The Island
Pan Vejar's
I was having a bad dream. I knew I was. I dreamed about being swept away by a very tall wave. It felt so real – like I am drowning and while I am drowning, I hit something really hard and my arm was wounded and I cried so hard but it was all a dream and I know I will wake up inside my room in my bed and I am comfortable, but then, I woke up because something hot made tama to my face and when I opened my eyes, I saw blue skies.
Where is my chandelier? I wondered. I tried moving my feet to make kuskus my paa to the mosquito net underneath my kumot but when I kuskus, I felt sand. Why is there sand in my bed. And then, it hit me. I sat up and I saw the ocean in front of me. And like I'm so basa to the highest level and then, I saw the mahirap na man beside me, looking at me with amusement in his face.
I realized that I'm still buhay and that I have a big wound in my left arm and that I am in an island with no bahay and that the nakakainis na man is beside me talaga!
"Oh my god! I'm stuck here with you! Oh my god! We're stranded! Oh my god! Ang sakit ng wound ko!
"Iyong totoo, nakakailang oh my god ka sa isang araw?"
He made me loko. I tried hitting him but my wound is so sakit talaga!
"Oh! H'wag mong igalaw! Binalot ko lang ng panyo iyan para tumigil nang magdugo." Napapa-shake pa iyong head niya while talking to me. I stood up. I'm so hilo. Like I want to leave this island like right now, because I'm like so scared and I so wanna go home!
"Hindi ako pwedeng magtagal here! I have things to do pa in my real life!" I said to him. He nodded at me.
"Kahit abnormal kang magsalita, naiintindihan kita pero kasi, we're stuck here, Pan Vejar. We're stuck here for now."
Bigla akong napa-cry but I didn't let him see my tears. I just took a deep hininga and looked at him. My sugat is so kirot na talaga but I am not going to cry because I'm no cry baby.
"Then we must do something!" I told him. "Why are you making upo there?! We should call for help!"
"I tried, but there's no people here. I don't even know where we are." Sagot niya. Lalo akong na-scared. What am I going to do? I so wanna go home na talaga. I bit my lower lip and sat beside him again. I stared at him. His hair is so gulo and so kadiri like hindi niya nilagyan ng mousse – it looks baho and it looks so unruly. I ngiwi.
"Why is your hair like that? Like you didn't put mousse on it!"
"Stranded tayo sa isla, Pan Vejar, tapos iniisip mong maglagay ako ng mousse sa ulo ko? Ni wala nga akong nasagip na gamit ko."
My mouth parted. He was right. I shouldn't be think this way. I should be thinking about how we can get out of this island but while I was thinking, my tyan made a sound, like what the fuck so much. I'm gutom na and I think he heard it na. He looked at me, and then he smiled. He has dimples and that showed when he smiled at me.
