I went to my mini farm to be (to be or hoping pa lang) yesterday afternoon. I sent my driver to bring my letter to the neighbor to dismantle their affected structures that are encroaching. I was holding an umbrella kasi tirik na tirik ang araw.
Suddenly, I heard a dog barking. I looked at the white dog that’s always there at the neighbor’s kubo, pero nakatali. Aba, he’s not barking naman, he’s sleeping. Eh sino ang kumakahol? The barking continued, it’s becoming more intense. When I looked in between the trees, I saw a big brown dog with mouth open and galit na galit, Oh my God, he started running towards me, ang laki-laki ng mga pangil. For a moment, kala ko patay na ako.
I screamed so loud but no one heard me. I screamed again, I jumped over the mounds of soil and ran. Our van was locked because I told the driver to lock it. Wala sya dun kasi nga inutusan ko maglakad to the neighbor’s place.
I climbed on top of the tricycle parked alongside the road. Ang dulas pa mandin, walang apakan. I screamed again but no one came to help me.
Buti na lang naka pantalon ako. Kahit naka palda ako, kahit magkang lalaglag ang panty ko, wala akong paki.
Still holding the umbrella, I waited for the dog to come, naku baka tumalon at makaakyat din. Baka maabot ang paa ko. Game plan ko, tutusukin ko yung mukha nya ng payong if he tried to climb.
Th dog stopped running when he saw me on top of the tricycle. Hah! I screamed again. Wala paring tao. I dialed my driver’s number.
“Bilisan mo”.
OMB———– “Paano ako bababa dito?”
Driver——– “Ay, mam!”
My chest was pounding. Nahilo ako, kaya siguro ako nag-migraine. Bibili nga ako ng laser gun for dogs. Tsuk tsuk patay siya.
