TERRY POV
I keep staring at his back. Alam kong we were following Rian and Roy pero hindi ba sia hihinto? We just enter the border of Egypt like nothing! We are like entering the greatest empire of the ancient history?!
Napahigpit ang hawak ko sa damit nia. Wala akong Identification tablet na dala. I am not even an egyptian. Pano ako makakapasok sa loob of our neighboring kingdom unscratched. Will this be my end? Will I never find Mary again? Will---
"Excuse me..."
I flinch nung narinig ko ang boses nung bantay. I hid my face on his back.
"She's clingy. I need to run back to an inn bago pa ako magkalat dito."
I heard some door opening... Are they just going to pass that easily? Ng hindi ako tinitingnan? Sa dami ng bases ng pagbisita namin ng kapatid ko nuon sa national museum of Egypt during 2020 nasaulo na ko ang lahat ng nakasulat dun.
Egypt has one of the cruelest gate border. Kapag hindi nila nakitaan ng identification or notice of arrival, you were either pushed away or drag into bars. It was well written in the stone tablet. I don't think I misread it.
Hindi ako pwedeng magkamali. I even learn the hieroglyphics just to read those words. Both what the scribe and the upper class use. Kaya nasisigurado kong Egypt border guards should be one of the cruelest here in desert! But how did he slip pass on those guards.
I tried to look on the border guards. At sa gulat ko, they are even bowing on him? Why?
Just who are you?
Moments later ay dahan dahang tumigil ang kabayo. At the middle of road where no one is around, he jump out of the horse. He guide it to a well and made it drink. Nakatitig lang ako sa kanya. Walang umiimik sa aming dalawa.
"Now, your here in Egypt I guess we are even"
Hindi agad ako nakaimik. He was staring back on me. Hindi ko alam kung hanggang saan ko pwedeng gamitin ang pride nila. But this is now or never. I can't even read his face or actions. Isa lang ang alam ko, the moment this man left me, it was the time I will completely lost Mary.
"How come? I said there not here?! Dun sa lugar kung saan dinala ang kaibigan ko"
A cold breeze was brushed into my skin, I found myself shaking while saying those words. Sa hiya ko, ako ang napaiwas sa titig. He didn't say any words. The next thing I knew, he hop back on the horse.
"Stop playing word games with me."
Para akong binuhusan ng tubig. Did I crossed the line in there? But he didn't gave me a definite answer. I tried to peek on his face. Somethings telling me he's annoyed. Ngunit hind niya naman ako pinababa, ni hindi naman niya ako tinaboy.
