How They Met

Miya is travelling down a dark and quite alley. It was past thirty minutes after ten, and she needed to be home by eleven. Kailangan na niyang matulog sa mga oras na iyon, or she will break her own curfew and punish herself for not following her own rules. Everyone calls her a weirdo for her principles, yet most of them hates her for being her. But she does not mind that at all. She only cares for herself, so why bother about what others think? As long they won't cross her line, that would be okey.

Upon turning down on the last crossing, she was suddenly stopped by a thug. She knew exactly what is happening. About two meters away from her, were other thugs surrounding a man lying on the ground, all battered and bruised. If she is not mistaken,the man was covered with blood.

" Paraan po. Wala naman akong nakita," Miya said to a thug who just answered her a boisterous laughter.

Her brows knitted in annoyance. Sa lahat ng ayaw niya ay ang makialam sa gulo ng iba, pero alam niya ang mga ligaw ng bituka nga mga katulad nitong nadaanan niya.

" Damn! I can't be delayed any longer," she thought to herself.

" Anong problema diyan? ",tanong ng pinakalider ng grupo. Lumakad ito palapit sa kinaroroonan nila ni Miya.

Kita ang kislap sa mga mata nito nang mamataan siya. Though she was just wearing her jacket and pants, hindi naman maikakailang babae ang mukha niya. Isa pa ay siya ang may pinakamagandang mukha sa buong syudad na iyon, kaya hindi nakakapagtakang iba ang isipin ng mga lalaking nakasalamuha niya ngayon.

" Mukhang napaaga ang reward natin ah! Hindi ko pa naman napapatay yong mokong na yon, may ipinadala ng advance payment. Hahahahaha " masayang sambit ng lider.

Nagsilapitan ang ibang mga kasama nito at nakapalibot na lahat kay Miya. She counted them, and they were ten in all. Each had his weapon, four  were bringing guns in their waists while five was holding knives in different sizes. Ang pinakalider ay nakapamulsa lamang na nakamata sa kanya,malawak ang ngisi sa mga labi na parang nakajackpot.

"Padaanin niyo ako at makukuha niyo ang premyo nyo," kalmadong sabi ni Miya.

She's not afraid of them in fact, she's afraid for them, of what she can do to them.

Nagtawanan ang sampung mga lalaki sa pahayag niya.

" Matuto kang lumuhod at magmakaawa Miss. Hindi ka maililigtas niyang magandang mukha mo. Kung magiging masunurin ka, maliligayahan ka pa," at naghalakhakan silang lahat sa sinabi ng isa.

"Tsk," ang tanging sambit ni Miya.

She positioned herself in her bike. Kung tama ang kalkula niya, makakauwi siya bago mag alas onse. Hindi na dapat siya nag-aaksya pa ng panahon sa mga walang kwentang tao kagaya ng nasa harap niya.

Sa isang iglap ay pinaikot niya ang bike at pinatama sa lider ng grupo. It caught them offguard. Sinamantala ni Miya ang pagkabigla ng mga lalaki. She kicked the one nearest to her, grabbed his gun and while still pedalling her bike, pointed the gun to the other three who has guns and fired. Miya didn't miss a single shot. Nakabulagta sa kalsada ang tatlong tinamaan ng baril, at hindi nakahuma ang anim pa. Hindi nila alam ang gagawin. They did not expect a young woman like Miya to actually do that stunt.
