Madaling nakalabas si Allison sa building sa tulong ni Miguel. She had doubts of course, but she was already running out of time to make further assumptions. Miguel had promised to drive her out of the small town. All she knew was that the guy could be trusted. He works for Krista after all.
"So, anong plano mo?" Miguel asked, eyes still fixated on the road.
Allison averted her gaze by the window with a sigh. "I'll go meet him. His grandfather, Reneé. I'll go beg for mercy or somethin'. Makikinig 'yun. Apo niya naman si Ash."
Miguel heaved out a frustrated sigh. "Allison, hindi mo kilala si Reneé. He's too unpredictable and obsessed with power. Pwede ka niyang patayin oras na tumapak ka sa teritoryo niya. Tumakas kayo ni Ash mula sa puder niya, who knows what will happen to you at this rate? That's basically suicide."
"I can't just stand and stare at my best friend who's bound to die soon," sagot ni Allison. "Kahit na isang pursyento na lang ang chance, I'd still take that risk."
"Talagang itatapon mo ang buhay mo sa kapahamakan para lang sa isang katulad namin?" Miguel uttered, impressed but not surprised.
She hummed in response. "Wala rin namang kwenta ang buhay ko kung hindi naman kumpleto ang mga mahal ko sa buhay. I don't think I can live without Ash or any of my love ones."
Tila'y di na binigyang pansin pa ni Miguel ang mga sinabi ng babae. Nagpatuloy na lamang ito sa tahimik na pagmamaneho hanggang sa makarating sa tapat ng isang convenient store. Walang masyadong maraming tao. Tahimik ang lugar at may kakaunting maliliit na tindahan sa katabi ng nasabing convenient store.
"Anong meron dito? Ba't ka huminto?" Tanong ni Allison.
"Hindi mo din naman sinabi kung saan at ano ang specific details mo tungkol sa plano mo, kaya dinala kita dito."
"At ano namang gagawin ko dito?"
Bumaba si Miguel sa kotse at di rin nagtagal bago niya binuksan ang pinto sa tabi ni Allison, telling her to get her ass of the car.
"Meeting him might either help you or change your mind about your disorganized plan."
Allison immediately threw him a glare. A strong, suspicious one. "What are you talking about? And who am I meeting?"
"Just get in there, then you'll know. 'Wag kang mag-alala," sabi ni Miguel. "It's safe, I promise. I'll come with you of course."
Hindi na nagprotesta pa si Allison. Hinayaan na lamang niya si Miguel na i-guide siya papasok ng convenient store. Hindi rin nagtagal bago mahagip ng mga mata ni Allison ang taong matagal na panahong naghintay bago siya muling nakita.
She felt as if her heart skipped a beat.
She felt as if her chest tightened. Suffocation almost took over.
Guilt.
