"What are you doing here ?" tanong niya while I stared at him. 



"E-Ehh... Hindi ko din alam." tugon ko.



"Anong hindi mo alam ? Ano, napunta ka lang dito ? This area is restricted to officials only !"



"Eh biglang may tumulak sakin..."



"So ? Leave now then."



"See, that's the problem. I can't leave."



"Why ? Sheesh... you're wasting my time." bumababa siya sa kinatatayuan niyang hagdan. "Come on, do you really want me to do this ? Are girls nowadays so desperate to get a hold of me ?" kinuha niya ang kamay ko and started to drag me. Ang lamig ng mga daliri niya. It was like freezing cold.



"Are you crazy ? Sinong nagsabing may gusto ako sayo ?"



"Ang ingay. You're one of them, right ?"



"One of them ?" his grip was strong as steel. Hindi ako makawala.



"The girls. The crazy ones that always hang out where I am."



"Hindi. I am not one of them nor do I have any interest in you." I'm sure now that my wrist is starting to hurt.



"Yeah, yeah... Just go out. I still need to do something."



"I said I can't." binato ko siya ng maraming angal but he didn't listen. Patuloy lang siyang naglalakad hawak-hawak ang kaliwang kamay ko.



He faced the door, not even letting me go. He tried the handle but it didn't budge. The look of confusion washed over him. He tried once again pero wala talaga, just like what happened earlier to me.



"What did you do ? We're locked !" 



"Sabi ko sayo, I was just pushed here. Wala talaga akong intensyon mapunta rito."



 I heard a small grunt escape from his mouth. He was frustrated. "It's locked from the outside. We can't get out."



"I already know that."
