Kasalukuyan akong nakatingin sa langit habang pinapakiramdaman ang aking paligid. Napakatahimik ngayon, ang tanging naririnig ko lang ay ang huni ng mga ibon.
This used to be a lively city but it feels like a ghost town rightnow. No one can go out unless if you're part of the government or military.
Unfortunately I'm part of this administration. Why unfortunate? For we are not even properly compensated while we are working with our lives being risk in danger.
"Ma'am, aalis na daw tayo" a military man told me. I pick up my things and put my gloves and mask on. I'm so sick of it.
"You have to be aware June, our target area for today is risky." Dave told me. He is part of the military and I've been working with him for 2 months now.
Our team, is composed of 2 girls and 4 military men. Dave, who serves as their leader, he is good in hand combat and his shooting skills is really good, he is a navy. Leo, an airborne kaya mahangin din but I should say he is good too. Carl, who is always silent. Tristan who is so clever. The other girl is Marie, she has a 4 year old son from her husband Aries who died from an encounter. She's a nurse and she choose to be part of this team to continue her husbands work. She is just 29. And me, I got nothing special that's why I'm wondering why I am here.
We are working for peace and development. And my task is simply to bargain to those people who turn their back to the government.
"Don't worry Dave I am not stupid, or if I die I don't care. I'm so sick of it anyway" sabi ko dito
"You really have a foul mouth. Last time muntik na tayong mapahamak because of your tactics" sumbat ni Leo saakin.
"Ako ba ang nagpahamak? As far as I know, I already convinced them. Ikaw tong gumagawa ng kababalaghan. Is it my fault if I was shock to saw you doing something to the Leader's daughter? Hindi ka makapagpigil?" sagot ko naman dito
"Kung hindi ka kasi sana sumigaw, OA nito. Don't tell me hindi ka pa nakakakita ng ganun" sabi nanaman nya. Ayaw talaga patinag
"Of course not. What I am saying is pwede ba hinay hinay muna? You can have all the girls you want if we went back to the city."
"Kailan pa? Unless you want us to do it. I also have a need you know" proud na proud pa nitong sabi.
Hindi ko namalayang nasampal ko na pala sya. I am so mad and I feel disrespected rightnow
"Fuck" he cursed
"You want we to cut your hotdog?" sabi ko dito bago ako lumayo sa kanya.
I saw Tristan and Carl smirking at Leo. I know what they are thinking. Kahit na tahimik silang dalawa alam kong pare parehas sila magisip.
"You never really get along" Dave whispered.
"Walang sex life" pahabol pa ni Leo.
"Kaya ganyan yan, wala kasing sex life"
I went near him and grab his collar. Let me play with you.
"Babe I have a very active sex life baka ikaw pa maunang mapagod. I know a lot of positions too and different things to pleasure a man. Want to try? I whispered. Nabato sya sa inuupuan nya.
I sit on his lap and I wrapped my hand around his neck.
" Oh? Bat di ka nagsasalita?" I asked him. I can feel his breathing became heavy.
I got up from my seat.
"Kaso di kita type. Ayoko ng kung sino sino ang pinapatulan baka makakuha pa ako ng sakit sayo."
I was about to turn when he grabbed me. Nawala ang balanse ko kung kayat napaupo ako pabalik sa kanya. He grabbed me by my waist and look at me seriously.
"What?" I asked him. But instead of answering my question he shut me with his mouth. I was paralyzed for a moment but as soon as I recovered I immediately push him away.
"what the hell!" I shouted but he just smirk.
"Sweet" he said before getting up from his seat.
Tiningnan ko ang mga kasama namin, they have the look of shocked on their face aside from Dave. He looks annoyed.
"Stop. Doing. Something. Stupid" he told us before leaving
"That was intense" komento ni Karl but I glared at him. He raised his two hands and smile.
"Chill June! It's just a kiss" sabi din ni Tristan
I glare at him too.
"Ngayon palang ganto na, can we be more focus on our main goal." sabi ni Marie.
Hindi ko nalang sila pinansin at medyo lumayo ako sa kanila. I put my earphones.
This is going to be a long travel. Sa aming anim they said I have the coldest heart. That's why even they, are wondering why I am part of this team at talagang ako pa ang Nagsisilbi ng tulay nila. I don't know what my boss saw in me bakit ako pa ang pinadala dito or maybe she is thinking that if I die no one will weep justice for me.
Naalimpungatan ako ng may maramdaman akong humahaplos saakin mukha.
"Tulog mantika ka talaga, were here for almost 30 minutes" it was Dave. Ever since Dave is the closest person to me sa team na ito aside from Marie. He is gentleman.
I smiled a bit at him before getting my things. It will be a long trail to reach our second destination. Our work entails our lives. Bawat isa sa team may mga reason kung bakit pumayag silang maging parte nito. Dave wants to prove something in his family, Leo even if he is so boastful wants to achieve a high rank, Karl wants to follow his brother's footstep, Tristan wants to experience something extra ordinary, Marie definitely wants to continue her husband's work and me? I just want peace.
I have a very unrealistic view that everything will go back to normal, that at the end of the day the goodness in each persons will prevail.
Bubuhatin na sana ni Dave ang gamit ko ng bigla ng sumingit si Leo saamin at kinuha ang mga dapat kong dalhin. He look so different from what he used to be.
"Let's go" he said showing no emotion.
I noticed Dave's lips turns into grim line before looking at me.
"Tara" sabi nito. Tumango ako at sumunod sa kanya.
I can feel this mission is not going to be easy.
