Pangdalawampu't-anim.

How can we forget those two important people in our lives? Where could they be? Bakit hindi namin sila napansin na hindi nakasama?

Nanghihinang napaupo ako sa kalsada. Bakit si Rona at Sam pa ang pwedeng maiwan? Pwede namang ako. I can defend myself. I know Rona can defend themselves naman its just that kung gaano katagal? Two versus many lefters. How can they last long?

Paano kung pinapalibutan sila ng maraming lefters? Paano kung may nakagat sa kanilang dalawa? Oh shit. No. No, no, no. I should stop myself thinking about that.

I just sighed and look up at the sky. God kayo na po bahala sa dalawa.

"Babalikan ko sila." Napatingin ako kay Jeremy. Lumapit ito sa akin. Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko at itinayo ako. "I promise you I'll be back with them."

Tumango ako at yumakap sa kanya. I know Jeremy he won't let me down.

Kumalas ito ng yakap sa akin.

"Guys lipat kayo kanila Kat. I'm gonna bring the pickup truck." He said to Alex. Tumango ito at nilipat ang mga gamit nila.

"If you want bro I can join you." Said Michael.

"Thanks bro. But I can do it." Tumango naman si Michael.

"Ganito na lang. Since you'll come back naman. We will wait for you guys here. At sabay sabay tayong maghanap ng safe na lugar." Logan said.

"Right! Aantayin namin kayo kahit gaano katagal. So far this deserted road looks safe kesa sa loob ng gubat." I agree.

"Okay! Wait for us. I promise we will be back safe and sound." Jeremy promised. He even fist bump all of us. A sign of a promise. "So I better get going para makabalik agad kami before mag gabi."

Tumango kami. He hugged all of us.

Papasok na sana ito sa sasakyan pero tinawag ito ni Alex.

"Incase hindi ka makabalik agad mamayang gabi we will wait until you came back."

Jeremy nodded. Sumakay na ito sa sasakyan at minaniobra pabalik sa dinaanan namin. Tinanaw lang namin siya hanggang sa mawala na ang likod ng kotse sa paningin namin.

Sighing. Sumandal ako sa harapan ng kotse at tumulala. Inaalala kung saan na napadpad sila Sam at Rona. Inaalala ko rin ang kapatid kong si Jayjay at ang kaibigan kong si Louie at Blake na hindi rin namin kasama. I hope they are all okay. Sana walang mangyaring masama sa kanila.

Napapitlag ako ng may dumantay sa balikat ko. Si Logan pala na umakbay sa akin.

"Don't worry too much." He said.

"I can't help it."

"Just think positive Kat. Walang mangyayaring masama sa kanila. Isipin mo na nasa ligtas silang lugar at walang mga lefters doon." Thinking about that positive scenario medyo gumaan ang pakiramdam ko.

I should continue to think positive the more I think of negative thoughts the more I get paranoid.

"Where's Aling Rosanna's body anyway?" I ask. Napansin ko kasing wala na yung katawan ni Aling Rosanna sa likod ng truck kanina noong naglilipat sila ng gamit.

"Mang Makoy throws it then he dived after. And yeah Mang Makoy's gone too."

"Yeah. Saw it from the side mirror. And I thought he's just the only one who got out from the truck."

"I think hindi niya kinaya ang pagkawala ni Aling Rosanna. He loves his wife so much. So he decided to take his life using those starved lefters."

"Its like love til death." I whisper.
