***************************************************************************************

"Don't think of getting away after doing this to me." 

Na-confuse ako bigla. "I did this... to you? What do you mea—!" (°口°；) エッ！？

"Shut up and follow me."

Aba! May pagka-bastos naman ang lalaking ito. Di ko pa nga natapos ang pagsasalita nag-cut in siya agad! Ano man ang mangyari di ako sasama sa kanya! Ngayon lang kaya kami nagkita. Ang lakas naman ng hangin nya. Porke't utang ko sa kanya buhay ko mag-aalipin ako sa kanya?? Ano siya gwapo? Gwapo nga siya but that's not the case. I refuse! Order in the court!! 

┻━┻ ︵ヽ('□')ﾉ︵ ┻━┻

"I'm not going!" Sigaw ko sabay balibad ng kamay niya. "Thank you for saving my life, but I'm not going anywhere with a stranger!"

He furrowed his brows na parang yung mga salita na lumalabas sa bibig ko ay puro walang kabuluhan. "You're coming with me whether you like it or not!" 

"I don't even know you!"

Napabuntong-hininga siya na parang ilang taon na din siyang pagod na pagod.

"How I wish I can say the same for you too." Napatingin siya sa akin ng seryoso. His cerulean blue eyes that were once deep as an ocean turned into a lighter shade—like a raindrop, or a tear. Kahit ano man tawag dun, hindi ko na alam. Ang alam ko lang ay naging mapayapa ang puso kong kanina ay parang rumaragasang tren. Now, he didn't grab me or forcefully drag me to wherever he would take me. He just held out his hand and looked into my eyes, of which gave me a hard time from looking away. "Anyway, I'm not going to hurt you. So please..."

Ang normal na babae ay sisigaw ng tulong o tatakbo papalayo. Pero hindi ako isang normal na babae. Isa akong fangirl, pero isa rin akong dalaga! Kaya demure-effect muna.

Di niyo ba napapansin? Kapag gwapo at malinis ang kumausap sayo eh okay lang. Kilig pa nga eh. Pero kapag gusgusin tsaka pangit, dedmahan ang drama. Bakit kaya? (?(｡_。).｡o0O?？

Anyway, unbeknownst to my rational side, I placed my hand in his and we started walking. Now, I'm a lover of silence and peace... but this is going too far! Ilang minuto na kaya kaming naka-holding-hands-while-walking pero wala parin akong naririnig na word nor explanation galing sa savior ko. At bilang ako, di ko matatanggap yun!

"Where are we going?"

"You'll know when you get there."

"What's your name?"

Huminto siya at hinarap ako. Iniunat niya ang kanyang kamay at nung akala ko ay patatahimikin niya ako, kinuha niya ang scotch tape sa aking bag at nilagay iyon sa aking bibig. Teka! Pano niya nalaman na may dala-dala akong scotch tape?? ﾄﾞ━━━(ﾟﾛﾟ;)━━ﾝ!!

"You talk too much..."

"Mmpf! Mmmmmpf!!" o(>< )o ｏ( ><)oジタバタ

Kahit anong gawin ko di talaga ako makakuha ng matinong response sa taong ito! Hala... Could that truck accident be a premise for other worse things that will happen to me? Waaah! ヾ(;'Д'●)ﾉぁゎゎ 

Di ko na namalayan na sa lubluban na pala kami ng siyudad. As in puro buildings na lang talaga nakikita ko. Yuck! The putrid smell, the uncouth surroundings sicken me! Pano kasi ang polluted dito! We stopped at a random deserted door sa gitna ng napakaraming buildings. He opened the door and motioned me to come in.

In fairness, gentleman! Knowing I had nowhere to run, I went inside. Nothing out of the ordinary yung kwarto na pinasukan ko. That is if you ignore the coffins lying about, organs floating within a container filled with green, murky liquid, and body parts missing...well, a body! Where the heck am I?? I-embalsamo ba ako na buhay? Waaah! Ibalik mo ko sa truck driver! Doon na lang ako!!

"Good evening..." A dark voice suddenly greeted.

Then, out of the shadows, appeared a very suspicious person. Pano naman kasi nakasuot siya ng all black! Parang di siya masyado excited sa Halloween. Hello! It's still June, dude! Daig pa kasi si kamatayan kung maka-costume.

My savior sat me down, approached the mysterious guy and they started talking. Now, hindi ako chismosa but when my life is on the line I can't help but eavesdrop on their conversation.

&%@^#...

*@)#%$@^!!

Ha? Anong language ang ginagamit ng dalawang to? Alien?? Σ（｡･Д･｡）ｱﾝ?????????? 

((So you're here again, huh?)) Tumawa ang mystery guy.

My savior crossed his arms and snorted. ((Shut up and give me the goods.))

The mystery guy gave a small mock curtsy to my savior and disappeared within the shadows. Tapos na ba? Makakauwi na ba ako? That's what I thought nang bumalik ulit ung mystery guy. May dala-dala siyang small backpack na binigay sa savior ko. Aba... mukhang bigatin naman si savior. Kanina pa siya binibigyan ng mga bagay-bagay eh.

Pagkatapos niya kinuha yung backpack pinatayo ako ni savior and to my great relief umalis na kami sa lugar na yun. When we returned to where we first met, kinuha ni savior yung scotch tape sa bibig ko.

"Sino yun? Sino ka? Ano yan? Anong gagawin mo diyan—!" o(ﾟдﾟo≡oﾟдﾟ)o 

Tinapik niya ulit ang scotch tape sa bunganga ko.

"Could you please shut up so I can explain?"

Nang tumango ako na parang maamong aso, kinuha niya ulit ang scotch tape sa aking bibig at tiningnan ako ng seryoso. Nagtatanong lang eh... High blood kaagad! ヾ(ーー　) オイオイ

Umupo siya sa grassy slope sa tabi ng kalsada at may kinuhang vial sa backpack. Nilagay niya iyon sa kanyang bibig at ininom. After he did that, his appearance changed! His blonde hair turned black, his blue eyes became dark brown. Now, he looked like a normal part of our society. Kanina kasi parang 'porenjer' siya eh. Kulang na lang mag-salita siya ng lengguwahe namin at masasabi ko na he belongs!

And after a few seconds, bumalik ulit yung blonde hair and blue eyes nya.

"Wait..." He stared dumbly when I spoke. "Bakit ka bumalik sa pagiging porenjer? Don't you think you'll stand out kung ganyan ang hitsura mo?"

Ohhh~ I thought of something smart for once! Nginitian ko ang sarili ko. Mwehehehehehe! Akala mo wala akong common sense ha~

His only response was a long sigh. "Then, could you differentiate me from others even though we all look alike?"

Napa-step back ako. Gah! He has a point.

"Don't worry about it. This appearance is for your eyes only. Mukhang ordinaryo ako sa ibang tao." He replied with indifference. "Anyway, you want answers right? Masyadong matagal ang sasabihin ko kaya maupo ka muna."

Nang hindi pa ako umupo, kinuha niya ang kamay ko at hinila pailalim. Napa-upo ako sa tabi nya at sa hindi malamang dahilan hindi ako makatingin sa kanya. Waaaah! Gwapo kasi....

"Mahirap paniwalaan pero ako'y isang anghel. Yours in fact."

"My guardian angel?" (・_・)......ン？

Napatingin siya sakin, and by that look, he was surprised!

"Most humans would freak out or wouldn't believe it. Surprisingly, you're taking it well. I'm impressed."

"Ay, totoo ba ang sinabi mo?" 

（  ・・）..................    (・・？）

Then there was a long, awkward moment of silence between us.
