BEAST in ME

PART 21

JIA POV

LY: "Guys kanina pa tayo paikot ikot lang sa lugar."

We have been walking around for quite a long time already. By now, we are suppose to reach our destination. But as what ate Ly said, we are just going around the area.

DEN: "Naliligaw na tayo guys."

ELLA: "Magdidilim na maya maya lang, kailangan na natin mahanap ang daan pauwi."

TOTS: "Tama naman yung dinaanan natin. Sinunod natin yung sinabi ng guide kanina."

MICH: "I think we made a wrong turn. Hindi ko lang alam kung saan."

JEMA: "Ano nang gagawin natin ngayon? Baka abutin tayo ng gabi rito."

That's another problem. Sooner, its gonna be dark around the area. And I don't felt good. We are surrounded by big and tall trees and no one to ask for help.

MADDIE: "Okay ka lang Ji?"

JIA: "Ayos lang. Magfocus na lang tayo paano makalabas sa lugar na to."

LY: "May pwede ba tayong gamitin diyan na palatandaan para atleast maassure natin na hindi tayo paikot ikot lang. Para kasing pare pareho lang ang bawat lugar dito."

MADDIE: "Me and Deanna will take care of that."

KAT: "I'll help you too."

MICH: "Okay good. Pag-usapan niyo na lang paano gagawin."

LY: "Guys, yung phone natin. Huwag sayangin ang battery. Kakailanganin natin yan just in case na abutan tayo ng gabi."

JIA: "May nakapagdala ba ng lighter or something na pwede natin gamitin para makapagsiga?"

TOTS: "I have ate Jia."

ELLA: "Bakit ka may dalang lighter Diana Mae? Huwag mong sabihin na naninigarilyo ka?"

TOTS: "Hala, hindi po ate Ella. Nasanay lang po ako na may dalang lighter. Sa province kasi lagi ako talaga may dalang lighter."

DEN: "Well, good thing you brought one. Para atleast kung gabihin tayo dito we can use it to put a fire to get rid of animals at night."

LY: "Tara na guys. Let's continue walking and find our way out of here."

And so we did, we are laser focused and observant with every path we pass by. We become aware of the surroundings making sure we are making right progress and not keep on going back.

After 30 minutes of walking, we had a sigh of relief when we had a view already from a far of the place we long to see.

Finally, we are seeing the place where we stay. I felt better knowing that I will no longer stay in the forest and spend the night there. It gives me chills.

We run as fast as we could going to the place because of excitement. I guess we all felt the adrenaline rushing because we can have a good sleep instead of spending it in the dark forest.

ELLA: "Huhhhh. Hiningal ako dun. Bakit kasi kayo tumakbo?"

We were already near the gate. We all lay down on the ground catching our breaths.

MICH: "Huhhhhh. Ako din, sobra akong hiningal. Tumakbo lang naman ako kasi tumakbo din kayo eh."

She is breathing heavily.

TOTS: "Hahahaha. Dinaig pa natin ang pa morning run ni Coach Tai sa ginawa natin. Huhhhhh. Ayoko maiwan kaya binilisan ko talaga ng takbo. Hahahahaha."

JEMA: "Ayoko na. Feeling ko mamatay na ata ako sa hingal."
