Chapter 2 Fight and Escape

Chapter 2: That is where my miserable life began and I also escaped from that place. I haven't been here in the Philippines for long yet another test came to me.

The ship we were on was caught and the trip was indeed illegal. They arrested all the passengers including me. I see some women.

I adjusted the leather jacket I was wearing by Hiruki and in fact I was nervous about my fate here. When they ask for my birth certificate and ID they will know where I'm from. I am still a foreigner in their eyes even though I come from this country.

Because the Hannabi couple adopted me legally. My real and full name is Froyee Hannabi Monteverde. But I'm also used to Froyee Hannabi Takazi. It was the Takazi couple who adopted me.

We were taken one by one to the headquarters of the coast guards and when he saw that I was fine, he removed the hat from the hood of my jacket.

Anxiety rumbled in my chest and he even grabbed my chin just to lift my face. I shook his hand hard. The policeman grinned at me and pulled my wrist. A few people there looked at us.

He sat me down and I hugged Haruki's backpack tightly. Sometimes my face is really bad, right?

I know that women envy my beautiful face but they don't know that it is also very harmful. I don't want to be fooled by people who lust after a beautiful face.

I looked coldly at the coast guards because they also gave me a look, a sticky look. Are they all like this? Thank you Fortunately, I had pants in my backpack and I think Haruki meant to put them there. Because I can't carry any kind of backpack.

I have long wavy hair and it is naturally light brown. I didn't tie my hair back to cover my face but I still failed to hide it.

With the speed of the man in the black hat, I could hardly catch up with him. He was also glancing at me from behind so he just ran faster.

I was not aware that there were many thieves here and it was still close to the headquarters. After all, we are still in port.

“Shit!” I'm very cheap. He went to the market so I went there too.

I couldn't chase him because there were so many people and he was throwing or stepping on all their goods. I've pushed people a few times. The floor is slippery because of the water that the vendors pour.

I'm out of breath and I'm sweating. But I don't want that thief to get away from me. He was actually somewhere when I caught up with him.

He ran across the other road and because I was desperate to catch him, I didn't even see the car that was about to hit me. But before it hit me I prepared myself.

Exactly when it got close to me I jumped. My body rolled on the hood and I also fell to the floor. I closed my eyes tightly when my back hit the hard floor. I felt like I was going to faint from the force of my fall. But I don't feel any pain in my legs.

I adjusted my hoodie hat because the owner of the car got out. Even though I was hurt, I still didn't show any emotion on my face.

"Are you okay, Miss?" it asked me. His voice was cold and deep causing me to panic. There seems to be something about him. He managed to support me and when I saw his long fingers I frowned. I shook his hand and stood up. "I'll take you to the hospital, Miss."

"No need," I said firmly. When I remembered that thief, the annoyance rose in my chest and I confronted the man.

I extended my hand to him. It was late and I couldn't see his face clearly but all I knew was that he was tall.

"What?"

"My hip hurts, my back fell on the floor so pay me," I promised coldly.

"That's why, I insisted on taking you to the hospital, and I'm the one who pays your bills."

"Money, just give me money instead of taking me to the hospital. It's just the same, you still pay." He held my hand and I was shocked when he examined me.

"You don't have wounds, and you look fine. Maybe... this is your trick to make us pay for you because of the accident? You mastered it, did you? How did you do that?” My facial expression just hardened. I was even mistaken for a cheater. He is the one who bumped into me.

"You want to see my back?" I asked irritated.

"I'll take you to the police station instead of the hospital." Before he could touch me, my left foot was already in the air. He recoiled and grunted in pain from me kicking him.

“What...”

“Yes, I look like money. But I don't cheat. It's not my job to take people's money just to hurt me? Only a madman thought of such a thing. It doesn't matter," I said and approached him.

"What are you doing? Get off me, woman!” he shouted because I was fumbling with his pants pocket. Her perfume was strong and it hurt the nose. I grinned because I saw his wallet. "Shit!"

I opened it and I was not even surprised to see that he had many cards and also his money. I only took one thousand and gave it back to him.

"I only took one thousand dollars even though you did a lot of damage to me. I'm still kind in this situation because I'm not robbing you," I said and then I left him there.

I ran to leave and I don't know if the reason I ran was because my heart was beating fast or because of that man. I just shook my head.

I'm not familiar with this place and I have no idea where else to go. It gets so dark that I sleep on the street.

I bit my bottom lip hard and panic hit my chest. I sighed and looked at the one thousand I took from the man. I wish I had made five thousand, what? He has a lot of money.

When I saw a cafeteria, I went in because my stomach had been upset. Then I started walking slowly. My back hurts. I know it's swollen.

My mouth watered when I saw the dish. I missed eating Filipino dishes.

I have already ordered food. Two plates of rice, soft drink, marinated chicken liver, pumpkin vegetables and beef tapa. That's what I ordered and I poured it all over. I feel like I'm starving.

I was still crying when I finished all the food and the customers looked at me but I didn't pay attention to them. I approached the woman to pay for what I ate.

Five hundred was reduced immediately which shocked me. I even looked at the table just to check it and saw two plates each of my dishes. I closed my eyes tightly. Instead of saving money, I almost ran out of money.

I also went out after I paid. I just cross the road without emotion. I put both my hands in my pants pockets.

I'll just look for a place to sleep as long as it's not on the street. That's dangerous. Maybe the beggars will feast on me or the police will catch me. If there is rent—oh speaking of that. I have seen something. One night or three nights.

"Is there a vacancy, Manang? Even if I don't stay long at your inn?"

“Five hundred a night.” I looked at my remaining money. I can't sacrifice this for the sake of where I'll sleep tonight.

"Alright, I'm leaving," I said goodbye and chose to sleep on the street. Psh.

I was still lucky because I found a park. I quickly went there and looked for a place to sleep.

There is still light but I prefer the dark. When I saw something, I went there but I stopped because I heard something.

"No, please... Don't do this to me..." a crying girl promised and begged him to let her go.

“Shut up, kid. If you don't want me to stick the knife in your throat. Just lie there and let me pleasure you. I know you'll still like it.” I clenched my fist tightly.

“Ouch... Ahh!”

"Cover that mouth. It's too noisy and hurry up. There are many of us here who want to taste that child.”

Because I'm used to the dark, I saw their shadow. Four... Four adults and one child they want to exploit?

I took a deep breath and got closer to where I was. Someone noticed my walk.

“There is someone.”

"But I'm just getting started!"

"There is someone!"

"I want to play with you too," I promised firmly and without emotion. With the help of the moon I saw their faces. If I'm not mistaken they are in their 40s and above.

"Well, we're going to be the jackpot, man! A woman came to us voluntarily!”

"Looks like we were heard." Foolish laughter echoed around. I wanted to smile at them but when I saw the look of the child I felt like I could only see red.

"Hello, miss. What kind of game do you like? We can definitely give you that,” said the big-bellied man with a grin.

"Give me the child first and then I'll tell you what kind of game I want," I said and they all looked at each other. I know they won't let me. "What now?" I took off my hoodie and left only my black strap shirt. "Do you know the threesome? That's what we're going to do.”

Again, they murmured and looked at each other then they pushed the girl close to me. I think it's still in high school.

Just before it fell, I quickly caught it. His body trembled with fear and my jaw dropped at the sight. His uniform is torn and his hair is a mess because maybe he managed to tweak it. Both of his cheeks are also red.

"Are you okay?" I will ask. He slowly nodded with a sob.

I put the hoodie I took off on him then I carried him behind me.

"Sister..."

"You're right there behind me," I said. My fingers stroked my long hair and all four whistled. One of them even licked the side of his lips. "Who will be first?" I asked and they pushed. The two began to approach me.

"Here we are, miss." I signaled the boy to move away and he obeyed even though there was some hesitation on his part.
