WHAT would you do if you face a death-like-scenario out of a sudden? Would you go run for help? Or scream so loud until your esophagus breaks?
I was thinking an answer to the question but got no choice in the end. Obviously, neither of the two will do good. The people I would call for help will just think of me as a crazy young lady taking drugs. Because why? Well, just because everyone's like that. Lalo na 'pag may edad na. Tsaka kaunti lang ang mga teens sa lugar dito. And also the fact na medyo madilim na at wala naman din masyadong tao.
Lumingon ulit ako sa likod ko. Hindi pa naman umaatake ang mga nasa loob ng van but I don't really know kung kailan. I made myself ready in case.
The CYAN Company is the company where the laboratory rival of PIO Lab (Io's Lab Company), which is the CYAN Lab was established. Since day 1 after Io started to program, the Cyantists were already after him. They wanted to steal the country's first ever AI program from the Pioneers. I don't know why tho.
I heaved a deep sigh before looking back at the vans. I feel nervous right now. Tinignan ko si Io na busy sa pagkalikot sa harap ng isang virtual monitor.
"Anong ginagawa mo?"
"I'm trying to ring all the technologies, my creator possess. Unfortunately, I can't access the lab's business number, that's why ." I hissed and massage my temple. I'm in a great mess.
Just very great. Ano na lang ang mangyayari pag nakauwi ako sa bahay ni lola? Si kuya, bubungangaan na naman ako kesyo ang tagal ko nauwi kahit naglakad lakad lang. Pano bang di tatagal eh nagchange route si Io eh hindi ko na alam saan to pero sabi niya dapat daw nasa national highway kami na may maraming tao para daw wala silang gawin. Hindi pa nga sure kung makakauwi ba talaga.
"Fudge." I said almost a whisper.
"Hang on there Majesty, I already have a solution."
Ilang minuto ang nakalipas pero hindi ko parin alam kung anong solusyon ang sinasabi ni Io. Unti unti nang lumalapit ang mga vans sa direksyon ko. I almost scream for help but then to my surprise tumigil sila sa harap ko... mga 5 meters away.
My heart is palpitating that I can almost hear my heartbeats. I was going to close my eyes when Io stood in front of me and is trying to cover me up from the Cyantists. Despite the danger I am facing right now, I still managed to chuckle. It was clearly a stupid move. It's not like they can see Io.
"Anong mangyayari Io? Will they abduct me na ba? Lintek!" Huli na nang marealized ko na medyo pabebe ako sa part na yun. Ano ba itong mga iniisip ko.
"Hey kalma, kalma. They won't lay a hand on you Majesty. I made sure of it."
"What? I mean why? No no no no, how?"
I asked but he never bothered to answer. Kumibit balikat ako hanggang sa namalayan ko na lang na papaalis na sa harap ko ang mga vans at nagsimulang mag backing.
I gave Io a confused face and he just smiled. What the hell did he do? Tuluyan nang nakaalis ang mga vans. Io grabbed my wrist as he pulled me beside him.
"Are you okay?"
"Goodness gracious Io. Paano ako magiging okay eh muntik na akong maabduct ng mga letcheng Cyantists? At ikaw? Ano bang ginawa mo at napaalis mo sila ng ganon. Ano ba ang solusyong ginawa mo at kumalma ka? Parang kanina lang ay pinapatakbo mo ako." Sunod sunod kong tanong kay Io.
"You should at least thank me first." Sagot niya kaya tinapunan ko siya ng matalim na tingin.
"Seryoso kasi ako. Well, thank you pero totoo ha... muntik na kaya ako dun."
