After All: Eccentric Collection No.1

Chapter 26

E.C. 1

She opened her eyes. Nanghihina at walang ganang inilibot ang paningin nya. The noise of the chopper became louder for her.

"Sir! May nakasunod po satin!"

"I know idiot!"

Nahagip ng mga mata nya ang isang helicopter. May mga armadong mga tao ang nasa loob nito at nakatutok ang mga naglalakihang mga armas nila sa kinaroroonan kung nasaan ang dalaga.

"Shoot them all!"

She touched her belly. She looked out but she only saw an ocean down there. She gasped and covered her ears when she heard a gun sound continuously.

Sobrang kaba at takot ang nararamdaman nya. She need to escape asap. Sinubukan nyang tanggalin ang tali sa kanyang mga kamay gamit ang nakitang patalim na nahulog ng kung sino man. Okupado ang mga taong kasama nya sa loob na nakikipagpalitan ng bala. Kalaunan natanggal din nya ito at sinunod ang nasa bibig nya.

Jastine is breathing heavily habang hinahanda ang sarili sa pagtalon. Palapit na sila sa mapunong lugar. Kailangan nya ng makaalis dito. Nagulat sya nang may isang tao ang nabaril at nahulog sa dagat.

"Fuck!"

Nilingon nya ang pinanggalingan ng boses na yon. She stopped and watched the man change his gun. Tinitigan nya rin ang mukha nito. She felt uneasy.

That voice...

Napayuko bigla sya nang maramdaman ang matinding sakit sa kanang braso nya. Napahawak sya rito. She groaned in pain while she watched the bloods on it.

The chopper started to rage and fall down.

She tried again to looked at the man. Parang nakipaglaro ang panahon sa kanya nang ibalik sya muli sa madilim nyang nakaraan. Lahat ng pighati, galit at sakit tila ba sumabog sa loob ng dalaga. Katabi lang pala nya ang hayop na sumira sa kanya. She almost end her life. She forget that she accepted what she had been through when she saw him.

Everything is back to her.

Wiping her tears away, she held expressionless the sharp thing.

Narinig nya ang sigaw nito habang tinanggal ang patalim sa balikat.

Jastine watched the man. The pain she saw from his face is nothing from the pain she has.

How dare he!

Galit na galit ang mga mata ng lalaki na tumingin sa kanya. Bigla sya nitong hinawakan sa leeg. She did her best to stop him. But the culprit was strong. She kicked him in the middle. Namulupot naman ito sa sakit.

She collect herself out. Kinuha nya ang baril sa tabing upuan at itinutok sa ulo nito. Malapit ng bumagsak ang sinasakyan nila sa dagat.

The man raised his hand.

"Please," Saad nito.

She could tell that he's still in pain. But no one could stop a woman who ruined her.

"You're not supposed to live."

She sounded different. Kahit sya kinalimutan na ang totoong sarili.

She pulled the trigger and she saw how the man furiously looked at her.

Pero ayokong maging masama katulad mo.

A cold water embraced her whole body. She feel the ocean. Her tears mixed with it. She don't want to die degenerately. That's why she point the gun beside him, not killing but to gave him realization.
