Jay's POV
I had been unconscious for so long that I didn't even realise it.
When I opened my eyes, I was no longer in the same place.
I was somewhere else—somewhere that felt strangely familiar.
I was lying on a bed. I slowly sat up, trying to recognise where I was.
Suddenly, I heard something.
The sound of waves…
Am I at the beach?
I quickly got out of bed and walked toward the window.
When I peered outside, I realised it really was a beach.
But who brought me here?
I tried to remember everything that had happened…
(Flashback)
When I arrived at the Philippines airport,
Suddenly, a little boy came in front of me and asked—
"Are you Jay?"
"Yes. Why?"
"Someone is calling you outside the airport," he said.
"Who? And why?" I asked.
"He said he knows you, and you know him," the boy replied.
"Where is he?" I asked.
"Come with me," the little boy said, holding my hand and pulling me along.
As we stepped outside, I saw Alex.
What is he doing here? I asked myself.
He walked up to me and said,
"Did you miss me? Look, I've come to pick you up."
"What the hell? Why won't you leave me alone?" I asked, frustrated..
"Look, I've had a crush on you since childhood, and I'll only marry you."
"Are you crazy?" I asked angrily.
"Yes, crazy about you."
"I'll complain to the police," I threatened.
I was about to walk away when suddenly a few people came from different directions and grabbed me. I tried to scream, but they tied a cloth over my mouth.
(Then I fainted.)
When I opened my eyes, it was dark.
Where am I?
Only a faint ray of light spread across the room. My hands were tied.
Some broken tools were lying around. I tried to move a little, but I couldn't.
I had no strength at all.
Suddenly, the door burst open, and he walked in.
"Where the hell did you bring me?" I asked angrily.
But he replied in a calm voice…
Where do you think I brought you?.
Please leave me, let me go. I begged
Nah, no-no, that can never happen, now I won't let you go anywhere far from me.
I cannot be yours; I belong to someone else and will remain his. I responded by yelling.
Suddenly, he grabbed my hair angrily and replied ....
Don't ever say that you belong to anyone; you are mine, only mine.
I'm not yours, and I don't want to. I yelled
As I replied, he slapped me hard that I fell on the floor, my head hit the floor and started bleeding.
Don't ever say that again. He yelled, then left.
Tears started falling down my cheeks.
Why only me? Is there no one else?
Keifer,please come to help me.
(I said this while crying myself to sleep.)
(Flashback ends.)
I came out of the room and went straight downstairs.
And yes, I was on my island.
If I'm here, then I'm sure Keifer must be here too—but why should I talk to him?
Why did he bring me here?
I noticed that the resort gate was open, so I stepped outside. I looked around and then started walking toward the sea.
I sat on a rock near the seashore, admiring the view and feeling the pleasant breeze.
I had returned after almost a month, yet I felt nothing—
not happy, not even sad.
What am I feeling?
Why did he save me after everything that happened, and why did he bring me here?
Who knows? Maybe that girl did all of this.
I sat there, lost in thought, feeling insecure because of her.
A tear slipped down my cheek.
Will Keifer leave me because of girls like her?
Then I noticed Keifer lying on the seashore. I had been so absorbed in my thoughts that I hadn't even seen him.
I decided to ignore him and walk away. I stood up and started heading back toward the resort.
But suddenly, he held my hand.
….
See you in the next one.
