I was in a deep slumber when I feel a cold hands touching my shoulders.
Para bang niyuyugyog ako para magising ako kaya naman minulat ko ang mga mata ko only to be greeted by Ava.
"Why?"- I asked sleepily
Biting her lower lip naupo sya sa tabi ko at sinuklay ang buhok nya.
"I'm sorry to wake you up. I just want you to come with me"- mahina nyang sabi habang pinaglalaruan ang mga daliri nya.
Inangat ko ang katawan ko at sumandal sa headboard ng kama.
"Come with you? At this hour?"- takang tanong ko sa kanya.
Alam kong gabi na kaya san kami pupunta?
She look at me sideways and nodded her head slowly.
"I know it's kinda late but I just.. if you don't want to , then it's fine"- she said at aalis na sana sa kama pero pinigilan ko sya sa braso nya.
"I'm going"- sabi ko at inalis ang comforter ko at bumaba na sa kama.
She's wearing her nighties at kinuha nya ang silkrobe nya at isinuot iyon.
Kinuha kona man ang jacket ko at sinuot iyon.
I tied my hair up while she just let her hair cascade down on her back.
"Bring your phone"- she said at may hawak syang maliit na flashlight.
She hold my hand and drag me outside the room.
She gesture me to shut up while we are making our way downstairs.
Papunta na kami sa backdoor ng pigilan ko sya.
"Where exactly are we going?"- I asked
She look around first bago ako sinagot sa mahinang boses.
"There's a river nearby"
"And?"
"Of course we're going there"
"By sneaking out?, how sure are you na hindi tayo susundan?"
"Just shut up and everything will be fine"- she hissed at hinila na ulit ako.
She slowly open the backdoor at lumabas na kami.
Nilagpasan namin ang swimming pool at tinungo ang gate na hindi mo aakalain na gate dahil puno ito ng dahon at bulaklak.
Binuksan nya iyon at tuluyan na kaming nakalabas sa bahay.
Tinahak namin ang daan papunta sa mapunong parte ng villa.
Hindi naman masukal ang daan kaya okay lang maglakad.
Medyo malamig din ang simoy ng hangin.May mga bituin pero walang buwan.
Binuksan na ni Ava ang ilaw ng malapit na kami sa madilim na part.
She hold my hand I can sense that she's smiling even tho it's dark
"Wag kang matakot. Nandito ako"- she assured making me lose my tense.
"Ano bang nahithit mo?"
"Huh?"- she asked confused.
"Wala"
Malayo na kami sa bahay at hindi ko alam kung nasundan ba kami o hindi.
Nakarinig ako ng agos ng tubig at maya maya lamang huminto kami sa isang malaking puno.
"Nandito na tayo"- she said at nilahad sakin ang puno.
"What's in here?"- takang tanong ko.
"Tsk, look up my love"- she replied at tinutukan ng ilaw ang taas ng puno.
