Dinala ako ni Halcon sa gilid ng deck. Umalis siya saglit and came back with a thin cushion. He was half running nang lumapit siya sa'kin...
Nilagay niya ang cussion sa isang wooden chest nasa gilid lamang ng barko.
“Halika. Dito ka na umupo.” He patted the cushioned chest.
“Salamat.” I smiled. He only nodded at umakyat sa mas mataas na parte ng deck. Where the ships steering wheel is located.
He grabbed the big wooden wheel and started manipulating it. Navigating the mighty ship across the sea. His partially opened shirt is flapping to his chest as the wind blows.
Iniwas ko na ang tingin sa kanya, baka mahuli niya pa akong pinagmamasdan siya.
Isinandal ko ang dalawang braso sa railing ng barko, ipinatong ang aking pisngi sa braso and watched the sea waves.
I wonder, ano na kaya ang nangyayari sa bahay. It's been a week already… and I miss them so much.
Mom will be frantic. No, more than that. Baka nagpatawag na sila ng search and rescue team to search for my body. And kuya. Kuya will be devastated while Benj, he'll surely take a part of the blame for what happened to me.
I closed my eyes to stop the tears from forming in my eyes.
How did I get here? It is just so weird and peculiar.
There are times that I think this is all just a dream. And my body is just peacefully sleeping in a hospital bed or in my bedroom.
For the ninth time… Inalala ko ulit ang nangyari sa gabing iyon.
The yacht was sailing, then someone pushed me, my screams engorged by the loud noises and music from the yacht.
And then… when I can't move my arms and stay afloat, I let my body sink into the freezing water…
The next thing is that I've found myself sleeping in a pirate ship's cabin, with real pirates occupying it.
Nagmulat muli ako and stare at the midnight blue water.
I came here through the ocean water… What if—?
No.
Umiling ako. It's too risky and actually foolish.
If I jump to that water, testing if I can go back, it's not certain if I can make it or maybe this time, I’ll be facing my own death.
Pero anong gagawin ko? I can't just accept that I'll forever be dupped into this place! I have to do something.
Lumingon ako and noticed this guy who's no older than Mason. Baka mas matanda lang ako ng ilang taon sa kanya.
He keeps looking at me when he thinks that I'm not looking at dagling nag iiwas din ng tingin kapag lumilingon ako rito.
