"Please babe... Don't do this to me!" pagmanakaawa ng isang lalaking hindi ko kaano-ano na biglang lumapit habang naglalakad ako sa mall.
"What the heck?!" I let out a confused look. "I don't even know you!" naglakad ako ng mabilis para makalayo sa baliw na lalaking 'yon. Baka mistaken identity lang.
"Babe, please! Pag-usapan natin to. Don't run away from me." hinabol nya ako at naglakad ako ng mas mabilis. Kung lakad pa ba ang tawag dun. Basta all I knew was kailangan kong humingi ng tulog sa guards. O kahit kanino. This man is insane!
Tumakbo na ako pero naramdaman kong may humigit sa braso ko.
"Babe, let's talk this out. We can still fix this." sabi nya habang nakahawak yung isang kamay nya sa tuhod at hinihingal pa rin. "Sumabay ka nalang pwede?" he said between his breaths. His face was a mixture of annoyed and pleading.
"Who the fvck are you?!" I tried to remove his grip from my arm, but he's too strong. Sakto naman na may paparating na guard. "GUARD! GUARD! MAY NAKAPASOK NA BALIW DITO!" I didn't care if I got everyone's attention. Alam kong gumagawa na ako ng eksena. I was going berserk. All I knew was I was scared to death. He might be a kidnapper for all I know!
Agad na pumito ang guard at pinuntahan kami.
"Shit." I heard him mutter under his breath as he facepalmed himself.
"Anong nangyayari dito ma'am." tanong ni manong guard. I came back to my senses and became fully aware na pinagtitinginan na kami ng lahat ng tao sa mall. Nakalabas yung phones ng karamihan. I can see their cameras flashing at nagvivideo pa yung iba. And everything slowly sinked in.
Oh. My. Gosh.
"Shit." I said under my breath.
