Unforgettable Incident

Kalbaryo sa Kalentong: Gutom, Basa, at Chicken Spaghetti

Ang daming na-caught off guard kahapon—kasama na ako—nang biglang bumaha sa Kalentong. Tuloy-tuloy lang ang ulan, at sa sobrang bilis ng pagtaas ng tubig, para kang lumulutang sa kalsada.

More than seven hours akong stranded, naghihintay ng jeep o kahit anong sasakyan papuntang Quiapo. Pero wala. Kahit anino ng sasakyan, wala akong nakita. Basa ako mula ulo hanggang paa—literal at figurative. Ramdam ko na yung pamamanhid sa mga daliri at paa habang tumatawid sa tila ilog na New Panaderos Extension papuntang Kalentong Fire Station.

Pero kahit sa gitna ng hirap, may mga unexpected blessings pa rin.

May nakita akong 24/7 McDonald's sa Aglipay—salamat at hindi siya inabot ng baha. Dun muna ako nagtago. Unang mission: makaihi at maibsan ang tensyon na halos ilang oras ko nang pinipigil. Pagkatapos nun, umorder ako ng paborito kong Chicken Spaghetti with extra rice. Akala ko kaya ko siyang ubusin. Pero sa pagod ko, parang ang bigat na ng kutsara.


Lumabas ako sandali, sumilip sa bintana—pero ganun pa rin. Baha pa rin. Walang galaw. Walang sasakyan.

Pagkalipas ng apat na oras, umorder ulit ako. Medium coffee at regular fries this time. Sinabi ko sa sarili ko, “Mukhang dito na talaga ako matutulog.”

Pero biglang may kaguluhan sa labas.

May dumating na ten-wheeler truck, at ang balita—LIBRE sumakay! Walang bayad, walang tanong. As in, sumakay ka na lang kung gusto mong makauwi.

Napatingin ako sa relo—1:30 a.m. na pala. OMG! Kinuha ko agad ang backpack ko at sumabay sa mga taong sabik na ring makauwi sa kani-kanilang pamilya.

Kaya ngayon, gusto kong magpasalamat—mula sa kaibuturan ng puso ko—sa may-ari, driver, at staff ng truck na ‘yon. Hindi niyo alam kung gaano kalaki ang naitulong niyo sa amin. Walang kapalit. Walang kaplastikan.

Saludo ako sa inyo.

Ito lang ang munting paraan ko para ipaabot ang taos-puso kong pasasalamat.

At sa wakas…

Nakauwi rin ako.

But my happiness was short-lived as the truck coursed through the Lourdes Hospital near Don Bosco and Baltao Streets and after passing through submerged areas, it stuck.  The passengers still waited for about ten minutes, but since there were no motion and action we decided to leave the vehicle.

I found out that it was impossible to move due to massive cars and trucks in front of us.

To cut this long story short, I walked from Baltao to Quiapo in the early morning of August 12, 2018 and had cramps along the way.

I felt the exhaustion after I reached the Quiapo Church wherein my strength was renewed.  Thank you, Lord, for these unseen blessings.
