I Don't Want To Go Back

Binibini - Zack Tabudlo

After eating, talagang totoo na may dadaanan kaming hanging bridge. Totoo rin na mayroong alternative way, for those who could not really take to climb the bridge.

We could use that way, but where's the thrill?

Hindi naman ako takot masyado sa heights, but this is a hanging bridge.

"Don't do big moves for fuck's sake, Kylo!" reklamo ko nang ang laki ng hakbang niya sa likod ko.

Mahigpit 'yung pagkakahawak ko sa parang net barrier sa bawat side ng bridge, dahil umaalog nga 'yung bridge kapag malalaki 'yung galaw or hakbang mo at nu'ng nasa likuran.

Luckily, kami lang ni Kylo 'yung tumatawid dito as of the moment.

I heard his laughed at my back, teasing me. "I did nothing, Sy."

"Dapat kasi 'yung sa isang way nalang e!" reklamo ko pa ulit.

I started stepping small, then step again. I'm trying to do smaller moves para hindi masyadong magalaw 'yung bridge.

Ito namang si Kylo pang-asar din. Tulak ko siya rito mamaya e, tamo.

Dumagdag pa 'yung nalamig na hangin na sumasalubong sa akin sa kaba ko. Shet lang talaga.

I snapped when Kylo held my wrist and made me turned to him.

"What?"

He didn't say anything and walked passed me. To my confusion I slightly hit his back that made him look at me and laughed.

"Ano ba?!" I irritatedly asked. Naiinis na ako gago 'to. Mukha ba akong nag-j-joke?!

He didn't say anything and just turned his back at me and bend his knees down a bit, just for me to reach his back.

"Aba na." He commanded.

"Huh? Ano ka sinuswerte?" I rolled my eyes kahit hindi naman niya nakikita.

I heard his laughs and straighten his back, before looking back at me. "Ayaw mo? Malayo pa oh." He pointed the end of the bridge which is malayo pa nga.

The side of my lips rose up as I think if I could still walk from where we are to the end of this hanging bridge.

"Fine!" I frowned.

"Wow, parang napilitan pa ah." He joked.

I hit his arm and glared at him. He just laughed and turned his back at me again, and bent down.

He piggy-back me until we finally reached the end of this hanging bridge.

I was still scared and I almost kill him by strangling him- when he keep on teasing me and jokily dropping me from his back. But ended up on laughing together.

Damn, that hanging bridge took so long huh?

We reached the real view. Wow.

Just wow. What I just said was wow. Wala ng iba pa beh.

I took pictures of those- the city lights.

"Sy," Kylo called me while I was capturing the best view here in Manila- or Antipolo City to be exact- i've ever seen.

I looked back at him and put my phone down, "Yes?"

"Let's take pictures."

I was shocked? And uh... there's something again inside my stomach that tickled.

"Of course, sure." I nodded my head many times, agreeing.

He smiled widely before going beside me. He held his phone up, I smiled look at the camera- and he snapped the capture button of his phone's cam.
