Surrender Your Heart

Chapter 18

JADE.

Ipinagpatuloy na namin ang pagkain at sinubuan niya ako. We talk about a lot of stuffs and of course ikwinento din niya sa akin ang lahat ng ginawa niya sa New York nang mga panahon na iniwan niya ako.

"Ihahatid na kita pauwi." Sabi niya pero pinigilan ko siya. "No. You stay right here. May trabaho ka pa hindi ba? I'm with the bodyguards honey, don't worry." I smiled at her and give her a thumbs up. "Fine. Ihahatid lang kita hanggang sa parking lot." I nodded and kissed her cheeks. Siya na ang nagdala ng bag na hawak ko kanina.

"Lock the gate and the door as soon as you arrived. Call me if you need anything." Hindi ko mapigilan ang pagngiti ko sa mga bilin niya. "I'm serious Jade." I chuckled on her remark and flick her forehead.

"What was that for?" She asked while rubbing her forehead. I remove her hand and kissed her forehead. "Yes master." I winked and she smiled. Pinagbuksan niya ako kaya pumasok na ako sa loob.

I waved goodbye before she closes the car door. Nakalayo na kami nanv may naalala ako, kinuha ko ang phone ko at tinawagan si Hera. Nakalimutan kong magpabili ng ice cream sakanya.

"Yes honey? You just left the building? May problema ba?" Tanong nito

"Buy me some ice cream when you get--" I was startled when the driver suddenly stop the car. Muntik na akong mapasubsob at mabitawan ang phone ko. "Jade? Anong nangyayari!? Nasaan kayo!?" Hindi ako makapagsalita nang biglang nakarinig ako ng putok ng baril.

"FVCK!" I heard Hera's voice but my body is trembling in fear. The door suddenly opened and someone pointed the gun at me. "JADE! TELL ME WHERE THE FVCK ARE YOU!? DAMMIT!" Iyon ang huling bagay na narinig ko bago magdilim ang paningin ko.

HERA.

"Calm the fvck down Hera!" Hindi ako mapakali na nasa loob ng sasakyan, we track down my wife's phone and HELL YES! SHE'S MY WIFE! She will still be my Mrs. Tan and I will kill those bastards who took my wife!

"Dammit! My wife is in danger how can I fvcking calm down!?" Isang malakas na sampal ang ibinigay ni Sabrina kaya napanganga ang dalawa at ako naman ay gulat na gulat sa ginawa niya. "You dumbass! We will save Jade, marry her first before screaming like an idiot that she's your wife!" I glared at her.

"Jade might be scared but she's a strong woman Hera." Isang malalim na buntong-hininga ang pinakawalan ko. Naabutan namin ang mga walang malay na bodyguards ni Jade, tinulungan sila ng mga kasama namin at may iniabot sa amin ang isang pulis na puting papel na nakatupi.

'I have your wife. Come and see me alone Hera or I'll kill her, sigurado akong hindi na ulit siya mabubuhay pa." I clenched my fist in anger. "Hera, wag ka munang magpapadalos-dalos. Tandaan mo, hindi lg buhay ni Jade ang mawawala kundi pati ang sayo kung nagpadalos-dalos ka." Napapikit ako at nakaramdam ng sakit sa puso ko.

"Sabrina, bakit ba nauulit na naman ang nakaraan? Bakit si Jade ulit ang kailangang magdusa na naman?" I cried on her shoulders and she pat my back. "Mali ka Hera. Nandito ka na ngayon para iligtas siya. You need to be at your best stte Hera. You won't do the same mistake you did before." Napatingin ako kay Kyla na nakangiti sa akin.

"And this time? We got your back. Hindi din kami papayag na maulit na naman ang nangyari noon." Ngumisi si Rose kaya pinunasan ko ang mga luha ko, tama sila. I shouldn't be sulking here and save my wife. Biglang nag-rin ang phone ko kaya agad ko iyong kinapa sa bulsa ko at sinagot agad and tawag nang hindi tinitignan ang caller.

"Hello? Who's this?" My voice is irritated. "Hello there my love." This voice. I gritted my teeth and my my fist clenched in anger. "Maxene! Nasaan si Jade! I know you have her, ilabas mo si Jade!" Nang kumunot ang mga noo nila ay ni-loudspeaker ko ang call para marinig nila.

"Si Jade? Oh right!" She laugh like a psychopath. "That b***h is sleeping, I think she passed out? Anyway! If you want to get her back then come to the address that I will text you. Do not ever try to call the police and even your friends. Tandaan mo Hera, kapag nalaman kong niloko mo ako ay hindi ako mgdadalawang isip na patayin si Jade." She ended the call, my hands are trembling from anger. I can't believe I let it happen again! I was about to go to the car when Sabrina grab my arm.

"Hera, alam kong matalino kang tao kaya wag kang pupunta doon ng walang kaplano-plano. Kilala mo si Maxene, matuto kana sa nangyari noon Hera." Seryosong sabi nya kaya napapikit ako.

Hindi ko na alam ang gagawin ko! "You're dealing with a psychopath here, you're risking Jade's life more." Sabi ni Rose kaya napahilamos ako sa mukha ko. "Then please tell me what should I do!" I said. Lumapit sa akin si Kyla at ngumiti.

"We're good in sneaking. That's our talent you have us. We'll do this together Hera laban din namin ang laban mo." Sabi ni Kyla, nakangiti na din ang dalawa kaya kahit papano ay nakampante ako dahil alam kong hindi ako iiwan ng mga kaibigan ko.

Gaya ng sabi ni Maxene ay saktong ala una ng madaling araw ay nasa address nako na tinext niya. I am alone but everyone is on standby, those three ladies will be my back up. Kinapkapan muna ako ng mga bantay niya sa malaking gate na nasa harap ko bago ako papasukin. May nakabantay parin sa akin bilang guide kung saan ako tutungo. My footsteps are getting heavy, my heart is pounding so fast because of the tension and nervousness.

Tumigil kami sa tapat ng isang malaking pinto at binuksan iyon ng mga tauhan ni Maxene. Bumungad sa akin ang amoy ng usok galing sa sigarilyo, nagkalat din ang mga bote ng alak at ang nakangiting mukha ni Maxene.

"Hera!" Agad kong nilingon ang pinanggalingan ng boses na iyon. My heart broke when my eyes landed on the love of my life.

"Jade!" I was about to run to her when two of her men blocked the way. Jade was chained and bleeding on the corner of the room. She's crying too much and she's trying to crawl to me because of her chained feet too.

"Pakawalan mo na siya Maxene! I'm already here what else do you want!?" Isang malawak na ngiti ang ibinigay niya sa akin.

"Tie her hands." Utos niya at agad akong nilapitan nang isang tauhan niya para itali ang mga kamay ko. I wasn't really listening to Maxene because i'm damn worried about my Jade! My heart is clenching at her sight I know she's begging but I can't do anything. I can't yet! Damn it!

Ipinaupo ako ni Maxene sa sofa na inuupuan niya kanina at kinuha ang isang latigo na hindi ko napansin na nakalagay pala doon kanina. She smirked and seated beside me. She crossed her legs and look at Jade who is now trembling. I badly want to run and comfort her but I can't yet! Sabrina! Please bilisan niyo!

"I can't believe na pagkatapos ng lahat ng pagpaphirap namin sayo noon buhay ka parin!" Now everything's clear to me now. Maxene is insane and she really is the reason why Jade suffered before!

"Wala kang awa! Alam mo ba kung anong pinagdaanan ni Jade dahil sa kabaliwan mo!?" I shouted at her, she deserves to die! "Am I late?" Mas naramdaman ko ang pagsidhi ng galit sa puso ko. This people will taste my wrath! I'll make sure that they will die in my hands!

"Oh tignan mo nga naman! The great Hera Tan! And also, the love of my life!" Jason! f**k this two insane people!

"DON'T FVCKING TOUCH HER YOU DEMON!" I shouted which caused him to look at me with anger on his eyes.

"SA TINGIN MO MAILILIGTAS MO SI JADE!? INIWAN MO SIYA! MERON NAMAN AKO PARA IPARAMDAM SAKANYA ANG TOTOONG PAGMAMAHAL PERO IKAW ANG PINILI NIYA!" He suddenly punched me kaya nawalan ako ng balanse at napahiga sa sahig.

"s**t!" I cursed when I tasted the blood on my mouth. "Hey! Don't kill her okay? Magpapakasal pa kami!" Maxene giggled which made me cringe!

"I put the mark on her tummy to get rid of your kid! Ako lang ang pwedeng maging ama ng mga anak ni Jade kaya naman ni-rape ko siya!" Biglang siyang tumawa na parang nababaliw. Tinignan niya si Jade na ngayon ay katabi na ni Maxene at pinapasadahan ng kutsilyo ang leeg. I tightened my grip because of the rage that i'm feeling right now.

"Ganyan ba ang depinasyon mo ng pagmamahal? Kung totoong pagmamahal ang nararamdaman mo para kay Jade ay magiging masaya ka para sakanya!" Jason look at me with disbelief.

"Hindi ako tanga para gawin ang bagay na 'yan Hera. Sa akin lang si Jade at kahit kailan ay hinding-hindi siya magiging sayo!" I'm silently praying that Sabrina will come here already. I can't bare to see Jade being so helpless in front of me. It's killing me!

"Kung hindi siya magiging akin ay walang ibang pwedeng magmay-ari sakanya." Ngumisi siya ng malademonyo sa akin. "Baliw kana Jason!" Isang malakas na sampal ang pinakawalan niya at bahagyang tumagilid ang mukha ko. Ramdam ko ang pamamanhid ng pisngi ko.

"Hey Jason don't do that to my future wife. You can have Jade and I'll have my Hera." Maxene let out a very creepy smile and walk towards me.

"Hrmmmm! Arghhhhh!" Jade is trying hard to break free but I look at her with a convincing look.

You have to trust me on this one Jade. I need you to trust me.

I'm praying to God that I hope Jade understood what I want to say to her and I was relieved when she slowly nodded and started to calm down. Bumalik ang tingin ko kay Jason na ngayon ay kaharap na ni Maxene at mukhang may pinag-uusapan silang seryoso.

We'll get out of here Jade. I promise you, magpapakasal pa tayo at bubuo ng pamilya kaya iaalis kita dito. You deserve to be happy and these two person deserves to go to hell.

"Hera! This is Sabrina. I guess we already heard enough. We're coming to get you! Just hold on a little longer, this will end tonight."

I felt relieved when I heard Sabrina on the small earpiece she gave me. It was so little that you won't notice it unless tititigan mo ng mabuti and thanks to my long hair, I can be able to hide it at dahil na din sa katangahan ng mga tauhan nila ay hindi nila ako chineck ng maayos.
