on the beach

Chapter 6

Zhara's Pov:

Haxe and I talked thru skype last night, he said he would just pick me up at the airport when I arrived in Australia.

I also finished taking care of the paperwork needed for me to leave the Philippines. Regarding my studies, I will just take an online examination in Australia so that I can continue this semester. Then next year, I might stop studying first because I still need to save money to support myself. I will look for a job in Australia and Haxe will help me there.

I just took a taxi to the airport, because I sold my car so that I would have something to spend when I arrived in Australia. It's embarrassing for Haxe because if I only rely on him, I should also have money to buy the things I need.

I glanced at my watch and was 30 minutes early. Hays. Maybe I'll just eat first.

I was looking for something to eat, I forgot to have breakfast before.

"I'm sorry ma'am but your passport is temporarily on hold for now. You are not allowed to leave the country at the moment." said the front desk receptionist to me. I was surprised by what he said, as if he wanted me. Why is my passport on hold? Have I done something wrong that I don't know about? I would have asked the woman why my passport was banned but she was already talking on the phone. This is not possible, I need to leave the Philippines. Maybe mommy can find me here.

I left the queue first so as not to disturb the other passengers.

I immediately called Haxe’s roaming to let him know of my situation.

"Hello Haxe, I'm already here at the airport, but the receptionist said that my passport is on hold. I can't leave the country."

Huh? When did you decline? Maybe he just made a mistake .... "Haxe and I interrupted when suddenly someone grabbed both my arms. Shit! What is this? Why are these men holding me. I saw the airport guard before but their uniforms weren't like this. They were in black suits and everyone was carrying a gun .. They grabbed my attention, people kept looking at us here at the airport. I tried to get away from them, but it seems irons are holding me together now.

Let me go! What do you need from me ?! "They tried to pull me out of the airport. OMG! Is this kidnapping ?! I was immediately alarmed by what I thought.

Help! help! help me, they're going to kidnap me! "but no one even bothered to help me. It seems that they are also afraid to approach these armed men.

My tears just kept falling, I was afraid of what could happen to me. They forced me to ride in the black van.

Who planned this? don't tell me mommy tracked me down?

I also tried to get away from them, and when the van was completely closed, they let me go. I slapped the man near the door while I continued to cry.

What is my fault with you! Why are you doing this to me! let me go, I said. I'm really going to report you to daddy! "I didn't care if I beat him. I noticed that one of his companions signaled, suddenly someone covered my face with a handkerchief. The strong smell of it caused my vision to blur.

'God, help me'

I completely lost consciousness.

Zhara's Pov:

When I woke up I found myself lying on a big bed. I felt myself, I noticed that I was still wearing it. I also don't feel any different in my body except for my head which seems to be squeezed by the pain.

This room is spacious and even bigger than my previous room. The theme of the room is even girly because its wall color is a mixture of yellow, pink and sky blue which is not my taste. I prefer dark colors like maroon and blue green. I see a lot of expensive paintings hanging on each side.

I also heard from outside the pounding of the waves on the shore. Am I on the beach? I'm sure it's not one of the houses that our family owns because I've memorized the design of them and we don't have a house near the sea or the lake.

Where did mommy take me? I'm sure he's the only one who planned all this, as well as the decline of my passport at the airport. I also love my mother, she will do everything just to get what she wants. is he that greedy for money?

I slowly got up from my bed and slightly pulled back the large curtain in front of my bed. I was immediately amazed to discover that it was a glass door to the veranda. I slowly opened the glass door and was immediately greeted by very fresh air. The expanse of the blue ocean is evident here. But it seemed like a private place because I didn’t even see other people and houses around.

I am on an island of emptiness.

I was surprised when I heard a from behind me and when I looked around I saw a woman who was quite old and based on what she was wearing, it looked like a maid/nanny.

"I'm sorry to bother you miss, I just want to let you know that your food is ready."

"Okay, thank you very much. I'll just eat that soon" I replied

He bowed before walking away. My peg is just like a princess. I immediately remembered the dramas I had watched before, because the scene was like this.

When I entered, I found some food lying on the bedside table. I also felt a little hungry, because I didn't eat last night because I lost consciousness.

I looked for my cellphone, as well as other things I brought yesterday but I couldn't find any. Of course, I let go of my phone yesterday when I forced myself to struggle from the men who swept me away.

I was planning to call Haxe, I'm sure that worries me.

I tried to turn the lock but I was immediately depressed realizing it was locked.

Hayss. how long can they keep me here?

A few days have also passed since they brought me here to the island of nothingness. And in those same few days I was always confined here, I really felt bored. I have nothing else to do but eat and sleep. I feel like I'm fat.

I saw a box on the bedside table and when I opened it, my eyes were sparkling as I saw what's inside. It was a diamond necklace. If you don't ask, I used to love collecting necklaces but when I planned to leave I sold them all. My conscience didn't want me to but I was in a hurry then, I really needed a large amount, because all my atm and credit cards were on hold. It's a good thing I know someone who has a jewelry shop, he bought everything because I gave him a big discount.

But this one is very rare, I think this is worth a million. So I'm so happy to see it. I immediately put it on and looked at my reflection in the mirror. This thing fits my smooth neck.

Soon I heard a soft knock on the door of this room. Suddenly Manang Betty came in, she's the woman who always takes care of me here.

"Good morning miss, I'm giving it to you for your upcoming university exams." at the same time as far as the bag I use every time I go to work. When I peeked, my notes were there, as well as my laptop, and my pocket wifi, also inside. I also have a school uniform. Hays, it's good and they remember I still have an exam.

I immediately reviewed, I was even surprised to see there were new lessons posted on the last page. This is probably our lecture when I was away.

I also studied for three days then manang Betty said that I would go to university today because now our final exam will be held. I also felt happy because I could finally get out of this prison.

Five body guards took me to HNU, they even wanted to enter so that I could be guarded inside but the school guard forbade them. It's really exclusive to women.

I immediately smiled at the idea entering my brain. This is my chance to escape them as well. But I'll think about that later. I have to focus on the exam first.

We finished at three o'clock and now I was planning how to escape them. Pano ba to. I haven't memorized the entrances and exits here yet, I kept asking questions, I found out that the exit gate of HNU is on the other campus because the emergency exit of our campus is closed because something is being fixed. So I still need to gate crash like that? I'll just try if I can get into the male campus.

As I was honestly at the men’s gate I felt nervous. The guard's face was very serious. I thought of an alibi and it's good that my mind is still working now from the bloody battle in my exam earlier.

Sir, can I come inside? It's really just an emergency "I'm still begging for an effect on them. Please work.

"How important is that to you? I can page that in the mouthpiece" he promised

What ... y-my brother called just now, s-he said his a-what hurts ... his ... l-his back. He has cancer of the b-bone ... s-stage 2. That's it. He's from f-freshman "I've lied so much. It's a good thing I don't really have a brother.

Is that so, let's go here with me "promised the other

Oh w-don't, s-who's going to watch over this isn't it hehe "I said nervously

"It's ok, their break time is also over so it's not too busy."

TO NE CONTINUED....
