CHAPTER 03:
1041 Words
"What happened to you my son!!" i heard Governor Ramirez yelled before i fixed my hood. "Find that woman! Now!" he furiously command.
Hindi ko alam kung saan ako dadalhin ng mga paa ko. Ang mahalaga ay makaalis ako sa lugar na ito sa lalong madaling panahon. Pero... saan ako pupunta? Ang tanong... may mapupuntahan pa ba kaya ko? May tutulong ba sa 'kin sa lugar na 'to? Wala! Walang maglalakas loob na tulungan ako kapag nalaman nila ang krimeng ginawa ko!
Kapag nalaman nilang ako ang bumaril sa anak ng Gobernador ng probinsya na 'to!
I decided to entered on one Bar near here to calm myself for a while. Alam kong nasa paligid lang sila at kailangan kong makihalubilo sa maraming tao para hindi nila agad ako makita at makita. I have to think.
F*ck! I have to think what i will do next!
"Are you okay Ms...?" napatigil ako sa pagsapo sa ulo ko ng marinig ko ang baritonong tono nito.
I didn't mind him and i just drink my own beer. I don't want someone to know what big problem i'm facing right now and i don't want them to be with this too.
"By the way, i'm Zack and you? What's your name Ms..." i drink my beer before i look at him.
"Will you please, leave me alone." i arched a brow.
I heard him cleared the lump of his throat. "Easy miss... i'm just concern on yo— "
"You don't have to." i murmured. "I'm okay, and you don't have to concerned on me... because you don't know me anyway."
"Tell me your name then. That way, i will know who you first." he insisted.
I grunted. "Just leave me alone."
"I know your not okay... so i'm hear... to listen to your rants... to be your friend." hell, give me time to rest. My patience on this man is no longer.
"I don't need your concerned and d*mn you, leave me alone please... just leave, leave me alone." seryosong sambit ko na siyang ikinagulantang niya. "And i don't want to be your friend." i added.
I don't need that kind of people in my life. I have no trust to anyone... even that man.
Sa wakas, sumunod din ang makulit na lalaking 'yon sa gusto ko. Itinatak ko sa kokote ko noon hanggang ngayon na hindi lahat ng taong mabait at may malasakit sayo ay ganoon pa din sa may dulo. They will also betray you at last. That's life... so you don't have to trust anyone in your life because even your most trusted people nowadays... will surely backstabing you or maybe will kill you too.
Pagkatapos kong ubusin ang dalawang beer ay sinimulan ko ng maglakad palabas sa Bar na ito. Ilang oras na lang ay sisikat na ang araw at alam kong aalingawngaw ang krimeng ginawa ko maya maya sa buong probinsya na ito. Natigilan ako sa paglalakad ng may pamilyar na boses akong narinig mula sa likuran ko.
"Ngayon lang kita nakita dito Miss. Sigurado ka bang okay ka lang talaga? Alam mo bang maraming masasamang loob dito kaya bakit nag-iisa ka?" that's Zack again.
"I can handle myself... just leave me and don't mind me." i continue to walked.
"Pauwi na ko babae. That's my house by the way." itinuro nito ang bahay na may nasa d kalayuan. "Sorry kung makulit ako... gusto ko lang kaseng makatulong sayo."
"Don't move!" i heard from the far that's why i run fast.
"Just leave me alone please... ayaw kong madamay ka dito." i pleaded while running.
"Sh*t! Anong nangyayari? Bat hinahabol ka ng mga tauhan ni Gov?" nag-aalalang tanong nito habang kasabay ko pa rin siyang tumatakbo.
"Basta, iwan mo na lang ako! Huwag mo na lang akong sundan!" pakiusap ko dito dahil natatakot na kong baka kung ano pang mangyari din sa kaniya.
"Kung ano man 'yang ginawa mo... alam kong hindi mo magagawa 'yan kung walang ibang dahilan... at alam kong mabuti kang tao. Miss, tumakbo ka na... ako na ang bahala dito." tumigil ito sa pagtakbo kaya napahinto ako.
"Zack..." nanghihinang sambit ko.
"Like what i said, I'm hear for you if you need me, miss..." he smiled then sigh.
"Meiv... but you don't have to do this kind of things... hindi mo ko kilala at hindi mo alam 'yang ginagawa mo!" inis na sambit ko dito.
"Meiv, nice name... yes, i don't even know you but i know your having a good heart Meiv... always remember that. Alam kong hindi ka masamang tao kaya tumakbo ka na." and with that, i run as he said. I left him fighting them alone. He fight for me without knowing who really i am.
Dumausdos ang maraming luha sa pisngi ko ng marinig ko ang malakas na putok ng baril. He don't deserve to do that... to dead and to save me.
I'm running through the some distance ahead, the hall bent to the left and from those hidden precincts glowed a nimbus of yellowish luminicence. I felt my two feet starting to be getting numb and my body that starting to collapse because of tiredness. I have to run to escape. I have to run because i don't want them to caught me and turn me to jail. And i don't want to marry that man... to be with that man again.
All i wanted is to live free... But, what is the point to live in this drastic world anyway?
Before i see myself lying on the road, I smiled bitterly while my two eyes seeing the bright of the moon and the stars on the night sky. Lots of tears was forming to my eyes. All things was starting to became blurry and the thing that i could do is to close it slowly. I decided to close it than to see again his face. I'm still scared to see the face of Haze Ramirez, even Governor Harry Ramirez and the most worst... the face of William Alvarez. I don't want to see their face anymore.
"I don't want to wake up anymore... so please... let me die. Please, let me die." i whispered.
Before all things became black i felt someone wipe my tears.
