? What..happened to you? This is kidnapping, you know that!”
Finally, I composed myself back and had fired shots at him but that was too useless. The man now was fully armored! How the hell he got filthy rich? He was too pitiable before—I could still remembere those times during high school and the day his mother died—he was gone.
“Kidnapping for now, princess—yet there’s more than that later.” W-What? That was he said with much warning in his tone and turned his back. He got his swift moves as he instantly slammed the door close and locked it from the outside. Jesus, what is he doing!? What is he planning to!?
Was it really Azeil Ramirez? Ba’t niya ‘to nagawa sa’kin? Was he still seeking vengeance against my..family? Oh, Jesus!
And I don’t know where I was exactly at the moment—I need to think clear and..fast! I need to get out from his deviousness! I know him—I know his blood, his fury and wrath against us. Since day one—I knew about it though I’ve always found him pathetic and boastful. I felt pity on them and God knew that! Pero ito mismo ang parang bulag sa katotohanan.
How many times did my father and mother explicated the situation to me—I knew they were right and Azeil’s was completely brainwashed by his family. Now, he’s back.. He’s back to complete his revenge—and it’ll start with me!
No. I won’t let him!
I motivated myself as I opened wide the window. Pero pumasok lamang ang malamig na snow flakes doon at siguradong mamatay ako sa ginaw kapag tumakas man ako ngayon. Nasaang bansa niya ba dinala? Paano niya ginawa ang lahat!? Sinara ko ulit ang bintana at nahahapong bumalik sa paanan ng malaking kama.
I should not be in haste doing drastic moves—I have been too reckless with my life because of that..my friend, Chada would suffer! Siguradong sobrang galit na ni papa Blaire sa kanya ngayon---plus my monkey brothers who totally resembled their volcanic temper from my father.
I need to escape—and alive. I need to plan this whole through and study their moves—his moves to be exact. Kung ramson money lang naman ang gusto niya—my family could give that to him! But hell no—it wasn’t just like that.. Paano kung papatayin niya ako? Ah, sh**! I need to gain my strength, first and foremost. Kaya kinuha ko ang food tray at pinilit ang sarili kong kumain. Kung iniisip niyang natatakot ako sa mga banta niya—hell no, just like before Azeil..
Just like the day we first laid eyes to each other!
