I ran as far as I can.
"I am not gonna die, not ever, not today." I whispered to my self with a barely audible voice. I tried to be confident with this statement, but in this condition, I doubt it.
So many questions kept ringing on my head: Who's behind this nefarious act? Why would they do this? Is there hope in this world? How can I live without my parents?
I collapsed. No one is following me now. People tend to make things for one's benefit despite of the losses. Even if they have to step on someone, they will do it. Why would someone kill my family? We were just a peaceful family living a peaceful life. Are my parents hiding secrets from me?
I wanted someone to comfort me, someone whom I can ask all my question and answer it accurately. Someone who can love me and guide me through everything. Someone who will accept my mistakes and teach me. Many people think that this someone could be God, could he? Even if he does love me and has mercy, can he make me a successful woman? That I am not certain.
Oh come on! Now I'm blaming god for my adversities. I know I could be all demanding sometimes, but now I need to start depending on myself.
I was lying there, on the sidewalk, crying. Trembling horribly. Thinking about my life, my mom, my dad. Our happy moments together when we went to disney land, they gave me all my demands yet I haven't paid them back. I was this brat, who never realized how important my parents are to me.
I was mentally and physically exhausted. Soon, weariness took over me and I fell asleep.
I dreamt about being in a cage, helplessly watching me parents being shot, again and again. I don't know who makes dreams but it needs a smack in the face.
*blinks* "where the heck am I?" I asked, completely forgetting about what just happened today. It flashed through me, the horrors of today. Tears formed on my eyes. "No no no, it's just a dream, it must be" I said desperately but know it isn't. I started to cry, again.
When I finally stopped. I scanned my surroundings, few houses, all lightless. Must me midnight. My long blacked hair is a debacle! It was ruined. Never mind about that, I thought.I looked at my phone and saw that it's already 12:39.
Oh good, I must've embarrassed myself, you know, sleeping on the sidewalk for 13 hours. Good Thing no one saw me, well I mean they all turned a blind eye on me. That's what people do these days right?
Wait something else was on my phone, a message saying "Avenge us" from my mother.
I walked home assuming there was no nuke threatening to blow up the whole Manila City.
