Lifeline

Due to a frequent brain absence resulting to inability to write something, I’ve decided to offer my equally beautiful but less sexier sister of mine to write for my blog.

I told her to write in English but she has something different in mind.

Anyway, here's a little kwento from her.

Read on.

---------

Mga 2 years ago, na-met ko itong parent ng estudyante ng mommy ko.

“Paminta” siya, not that I care.

Na-met ko uli siya when I decided to leave my former job in a call center and accepted a much better offer in a hotel. He was working as a cashier in the casino.

Last year around December I think, I heard through the hotel grapevine that an employee in the casino had an accident.

Hindi ko naman naisip siya pala yun. Since yung guy na yun eh nakatira malapit sa school nila mommy, nalaman ko na siya pala yung nasagasaan one early morning.

He was crossing the street after buying a bag of rice when a passenger jeepney hit him. He was thrown about 10 meters away. Everyone who was on the scene saw that he was dead.

Or so they thought.

He had no pulse daw, his head was caved in, blood everywhere.

Doon malapit sa school nila mommy, across the street merong funeral parlor dun. Yung may-ari ng funeral parlor is a family friend. Since malapit nga yung punerarya doon at mukhang tigbak na siya, dinala na lang siya dun ng mga tao, karamihan neighbors niya. Pagdating dun, pinasok agad siya sa morgue. Nung nandun na siya sa table at tinitingnan ng embalmer, sinuri etc., napansin ng embalmer na parang buhay pa yata. So chineck niyang mabuti.

Ayun! Buhay pa nga! Buti na lang at di pa niya sinimulang hiwain! Ewwww! Worst nightmare!

So yun, dali-dali siyang sinakay sa only available na sasakyan- sa … sa… KARO NG PATAY o HEARSE at dinala sa ospital. Parang nabaliktad ang eksena kasi instead of being in a hospital first then funeral parlor if the unfortunate will happen di ba eh nauna pa siyang dinala sa punerarya kesa sa ospital. Hay naku, ewan ko ba kung matatawa ako o maawa.

I swear this story is sooo TRUE!

Last week pumunta ako ng mall, nakita ko uli siya. He’s okay na, back to work but I don’t know about the state of his mind over this harrowing experience.




Note from mel: Manang, that is so morbid for a debut contribution ha? LOL
