I woke up from a deep slumber because of my throbbing head. Napapikit ako sa sobrang sakit at pilit itinayo ang sarili. My eyes scanned the whole place, wondering what happened.
Where am I? Did I hit the truck?
Oh right! Silly me. Why would I hit the truck? The truck must hit me. Tsk!
Pero teka, nasaan nga ba ako? Bakit wala akong makitang tao? Isang dagat ang nasa harapan ko at sa likod naman ay puro kakahuyan.
I can hear the smashing of waves in the ocean hitting the white sand. I was dazzled by the ray of sunlight as my heart flabbergasted with the fact that I don't know where I am. The blue waters were such a pleasure in my eyes as I look at it.
But why am I on an island? Who brought me here? Na-kidnap ba ako? Did the owner of the truck try to abduct me so that I can't tell their crimes to the police?
Uh! My mind is filled with negative thoughts on how the hell did I end up here. Baka nag-umpisa na ang klase namin sa first subject! Ayoko pa naman ang um-absent dahil bawas iyon sa grade ko.
Natatakot ako... natatakot ako dahil mag-isa lang ako sa islang ito. Ang pinaka-ayaw ko pa naman sa lahat ay mag-isa. My parents left me alone at a very young age. Imagine the pain and heartbreak I felt when they passed away. Ayoko nang maramdaman ulit iyon ngayon.
Hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko kung paano makabalik sa lugar namin. Wala ni isang bangka na maari kong gamitin at wala rin akong dalang cellphone para hingian ng tulong.
I'm still wearing my uniform and I needed to go back as soon as possible. Baka mamatay ako rito nang walang nakaka-alam.
But then, who will cry when I die? I guess, no one. Wala naman kasing nagmamahal sa akin. Auntie Jamara would probably be happy about it. Wala nang salot sa buhay niya. Wala na siyang poproblemahin na pakainin at pag-aralin.
I was about to go near the woods when my eyes saw a man lying down near the rock formations. My heart started beating so fast. Napasinghap ako at naestatwa sa mismong kinatatayuan.
What if that man was the one who abducted me? What am I going to do?
My eyes widened in shock when the man tried getting up from lying down. He tried to go near me when he saw me.
"Huwag kang lalapit!" sigaw ko na siyang ikinagulat niya. I was being meticulous at the moment since I am being careful that he might be the one who brought me here.
Kumunot ang noo niya. "C-cora?"
Biglang bumilis ang paghinga ko. Nanginginig ako sa takot dahil baka ito na ang katapusan ko. Sinadya niya ba na alamin muna ang pagkatao ko bago ako kidnapin? Isa ba siya doon sa mga kidnappers na binebenta ang mga internal organs para magkapera?
No!
"Bakit k-kilala mo ako?" My voice was shaking in fear.
