บททั้งหมดของ HIS UNMITIGATED DISASTER: บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

"This way." Nagpatiuna na si Mark sa pag-akyat dahil naaasiwa siya sa dalawang kasama na nagkanya-kanyang bitbit sa mga hinubad na damit. Medyo masukal ang dadaanan nila. And he might just have forgotten to warn them about it. Kaya naman sa gitna ng daan ay nagpahintay ang dalawa at napilitang magdamit muli. Halos kalahating oras na inakyat nila ang burol dahil kung anu-ano ang nakikita ng dalawa na puwede raw ipunin at kakainin...red and purple berries na bago sa paningin niya."Are you sure those are edible?" Puna niya kay Marlyn dahil ito ang malapit sa kanya. "I know nothing about berries but the fact that those birds are eating it...my common sense tells me, yes, they're edible." Pasupladang sagot ni Marlyn bago siya tinalikuran para ipagpatuloy ang pamimitas sa prutas. Galit? Pero bakit?Napilitan na siyang namulot sa mga naglalaglagang bunga ng niyog sa dinaraanan niya. By the time they reach the rock chamber, natuyo na sa mga katawan nila ang basang mga damit at may tig d

Bart sat in his living room, staring at his phone. Relief was evident in his face. Katatanggap lang niya ng mensahe mula kay Marlyn. The three made it through the storm. They're alive. Wasak ang yate, wala na raw pag-asang makakalayag pang muli ngunit, buhay sila! Iyon ang mahalaga. Gusto niyang tumawag sa coast guard. Ipaalam ang kalagayan ng tatlo nang makapagpadala sila ng tulong sa lalong madaling panahon...ngunit, ang bilin ni Marlyn, ipagpaliban muna iyon. Bigyan lang niya ang mga ito ng pagkakataong makasalamuha si Mark, makuha ang loob nito. She was asking for one week.Marlyn promised they're going to be okay. Wanda is going to be okay. But one week is too long. There would be news, casualties...may mawawala, may maghahanap.Can he shut his mouth that long? It would be easier if they were only on a cruise. Kaso...hindi. Isa pang problema, bigating tao pala itong si Mark Anthonio. According to what he heard from Cleopatra Welsh and her friends, isang business tycoon pala

Ang problema ngayon ni Wanda ay kung paano harapin si Mark pagkatapos ng nangyari. Hiynag-hiya siya sa sarili at sa binata. Baka iniinisip na nitong isa siyang ababeng kaladkarin. Well...masisisi ba niya ito kung iyon ang iniisip nito? She made the first move. She provoked him. Totoo ngang ang pagsisisi ay laging nasa huli. Had she put a thought on her actions first, wala sanang ganitong problema ngayon. Should she go to the camp site and talk to Mark o magpalipas muna ng sandali sa kagubatan?Tumingala siya sa maaliwalas na kalangitan. Sa kakahuyan ay dinig niya ang tila nag-aanyayang huni ng mga ibon mula doon.She suddenly felt the urge to explore the jungle. A hike may help clear her mind. Pero kabilinbilinan ni Marlyn na huwag na huwag siyang aalis. Huwag lumayo sa camp site. Oh! Fuck that. She doesn't see Marlyn anywhere. Mapipigilan pa ba siya nito kung nakaalis na siya bago pa man ito bumalik? Nagmamadali siyang pumunta sa yate at nagbihis--fitted jeans at itim na long s

Wanda's eyes fluttered open, her mind foggy as she struggled to process the chaos that had just erupted. Wala na ang mga unggoy sa paligid.She was met with a sight of utter devastation - her clothes now hung in tattered shreds, her arms and legs a mess of scratches and bites. The monkeys, those mischievous creatures, had left her looking like she'd been put through a blender. They had pulled her hair, bit her arms, and scratched her skin...it was as if she had been initiated into some sort of twisted monkey cult, forced to endure their brutal hazing ritual. Baka nga...If so...then she's a part of a monkey cult now? Natawa si Wanda sa kabila ng humahapdi niyang kalmot sa mga binti at braso. Tumayo siya para lang mapangiwi nang maramdamang sumasakit ang buo niyang katawan.Lesson learned, don't get in the way of monkey business, literally. This serves as a reminder of the unpredictable dangers that lurked in the jungle. Had she stayed at the camp site as she was told, none of these w

Wala si Marlyn na higaan nito. Iyon ang unang napansin ni Mark pagmulat niya ng mata. He winced as he rose from his makeshift bed, his body still adjusting to the harsh conditions and all the hard work they did yesterday. Accustomed to the comfort of a soft mattress, he can't believe how he managed to sleep on a bed of leaves and twigs for days, habang pinagpipiyestahan ng lamok. He scratched his skin instinctively habang gumagala ang paningin sa kabuoan ng open hut na pinagtulungan nilang gawin ng dalawang dalaga. Nadako ang paningin niya sa gawi ni Wanda. She's still sleeping. Nakatalikod sa gawi niya. Napangisi siya sa sarili at napailing. Nasapo ang panga kung saan tumama ang kamao ni Wanda kagabi gawa ng pang-aasar niya rito. Hindi man lang siya nakaiwas. Maayos naman silang naghiwalay kagabi at nagawa pa nga nilang tumawa ni Wanda nang pareho silang makabawi sa nangyari. But that served him a warning, to always pick a line to cross with Wanda. Mahirap na. Baka sa susunod a
