LOVE FROM A SUICIDE

How love was born from a suicide attempt. Love in the darkest moments -- not 1 but 2 moments.

Hector is driving a six-wheeler truck, slowly climbing on his way to the mountain. He usually slows down when he gets to this area, not because it's dangerous, but he wants to enjoy

the scenery when he is on his way to the top of the mountain. It was almost 6pm kaya napakagandang tingnan ng nag-aagaw na araw at gabi. Feel na feel nya ang amoy ng hangin na malamig -- ibang iba when he's in the town proper where he delivers his produce.

Enjoy lang ng enjoy si Hector sa pagdrive, watching the scenery below, ng may biglang bumannga sa kanya coming from a small road on his left. Malakas talaga ang pagkabannga pero mabuti na lang at 6-wheeler ang dala niya, at hindi ito bumigay or else mahuhulog talaga sila sa bangin.

So he stopped his truck, waiting for the surrounding to calm down before he would check ano nangyari. But bigla uli may bumangga sa kanya, and when he looked out at his rear view mirror, he realized pareho lang ang kotse bumannga sa kanya. Umatras ito, at binangga uli sya. Medyo nagalit na si Hector.

So before he gets down of his truck, dinala nya ang baseball bat to arm his self. Galit syang bumaba at pinuntahan ang driver side ng kotseng bumangga sa kanya. Isang red camry ang bumangga sa kanya.

When he reached the driver side, he has to knock on the car window kasi tinted ito, at hindi nya makita kung sino ang driver. Medyo kinabahan sya but si Hector ay isang taong walang kinawilihan sa buhay kaya wala syang pakialam ano mangyari sa kanya.

When bumaba na ang window, he was surprised na babae pala driver nito. He could see na umiiyak ang babae.

"Miss, ano ka ba? Binabangga mo ako ng sadya. Magpapakamatay ka ba?" Galit na pagtanong ni Hector sa driver.

"OO. At walang hiya ka, you just ruined my plan, and now my life!" The girl angrily shot back at him.

Medyo kumulo lalo ang dugo ni Hector kasi sya pa ngayon ang may kasalanan. At ang angas pa ng babae, sya pa nga itong nakaabala sa kanya.

The girl get out of the car, pull his arm with the baseball bat. "Please patayin mo na ako. Hindi ko na kaya."

"Miss, hindi ako mamatay tao. Kung may problema ka, huwag kang mang damay ng iba." Ayaw na patulan ni Hector ang babae kaya tumalikod na ito para iwanan ang parang naboboang na babae.

The girl shouted at her, "Dahil sa pagbabag mo sa plano ko, kung ano mangyari sa akin, kasalanan mo ito. Kaya if you don't want my life to get worse, patayin mo na ako ngayon na." She was screaming profanities at him. "Walang hiya talaga kayong mga lalake. Puro kayo manggagamit."

Hector got irked. So he walked back to her. "Miss, hindi ako mamatay tao. Mas lalong hindi ako manggagamit." To scare her, Hector hissed at her face, "RAPIST lang ako."
