I can feel my blood going into my head. Kung nakikita ko lang siguro ang sarili ko, baka namumula na ako. For almost five minutes nakaganito lang ako. When I can’t breath, I am trying to reach for the vine and gasp for the air. Ganon lang ang ginagawa ko, paulit-ulit. I tried not to panic. Walang magagawa kung mag panic pa ako.
I remembered, when we were still together, he helps me to overcome my struggling in breath because of panic. He’s the one who can calm me down but, he’s not here so I need to stand on my own. And even if he’s here, I should never ask for his help.
Ten minutes of struggling, I screamed for help but, no one is walking this way. Mukang malayo ang ibang tao dito. I reach for the vine again to gasp for air when I heard the cracking sound of branches and dried leaves.
