"Who sent you here?"I tried not to recoil at the sound of his voice and the cold barrel of a gun pointed on my forehead. Nanlilisik ang mga mata niya habang nakatingin sa'kin ng masama.
Like there was a lump in my throat, I was not able to say any word to him. Umatras ako para makalayo sa kanya ngunit patuloy niya akong sinundan habang nakatutok pa rin ang baril sa noo ko. Alam kong isang kalabit lang niya would be the end of me. Hindi ko pa tuluyang nagagawa ang misyon ko so I will not allow that to happen.
Napansin kong naghihintay pa rin siya sa magiging sagot ko. Well, you won't be getting any answers from me, bastard!I moved my hand swiftly to reach for the gun hidden inside the back of my shirt. When I grasped it in my hands, I swung it at his gun to disarm him. He was too flabbergasted to react immediately. Then, he recovered from his shock saka hinablot iyong palapulsuhan ko. Pakiramdam ko mababali iyong braso ko kaya nabitawan ko ang hawak kong baril when he twisted my arm behind. I used my feet to kicked his shins kaya nabitawan niya ako.
I ran for my gun and I caught in the corner of my eye that he was doing the same. When I picked it up, itinutok ko iyon sa direction niya. But before I was able to pull the trigger, a gunshot echoed across the room.

***
May feelings na laging nandiyan, nakaabang kung kailan magpapapansin. Nakaabang kung kailan ako titisurin sa mga pamilyar na kanta, lugar, at salita. Magpapaalala sa isang mukha na hindi ko naman gano'n kakabisado pero pamilyar. Magpapaalala sa mga dating pakiramdam.
Malalaman mo raw kung sino ang The One That Got Away mo kapag narinig mo 'yong salita at nakaalala ka ng iisang tao lang; nakatisod ka ng mga dating pakiramdam; nangulila ka sa mga nakaraang saya; nakaalala ka ng mga pamilyar na sakit.
Sabi, time heals wounds at distance makes one forget. Bakit parang hindi naman effective? Bitbit ko pa rin lahat ng what if. Hindi pa rin ako makatakas sa maraming sana.
Ako ba ang bumitiw o siya? Tapos na ba kami talaga?
Ang sarap magtanong kaso...wala nga palang kami noon.
