The Way You Look At Me (VA Series 2)

Twenty Second

Joerish

Ryseann already warned me not to go somewhere else just to find that freaking signal in the middle of this freaking night! I just wanted to text my Mom and inform her that I was totally doing great, pero wala! The least thing I wanted to happen is to make her worry. I am a little bit relieved that my boyfriend messaged her for me. That's such a sweet thing to do. Pero iba pa rin sana if I was the one who called her. Or kahit text man lang sana.

Omg! I can't really survive in the bundok!

I just focused on cooking since it's what Ryseann wanted me to do. Mamaya the food doesn't turned out to be delicious, ako pa ang ma-blame. I'll do my best since tomorrow, hindi na ako ang in-charge sa pagluluto ng breakfast.

Nagulat ako nang biglang may kumaluskos sa ilalim ng lutuan. What was that?!

"Oh my gosh, it's a dog! Whose dog is this?!" Gulat kong sambit.

"Hey doggie, what's your name?" I asked again.

I went nearer to that dog pero mukhang natakot pa siya. Malapit ko na sana siyang hawakan kung hindi lang siya tumakbo papalayo. Oh my gosh! Where will it go?! The dog has a breed at mukhang pinepet talaga siya. It wasn't just a stray dog na naligaw lang dito sa camp.

Why did that dog ran into the woods?!

Oh my gosh, hindi pwedeng wala akong gawin. I decided to follow the dog since nakikita ko pa naman siya. I brought my cellphone and opened the flashlight in it. That's the only way na magkakaroon ako ng ilaw ngayon.

"Hey doggie! Don't go farther! Hoy, you're so makulit! You might get lost!" I shouted.

Hays... I wish the dog could understand me!

"You're such an headache! I wonder sino ang amo mo!" I shouted again.

I ran faster para lang maabutan yung dog but what I didn't expected was the next things that happened. Hindi ko alam na may malaking ugat na nakaharang pala sa way, so I was tripped by it at nadapa! Bwisit!

"Ouch!" I checked on my foot. "Oh gosh, it's bleeding!"

Lumapit bigla sa akin yung aso at naupo. The dog was looking at me pa nga! Now, naaawa siya sa akin ngayon! Ugh! I pat the dog's head kaya mas lalo siyang dumikit sa akin. Maybe the dog became afraid kasi na-realize niya na tumakbo siya in the middle of the woods.

Oh right, we're in the middle of the woods.

What?!

Bigla akong napatayo at napalinga-linga sa paligid. Fuck, fuck! Anong lugar na ito?! My gosh, hindi ko na matanaw yung camp! Shit! Where am I? Omg! Am I lost in the woods?! Am I? With this dog?

Shit, natataranta na ako.

Natatakot na ako.

Naiiyak!

"Kasalanan mo ito. Now, how are we going to get back?!" I can't help but to blame the dog.

Lumapit sya ulit sa akin at naupo. I think the dog's sorry naman.

"Oh my gosh! How are we going to get back?! Oh my gosh, I'm gonna call Ryseann. He'll find me for sure. I'm sure of that."

I dialed for his number but I just ended failing. This place is so devastated! Walang signal! What kind of fuckery is this?! Ugh!

How am I suppose to get back?

Am I really lost in the woods?

No!
