Baka Sakali

"Sir. andito po si Ms. Lorraine."

i looked at Ian. "Wag mo papasukin."

"Sungit mo," Sabi ni Javi sa tabi.

"I am not in the mood to talk to her." I said. I massaged my temples and wore the bracelet Athena gave me. "Javi, any news kay Athena?"

"Wala. Huling balita ko nasa Macao sya kasama si Kiarra." he replied. "Di mo kasi tanungin sila Keydon? Nasa Pilipinas naman sila ah"

"Only If i can, Javi." I sighed and looked at him. "I badly wanna know how she is but I can't reach out to any of them."

"si Collins?" Javi asked.

Lasing ba toh?

I stared at him and crossed my arms. "Siraulo ka ba?" i asked. "Edi kung tinanong ko yung kapatid nya edi parang binuksan ko yung lagusan papasok sa sarili kong impyerno."

"Sungit. Labas nako ha, baka may maganda doon." Sabi ni Javi at lumabas sa kwarto na pinag stayan ko.

I am running for congressman again and I felt weak as i saw Athena's picture as my lockscreen. She was my inspiration yet I made her leave. "I miss you." I whispered.

"Sir. Sandro, it's time to go out po."

Ngayon ang rally namin nila Matthew and expected na madaming dadayo kahit mga hindi taga Ilocos. "Sir, pinasusuot po ni Ma'am sainyo," Ian handed me a bulletproof vest.

"Para san? wala naman siguro papatay saakin dyan." I chuckled.

I was going to tell ian to put it away but I suddenly heard a familiar voice behind me. "Suotin mo yan, Sandro."

I turned around and saw Mom along with Matthew, Cara and Jamie. "What for, Mom? Wala naman babaril saakin." I said.

"It's better to be sure, Son. Matthew's also wearing one." Mom said. "I don't any more buts, susuotin mo yan, Sandro." She ordered.

Hindi nako nakapalag pa at sinuot nalang yung vest bago pako mabatukan ni Mom. I mean yeah to be safe but isn't she overreacting? Moms. "Suotin mo nalang, Mom freaked out because i didn't want to wear mine." Matthew whispered.

"Tita Imee freaked out?" I laughed.

"Yeah! She went ballistic earlier in my tent along with Mia and jamie, the three of them were sassing at me!" Matthew complained.
