Pag tigil ko, naupo ako sa isa sa mga bench while umalis si Isaiah para bumili ng pagkain. Kakain nanaman sya tama kayo. Sa di kalayuan, parang may nakatingin sakin actually sa may foodcourt din sya.
Pinilit kong irecognize kung sino ba yun, nagawa ko naring lumingon sa kaliwa, kanan, at likod ko tapos wla namang nakaupo dito bukod sakin.
Napakamot ako sa ulo at nagtaka ng bonggang bongga. Tapos lumakad yung lalaki na kanina pa nakatingin dito.
Palapit na sya. Teka lang si………
Ah!!!! Binatak nya yung braso ko at kinaladkad ako sa likod ng COEng (College of Engeneering) building. Hala!!! HELP !! tulong! Kasukete!! Ano pa bang lengwahe?
"Hoy! Ano ba! Nasasaktan ako!!" I shout at him. Hindi ko mabatak yung braso ko. Masyado syang malakas. Anong gagawain nya sakin? Anong kasalanan ko sa kanya? Oh Lord. Mother earth. Bathala. Mga Justice League. Fantastic 4. Marvel and Capcom anyone! SAVE ME!!! FOR REAL!! 0_____0!!!
"Hoy!!!" sigaw ko ulit sa kanya, but he was still walking not even take a look at my worried beautiful face! Yan tayo eh! Sumeseg way pa ng banat, kita mo't napapahamak na ang bata.
Tapos binatak nya ko sa may isang pader sa building na yun. He was now holding my both shoulder at sinandal ako sa pader. Hindi ako makagalaw. Oh no! 0__0!
He was looking at me, tagus tagusan sa kaluluwa. Feeling ko mamatay ako sa titig nya. He was scary. As in superrrr 0____0. ISAIAH !! HELP ME! May luha na sa mga mata ko, medyo nangangatog na ko.
He's still silent, still killing me with his fierce and sharp stare.
"You're busted! Stupid!!" sabi nya sakin with a very cold tone
"What….what..are you----"
"Shut the fuck up!" he shouts at me, his eyes was still fix on mine
"What do you want?!!" I shout at him back
"Don't tell me, you're still going to play dumb after what you've heared a while ago" he's grinning his teeth now on anger, and almost pinching my shoulders. I winced in pain at lalo na paluha
Yung…. He…. He saw me?
"What are you talking about you FREAK!!" and I try to release on his hands but failed. He pushed me against the wall and put his face inches away on mine
"I was talking about you. You're eavesdropping!"
"WHAT?? I'm not!"
"at tatanggi ka pa!"
"Wla kang ebidensya!!!"
"I saw your stupid face before walking away"
"WHAT?"
Maya maya pa. my stupid phone rings
'you're on the phone with your girlfriend she's upset'
OH MY GOD!!! I'M TOTALLY BUSTED
"Looks like you're cellphone's my evidence"
"What a soul freak lier we got here" sabi pa nya and he presses my shoulder and I winced in pain
"I……I didn't mean to…" tapos napaluha na lang ako. Natatakot ako, natatakot ako, please help me
"Don't even think about na ipagkalat yung narinig mo kanina. Kilala ako dito as a handsome fearless guy. At hindi ako napapaluha ng babae." and he put his face malapit sa may ears ko then whispered. "I own this school. And if you do something bad against my will. YOU'RE DEAD. Understand?"
Hindi na ko nakausap. I'm just gasping, with fear, with my shaking body, with my wet face. I pushed him hard and try to run as fast as I could just to get out of him. Who is he? Ang taong walang reaksyon nung nabunggo ako, ang taong ansaya saya pag binabati ang mga tao at ang taong ang galing magperform (oo na, magaling sya) eh ganto. Nakakatakot sya, halimaw sya. He's a freak, a devil, a monster.
As I run, I saw Isaiah. Lilinga linga tapos hawak ang phone nya na nakatapat sa tenga nya. He looks so worried. Kinuha ko yung cell phone ko sa bulsa ko at sinagot sya. Sya ang tumatawag
"He…hello" I answered him, with my shaking voice
"Saia? Asan ka?" tanong nya, he was worried, the way he asked me.
"……"
"Saia?"
Hindi na ako makasagot. Nanginginig ako sobra. Then napalingon sya sa may COEng building kung nasan ako. Nakita nya ako then he run. Matutumba na ko, para akong nakakita ng halimaw kanina eh.
Hindi ko na makontrol yung katawan ko and before I past out. Isaiah catch me, then he look at me with a worried face. He was scared, he's shaking me.
"Saia" he holds my both cheeks and tap it
"Saia. What happened? Saia!!!" he was now shouting at me
Tapos narealize ko na lang, nakayapos na ako sa kanya at umiiyak. Hindi ako nag sasalita, hindi ko sya sinasagot despite the fact that I can hear him calling my name and asking me what the hell happened.
===
"Ok ka na ba?" tanong nya sakin habang binubuksan yung bottled water
I nod then get the water and drink. Medyo nabuhay na ako. Nasa mundo nako. What happened?
As I scan the place, konti na lang ang estudyante. Yung iba tambay na lang.
"I'll get you home na para makapag pahinga ka" he carried my bag at inalalayan nya ko paglalakad.
"Don't even think about na ipagkalat yung narinig mo kanina. Kilala ako dito as a handsome fearless guy. At hindi ako napapaluha ng babae."
"I own this school. And if you do something bad against my will. YOU'RE DEAD. Understand?"
I still remember his tone while saying those words. I have no idea kung ano ang gagawin nya once na may pagsabihan ako. As if naman na iririsk ko ang buhay at kaluluwa ko sa napaka korning dahilan. OO korni! Ang babaw nung kapreng yun! But then again, private issue yun between them ONLY at malamang yun ang kinagagalit nya talaga.
Wala kang nakita, wala kang narinig at HINDI MO SYA KILALA OK SAIA MARIE?? Intyendes??
