DUKE

"Ano ba! Hindi mo pag-aari ang daan! Tumabi ka kung ayaw mong masagasaan!"

I jump back apace on the side of the road, feeling alarmed. I felt so powerless; like a prey trapped in a predators' den. Confused, terrified, helpless; I don't know what to do.

looking up at my building, right across the road, erecting mighty in the middle of the bustling metropolis, I came to conceive vividly and be fully aware of how stately immense it is, indeed. There, it gives me hope and full determination. I'm just a few meters away from where I was standing. Just a few more walks, I'll be right there soon.

I tried taking another step but came another loud horn.

Beeeeeeeeeeeeep!

Next to it was a sound of a shrill whistle. It was sharp and surged with full authority.

"Takbo! May pulis!" I heard someone shouted in a hurry. I look to where it was and I saw two policemen running towards us. What did I do wrong? I'm not a criminal.

I saw the man who shouted at me was now running without minding how fast the approaching cars might hit him, but eventually, he was able to cross the road, safely.

I was about to run just like how he did but my life is too precious just to get hit by a car so I just froze and lifted both of my hands; besides, I did nothing wrong so why would I even have the need to run and get killed?

I just followed the order; I turned my back. "My apologies, officers, but as far as I'm concern, I know I did nothing wrong to capture mo this easy..."

"Talikod!"

"Hoy! 'wag mo kaming ma-ingles-ingles r'yan! Hindi mo kami maloloko! Siguro kasabwat mo 'yong nahuli namin noong nakaraang lingo 'no? Kay 'yong grupo ng mga snatcher. Hindi mo kami madadaan ngayon diyan sa mga pagmamakaawa at aba may nalalaman ka pang pa-ingles d'yan! Sumama ka sa amin ngayon sa presinto!"

"No! I'm not coming with you! I have the right to refuse and I demand to call for my lawyer."

The two policemen fell in silence for a moment and then they both laugh hard like I was joking around. "Buddy, sigurado ka bang normal na tao 'to? Ingles ng ingles pero basahan ang suot."

"Bossing, maliban sa Jaywalking suspek ka din sa nagaganap na sunod-sunod na nakawan sa lugar na 'to. 'yong lalakeng tumakbo kanina, snatcher 'yon, kasama mo siya, hindi ba? Kaya ka namin inaaresto. May karapatan kang magsawalang kibo. Mayroon ka ring karapatang kumuha ng abogado na iyong pinili at kung wala kang kakayahan, ito ay ipagkakaloob sa iyo ng pamahalaan. Nauunawaan mo ba?"

They were able to convince me so I just come with them to put this to an end. I forgot that Vlance reminded me not to cross the road and use the overpass instead; this is why I was captured. Hell! I thought I'd be able to get back soon but here I am, getting arrested.

"Ba't ba kasi ang hilig niyong tumawid sa napakadelikading kalsada? Mayroon namang overpass kung saan masligtas pa kayong tumawid; ngayon, kayo pa ang may ganang magalit kapag nahuhuli kayo. Hindi niyo pag-aari ang daan kung saan tangkain niyong tumawid ano mang oras..."
