SHOOT ME


"It's never an easy thing to stand in front of you, it's like a thriller movie. Everything will be fine but one thing goes wrong and it all starts from there . . ."

I slowly opened my eyes when I felt someone was holding my small fragile hand. Pagkagising ng diwa ko, nakaramdam ako ng matinding sakit mula saking likod at ramdam ko rin na may pumisil ng aking kamay na para bang sinasabi niyang nandito lang siya sa tabi ko.

I moved my body heavily at ramdam ko ang kirot mula sa likod ko. I saw lots of blood gushing out from both of our dying bodies. Nakita ko ang mapupungay niyang mata na nakatitig sakin habang ang dalawang kamay niya na puno ng dugo ay nakahawak ng mahigpit sakin kamay.

I gently touched the scars of his right cheek while looking at his eyes painfully.

"I' m so sorry, Marie. Hindi ko nagawang protektahan ka sa abot na aking makakaya." He said, trying not burst out any tears.

"I know, at least magkasama tayong mamamatay." Makahulugan kong sabi.

"Yeah . . ."

He then drew closer to me kahit nahihirapan na siyang gumalaw. The coldness of the floor made me shivered in pain.

"It will be my honor to be at your service." He smiled, painfully.

Ngumiti ako ng pilit habang hinintay na magkalapt ang mga labi namin.

-- The End --


"Just shoot toward me, that's better anyway. I'm so used to this now. If this makes you feel better, just shoot me. Shoot me . . ."
