"I can't die here." Bulong ko sa sarili ko habang hingal na hingal at pagod na pagod.

"I won't let you neither." Mahinang sambit din ng kasama ko na tulad ko ay hingal na hingal din. Napatingin ako sa kaniya at ganoon din siya sa akin.

He smiled.

He smiled and it melts my heart.

Kahit na nahihirapan na siya dahil sa mga sugat at galos niya ako pa rin ang iniisip niya.

"Stop that." Irita kong saad sa kaniya. He just chuckles.

"You should not stopping me, malay mo last na pala yon." Natigilan ako sa sinabi niya.

How dare he say such thing.

"Wag na wag mong sasabihin yan. We didn't go this far para lang mamatay. We. Will. Win." Naiinis at may diin na sabi ko.

He just smile again, but I can see loneliness in his eyes. Why?

"I know you can." He uttered almost whispering.

Hindi ko alam pero iba ang nararamdaman ko.

Tumahimik ang paligid. Tanging hininga lamang namin na naghahabol ang maririnig.

Wala akong masabi. Wala akong magawa. Hindi ko alam ang gagawin kong aksiyon.

Maya-maya pa ay nakarinig kami ng kaluskos. Nagkatinginan kami at madaling naging atentibo sa paligid. Pinakikiramdaman ang bawat ingay na maririnig.

"She's here." He said. I can sense he's staring at me.

"I know." Maikling sagot ko.

"I can't believe this is really happening." Napatingin ako sa kaniya.

"Neither do I."

But I think risking my life is worth it.

Who would think this will be a life and death situation.

They were a killers.

And we, the civilian has to survive.

Naghanda na siya ng kaniyang sarili bago payuko at dahan dahan sa paglalakad. Itinago ang sarili sa hindi kaagad makikita ng paparating na kalaban.

Bago ako sumunod sa kaniya, napapikit muna ako ng mariin ng biglang may isang alaala ang pumasok sa aking isipan.

And it was a family. A happy family and there was me, smiling from ear to ear. As if I'm the happiest person alive.

Until that voice interrupted.

"Don't move or I'll kill her."

What the hell was that?
