SISTER IN LAW

THIRTY SEVEN: SAVING THEM

She gently stroked the gun on my face. Gosh. This is really crazy.

“But before I do that. I'll put you first, you are a sinner that should be --you should be put in a coffin alive!" she said

And she untied me from the chair, and I took it as a chance to push her. And get out of this room. I need to find my daughter.

But before I could go out, she grabbed and pulled my hair again. Shit. So I kicked her hard.

"Look, Leysa. Where are you going?”

"You look better. Where did you take my daughter!” I kicked her again... but this time enough to make her lay down in the floor and let go of me. While she was still laying down I took the chance to run out. But I suddenly stopped when I heard her pull out a gun.

"All right, try to take a step. I'll make sure your skull explodes by chance. You're going to die, while you haven't saved your child yet.” I am not making a move -not because I am afraid she will shoot me but I am afraid I will not be able to save my daughter.

I felt she was behind me and again, she pulled my hair.

"But it's happier when your child sees how her Mama dies. Isn't it great? Oh... how about - I will repeat what I did in our house before? Huh? Nahh! Do not answer me. I do not need your opinion. I will judge your sinfulness!"

She was still dragging me through my hair when we stopped at a door. I roamed my eyes around the place. And suddenly I felt hot. It feels like I am burning. Damn! "No. Don't. Please.” I begged her not to put me inside. I cried, but she just laughed it out.

"Why? Don't you miss this room, Leysa? Hmm.” she said but I did not speak... only shaking my head in response. It's so hot -my body is like on fire. I remove her hold to my hair which she tightened even more. Damn it! I do not like this place. She turned to me and smiled wickedly.

"Why! You really don't want this room, Leysa? Maybe when you find out who is sleeping soundly inside that. Maybe you yourself will insist on going in there. HAHAHAHA.” she suddenly blurted out that made my heart beats faster..

No. No. What did she mean by that? Oh no, my daughter! I forcedly get her hold at me and run fast inside the room. Damn. It's hot. I could feel the whole room burning.

"No. No Leysa. You just feel that. Because of what happened in this place before. Fight it. for your child.” I said to myself again and again

I was relieved to see my daughter laying down in a chair there. I immediately approached and picked her up. I know, Diana did nothing wrong to her. I wake her up. Until she woke up and looked at me. when she realized who I was she smiled sweetly.

"Mama. You're here. I've been waiting for you for a while," she said. I just hugged and kissed her. "Sorry, baby. Mama was just trap in a heavy traffic that’s why I came here just now. But you are safe now, that I am already here.” I replied Suddenly someone was laughing in front of us, she even clapped... like she was enjoying the show.

"Wow. Are you sure you are safe, Leysa?” She said and roamed her eyes inside this room. This is the room she locked me in before, when she set the house on fire. So I don't want this place. I feel buming. I would have been on fire then if the fire had not been extinguished immediately.

“Do you remember this room, my dear sister? It's a pity you were not included in the burning of this place. But don't worry. I will continue my plan to burn you then, right now! Well it's not too late. HAHAHA. That's right. You won't be sad. You are with your daughter who is very cute. HAHAHA, "she said and laughed

She holds a lamp where the only one that gives light inside the room. "Stop this now, Diana. It's not too late to change and repent. Please. Let us go.” I hugged my daughter tightly while begging her to let us go. "Mama," my daughter mumbled.

"No! It's now or never, Leysa. Its either you burn or you survive. HAHAHAHA," she said and left the room where we are still in. She locked it and darkness engulfed the whole area. So I was suddenly scared. Damn this phobia and trauma of mine, but I have to fight it. I can't be weak at these times. I need to be strong for my children.

I approached the door, as I carried my daughter. I shouted her name, begging her to release us. But I could only hear laughter from outside. and sprinkling some water. No! It is not water -I could smell it... a gasoline. Shit, we need to get out here.

FREDERIK'S POV

9:00 PM

We are all gathered here in Leysa’s room, when Edward received Hana’s call earlier.

We are all here except Mommy and Tita, because they are watching Leyson in the ICU.

I look evilly at Edward's wife. Because she let Leysa leave alone. Damn this woman. Is she crazy too.

She just stared at me, and smirked as she was tightly hugging Ed. Psh. I tried calling Leysa but I can't reach her. That woman is really stubborn. She always disobeys me.

"What's up? What's up? Are you just going to stare here? Gooo! Save my best friend. That's why I called you right away, so you can catch up with them in Bulacan. Take action - knock knock!" Edward's wife suddenly said.

"Eh if you didn't let her go, I wish she was still here, and safe. Argh! Just be thankful that you are pregnant," I replied angrily.

“Are you stupid? What if my baby Freda is in mere danger? Ha? What? Do you think Zeysa can afford to lose her daughter while she can do.a move togave Freda? You assholes don't even understand why Leysa loves'you so much, that you aré just a stupi d jerk who just let youir head down there speaks for yout" Ugh! I want to push her, if only my friends wouldn't stop me. Thank you very much and she is the wife of my best friend.

After some planning, we left. I was with Dad, Uncle, and the police who went to the old Frank's house in Bulacan. I checked the time, just enough to reach there on time.

A few minutes later we reached the place, it was very dark because there was no light and it was quiet. But I immediately saw Leysa's car.

Police and that army were quickly stationed all around. I just stood in front of the old mansion, Dad and Uncle were also here. And so I confronted Uncle John.

"What happened to this house?"

"We need to abandon it after this house was set on fire... by Diana.” I'm surprised. So back then, she’s aiming to get rid of Leysa. Damn!

"I think, they are in the place where the fire started, Uncle..." I said out of nowhere, which Uncle just nodded. So he quickly ran to where it was all happened back then. Daddy and I just followed him.

And there... she is! Crazy laughing while sprinkling something outside a room.

"DIANA!" I shouted so she tumed in our direction

She suddenly let go of the gallon he was holding containing gasoline. She looked terrified.

I stepped forward, she spoke slowly,

"So? What are you doing here. Ah! You want to save your family, as if I'll let you,” she said smirking

And it was as if the movement of the world suddenly stopped. Because if we just make a one bad move. she will definitely light it up.

"Please. Stop this now, Diana..." I tried talking again to her.

"HAHAHA. SERIOUSLY? Why it’s lways Leysa, Fred? Why? Why everyone of you are choosing her ha? Tell me, Erederik. Please tell me what to da?I am begging you. Please, love me back. I love you sa much. Damn it! Dont you dare say any words. You will just deceive’ me again’ You just used me, right. So this i is what you deserve! See how your beloved family get Burned in your very own eyes. This will be my greatest revenge to all of you. HAHAHA"" she said and lit the match he was holding and threw it in the room where Leysa and my daughter were inside. I heard Leysa’s shouts. She's shouting for help.

Suddenly, the police rushed at Diana, arrested her, and shot her in her leg part. She is still recovering, but she is already-being held by the police. And as if ifton cue, I ran immediately towards the room. I heard then: shouting to make me stop. But I need to save my family. I inmmmediately kicked the door of that room - too strong to break the door immediately.

And there I saw, Leysa while hugging a small little girl in her arms. They are at the far end of the dark room. She's protecting our child. Damn it! I will make sure to rot where Diana should be imprisoned. I approached them. Because we had to get out before the fire could consumed the way out.

"Hey, baby. Com‘on, you two are safe now. Let's get out of here." Leysa suddenly looked in my direction. She's crying, but her smiles show up when she saw me. I saw the beautiful face of the girl she's carrying. She also looked at me so I smiled at her and hugged them both --so tight. And I quickly led them out of that burning room
