🎶Sumakay ako sa jeepney~🎶
Charr lang.
Habang ako'y naglalakad sa isang madilim na gabi ay may nakita akong lalaking nakaputi. Kaya naman ay bigla akong kinabahan baka kung anong gawin nito sakin.
Ngunit habang ako'y papalapit sa kanya ay para itong umiiyak, kahit nanginginig ang tuhod ko ay nilapitan ko ito sabay tanong, "a-ahm, kuya, gabi na ho, baka gusto niyo ng umuwi?" 'anong klaseng tanong yun Jihan?'
"Please, help me find my body..." he said while crying.
"Jebal, I'm begging you, please help me" paulit ulit na sabi niya.
"Help me find my body." Sabi niya at ako naman ay hindi maisip kung anong dapat kung sabihin, takot na ako mga bhi3. Tulungan niyo ko.
Bigla siyang tumayo at lumapit sakin, kaya naman ay dali dali akong tumakbo, lumingon ako sa likod para tignan kung nasan siya ng pagharap ko ay bigla akong nauntog sa poste.
"Tanginang poste ka, bat ka pa pinanganak?" sabi ko bago mawalan ng malay.
