Kimberly's POV
I felt sore all over my body . Hindi pa rin nawala ang sakit sa buo Kong katawan , bagama't ang aking lagnat ay humupa na bago pa man sumapit ang hapon .
Salamat sa pag-alaga ng butihin na si Aling Martha . Siguro , kaya ako nilalagnat dahil sa panghahalay na ginawa sa akin ng hayop na Charles na iyon, hindi ako nilagnat dahil sa infection , napagod lang ako at na trauma dahil sa pwersahan niyang panggahasa sa akin .
Nag-uunahan ang luha sa aking mata . The case of Leah yesterday sealed my fate . I had to pay such an immense price for what they believed was my brother's crime .
I shook my head as the events of yesterday's scene flash back again . In just a wink of an eye , I lost everything .
I lost my parents , they were held captive . I lost my brother , he was missing and was the primary suspect of his girlfriend's case.
I lost my freedom as I was forced to marry the man responsible for my agony . And I lost my virginity , which I preserve for the man who will love me in the future and whom I will be loving back .
I am now a prisoner and a wife of my brother's enemy .
I wiped my tears and decided to wash myself . Muli akong nagpalit ng damit ng maramdaman kong nabasa na naman ako ng pawis.
Maraming binigay na damit sa Akin si Aling Martha . I thought these clothes were from Leah . As I checked myself in the vanity mirror , I sighed in frustration .
This is not the girl I portray myself from yesterday after school . Ang inisip ko ay Isang senior high school graduating student na masaya dahil malapit ng mag college .
Pero sa Isang iglap lang ay nagbago ang lahat. I was thinking of calling my friend Eva . Kakausapin ko siya tungkol sa aming paaralan . Ipakisuyo ko sa kaniya na maabisuhan Niya ang aming guro tungkol sa akin .
An idea occurred to me. Kapag nalaman nila ang nangyari sa akin ay maari silang tumawag ng pulis. At kapag may pulis na involve , maari na akong makaalis sa lugar na ito .
I heard a knock on the door . " Come in .."
"Kamusta na ang pakiramdam mo, Iha ?"
"Mabuti na po , maraming salamat po sa pag-alaga ninyo sa akin , Aling Martha."
Nahihiya kong Sabi sa kaniya .
" Kung hindi dahil sa Inyo , baka lumala ang lagnat ko . "
" Walang anuman iha, basta Kong ano man ang Kailangan mo , na makatulong Ako .at kaya kong ibigay . Gagawin ko ." Magiliw na sabi ng matanda . I know helping me escape is not an option .
" Maari po bang makagamit sa iyong cellphone Aling Martha ?" I am hoping na Isa si Aling Martha sa mga nanay o lola na gumagamit ng cellphone .
Sinulyapan ko si Aling Martha , mukha siyang nag-iisip
" Tatawagan ko lamang po ang aking kaibigan . Gusto Kong itanong ang sitwasyon sa school namin Aling Martha . You see , I'm a graduating grade 12 student."
Dinukot ni Aling Martha ang cellphone sa kaniyang bulsa at nagsalita .
" Sure, mahalaga ang cellphone , dito kami sa cellphone na ito nag-uusap ng aking anak at apo ." Sabi ni aling Martha. I thought it was her way of saying to take care of it .
" Huwag po kayong mag-alala Aling Martha . Okay lang sa akin kung makinig ka sa aming usapan." I told her .
" No , no bibigyan kita ng privacy . Balikan na lamang kita mamaya." She said . Kinuha Niya ang tray ng pagkain na dinala Niya kanina at lumabas .
I immediately dial Eva's number , pero hindi Niya sinasagot ang tawag ko. Sinubukan Kong mag dial muli , still hindi Niya sinasagot .
I was thinking , maybe because she doesn't know it was me , unknown number ang lalabas sa kaniya .
I decided to send her a message to let her know , I am the one calling her and then I dialed her again .
This time , she picked up .
"Hello .." Eva said .
" Eva , thank God at sumagot ka..
Katahimikan .
"Hello Eva , are you still there ?" Matagal bago siya sumagot .
"Yes ...what do you want ..?" Malamig na sabi niya .
Natigilan ako , sandali na nag-isip . What happened to her ? Hindi naman ganito ang Eva na kilala ko . Masayahin at magiliw itong kausap lalo na kapag ako ang kausap .
"Are ..you okay ? " Hindi kaagad siya sumagot .
"Eva , please. ..gusto lang naman kitang makausap, may itatanong ako sa iyo ukol sa school..."
"Gaya pa rin ng dati , nasa paaralan k@mi at .." tumigil siya .
"Pasensya ka na Kim..ayokong madamay ang pamilya ko sa sa nangyayari sa iyo , pasensya ka na." Eva seems to be crying.
"Ayaw nila na kausapin ka ..I mean , please understand . Goodbye ." I was shocked . She seems terrified .
"Wait please , wait .. tell me what happened there ? Ano bang alam mo..?"
" Ang IYONG kuya ay kriminal sabi nila. Ang bahay ninyo, maraming mga goons na labas masok - naghihintay sa pag-uwi ng iyong kuya . I'm sorry Kim . They don't want me to communicate with you ."
Click!
The line went dead . Sino ang tinutukoy ni Eva na mga tao na nagbabawal sa kaniya na kausapin ako ? Was it the school staff? Her family ? Or was it him, Charles . Naniwala ba sila na ginawa ni kuya ang krimen na iyon? Hindi pa rin pala tinatantanan ng tauhan ni Charles ang bahay namin .
Lalo aking nanlumo sa kalagayan ko , there is no help at all . Ito na nga ba ang kapalaran ko? Ang manatiling makulong sa mansion na ito habang buhay ?
Hanggat hindi makikita si kuya ko . I silently sob .
I heard the door open without glancing from Aling Martha's direction I said.
" Maraming salamat Aling Martha sa pagpahiram ng iyong cellphone ." I sadly said .she didn't reply .
" Hindi ko maintindihan bakit parang takot na takot ang kaibigan ko na kausapin ako ..." Patuloy Kong sabi .
Aling Martha didn't reply so I turned around to face at the door . I was shocked to see him standing on the door .
Mula sa pagkaupo sa gilid ng kama ,agad akong tumayo and by doing so , nahulog ang towel na ginamit ko na pambalot sa aking katawan , kalalabas ko lang mula sa banyo .
I was so terrified when he walked towards me . I saw his eyes lit up when I immediately covered my breasts using both my hands . Good thing I was already wearing my underwear .
He smirked ," What are you afraid of , I already saw that .." I gasped when he reached for my hands .
Kinuha Niya ang dalawang kamay ko na nakatabon sa dalawang s**o ko .
" Please .." I begin to tremble .
" Don't !" He said sharply when I tried again to cover my breasts with my hands .
Napasinghap ako ng ang kaniyang kamay ay inilagay Niya sa gitna ng dalawang bundok ko . Dahan-dahan niyang ginalaw ang kaniyang daliri sa aking s**o . His finger is making a circular motion around my right breast.
I gulped when he played my n****e, encircling his finger above it . Uminit ang aking katawan, why the hell my body reacted to his touch, when I hated this man so much?
He leaned closer to me . Nakita ko ang pagbabago ng expression ng kaniyang mata . He swallowed hard when he felt how my body reacted to his touch . Para naman akong nahimasmasan .
I shifted my body away from him and immediately picked up the towel on the floor and hastily cover my body .I couldn't give in to my dignity. To my captive. I heard him laugh .
" Do you really think that little towel is enough to protect your body from me , little wife .?"
A cold run down to my body as he uttered the words . I'm his wife ? Little wife .
With one swift motion , he gathered me to his body .
" Who are you talking too?!" Mariin niyang tanong . He cupped my chin . " Look at me ! When I'm talking to. you , look straight into my eyes." He ordered .
"I hate liars , I hate being lied to and I have no patience waiting for a long reply . Kaya kung ayaw mong masaktan..." He squeezed my chin .
I wince in pain .
" My classmate, I was talking to her." i stuttered .
" Sinong classmate mo ? "
"Eva , Eva Mendiola."
"Anong pinag- uusapan ninyo ."
Umiling ako. " Nothing. I'm just asking about my classes .." iniwas ko ang aking paningin sa kaniya dahil nagbabanta na naman ang mga luha sa aking mata .
"What else .."
"Nothing.." he was silent and then he released me from his grip .
" Lay on your back ." He softly said .
"No!"
Humigpit ang hawak ko sa tuwalya sa aking katawan .
He followed my hand and snatched away the towel. My eyes widened when he threw it on the far side of the room .
"Don't make me repeat myself ." He said coldly .
Gathering all my strength , I do as instructed .
" Good girl .." he smirked . I closed my eyes and cried silently as he slowly leaned forward. He trailed kisses up my stomach , he kissed my breast , savoring it , nibbling on it . I gasped when he fingered my core .
"Ahhhhh! " I bit my lower lip to prevent from screaming when his manhood suddenly thrust into me .
It took me by surprise , kaya napamulat ako. He was closing his eyes as he concentrated in ecstasy . While I was in pain , the devil seemed to be enjoying every push he made .
His hips moving brutally in me . He leaned down and kissed me on the lips .
I could feel his hot breath against my ear when his mouth left my lips . As he continued to ram his body on me . Hot tears were flowing down my face . He raped me once again .
And as I imagined that this will happen again and again as long as I stay here ,my determination to escape was strong . But I don't know how.
