Flashback

- One and a half year ago (2nd year Senior High) -

Because people knew that I was a model, I need to be careful sa bawat galaw ko, at kahit na anong ingat pa ang gawin namin, nalaman din sa school ang tungkol sa relasyon naming dalawa, ang iba sinuportahan kami ang iba naman kontra, na kesyo ginagamit lang daw ako ni Ryouma for his own good or ginagamit ko lang daw sya para mas mapaganda pa ang name ko sa school na bukod sa model ay boyfriend ko ang school heartthrob, lalo na ang may mga crush sa kanya, but I ignored them and as I ignored them the more they get irritated and that's the start when they bully me.

There were time na umuwi ako sa bahay na pugto ang mata, because I can't hold my tears anymore, wala naman akong ginawang masama sa kanila para ganunin nila ako, Ryouma didn't knew about it, dahil kapag kasama ko sya para bang kung sino silang mga angel sa paligid, hindi ko na rin sinabi sa kanya yun, ayoko kasi na mag alala pa sya, so I kept all of it, i keep silent sa mga ginagawa nila but I knew na nakarating na din sa kanya ang mga nangyayari sakin and I was hoping na he will be there to comfort me and protect me like what he always say.

Until one day Ryouma became cold to me all of a sudden. And then my worst nightmare came.

-One year ago (the day before their first semester break)-

"Moshi moshi (Hello in Japanese) Oni-chan?, ..... hai!, ito na nga po pauwi na tapos na po kasi ang closing ceremony, .... don't worry no need to pick me up I can go home by myself.. Bye"

Kuya talaga, over protective, ever since he found out ang nangyayaring pambu-bully sa akin he insisted that he or our driver must drive me to school and pick me up, at ito na nga diba, pauwi na.

Mag isa lang ako na naglalakad papuntang bus station, when I felt that someone was following me, so binilisan ko ang lakad ko.

I tried to outrun this suspicious guy following me when all of a sudden he grab me on my shoulder and make me inhale some gas that makes me feel dizzy and sleepy.

"who are you?" that's all I can say before I loose consciousness i didn't even see he's face.

When I woke up I was at an unfamiliar room and I can't think straight about what am I suppose to do because my head is aching.

"Are you awake, Kasey-chan?" the man said as he enter the room holding a glass of water and slice of cake.

'What's happening?, Is it a prank?, Does my brother plan this? Where did he put the hidden cameras?, What is he up to?' And most of all who's this guy?' those are the questions running in my head at that moment.

"Kasey-chan?~"

"Who are you?, where am I?, what's the meaning of this?" I asked him

"You're here at our paradise, you're going to stay with me here forever, right?"

He said while gripping my shoulders, and look at me as if he was taking my clothes off in his mind while looking at my whole body. AND IT"S CREEPING ME OUT, I'M FREAKING NERVOUS!! MY SHOULDER HURT.S

"Don't touch me?!" I snap at him so he get his hands off of my shoulders.

"EH?!, Don't you like me?, wha-wha-what's w-w-wrong with me?, tell me?, Kasey-chan?!, don't you like me?, b-b-but I like you!, and no one can get you from me!" he shouted as he grip again my shoulder and this time he was shaking me like a crazy man.

"Let me go!!" I said habang pinipilit na kumawala sa pagkakahawak nya.

And as I tried my best na makawala sa hawak nya the more na hinihigpitan nya ang pagkakahawak nya and this time I swear sobrang sakit na talaga ng braso ko.

"Don't be stubborn Kasey-chan, I know you like me too" he said, and now he was trying to kiss me.

"Stop it, please, stop it! *PAK*"

I said habang pinipilit na kumawala and as soon as na nakawala ako sa hawak nya my hands landed on his face, I slap him with all my strength, now it's clear to me that this guy was a psycho and I wanna go home I can't take any minute nor any second being here, IM FREAKING SCARED!.

"why did you slap me?!, are you underestimating me?!" he said with a scary look and tone,

So while I was in a state of panic I tried to run and get out of this place, I tried to escape from him, but he was fast, he grab me so I fall down on the floor because of the impact he did.

"Yamete! yamete! yamete!~"

I keep on saying while struggling and crying because he was on top of me now.

"sshh.. Stop crying Kasey, we will live together from now on, your mine right!, your mine, you are the only for me, so stop crying ok, Kasey's mine and no one can get you away from me," he said to me while combing my hair as his sweats fall down on to me.

"Let go of me, let go of me" I said while still crying as I keep on struggling.

At mukang naingayan sya sakin kaya tinakpan nya ang bibig ko gamit ang kamay nya, and this was my chance, I bite his hands and I also kick him as soon as I stood up, at dahil di ko alam kung saan ang pinto palabas, pumasok na lang ako sa cr ang unang pintong nakita ko. I locked the door and then good thing is nasa bulsa ko pa ang cell phone ko so I dialed my brother's number, I can still manage to dial even my body is shaking.

"Hello?, Kasey?!, for god's sake where are you?, I thought---"

"Oni-chan!!!, Save me!, please!" I interrupted him.

I'm so glad that oni-chan pick his phone.

"Huh?!!, what happened to you?!, where are you! Are you alright?!"

"Oni-chan!~, save me" I beg him while wiping my own tears

"ssshhh~ Alright I'll save you!, I'll be there, don't worry, okay!"

"oni-chan... WAAAAH!!!!"

I drop my phone because of shock, this psycho was already in front of the c.r, trying to open the door.

"hello?, Kasey?, KASEY?!, ANSWER ME?!, Hello?!!"

I still hear my brother's voice from the other line, I want to pick up the phone but I can't move an inch from where I am. Please god, help me. All I can do now is to cry and cover my ears.

"Oi!, Kasey-chan, open this door!, OI!, OI!"

He said while trying to open the door, at dahil mukang nagsawa na sya sa kaka-kalampag sa pintuan he leave.So I tried to pick my phone and call oni-chan again, but he came again and this time I can hear that he was holding a key so to prevent him from entering, I hold the door knob so he can't open it with the key. But this guy was strong and persistent after few minutes of trying to open the door with the key, he kicked the door which made it to open, at dahil sa lakas nya wala na akong nagawa nang hilahin nya ako palabas at dalhin muli sa kwarto.

While keeping on struggling and fighting para makawala I got a chance para maabot ang isang glass figurine na naka-display hinampas ko sya gamit yun, and for the second time around I run, running for my life, while I was escaping, lahat ng bagay na madadampot ko hinahagis ko sa kanya, pero parang balewala lang yun sa kanya, until I was cornered, wala na akong mapuntahan wala na rin akong maibato.

He grab me ,then binusalan nya ako and after that binuhat nya ako pabalik uli sa kwarto, habang buhat-buhat nya ako patuloy ko naman syang hinahampas ng buong lakas sa likod nya, pero wala talaga, he even tied me up on his bed.

And now that he's on top of me trying to undress me an began kissing my neck while I keep on struggling and crying. When someone knock on his door, so, he got up an went to the front door to look who is it, and while he was busy there, I tried to untie the rope in my hands, when I heard a loud sound. Like something has been crash in there.

"How dare you touch my sister you asshole!!"

Oni-chan!, that was my brother, he was here, he really is.

"Kasey!, Kasey?!, Kasey?!" I can hear his foot steps, he was here.

"Kasey?!, are you alright?"

He said while untying the rope and the handkerchief on my mouth.

"Oni-chan!" I said while crying as I hug him tight.

"Are you hurt?" I can sense that he was worried like a crazy man.

"Oni-chan!"

I keep on saying as I shook my head to assure him that I'm alright even though I'm not.

"Oni-chan!, I wanna go home, please, iuwi mo na ako, please!, oni-chan~" I beg at him

"sshh~, alright, uuwi na tayo, can you stand?, here alalayan na kita"

When we got out of that house I was shocked to see a ton of police outside and an ambulance, and maybe because of all those things that happened that day, I collapse and lost consciousness.

When I woke up nasa ospital na ako and my brother was sitting next to me, while my grandpa was sleeping on the couch in my hospital room.

Flashback Ends

"and that's my story bago ako mapunta dito sa Pilipinas"

"madami ka palang pinagdaanan, so what happened after you got hospitalized" Nice ask

"doctors says that I need to rest and it's better kung di daw muna ako pumasok for a week, and when my classmates found out about what happened to me they came to our house to visit me, and that's when they found out about my trauma, it was when one of my guy classmate tried to hug me, I snapped and jump out my bed, I even shout at him saying that he shouldn't touch me, nagtaka silang lahat sa kinilos ko kasi nasa isang sulok lang ako nakatakip ang mga kamay sa tenga at nanginginig sa sobrang takot, pero nung pumunta si kuya to check what happened I calmed down, then they ask the doctors about it and yun nga they say that it was because of what happened and they advise that I should take home study for the meantime para sa therapy ko." I explained

"So, it means na, kapag kamag anak mo ang kasama mo kalmado ka but kapag boys na classmate mo , you freak

out? Am I right?" Nice ask again.

"yes, but not at all, because when my aunt and uncles including their children visit me, I also freak out when they came near me, and the one who can calm me down was my brother and grandfather but eventually I got calm and relax whenever they were around and then a month before the school year ends, exactly two months since I took home study I decided to return to school, but it was never easy for me, because when I returned as expected rumors about me spread and it's all a lie, sometimes I thought that I was going crazy aside from freaking out when I'm around with guys also because of their untrue rumors, like I seduce Ryouma and the guy who molested me , they were saying that I only made up that to gain attention and so the boys began to tease me and they were like asking me to go out with them and you know, do perverted stuff but i ignored them, I was all by myself those remaining days on our second year, because ever since that incident happen he never visited me he was also avoiding me at school, and my friends whom I trust was not there, there's no one I can talk to all of them avoid me na para bang may nakakahawa akong sakit, at ang mga girls they continue to bully me and then one time when they were bullying me at the storage room ng school and because of the impact ng pagkakatulak nila sa akin nabagsakan ako ng mga bakal sa paa kaya nagkaroon ako ng bone fracture na muntikan ng maging dahilan ng tuluyan kong pagka pilay, feeling ko napaka miserable na ng buhay ko and I even wanted to die para tapos na but I remembered my brother, he was the only one I can hold and talk to, he was always there for me even though he was very busy due to his schedules and I'm grateful to have him as a brother, that's why I am still here because he was there, he was the only one who never leaves my side when I'm down."

"Speaking of that Ryouma, you said that you've dated him before, what happen to him, to your relationship? And why you decided to came here" di rin to matanong no?

"my grandpa and brother decided that it was better for me start over here and they say that it also can help me to forget what happened and for me to fully recover and overcome my trauma and fears, they knew that it was hard for me to stay there after all of those happenings , halos hindi na ako nakakatulog sa gabi dahil lagi ko yung napapanaginipan at nakikita sa tuwing pipikit ako that's why I needed to take sleeping pills para makatulog ako and about him, well I thought he's the one, when I'm with him I'm so happy, but that happiness didn't last long, bakit ba kasi ako nahulog sa kanya, he said he loves me but what happened, he said that he will protect me, but where he is when my classmates and schoolmates bully me, he was just standing there acting like he doesn't saw everything, he's just protecting himself, his name and standing at school, he only love himself. We don't have a proper closure about our relationship that time, ever since he became cold to me I never heard a thing about him, he never text me nor call, and I don't understand why, until one day during the vacation I received a call from him saying that he wants to break up with me, and few days after that we accidentally met at mall and she was with his new girlfriend and that's the last time I saw him before I came here with my grandpa"

Habang kinukwento ko sa kanya ang lahat di ko namalayan na naluha na pala ako.

"You're crying?, I'm sorry I shouldn't ask that, di ko na dapat pa tinanong yung tungkol sa past mo, sorry" he said while helping me wipe my tears

"It's alright, saka okay na din na nakwento ko to sa iba at least medyo gumaan na yung pakiramdam ko para bang may natanggal na kung ano sa akin, and thanks for listening Nice, salamat sayo"

"walang anuman yun"

"Alam mo ba na ang first impression ko sayo ay napaka-sungit at suplado pero hindi ka naman pala ganun, nagkamali ako, dahil maunawain at maalaga ka pala"

I said after I let out a sigh.

"sanay na ako dun, oh!! Ayan na ang kuya mo" he said while pointing to a guy who is walking towards us while holding an umbrella.

"Kasey?!, Nice!, ano okay lang ba kayo?, wala bang masakit sa inyo? Nice salamat sa paghahanap sa kapatid ko ha, tara na uwi na tayo" my brother said.

"walang anuman po yun, pero tara na uwi na tayo dahil baka sipunin na kami nito kapag nagtagal pa tayo dito" sagot ni Nice

"*Sneeze*"

"ayan na nga, tara na Kasey, sinisipon ka na"Nice said as he hold my hand.

*dugdugdugdugdudugdug*

What's these?, b-bakit ganon, dahil ba to sa sinisipon lang ako, ... OO tama!, dahil to sa sipon ko, kaya ganito kabilis ang heart beat ko.
