"Uhm. Kris, please?" Jane, my co-worker, handed me her papers. Inabot ko naman iyon.

"Omg! Thank you! The best ka talaga!" Nagmadali siyang nag-ayos ng gamit at dire-diretsong lumabas ng opisina.

"Kris... I have a date, so can I leave this to you? Pretty please?" Ngayon si Ayi naman, nag beautiful eyes pa siya. Ako naman, tumango lang. Sige lang!

Lumapit siya sa akin at niyakap ako. "Promise, Ililibre talaga kita sa payday! Super duper love you!" She kissed my cheeks at katulad ni Jane, nagmadali din siyang umalis. Ililibre? Sus, ilang beses mo na bang sinabi 'yan sa'kin? 

Ano pa nga ba? OT na naman. So basically, it's already 9 in the evening. Supposedly dapat 8 palang wala na ako sa office pero heto, overtime na naman. Bakit ba kasi hindi ko maiwasang tanggihan ang mga katrabaho kong ipinapasa ang trabaho sa akin. Hindi ko rin alam.

Alam kong dapat ko silang tanggihan dahil hindi tama ang ginagawa nila but I just can't do it. I'm new here at pakiramdam ko hindi ako tatagal kapag hindi ako nakisama sa mga tao dito kaya go with the flow na lang talaga. 

If not for me being so stupidly kind baka isa na rin ako sa mga nagiging biktima ng chismisan nila. Ewan, ganon sila, e. Or maybe I just badly want to leave an impression to them to the point that saying no is not an option anymore.

I'm so stupid.

"Ugh, so tired... Let me take a break!" Inexit ko ang inaayos kong files at inilagay ito sa favorite website ko.

"Time for anime..." I mumbled.

Hindi na rin sigurong masamang mag-ot. Ako lang mag-isa rito so I can do whatever I want. I can use the internet to do my stuff. I mean, watch animes, duh.

How nice it is to get isekaied (transported) to another world, right? Tapos magiging isang farmer ako doon at nakatira sa countryside, hays! Simpleng buhay pero masaya naman. 

Watching fantasy animes, reading fantasy novels is my hobby. Kaya minsan talaga naiimpluwensyahan na ako ng mga binabasa at pinapanood ko, gosh.

Natapos ko ang trabaho ko at nakapanood din ako ng ilang episodes so it's a win-win. Wala rin kasi akong wifi sa apartment ko, e. It's already 11 pm nang umalis ako sa building. Kailangan ko pang maglakad para makarating sa sakayan ng jeep. Hopefully hindi ko na kailangang pumili dahil late naman na. 

Tonight is unusually chilly. Napahawak ako sa dalawang balikat ko dahil sa lamig na naramdaman. Wala na masyadong mga sasakyan at tao. The surrounding is quiet. Hindi naman ganito ito tuwing umuuwi ako ng late. I shook my head at hindi na inisip pa iyon.

*Ping!*

Patawid na sana ako nang tumunog bigla ang phone ko kaya sinilip ko ito saglit at nagulat nang makita ang dumating na notification.

Literal na napanganga ako. Seryoso ba? Chineck ko agad ang email dahil baka scammer at spam lang pero legit ang email na nagsend!

“OMG, 'di ako makapaniwala...”

Aaaaaaaahhh!

Napasigaw ako sa tuwa! This is a limited edition! One of my hobbies as a fan is to collect figures, mangas, CDs, and such merchs. If possible I would love to cosplay as well, unfortunately, I don't have the confidence.

I never thought I could win this one. I'm not expecting to win since this is a one draw raffle. I can't believe it. I guess I'm lucky today.

Besides this is my first ever win in a raffle. Marami na akong mga pa-raffle na sinalihan. Ni-isa wala akong napanalunan.

Kinalma ko ang sarili ko.

I think this will be one of my happiest day. Wait, I need to note this date.

Pumunta ako sa calendar at inilagay ko ang pagkapanalo ko. I was about to walk when a sudden chilly breeze touched my whole body making me immobile. Nagulat ako kaya napalingon ako sa paligid. Marahas kong inaangat ang mga paa ngunit hindi ito makagalaw.

“The heck is happening?”

There are no people around. Everything is stagnant. Nakahinto ang mga sasakyan sa kalsada. The trees are not moving despite the intense wind.

“What in the world is happening?!" I couldn't help but scream. I started to panic na rin.

Everything stopped, the time stopped. After a few minutes ay nakagalaw na rin ako. But before I could even step my feet forward a black portal appeared in front of me. Hindi ko na naiwasang kaya unti-unti akong nilalamon.

“HELP!!! TULONG!!” I screamed but it was useless. No one's around.

I am gradually being suck in the ground. I'm scared. What is this? What the heck is this? Am I being dragged to hell?

Seriously? Am I gonna die?

Nang lamunin ng portal and buo kong katawan, I tried reaching my hand out hoping someone would see me and help me but no one took my hand.

Until I felt an intense dizziness and eventually lost my consciousness.
