Her Nightmerish Punishment

"Isa lang ang hinahangad ko, Kaeah. At iyon ay para sa iyo," said by the old man who's now standing in front of me. "I hope you will learn your lesson there."

Lesson? Where? What's that for?

Matagal na akong nag-aaral pero wala akong natutunang lesson. Is that even a word? Pathetic peoples.

I laughed histerically as if he was telling a nonsense joke. He was saying things that I'm not aware of. I don't even know this shitty old man. Sumulpot na lang siya sa kung saan at kinausap ako. And that, he was a complete stranger.

I looked straight into his eyes.

"Kung sino ka mang matanda ka na wala na rin namang silbi sa mundo at malapit nang mamatay, you better leave." I smiled, controlling myself not to burst out my anger. "I'm so sick of your mouth. Alis!"

Hindi ko na napigilan pa ang sarili. Tumalikod ako at dinampot ang putol na kahoy sa likuran ko.

Itinutok ko iyon sa matanda.

He just smiled at me. Sandali lang ay dahan-dahan na itong umatras habang hindi pinuputol ang pagkakatitig sa akin. Seconds just passed, his face turned to a dead serious expression.

Napaatras ako.

Hinawakan ko ang aking ulo nang makaramdam ng biglang pagkahilo. Napahawak ako nang mahigpit sa dibdib ko. I... I can't breath!

"Ikaw," I heard him whisphered. "Ikaw ang magdedesisyon kung kailan ka makababalik. Be good, Kaeah. You will be freed soon."

"Shut up!" I shouted as I glared at him.

What is he talking about? Baliw ang matandang ito. I will be freed soon? I am free and I'm not even inside the jail!

Muli akong napahawak sa ulo ko. Umiikot ang aking paningin, nasusuka. I also tasted my blood coming out from my mouth. What's happening? Bumigat ang katawan ko hanggang sa hindi ko na kinaya, tuluyan na akong bumagsak sa sahig. My breath was heavy and it's making my heart skip.

"F*ck-ah!" I screamed out the pain.

"Goodbye, Kaeah."

That's was the last sentence I heard before I passed out.
