I walked on my way home from work. It was 9:20 in the evening and any types of vehicles no longer passed by. The road was too dark that it really sent shivers to my spine. I hate dim places for I always think there would be a snake moving slowly near my feet.
❝Wetweew!❞ A group of men seating ahead whistled and I felt being humiliated.
❝Miss, hatid na kita?❞
❝Ang ganda mo, pwede pa-kiss?❞
They said in unison. I walked fast to pass by them, but one of those freaking men held my right arm.
❝Ang arte arte mo naman! Porket maganda, hindi namamansin!❞
❝Bitawan mo ako, gago! Gusto mo ba ipapa pulis kita ha?❞
❝'To naman. Kunting bagay lang naman ang hinihingi ko sa'yo eh.❞ He said. With that, I handed him my shoulder bag which contains 7,000 pesos, cellphone and a laptop. But he shook his head.
❝Hindi 'yan! Halikan mo ako.❞
❝Ano?❞ Gulat akong napasigaw. Nagpupumiglas ako at sinubukang kumawala ngunit mahigpit ang pagkakahawak nila sa akin.
❝Halik o kamatayan?❞ Nanlaki ang aking mga mata nang bunutin ni Warren ang baril mula sa kanyang likod. They were my classmates in high school, but they're doing this to me.
❝Pumili ka na! Halikan mo ako o gusto mo nang mamatay?❞
I was shaking with so much nervous. I was confused. I couldn't think properly as to how was I going to escape from the situation. Never would in my life I kiss a man who now lacks more than two teeth. Hinding hindi ko hahalikan 'yung crush kong kinababaliwan ko noon na bungi na ngayon at naghahabul sa akin just because of what I've achieved in life.
