Our Tragedy
Prologue:
It was a rainy night. Well, rainy was an understatement. The skies poured torrential amounts of water that blinded me as I ran away from home to find out about my parents—possibly their location, if they‘re still alive. Napakadulas ng daan at halos walang makita kundi ang mga patak ng ulan na nagbabagsakan. Habang tumatakbo ako ay hindi ko namalayan na may paparating na sasakyan at papunta ito sa direksyon ko.
Instead of running away I closed my eyes and wait for the car to crash onto me—but it didn‘t. Instead, I was tackled by someone to the ground and we rolled sideways, avoiding the vehicle. Panandaliang lumabo ang paningin ko kasabay ng pagsakit ng buong katawan ko, pero pinilit kong umupo.
Beside me was a man, who seemed to be in the same state as I was.
"K-kuya ayos ka lang po?" I asked. I can't see his face dahil bukod sa lakas ng ulan ay kakaunti lamang ang liwanag sa paligid.
"Y-yes, j-just hold on everything will be fine." He responded in a weak tone, doing his best to calm me down.
Biglang bumalik sa akin ang lahat. If he wasn‘t there, I would have been dead. My life would have been a waste. Biting my lips, I suppressed a sob and swallowed it down my throat. Hindi ko alam kung iiyak ako o matutulala.
"I won't leave you, I-I will stay here," he mumbled, and pulled me close. Despite the rain drenching us both, I felt warm. It was weird, but comfortable.
Maya-maya pa nakarinig ako ng ingay, mukhang may rescuer na nakakita sa amin. Patayo na sana ako nang maramdaman ko ang unti-unting pagbigat ng ulo ko at kasabay ng pagpatak ng ulan, ay ang pagkatumba ko naman dahil sa pagod at lungkot.
