.,i was alone in my room thinking of so many things... laid down on my back- in a supine position... i picked up my pillow and then shut my eyelids down...
....i remembered taking steps with my feet... the land is dark and the moon is bright... i cannot see other things but the tiny little glowing lights beneath the grayish sky... "mama, kailan babalik si papa?..." coming from the tiny little voice of a young boy... he is about six or seven years old, asking about where his father went and when he will come back... "Hindi alam ni mama anak... nasa malayong lugar si papa... mahirap puntahan....", replied his mom... i saw that there is something behind her eyes holding her back from saying more informations about where the father have been... "edi puntahan na natin s'ya ngayon para maaga tayong makarating...", said the little child smiling... he does not know what he is saying... the only thing that is running in his mind is the aim to see his father back with him... with them... "hindi tayo papapasukin doon anak... mahirap pumasok dun...", his mom explained to him that it is difficult to go there... it is so complicated that it might take all their time travelling through that one destination... I also do not know where that place is.... what state or country is she talking about... all i know is that it is really a very distant place that only few individuals have the idea/ knows where it is...
I stopped walking and sat down for a while... i felt a little tired... "mama uuwi na ba tayo?.... baka naghihintay si bob..." the child continued asking... his mother seems not to hear what he's saying... "mama uuwi na tayo?... uuwi na po ba tayo ha mama?..." His mother bent her knees slowly and carried him on her short slim elbows... "oo anak... sige matulog ka na muna sa balikat ni mama... uuwi na tayo.... pupuntahan natin si bob..." the young boy laid his head down on his mama's shoulder yawning... "mama puntahan natin si bob ah... pun...tahan natin si.... pa..pa.." his eyes were shut upon saying those words... maybe the child felt tired from their long day of wandering... "sige anak... matulog ka na muna.... gigisingin kita pag malapit na tayo kay papa..." the road is empty... there are no lights on the posts nor are there any brightness coming from the houses they passed by... "papa..." the young boy was dreaming... he must have been longing so much to see his father... he still thinks of his 'papa' even when asleep...
the 'wang-wang' of the siren caught all the peoples attention... a lady was robbed, her belongings stolen, received a gun shot from the hold upper and has been stroked by a knife on her lower left chest... the child didn't know what was happening... next thing he knows... he is with the ladies in an all-white shirt... he is wondering where his mother is... one girl in an all-white shirt injected something within the child... and for the second time then... he fell asleep...
