Scene 10: After travelling for about a mile, a girl with an athletic body built stopped the tricycle and asked if she can ride-on with us, making us threesome inside the small space.
Athletic: Alert, waiving hands -
“Paraaa!” - para is equivalent to calling a cab
Scene 11: I observed the driver with the corner of my eye and decided not to approve the girl’s insistent request.
Jonathan: Relaxed -
“Manong, diretso lang!” - “Manong, go on straight ahead!”
Scene 12: This triggers her to draw a dagger and threated us with it. I used my muscular right arm to defend the girl beside me and requested the driver to accelerate the tricycle, but the driver refused to grant my request. I suddenly realized I was under a set up.
Athletic: Reluctant and a little bit unsure, attacking -
“Kunin mo na!” - “Get it!”
Jonathan: Alert, whispered - “Bunch of amateurs!”
Scene 13: The girl beside me draws a small dagger and pointed if directly beneath my elbow, while the driver draw a caliber 38 and pointed it toward my face. If I did something stupid, I would definitely put my life to an end.
Driver: Cold face -
“Bigay mo na para walang problema!” - “Just give it so we won’t have a problem!”
Jonathan: Alert, not saying anything - “…”
Scene 14: I decided to do what they wanted and slowly slid my right hand on my pocket. I did not feel nervous at all and I’m confident I can take them without difficulty.
Jonathan: Thinking -
“I don’t wanna do it but they want a lesson of a lifetime…”
Scene 15: Swift fight. I successfully neutralized the three and woke up…
Scene 16: At 3:00 a.m. inside a very small bed space.
Jonathan: Suddenly woke up - “Ugghh! It’s just a dream…”
END…
