We don't want to get into a car accident, aren't we? That's just so horrible cause of death. Well, in my case that is. I came from a medical mission, others stayed in little barrio but I decided to go home since I forgot to tell my sisters that I'm not in town. They might be looking for me or not. Well, not really sure since we're kind of really busy with our own lives right now dealing with so many matters in life, trivial or not. And this call, indicates an ear piercing noise. "Hey, sis." I said and chuckled. "WHERE THE FVCK ARE YOU ATHENA CETO MATSURA-GONZALES?!" Alectrona shouted in the other lines. Gosh, her voice is so damn painful to our ears! Out of us four she's the most hot-headed and impatient. Nakakatakot pikunin ang isang to, sinasabi ko sa inyu. Kung gusto niyong nawalan ng pandinig, sa kaniya kayo lumapit at galitin niyo siya hanggang sa lumabas yung litid niya kakasigaw sayo. Damn! "Chill, I'm driving home. I -we- did a medical mission in this very secluded area." I explain although I know they could have just investigate it for me. "And why didn't you tell us before hand? " She inquired. "uhh, i forgot, im sorry. We are kind of in a hurry because your beautiful sister, which is me, that we planned a medical mission some time ago and I simply forgot due to hospital responsibilities. You know, being here and there, doing this and that, going in and out. Yeah, things like that." I said it with a chuckle to ease her worried heart. Gosh this women, para naman silang just now ah. Eh sa bigla bigla naman talaga akong nawawala dahil yung schedule ko pabago bago dahil makakalimutin ako basta kung ano lang yung nagaganap ngayon yun lang yung naaalala ko. Can someone relate to me? I need someone to justify my reasons, please. "Yeah, yeah. Sorry as always. Anyway, safe drive and come home as soon as possible. " "Yes, Engineer. " I said and i heard her tsk before hanging up the call. That woman is really, I don't want to name it. In the four of us, she's the oldest, Alectrona. Though we're in the same age, 25. Month lang yung pagitan samin. Alectrona on January, Aphrodite on April, Artemis on September, and me on June. And we we're born in the same year, as if it is destined to happen. And out of us also, Alectrona is the most hot-headed and impatient woman, not to mention she's rude. Artemis on the other hand is the very opposite. She's calm, logical, and patient, her patience is as vast as the ocean that sometimes it irritates me. Aphrodite is the good child in the four of us, but of course there's always a bad side, she's sarcastic and blunt. While me? I'm the middle. I can be either of which to them it's just that I'm way more wicked and cunning but I'm not a traitor. We all love our profession. Me being a doctor, Alectrona being an engineer, and both Aphrodite and Artemis being a model. And a little trivia, since our birth mother maybe have the same mindset or obsession as what my mother had, they named us after a greek goddesses. Not that I complained, 'cause hey I love my name. Because duh? Who hates goddess Athena? Tell me so that I can share my sentiments. But going back I think I'm lost? Or maybe not? Because I don't where the hell on the Philippines I am right now? I'm really in the middle of nowhere. Maybe I took a wrong turn earlier? Not to mention the place is so dark that only my car is lighting it up. I am not in a the film called final destination, am I? Because it starting to creep me out. Plus, the sounds of the night is not helping. In a certain situation maybe it'll be refreshing and calming but not right now. Oh gosh. Where the hell am I? I said to myself. Because it literally is. Pero minamalas ata ako. Bigla na lang gumiwang ang sasakyan kaya tinigil ko sa tabi ng daan. Lumabas ako para tignan kung anong nangyari. Problema, hindi ako marunong nito. Anak ng tinapa talaga, oo. "Bakit ngayon ka pa na flat?" tanong ko sa gulong ng sasakyan ko. Kung sasagot itong tinatanong ko ay baka makaramdam ako ng relief para naman kahit papano ay may kasama ako. Kahit pa gulong yung sumasagot. Ano ba yan. Kung anu ano na pinag iisip ko. Nagpasya na lang akong pumasok sa loob at tumawag ng tulong sa mga sisters ko kaya lang bago pa ako makapasok ay nakarinig na ako ng mga putukan. Teka, putukan?! Hindi naman holiday season ngayon dahil ang layu pa non! May gyera bang nangyayari dito? Bakit ngayon pa? Naka doctor attire pa nga ako e. Dali dali kung binuksan ang kotse ko bago kinuha ang cellphone at baril ko sa ilalim ng upuan ko. Buti na lang lagi akong handa. Mahirap na sa panahon ngayon nagkalat ang mga kriminal. Ayokong nag aaksaya ng lakas para makipag buno, mas gusto ko yung isang kablitan lang tapos na. Nilagay ko yung cellphone ko sa bulsa ng trouser ko at isiniksik ang baril sa tagiliran ko ng may makita akong dalawang sasakyan na paparating. Sumasandal akong tumayo sa kotse at naka cross ang mga kamay sa harap ko. Inaasahan ko na silang didiretso na sila paalis lalo pa't may putukan akong naririnig kanina. Pero hindi ko inaasahang hihinto ang sasakyan sa harap ko. At iniluwa noon ang sugatang lalaki sa balikat hawak ang baril sa kanang kamay. Gwapo sana kaya lang hindi ko type. Wala naman siguro akong problema sa katawan? I mean, literal na maghahabol ang mga babae sa kanya dahil talagang makalaglag panty siya sa kagwapuhang taglay pero hindi ko talaga type e. Hindi ko feel. Alam niyo yun? Pero teka, may hawak siyang baril. Ibig sabihin sila ang nagkaputukan kanina? Hindi naman sila mukhang police o sundalo man lang. Humakbang papalapit ang lalaki kaya walang pasabing hinablot ko ang baril ko at itinutok sa kaniya dahilan ng kaniyang paghinto. Nagulat siguro siya dahil hindi niya inaasahang may baril ako. "What do you want?" bigla kong tanong in a soft voice to make him doubt me. "You." sagut niya He has an accent though. "Pardon, mister?" "You. You're a doctor?" "Obviously." I said sarcastically cause he's asking a very obvious question. "Don't be sarcastic woman, I might kill you." "Do I look afraid?" Sige, magmatapang ka pa, Athena. 'eh sa talagang matapang ako e. Kaya nga pinangalanan akong Athena ng mudrabels ko e.' sabat ng isipan ko. "Shut up. " He said coldly and in a matter of second he's about to grip me but thanks to my reflexes I saw his moves. I really am a Japanese. Buti na lang nag aral ako ng martial arts and karate way back my teenage days. He aimed his gun at me but I'm way more faster. I shot his other shoulder making him groan in pain. Good thing my gun has a silencer. To avoid further problems. A great thank you, Artemis! I could show you kisses right now. "Sorry, I got slip. A little information mister, I don't like coercion. So if you need my help, at least ask nicely. You don't want to anger me." I said to him sternly but I felt a cold thing pressed in the back of my head. Nice. "Move if you want to die." someone said from my back maybe the owner of the gun. "And say goodbye to your little friend too." I replied and turned around. Making the gun press in my forehead but I keep my composure while my hand is aiming at his friend in the south. I felt him stilled but change it into blank face. Too late. I already saw it. "You know, you're too noisy when you walk. " I said and smile at him. "Who are you? " he asked "Can't you read or don't you know how to read? " I sarcastically asked again since my name was clearly written in my name tag. It says ‘Dr. Athena Ceto M. Gonzalez’.
