200 bucks fer 5 hours?
tat's a bargain, dawn thought.
5 hours of motorcycling galore. haha
so he and best bud wee decided to tag along their roommates.
"i'll just ride along wit you best.", wee said.
dumaguete is a real small city.
5 minutes drive from the dorm would take you to the shoreline.
10 minutes is already out of town.
hehe.
Valencia is always a good spot to drive through.
great view.
cold breeze.
dawn's was the last motorcycle in a convoy of five.
wee wasn't tat comftable ridin wit dawn.
he just started learnin.
a week, tat's it.
i'm so gonna die a virgin, wee panicked.
haha.
the guys ahead of 'em were pretty fast drivers.
, and dawn wasnt willin to eat dirt.
uphill now.
"man, you dunno how to drive uphill!"
"slow down jackass!", wee nagged him.
so he did.
talk bout brisk walkin.
the road was pitch black.
the only visible light was tat of their bike.
and the others were nowhere in sight.
"wee, there's somethin on curve up ahead"
-"geez. tricycle ata."
indeed it was.
a really messed up ride at tat.
"must've drove so fast down the curve"
- "let's help"
the driver was covered in blood, unconscious.
his bike turned over and fell wit its dead weight on his leg.
it was impossible fer 2 really thin guy to lift the tricycle.
well just enough to get the guy out.
at round 2am.
there was no help close.
"i've been here before dawn, during the dayight"
"... and the nearest house is like a mile downhill"
-"yea i know, and it's damn cold."
wee tried texting the others fer help.
the two then concentrated on lifting the ride off the guy.
in a sitting position.
sweating now.
out of the darkness came two men.
hmmm. slippers. old ones.
seemed natives.
as the 2 men started lifting the side-car, the 2 buddies hurriedly pulled the guy out.
the light of bike made like a 3-meter radius around the wreck.
still sittin wit the injured driver,
wee noticed pairs of legs just along the light.
women and children.
they must be wit the 2 men who helped us, wee thought.
too occupied to even bother.
"whew! glad you're here"
dawn was relieved to see their other mates arriving.
everyone rushed to dawn's aid.
one mate volunteered to drive the tricycle wit the injured to the docs.
E.R. now.
dawn was inside filling up some form, answering questions.
the others were in the parking.
wee was by the door waitin fer his bud.
"san nyo ba nakita yun sir?", a security guard asked.
tryin to collect himself, wee said, "Valencia manong"
the guard was insisting wee to describe the exact place.
woah, you're persistent.
he really din know the place, so he described the drive leadin to tat place.
"ndi na yun Valencia sir"
-"ah ganun ba", sarcastic now.
"buti walang nagparamdam sa inyo dun"
a sudden twinge.
-"huh?"
"matagal na kasi walang nakatira dun banda..."
duh, it's private property, wee thought.
"...mga 40 plus years na rin"
his eyebrows met.
-"there were people who helped us..."
"isang barangay yun sila sir, sinunog ng mga hapon mga bahay nila"
"habang natutulog"
"dami nga mga babae at bata nun, kawawa"
gulp.
"walang nangangahas na tumigil dun sa parte na yun"
"marami nagpapakita eh"
no way!
tsk tsk.
bad trip.
