Chapter 7
A man was lurking on the rocks right exactly where I stole the jet ski. I recognized him as one of the beach’s life guard after seeing the red board short he’s wearing. Kulot ang itim na buhok at walang suot na pang-itaas. Napatayo ito nang matanawan akong paparating. Carefully, I parked the watercraft in front of him. Nakasuot ito ng shades at kunot ang noo.
I hopped off the jet ski and landed on the water. Umabot sa beywang ko ang malamig na tubig ng dagat. Nilingon ko ang lalaki na ngayon ay nakangisi na.
“So you’re the thief who stole my jet ski, huh?” Naglahad ito ng kamay at tinulungan akong makaahon pabalik sa batuhan.
I smiled sheepishly at him. “Yes, it’s me. Sorry about that.”
“No worries. Muntik lang akong matanggal sa trabaho.”
Bigla akong tinamaan ng hiya dahil sa narinig. The hotel owns the watercrafts at malamang ay nasermonan ito dahil sa pagkawala ng isang sa

The car finally came to a halt and my excitement tripled as I examine the place from the window. My family decided to drop me off at Batangas port today to save me from the hellish hardship of a commuter’s life.Mabilis akong bumaba sa sasakyan at binitbit ang dalang bag pack, inilabas naman ni Amadeus mula sa compartment ang suitcase ko. I wasn’t satisfied with the amount of stuffs I had packed pero ayaw ko rin namang magdala ng maraming bagahe kaya’t nagpasya akong kaunti lang ang dalhin at bumili na lang kalaunan ng mga kulang na gamit.“Take care, darling. Magsend ka lagi ng pictures mo ha?” my mom kissed me one last time on the cheek habang yumakap naman ako kay Dad.“Yes, Mom. I’ll try to call regulary. Mamimiss ko kayo!”“I’ll bet my whole year allowance, may boyfriend ka na pagbalik mo.”“Amadeus!” Gulat ko siyang nasigawan. Mahinang tumawa ang paren

Ricky.The name does ring a bell to my ears. Because why wouldn’t it? He was Trisha’s ex-boyfriend and that’s partly the reason why she chose to stay here, as what she mentioned to me. The girl haven’t moved on yet.“K-kaya pala hindi ko siya n-nakikita dito sa beach the past few day. I….I thought absent lang siya.” Trisha wailed and I felt my eyes watered as I listened to her pained sobs.When the police officers arrived earlier, iginiya ko na siya pabalik ng kuwarto kahit nagmamatigas ito. They have to conduct a thorough investigation about this matter dahil hindi simpleng pagkalunod lang ang ikinamatay ni Ricky. He was shot on the head, and there are brutal traces of marks on his neck.“I should’ve known! I…I should’ve asked. Cause why would I even t-think mag-aabsent siya ng ganoon katagal? He can’t afford to skip work that long k-kasi mahirap lang siya. Kasi hampa

“Get up,” the man demanded while pointing the gun firmly at me.Nanginginig akong sumunod sa utos niya. I was so petrified for dear life and I almost wish na sana pala ay nagpakalunod na lang ako kanina kung ganito naman ang sasapitin ko ngayon.“P-please, don’t do this. Don’t hurt me please. I’ll leave..” I begged and he chuckled without humor.Ang kaninang malakas na ulan ay unti unti nang tumitila.Naalarma ako nang humakbang palapit ang lalaki. I automatically took a step back and I watched as his eyes darkened, as if he didn’t like what I just did.“Isang maling galaw mo pa at pasasabugin ko ang ulo mo.”My eyes watered at his despicable threat. I looked at him, matapang na sinalubong ang matiim niyang titig kahit pakiramdam ko ay bibigay na ang tuhod ko sa takot.“P-please….wala naman akong masamang intensyon. I j-just need help-“

I lay there on the bed, facing the white ceiling in silence as I tried to gather a solid plan for my escape. The round wall clock hanging on the wall reads two forty-five, and I have no idea how long I’ve been laying in there. I drew in a deep breath.Walang pumapasok sa utak ko. Hindi ako makapag-isip nang maayos. Patuloy na umaandar ang oras ngunit kahit isang hakbang ay wala akong nasisimulan. Muli akong napabuntong-hininga.Maybe I should check outside, I thought suggestively and maybe it’s the best that I can do for the mean time. I sat upright as I embraced myself. Nakabalot pa rin sa bathrobe ang katawan ko.Tumayo ako at marahang binuksan ang pinto, tahimik na humihiling na sana ay walang nag-aabang na panganib sa akin sa labas ng kuwarto. The hallway was dark and empty, halos wala akong maaninag. Nilakihan ko ang awang ng pinto para mahagip ng liwanag na nagmumula sa kuwarto ko ang dulo ng hallway. Tahimik ang paligid.

Mataas na ang sikat ng araw nang muling magmulat ang aking mga mata. Ang plano kong unahan na magising si Sancho ay nabulilyaso dahil mag-aalas onse na nang matanawan ko ang wall clock sa loob ng kuwarto. Agad ang pagsipa ng kaba sa aking dibdib. How could I be so careless? I couldn’t believe I had the nerve to have a good sleep inside the cave of my own predator.Saglit akong nag-inat bago dahan-dahan at tahimik na tinungo ang pintuan. Inilapat ko ang tainga doon upang makiramdam sa nangyayari sa labas. It’s dead silent. Maliban sa hampas ng alon sa dalampasigan at mangilan-ngilang huni ng mga ibon ay wala na akong ibang naririnig.I bit my lower lip before hesitantly twisting the door knob open. But of course, matapos ko syempreng pasadahan ng suklay ang magulo kong buhok at kapain ang bagong gising kong mukha. Halos hindi ako humihinga habang sinisilip ang tahimik at maliit na pasilyo. Niluwangan ko ang pagkakabukas ng pinto upang mas maina
