ESCAPE or DIE (The Rest Room)

3.

Victim's POV

"Ah-ah ouch" Geez ang hirap talagang matulog sa masikip na lugar manhid na manhid ang binti ko dahil sa pagkakabaluktot makahanap lang ng maayos na pwesto.

Wait?

Umaga na ba? Pero bakit madilim pa din? at kung mas titignan ay mas kumonti ang liwanag ng paligid.

Unti unti kong binuksan ang pinto at agad na kinuha ang baso na may kandila. As I check the place I saw something new.

Posporo? "Pa-papaanong nagkaron ng posporo dito?" Tanong ko sa sarili ko habang nagtataka pa din.

OH MY GOD!

Nakita ko ang dahilan kung bakit dumilim ng sobra. Nakita kong may nakaharang na bigla sa bintana na para bang sadyang nilagay at takpan.

Agad namang mas gumulo para sakin ang mga pangyayari. Bakit bigla nagkaron ng harang sa bintana? bakit may posporo?

"Damn? Ano bang-" Napako ang atensyon ko sa isang plastic na may lamang tatlong food box na nakalagay sa pinaka baba ng bintana at kung papansinin ay parang hinulog ito mula sa bintana.

I walked towards the plastic and I saw a piece of paper.

DON'T LET ANYONE SEE YOU. KEEP SAFE.

Is this a sort of advice? Who the is this person? Damn! But geez! I need to eat! Kailangan kong tipirin to.

I started to eat when I remember something.

*FLASHBACK*

Muli kong iniangat ang ulo ko at napapansin ko na ngayon na mas nagiging wild ang paligid. Kung kanina isa lang ang nakahubad ngayon halos lahat na ng strip dancers.

Well look at the boys. They look like stupids. Sh*t! Everytime I open my eyes I feel uncomfortable because of the lights.

"Hey?" Who is he? Is he talking to me? "Talking to me?" I answer without looking at him and continue to close my eyes "Don't sleep. Just stay awake." He said with authority "Who are you to give orders to me ey?" Tss. Your not a boss and damn! I feel so sleepy and there is my friend and I know they wont leave me.

such a disturb

"Trust me" What? Hes still here? And now I open my eyes but I just saw a figure of man who's walking away.

"Tss. Trust ey?" A smile forms into my face thinking that the guy was insane or something.

*End of flashback*

"Ouch!" Napahawak ako sa ulo ko dahil bigla itong kumirot. Great! Daig ko pamay amnesia ha.

Trust? Anong ibig niyang sabihin dun. Hays! Dapat kasi tinignan ko siya e! Sino ba kasi siya?

Subukan ko kayang buksan ulit ang pinto? Pero paano? Kumapa kapa ako sa katawan at damit ko. Pagbibigay tsansa saking may makuhang pwedeng gamitin pagbukas ng pinto. Pagkakapa ko sa ulo ko ay nakuha ko ang hair pin ko.

Hindi na masama. Pwede na to. Tinahak ko agad ang pintuan dala dala ang pag asang mabubuksan ko ito. I try to fit the hair pin to the door knob trying to find the right angle to take off its locked.

"Damn it!!" I shout as I lost my patience and leaned myself to the door

("Do you fcking hear that bro?") An evil sound of voice was enter into my ear
("Yeah! Tingin ko may nakalusot satin") Another different voice.

("WHEREVER YOU ARE BITCH WE WILL FIND YOU!!") I heared footsteps outside the rest room. Damn! Bakit hindi ko naramdang may tao sa labas? at tsaka bakit ganun? Anong gagawin nila?

I'm shaking because of the nervousness I'm feeling right now. I can't stand to my foot to hide. What do I do now?

("Hey! Maybe it's not there? How come it will be there? We checked all the areas here right?") That-that voice. It-it sounds familiar.

("Nah! I think it came from here") The other guy said. No it's not here! Maniwala ka sa kasama mo! I said through my mind.

("Seriously? Are we going back there again? I'm tired men and I think lunch are ready") The other guy said, damn I really heared that voice somewhere else. Wait. Lunch? So ibig sabihin maliwanag na sa labas.

("Tss. Let's go") Yes! Go away! Yes! Nakahinga ako ng maluwag ng marinig ko ang mga yabag ng paa nilang papalayo. I take more than 5 minutes bago ako bumalik sa loob ng cubicle room.

Saan ko nga ba narinig ang boses ng lalaking yun? I really need to know where I hear that voiced.

Ngayon kailangan ko munang makahanap ng bagay na pwedeng magamit pangbukas ng pinto.
