Tamang bitaw!

They both landed in the water with a loud splash. Mabuti nalang at pareho silang magagaling lumangoy.

"Are you crazy?" 

Di makapaniwalang bulalas sa kanya ni Zach ng makabawi ito sa pagkabigla.

Kasalukuyan pa silang nasa tubig, at nakikipagsabayan sa lakas ng agos.

"I am, nagsisisi kana ngayon?" 

Nakatawang sagot ng dalaga.

"What if we died?"

"It's just a what if Zach. As long as there's hope kahit isang percent lang, isn't it worth trying at all? Besides were alive, aren't we?"

"Whatever!" 

Zach said in frustration.

"But who ever did this to us, I'll make sure to make them pay!"

Zach grit his teeth. 

Sa maikling panahong naging sila ni Sophia ang dami na nilang pagsubok sa buhay ok lang sana kung mga simple lang at hindi buwes buhay.

"Zach, we have a problem?"

"What?"

But its too late for them to react, may isa pa palang talon right below them and it's hard for them to go back dahil sa lakas ng agos ng tubig.

"What are we going to do now?"

"This is your idea, why are you asking me?"

Ani Zach na nagpapanic na rin.

Don't panic. .don't panic think of something! Ani Sophia sa sarili. 

"Zach grab the vines, fast!" 

But Zach slip through it, luckily, she grab it on time pero ang mas nakaka–gulantang Zach accidentally grab her skirt, instead.

"You idiot! Hold my feet,instead—don't look up!" 

Sigaw niya sa lalaki, nakalambitin silang dalawa at kapag titingala ang lalaki makikita nito ang underware niya.

"What Im supposed to do,I'm going to slip if I moved?" 

nakatingala nitong tanong sa kanya, he was trying to look down pero mga malalaking bato lamang ang kanyang nakikita.

"What I'm going to do—? 

"I don't know! Just do something—I said don't look up, close your eyes!" 

Bulyaw niya rito ng maramdaman ang mga mata nito sa kanyang hinaharap.

"Do something!" she yelled. "Oh no!" 

Anyang makarinig ng pagkapunit ng tila.

"What was that?" 

ani ni Zach ng makarinig na tunog nang pagka punit. before they could react, Zach fell off ng mapunit ang palda ni Sophia. 

"Zacccchhhhh!" 

She scream in horror! Hindi man lang niya narinig ang sigaw ng lalaki sa sobrang pagkabigla nito.

"Zach. .Zach!"

makailang ulit na niyang tinawag ang pangalan ng lalaki pero hindi ito sumagot, she was starting to panic. 

Im sorry Zach, I shouldn't have brought you here, it's all my fault! 

She broke down and sobbed like a child, she regretted everything kung nakinig lang sana siya sa lalaki, she should have prevented the disaster.

Her hands was in pain, may dugo ng lumalabas sa kanyang kamay mula sa pagkakahigpit niya ng kapit sa ugat.

But why she's still holding on, despite the fact that it's hurting her and that someone she love was no longer around?

She realized, some will still stay no matter how hard and painful it is, not because they don't have a choice but they stay because of the memories.

This is where her memories of Zach, stop!  

So maglalambitin kang parang timang riyan? Her brain asked her. Hala sige feel free be my guest!

Hindi naman pala katangahan ang hindi pag bitaw, we had our own reason!

When holding on was painful enough then letting go was the worst feeling of all. .

"Let gooo. ."

I will! she thought with out even realizing it, her tears was falling down into her cheek mas malakas pa siguru sa tunog ng talon ang kanyang pag iyak.

akala niya sarili niya ang nagsabi noon but the echoes of the voice prove her wrong.

"Let it gooo. .Sophia!" 

Malakas na sigaw ni Zach sa baba, para marinig niya sa taas.

"Zach?"

She then realized, tamang bitaw lang pala ang kailangan. It was like her heart jump with joy.

That's why people choose to stay, not because they can't move on, kailangan lang nila ng tamang panahon.

"Zaccchhhhh. . .!"

Her scream echoed sa lahat ng sulok ng kagubatan. Zach never promised to catch her but she knew when he told her to let go he was ready for her.

She landed exactly in Zach's arms. They both fell in the water na hanggang tuhod lang. 

"How did you survived?" 

"There's a willow up there!" 

nakangising tugon ni Zach. 

"If I landed in here, I am probably dead by now!"

She was so delighted and happy to see him alive, sa sobrang saya niya nahalikan niya sa labi ang lalaki.

She sob. "You scared me!" 

Zach look straight into her eyes and grab her head. He kissed her torridly, that Sophia responded equally.

They seems to be lost in their world and temporarily forgets the danger ahead of them.

"Whoaaaa. ."

Natigil si Zach sa pagtaas ng damit ni Sophia when he heard someone gasp, automatiko silang napalingon sa kinaroroonan nito.

Their jaws drops nang mapagtantong di lang pala sila ang tao roon.
