Chapter 13

Feelings

Kinaumagahan maaga akong gumising para makapag jogging. Napansin ko kase na parati na lang ako sa loob ng bahay namamalagi. So I decided to jog in the morning. Napatigil ako sa pagjog nang makaramdam ng pagod. I seated on the bench and open the bottle water. Sumimsim ako roon at tinakpan pagkatapos.

Bullets of sweat were flowing all over my face. I swipe my sweats on my face using my towel. I was still breathing heavily after I drink a water. I put the bottle beside me. I took a deep sigh.

I roam my eyes around, the surrounding is still dark. I could hear how the dried leaves creak— I surveyed where that noise came from. But I didn't saw anyone approaching. Maybe I'm just hearing things. My eyes went to my hand where my watch located. Napaaga masyado ang gising ko. It's still early. It's four in the morning.

After resting a few minutes I decided to jog again. Even I'm wearing a headset I can still hear the loud noises of birds and the movements of leavs. And that's when I realize I'm getting far from the house. I didn't notice it because I was busy jogging the whole time. 

I was immediately filled with fear when I heard a few steps behind me. Masyado kasi ako g nakafocus sa pag jogging hindi ko napansin na lumayo na pala ako sa bahay. And fuck I don't where I was.

Naging mabilis na ang mga naging hakbang ko. I'm scared to look at my back because I'm dead if it's really a bad person whoever is following me. Shit! Para'ng gusto ko na lang tumakbo ng sobrang bilis dahil sa takot. But I know it's a bad move— that person might realize it.

Hindi niya dapat mahalata na alam ko na merong may sumusunod sa'kin. What I suppose to do? I should go to place where there's a lot of people! Yeah, right! I could feel from my back that he's almost close to me. I could tell that it's a man because of his heavy footsteps.

But I am tired already but I didn't saw a single person beside the road. Wala din akong makitang mga bahay. Shit! Masyadong malayo na talaga ang narrating ko! Wala rin akong makitang tao na pagala-gala sa paligid. Tangina! This is bad!  Napatigil ako nang maramdaman na may humawak sa aking kamay.

I flinched. Naramdaman ko ang kutsilyo sa tagiliran ko. My body was shaking. Mas lalo akong nanginig nang maramdaman na dumiin iyon. My pulsed raced abnormally as I struggled to control my quivering hands, my eyes wides open in panic. Tila naestatwa ako sa aking tinatayuan. I struggled to breath properly because of so much fear I am feeling.

"Huwag kang sisigaw sumunod ka sa'kin." My feet were trembling while walking.

My hunch is true the one who is following me is a man. His wearing a black jacket with a cap on it the reason why I can't see his face clearly.

"S-Saan mo ako dadalhin?" Nanginginig ang aking boses pero nagawa ko pa rin iyong itanong.

Fuck! Jogging early in the morning is a bad idea! Look, what happened to me?! Labis pa rin ang takot sa aking dibdib. Napahinto ang lalaki at nilingon ako. He smirk at me so I saw his yellowish teeth. Eww shit! And his eyes were red. Is he a drug addict Napaawang ang bibig ko roon at namayani na naman ang takot. If this man is really addict then I'm fucking dead! He's not in the right mind if my hunch is right! 

"Sa langit." Maikli n'yang sagot at tumawa ng malakas.

But it made me fear him more when I saw him scanning my whole body. Kulang na lang ay maglaway siya sa pagtingin sa aking katawan. Napaatras ako sa kan'ya pero agad n'ya rin akong nahawakan sa kaliwa kong kamay para pigilan ako.

"Ang sarap siguro sobrang kinis halatang mayaman." He pursued his lips.

"Let me go! Don't touch me! Help! Someone help me!" I tried to remove his grip from me but he was strong than me. At masyadong mahigpit ang pagkakahawak nito sa akin.
