When she meets you

𝐂𝗁𝖺𝗉𝗍𝖾𝗋 2

Reason also why other gangs attention focuses on him being wonder and questionable sa leader ng Marauders gang na biglang nagdikta.

His eyes sparkled with mischief as he proposed a daring bet, a wicked grin spreading across his face. "Minsan lang naman tayo mag-katuwaan bakit hindi na natin itudo ngayong gabi lamang?" As he said, habang binibigyang sinyas ang iba pang mga leader ng gang group na sumang-ayon sa iniisip nya.

"Kapahamakan ba yan?" The rebel gang leader asks.

"Kung Oo mukhang no choice ang lahat," the leader of the Scorpions said as well before being cut by the leader of Inferno's gang. "Kundi ang sumali"

The rest of the gang members leaned in, their eyes gleaming with anticipation. They were always up for a good challenge, and the prospect of a dare was too enticing to resist. 

They watched the Marauders gang leader point towards a stranger at the bar, a seemingly ordinary individual unaware of the attention she had attracted. 

The dare was simple yet thrilling— one of them had to approach the stranger and convince her to join their table for a drink. The stakes were high, with the loser having to foot the bill for the entire night and receiving one sanctioned punishment for each gang leader.

As the gangsters deliberated over who would take on the dare, their laughter grew louder and their teasing more relentless. They playfully pushed each other, each trying to nominate the other for the dare, but napagdesisyunan ng mga leaders na daanin nalang sa spin the bottle ang pagpili. 

The atmosphere was electric with excitement and anticipation, with their camaraderie shining through their playful banter.

Lahat sila'y sumang-ayon at nakilahok "para maging patas ang pagpili, paiikutin ko na itong bote sa gitna ng lamesa" saad ng leader ng Marauders bago nagsimulang magpaikot ng bote kung saan tumutok ito sa leader ng Inferno's gang.

"Pano ba yan? Mukhang ang leader ng Inferno's gang ang gagawa-ang tanong gagawin kaya?" Mapanghimok na saad ng scorpions leader gang group na nagbigay trigger naman sa gang ng Inferno.

"Hindi ako mag-iiwan ng salita, sa gawa ko dadaanin" saad ng leader ng Inferno bago agarang tumayo kung saan nagbigay galak naman sa iba pang gang at pinanood ang gagawin nito.

"Sa tingin mo magagawa nya?" Pasimpleng bulong ng rebel leader sa leader ng Scorpions— sumilay sa labi nito ang isang pilyong ngiti.

"Mukhang hindi." As he said, being proud sa naging sagot nya na wala pa namang batayan pero segurado na agad sya.

"Tumahimik kayong dalawa at manood na lamang" saad naman ng Marauders leader na nakatoon ng hustong pansin sa gawi ng dalagang gagawan ng dare ng gang leader ng Inferno miske ang ibang gang members group nakatoon rin ng pansin sa mangyayare.

Astre's pov.

"Excuse me, Ms., I don't want to make it too long. May favor ako na ipapagawa sayo." I heard someone's voice. I can't turn my back to face him, I'm already self-conscious.

Also, he is not that familiar, kaya sa kabila ng pagkahilo ko pilit kung inilalayo ang sarili ko sa kanya. 

Nasa bar ako, mahirap magtiwala sa mga taong nandidito lalo na't yung iba ay may motibo ng pangbabastos lamang. 

I turned my back at him and left him confused for a second  before I felt his presence again. "Ms., are you ok?" His voice seemed worried. He tried his best to approach me again and then suddenly felt his warm arm on my shoulder. I felt danger.

"Get your hands off on me!" As I said, bago pwersahan syang itulak ng hindi man lang nag-aatubiling lumingon sa gawi nya dahilan din upang makaramdam ako ng labis na sakit saking tagiliran.

Tumatagaktak na ang aking pawis, hindi naman mainit, pero yung pakiramdam ko para kung niluluto sa loob ng oven.

"Ms. Calm yourself, I'm just helping you," as he said. Bago muling gumawi ng lapit sakin— kailangan kung makalabas dito, delikado kung mananatili pa ko sa loob ng club for sure, hindi rin ako papansinin ng iba kapag may ngyare. I'm about to run and escape this situation when I suddenly felt that extremely unexplainable pain again.

Kasunod non ang tila muling echo ng mga boses saking ulo na wari mo'y binibiyak ito ng husto tapos wala man lang akung magawa.

'Tres!!'

Naramdaman ko na yung labis na panghihina, kaya wala na kung nagawa kundi ang hayaan ang aking sarili na bumagsak, but this unknown guy caught me.

I can't see his face clearly. Nanlalabo na ang aking mga mata. Dagdag nyo pa itong pakiramdam kung pilit na nadarama na hindi ako ligtas sa kanya, "Ms. Are you ok?" I heard that pattern of worried tone in his voice. Gayun pa man, hindi ko parin matukoy kung mabuti ba sya o masama.

Also, fuck all these people here at the club. Wala man lang ba silang balak na makisaw-saw sa sitwasyon at tumulong man lang? They're all useless.

'Tres!!!'

After I heard the last loudest echo in my thoughts, bigla kung na-aninag yung presensya ni Milky, she was worried na tila takot din at the same time before mouthing her word— my name. "Oh no! Astre!" said this silly girl.

I saw her as a motion of glitch, and I feel safe now. Bumigay na ang aking katawan at unti-unti na ring nilamon ng dilim ang aking paligid at tuluyan na ngang nawalan ng malay.
