Chapter 61: Escape Route [3]
Nagulantang si Sophia nang makarinig siya ng nagsisigawan sa may di kalayuan.
She realized they both fell asleep, her head was on Zach shoulder and they're sitting side by side. Mataas na nuon ang sikat ng araw at medyo masakit na sa balat.
Marahil ata sa puyat at pagod kaya't di nila namalayan ang uras.
"Ouch!"
Reklamo ni Zach ng bigla niyang inangat ang ulo mula sa balikat nito.
"I'm sorry!"
she said apologetically at pinaraanan ng kanyang hinlalaki ang nasaktang labi ng lalaki.
Zach blink his eyes to many times namumungay pa ang mga mata nito na tila ba teenager na nagpapantasya.
"This. .
Bigla namang binawi ni Sophia ang kanyang kamay at patay malisyang tumayo.
"We have to get moving, Zach. They already found out!"
"Huh?"
Sophia was about to move ng paglingon niya nag unat pa ang lalaki ng kanyang katawan.
"Zach, for pete's sake! Hurry up!"
"I'm coming!"
Anito na nilampasan pa siya, they both run. Medyo may kasukalan na ang kagubatan kanilang pinasukan.
"Don't tell me may ahas dito?"
"Kung may ahas sa libro, anong tingin mo sa lugar na ganito?"
She answered sourly, mamatay na sila't lahat lahat kung ano ano parin pumapasok sa kukuti nito.
They suddenly stop ng makarinig ng malakas na pagbagsak ng tubig.
"Talon!"
They both said in chorus.
"This is not a good sign Zach!"
Ani Sophia sa lalaki. She recalled, the rules of the jungle. Pag may talon ibig sabihin there's no way out except to jump on it, the water itself goes into the open water.
"Don't tell me. .we don't have another way except—"
"Exactly!"
ani Sophia na kinumperma ang kutob ng lalaki,
Zach groan. "Sophie, I had acrophobia—!"
"And so Am I!"
Ani Sophia, the truth is she's not pero she had to lie to calm him down.
"Kahit ikutin man natin itong lugar na ito, we still have to jump, either way!"
They reach on the cliff.
Sophia looked down, tinantya niya kung gaano kalayo ang distansya ng tubig mula sa kinaroroonan nila.
"Whoaa!" di niya mapigilang sambit.
Ang lugar kung saan sila naroroon ang pinakamataas sa lahat, they don't know how deep the water is but they still have chance to survive pag sa mataas sila ng galing.
"Zach!" untag niya sa lalaki. "This is exactly the best place for us to jump!"
"Just leave me Sophie!"
Napatitig siya sa mga mata nito, No way! she thought stubbornly and dragg him.
"Try to looked, don't worry aalalayan kita!"
"Itutulak mo lang ako wag nalang!"
Namamaktol na sabi ng lalaki, he was determined not to fall in Sophie's scheme for the second time.
But Sophie was also determined to make Zach followed her.
"Zachary!"
She yelled at him.
Zach jerked, napalingon lingon siya na tila ba narinig niya ang boses ng kanyang lola.
"I never thought you're such a coward!" anya habang hinihila parin ang lalaki.
"Are you going to jump or I'm going to kill you?"
They were like playing tag of war, Zach maintain his foot on the ground with all his weight while Sophia was dragging him with all her strenght.
"Come here!" she grit her teeth.
She glared at him imperiously, she was already tired of dragging him. Zach was like a bull as he's body was in perfect shape while she's petite.
It was like a goat dragging a bull.
"You're stubborn as a mule!"
inis na inis niyang sabi sa lalaki.
"Forget the wedding, I won't marry you anymore!"
"Are you serious? just because—"
"What's the use? I don't want to marry a ghost. Gusto mong mamatay dito eh di bahala ka sa sarili mo!"
Anya na inilang hakbang ang naturang talampas, wala naman sa sariling napasunod si Zach sa kanya.
"This isn't fair!"
"Ayon sila, bilisan na ninyo!"
Narinig na nila ang mga boses ng mga taong naghahabul sa kanila bago paman makasagot si Sophia.
"Fine, you're not going to jump!"
"Good!" ani Zach
Then, Sophia smiled wickedly sabay hawak sa pulso ng lalaki.
"We're going to jump— together!"
"What?"
Anya at walang pasabing hinila ang lalaki, by impulse Zach followed her and they both jumped, together.
Their screams echoed, sa lahat ng sulok ng kagubatan. Pero mas malakas pa yata ang tili ni Zach kaysa kay Sophia.
