" This is not the way home."

This girl! Kung saan saan na lang niya ako dinadala! When we first saw each other again after 3 years dinala nya ako sa death forest! Ngayon naman ay sa madilim na daan papunta sa ibang bundok!

"It's raining, we should simply drive to one of our safe places and sleep," she replied, turning her attention back to the road. " Why don't you simply dry yourself and stop talking."

I can't believe it! Did I just say that I will help her? Ang sama sama ng ugali niya tapos tutulungan ko siya!?

" You know what? Fine! Then find another to trigger your fucking feelings asshole!"

Lumiko siya sa isang mapunong daan at napapailing na bumuntong hininga!

" Okay, I call your father that you just kissed boys even though we are engaged." Gulat akong napatingin sa kanya. " I recently heard that the one that you will inherit will be donated if you refuse to cooperate."

Gigil akong tumingin sa kanya. " Are you blackmailing me?"

She just shrugged and yanked the tires to the left, her arrogant ruby eyes darting towards mine!

Is this your favorite car?" I ask abruptly.

"I don't have a favorite car."

Sayang! I thought it was this car! Gagasgasan ko sana ng makabawi naman ako!

" Tsk." sabi ko at tumingin na lang sa labas.

The only sound I could hear was the tire crunching the pebbles we were passing through. I also only see large trees, so where are we?

Hindi na ako nagtanong dahil alam ko ang masamang ugali niya. Tumingin ako sa cellphone ko at wala man lang kasignal signal for god sake!

Saan ba ako dadalhin ng babaeng to?

Luminga ako sa gilid at may natanaw na isang maliit na bahay. Bahay ba yun? Parang kwarto lang ah? Duon nya ba ako dadalhin? Mukha ba akong pang maliit na bahay lang?

She always brought me too small spaces place! Malalim akong napabuntong nung lumiko siya papunta duon sa maliit na bahay. May natanaw akong dalwang matanda na kumakaway sa amin.

"Who are they?" I wonder, staring at the two elderly people who are waiting for us.

She came to a halt and unbuckled her seatbelt. I imitate her while waiting for her response.

"They are the caretakers of this house; I already gave them this house; all I want is that they lend us this house for one day."

"So, where are they going to stay?"

"They said I didn't have to worry about it." Kibit balikat niya.

" Do they have lavender soap?"

Kunot nuo niya ako tiningnan, " Why would they have lavender soap?"

Kumunot din ang nuo ko, " To take a bath? Shower?"

" Idiot," binuksan niya ang pinto niya at bumaba na. " Your being rude get out now."

Nakakainis! Binuksan ko ang pinto. Sinalubong kami ng nakangiting dalawang matanda. Ngumiti din ako sa kanila. They look at their 70's already? Paano kaya yun? How can they live in this forest for years?
