THE SHELL COLLECTOR
"Mommy!" i called mom
"I'm here baby" she response
Tumakbo ako papalapit kay mom
"Mom can i swim now?" i asked her
"No baby maybe later? Okay lang bah? May ginagawa pa kasi si mommy eh" sagot nya
Napasimangot naman ako at bumalik sa upuan ko. Dahil wala akong magawa ay pinagmamasdan ko lang ang mga taong nagsasaya at naglalaro sa dalampasigan.
"Devy!" sigaw ni mom sakin
Napalingon naman ako "Yes Mom!?"
"Come here baby change your clothes"
"Are we gonna take a swim now?" Exicted long sabi
"Yup so come here so I could change your clothes" aniya
Lumapit naman ako at sinimulan nya na palitan ako ng damit. Pagkatapos akong palitan ni mommy ay agad kaming pumunta sa dalampasigan
"Yeheyyyy" I shout as I feel the water in my body
"Devy wag kang lumayo sakin" sigaw ni mom
"Yes mom"
I'm just 7 yrs old at d pa ako marunong lumangoy.
I just play and play in the seaside with my cousins. Matapos naming maglaro ay nagpahinga kami saglit at pumunta sa malalim na parte ng dagat.
"Mga bata umahon na kayo jan at lumalakas na ang alon" sigaw ni tita
Nagsi ahun naman ang mga pinsan ko habang ako ayy d sila pinansin dahil nag eenjoy ako
"I think i need to get up here" mahinang sabi ko ng hanggang leeg ko na ang tubig
Hahakbang na sana ako ng may malakas na alun ang sumalubong sakin kaya na out of balance ako at natipalok
'Aray'
D ko na pansin na nasailalim nako ng tubig.
Tumalon talon naman ako para makakuha ng tulong at makalanghap ng kunting hangin
"MOM H-HELP ME I-I'M DROWNING" sigaw ko pero d parin nila ako narinig dahil nasa kubo silang lahat
"H-HELP M-ME"
I'm starting to get unconscious at maraming tubig nadin ang naiinom ko
"H-He.. lp m... e" nahihirapang sabi ko at unti unti ng nawawalan ng malay
Is this my end?
*Everything went black*

"How is she?"
"She's fine now ma'am, salamat na lang at nadala nyo sya dito at naagapan agad sya namin dahil kung hindi ay baka natuluyan sya"
Minulat ko ang mata ko ng narinig ko ang boses ni mom
"Mom?" mahinang sambit ko
Napalingon naman sila sakin kaya dali daling lumapit sila sakin
"Are you okay? How do you feel?" tarantang tanong ni mom
"I'm tired mom" I whispered
"Then get some rest baby" she said and smiled at me
"Mom I'm sorry for not listening to you and tita" I sadly look at her
"Its fine just don't do it again okay? You really make me worry" she worriedly said "Let just be thankful cause the Shell collector save you"
"Is he/she the one saved me?then where is he/she?"
"His not here baby i didn't even see his face cause he has a facemask and when I looked at him outside, his gone, so lets just pray for him" mom explained
"Ohh Okay mom"
"Just rest okay?" I just nood
Sayang magpapasalamat sana ako sa kanya hayst. Sana kahit mukha nya nakita ko man lang. I'm thankful cause he save me, I really do.
'I hope i can thank you face to face'
