TRAPPED

Transaction x Saved

Ako si Disney A. Lenter, I have a simple life, maganda daw ako at matalino, pero ano nga bang paki ko sa sinasabi ng iba. Their opinions don't matter, I have my own monkey business and so them. Speaking about business I have lot of those, yun nga lang puro monkey business, I love doing illegal things, I'm fond of disobeying the rules, it's so thrilling and exciting and these things are the perfect definition of a simple life for me. Hindi kasi maganda ang buhay kapag walang thrill.

You may say that I am a brat and a rebel, pero you can't blame me, my mom died because of depression she saw dad with another woman, yet my dad died because my mother died, in short my father killed himself, he committed suicide, maybe because of guilt. I hate them. They are so selfish, they leave me. I'm just 10 years old that time! Sana inisip nila ako, sana inisip nila na may anak na higit na kailangan sila at hindi ang kakitiran ng utak nila. For several months, I have to take good care of myself, I became a stray. I learnt to beg just to have something to put in my stomach and got bullied, from those I've realized that life should not be like this I need to defend myself, because myself is my only refuge.

But, maybe life is still generous to me, because I met sister Del, she's a nun, who willingly shed some light to someone she didn't know, o baka ganon lang talaga ang mga madre?

I lived on a convent for almost two months, yeah it may seem so short but I don't care. Hindi nila kinaya ang ugali ko kaya pinatalsik ako, sister Del asked the mother superior to let me stay because I am too young, she pleaded her to give me one more chance but, in the end I volunteered to leave. I guessed it's a blessing to meet sister Del, but to live in a convent or should I say orphanage, where the holies reside... I didn't think I deserved it, nevertheless, that place would still be here in my heart, thanks to sister Del.

Until now, sister Del provides my needs, we don't meet but, she sends me money through ATM.

I'm driving my car and there are two police mobiles that is chasing me, nakakatawa lang kasi ngayon ko naisipang mag-throwback, sa ganitong sitwasyon pa talaga... pathetic policemen, they can't arrest me. Hindi naman ako nang-carnapped o pumatay ng tao, pasaway lang talaga ako, I disobeyed two traffic rules counter flow and over speeding, ayokong magpahuli pero masayang mag-pahabol hahaha. I often change my car's color and plate number to give them a hard time looking for me. I am a monkey; I'm too wise for them.

Speed is 110 km/h and increasing pakiramdam ko isa ako sa mga nasa fast and furious na movie. I step in the accelerator and I'm speeding up, I turn to the left.

*car horned* "Hoy, umayos ka!" narinig kong reklamo nung isang driver na muntik ko nang makabungguan, buti nag-preno s'ya kung ako lang e hindi ako magpre-preno.

Dere-deretso lang ako hanggang sa nakita ko na yung paliko, lumiko ako sa kanan at pumasok sa eskinita, bumusina ako at bumukas ang mala pintong nakaharang sa dadaanan ko. Nilabas ko ang isang kamay ko sa bintana at kumaway ako, nakita ko naman sa side mirror ko na nag-sara na yung pinto. Wala na yung mga pulis, it means wala na ring thrill. The adventure is over.

But, another adventure is about to start. *smirk* Lumabas na ako sa street na tinatawag naming Peace Street, eto lang kasi yung lugar na hindi ko pa nilalabagan ng batas, kung bakit? Ewan ko rin. This place is not a crowded place whether umaga o gabi, madalang lang ang mga sasakyan na dumadaan dito, as far as I know hindi naman ito private, kung tutuusin mukha syang ghost town, mapuno, may mga bahay na wala namang tao, at may isang napaka-laking building na mukhang nasunog, if I'm not mistaken Japanese ang may-ari ng building na 'yon well, according to rumors lang naman. Pero, ano nga ba ulit ang paki ko kung sino mang poncio pilato ang may-ari no'n hindi naman 'yon sayo, sa akin o sa inyo.
