CASPIAN POV
Is everything's ready? he said in his mind. He packed his belongings one by one before finally leaving the hotel room where he was staying. After checking everything he decided to leave. But before he left he stopped in the mirror.
"Still handsome" and he pose like a model. He is a half British and a half Portuguese and many others but he has no Filipino blood that he hopes he has. He has this pair blue green eyes that looks like the color of the ocean and his rosy cheeks and flawless skin as if without even knowing the word 'scar'. He has a pointed nose that match on his perfect face and lastly his kissable lips that look like they used to be snow white, very red. Many women stumble upon him, others just want to get pregnant just for his genes.
She stopped describing his self before he became gay and married his self. He picked up his belongings and got out and took a taxi. When he arrived there, he immediately looked for the bus going to Pinamungajan but he could not find it, so he asked first, that as far as he knew it was a conductor because of its clothes. He approached a bald man who was about 45 years old, he called it first and then asked.
"Ahm .. Excuse me" he turned and then smiled
"Yes Ser"
"Can you tell me where is the bus going to Pinamungajan?" I asked
"Pinamungajan?"
"Yes" I smiled even though he just repeated it
"Ahhh over there seerr" he pointed to the one on the center bus
"Thank you po" he just nodded in response so I walked but I was shocked that he followed me and then shouted ..
"Cardo !! Naa kay pasahero!" (Cardo !! You have a passenger) "Come in Ser" I entered and sit in front of the bus next to the driver.
A few more minutes and people are already entering to Pinamingajan bus, actually I am not really going to the Pinamungajan area but the Landlady told me that I need ride this bus so that I can go to the said place. I looked at my watch, it was about four o'clock in the afternoon, it looks like I'll arrive late because of the traffic and also it's Saturday. I took my headset and then closed my eyes and leaned back in my chair. I just felt the car signal that it was full and we were leaving. The trip is still far away so let me introduce myself.
My name is Caspian Griffin, call me Pain or Ian but I prefer to be called Pain, 28 years old single and ready to mingle . I know your wondering why I can understand and speak tagalog where I am not even a Filipino it is because I lived over 1000 yrs charos hhahahha Ive been living in Manila for almost 5 yrs now. I only decided to be here in Cebu because I needed another hideout so that my very good mother would not find me. 5yrs ago I ran away from home because I don't like the responsibilities they place on me, it's too heavy and I can't imagine if I can do all that so I think she tracks my nest so that she can send me home but I still don't want to go home. I still have less vacation mother, I still need to think more.
I was in the middle of my meditation when I suddenly fell in my seat causing the other passengers to laugh.
"Dika anad ug byahe dong?" (Aren't you used to the trip dong?) A grandmother asked me
"I'm sorry, I do not understand the biasaya" I apologized to the grandmother, she helped me get up and return to the chair. Ghad! It hurt my ass! . That's why I fell because the road we took today is full of humps? What the heck? Why is the road full of humps? I just clung to the window.
"Ahh do you live in Manila?"
"Ah yes, I live there"
"What are you doing here in Cebu?"
"I'm just on vacation here"
"Is that so? Where are you going now?"
Grandma isn't too gossipy hihi.
" I'm just going somewhere in the area of Boundary Bato" her eyebrows met. I did not realize that many people were just listening to our conversation so I could hear some whispering that I could not understand.
"What are you going to do in that place? Just go to other places not there"
This time I met the eyebrow.
"Why?"
"Oh, that place is dangerous!"
"How did you say that?"
"Many people are dying there! Even the police do not want to come and investigate there because of the types of people living there"
Suddenly it gives me goosebumps from what the old lady said to him as if like he doesn't want to continue going there but there's this feeling that still pushing him to continue the plan.
"Please don't scare me like that"
"I'm telling the truth dong"
"Ah okay po if everything you said is true do not worry I can take care of myself, I will sleep first it looks like two more hours before I arrive there " I just smiled at her then did not wait her to answer back and I just lay my head and act like I am sleeping.
If what the Old lady said earlier is true, then I will not really stay there long, but when I talked to the Land lady on the phone, her tone was kind. Maybe not everything the old lady said to him was true, maybe she was just scaring me. I sent a message to that Landlady first so that she can wait for me when I arrive there, you know I hate waiting. After he used his cellphone, he put it in his bag and tried to close his eyes, later on he was swallowed up by his drowsiness.
A loud horn of the bus woke him up.
" Pasensya naa ray ming agi iro" (I'm sorry a dog just passed by) even though he only understood the part he was sorry he still smiled and said
"it's okay" Caspian is sooo kind "Are we close to Boundary Bato?"
"Boundary Bato bah? Here we are. Right in here in this old church "
He remembered what the Landlady said that there was an old church that I could pass by and that I could go down
"I'm here" I stood up, before I left the driver told me something
"Be careful son not bad animals are over there but bad people" then he smiled at him scary.
He just smiled and then hurried downstairs. He first watched the bus leave until it disappeared from his sight and he just walked to look for a small alley, maybe the Landlady was already there waiting for him.
"That was creepy" he said as he put on his jacket.
As he walks he sees no people. I think they're already sleeping .. It's already past 10 in the evening. When due to traffic he was delayed by the former. The surroundings are very dark, only street lights provide light on the road. He rolled his eyes around it was really scary as if someone was looking at you in every dark part of the place. This place is creepy. He just kept looking for the alleged alley until he reached a part of the dead light lamppost, he noticed that it had a road, it was not small nor too wide just enough for a tricycle to pass. This is probably what Landlady is saying but speaking of Landlady where is she? I thought she was going to wait for me? maybe she fell asleep waiting. I called her number but it keeps on ringing only haysss I dialed it again but still no one is answering.
"It might be a scam fuck!"
"Psst hkhkhkhk"
My eyes widened of what I heard. It was as if I had been stoned and sweating. Is there a monster on this place?!!!!
"Pssstttt hkhkhkhkhkhkhk"
I still did not look at it and was ready to run.
"Hkhkhkhkhkhkhkkhkhkhk"
I guess he laughs differently like a bad element, maybe this a vampire!!! I think I'm going to pee, where are you Landlady!
"Woiii hkhkhkhkhk"
I looked at it slowly. I see a dark man staggering on the road now and laughing alone and holding a bottle of wine and carrying a knife.. A knife ?? !! What will he do with the knife? !!
"Woi ge tawag man tika nganong di man ka maminaw ?!" (Woi I called you why don't you listen ?! Are you deaf ?!)
I did not know what to answer him because I could not understand him so I remained silent and still retreated towards the dark alley. He still tells me a lot but I can't understand all!! . Oh god!! what place did I enter, I'll be dead in no time, it's a waste of my genes! Who will inherit the properties of my momshie and my popsie! When I really see that damn Landlady, I will really make her bald! I wish I had just listened to mother and came home and would not have been stranded here!!!
It's scary to look at the old man. The back part of its head is bald but has bangs that are only a few strands. Who messed up his hair ?! It also has a tattoo but it looks like a drawing of a five year old child, it also has a piercing on both ears and one side of its lips. It was approaching him until it ran its feet spontaneously, so I also ran into the alley but was stopped by the force of the light I encountered. He covered his hand slightly to his eyes so he could see the man behind this light. He doesn't see much of the face but he knows there are people, yes people. There are many of them, about five people.
"Woi!" someone suddenly grabbed his shoulder. Fuck! This old man lost his mind! So he ran towards the people who owned the light.
"Help! Help me someones chasing me!" he said breathlessly as he ran.
As he approached he could see that they're carrying something like a baton so he thought that it might be disciples of the barangay and patrolled at night. He was relieved because finally someone will save him from the bald man with bangs my ghad! He ran until he reached their place and he saw five .. lesbian? Guard tomboys? Are they all girls? Three tall women and two little girls. They look fierce , they are wearing the same tshirt with the brand "PEACE" color black and they are both in pajamas. They both chewing a bubble gum.
"Ahmm are u the peacemakers here? Someone is chasing me right now he is so black and weird and he carries a knife I think he wants to kill me"
"Wooooooiiiiii"
"There he is !!!! STOP FOLLOWING ME YOU CRAZY UNCLE PUT YOUR KNIFE DOWN here are the tanod they are going to report you so let go of that!"
This old man over here has a thick face, the law enforcement officers are already in front of him, he even waved the knife he was holding.
"Tanod? Where?"
I think he's asking where
"Them" I pointed to the women carrying batons, I did not see their faces very well because they turned off the light earlier.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHA"
"Wh-why are u laughing? Why are you laughing alone?"
"Tanod ng mga nawnga? Hahhahahhahahhahah" (Are those faces looks like a tanod?)
"Dongkoy" the short hair said "It's late why are you still wondering around here?
Her voice was soft but threatening.
"Oh dae mo uli nako, ako raning ge hadlok lakiha murag nasaag man gud." ( okay dae, im going home now Im just scaring him it looks like he doesn't belong here)
It started walking and It staggered along the road into the dark alley. I just followed it with my gaze until it disappeared. It was as if darkness had swallowed it up.
"Hey Joe!" call the little girl of me but it has a long hair
"Me?" I pointed myself
"Who else?"
"Why?"
" Do you speak tagalog?"
"Yes I can understand and speak well tagalog"
"Do you speak English?"
"yes"
"SPEAK TAGALOG!!!!!" my eyes widened because she suddenly shouted
>. <
"O-okaay chill"
"Kano are not allowed here, what are you doing here?"
I just noticed that their pajamas come in different colors. They look cute even though they look angry.
"Ahh because I wish I could go on vacation here because I saw a place to rent near here in your place so I went"
"Ahhh to Aling Fely" he nodded
"Do you know her?"
"Of course we are from here and who doesn't know that fat woman? HAHAHHAHAHAH" she laughed loudly even though she was small.
"Can you tell me where I can find her?"
"And why should we do that? ". Powerpuff 2 says I don't know the name, that's it for now.
"I thought you were a member of a barangay officers?"
>. <
"And who said that?" powerpuff3
"When did we become barangay officers ?" powerpuff 5
"I thought you are tanods"
"tanods? " powerpuff 1
"HAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAH" they laughed at the same time
" this is the first time someone call me a tanod putcha!" powerpuff2
"Especially me HAHAHHAHHAHA" powerpuff 5
"Meaning your not tanod?" >. <
"Na ah!" powerpuff 4
"Then what are you? Why are you carrying a baton?"
" this is a Baseball bat woii! Baton your face" powerpuff 2
Is that a baseball bat? There is so much to see. Suddenly my phone rang and by the grace of God the caller was Landlady so I answered it immediately.
" Hello?"
"Oh, I'm sorry I fell asleep hahahhha"
Haha, it's okay, I'll just shave your head after this
"ahh that's right, it's ok I'm here now on the road can you take me now?"
"I'm sorry son what time is it? Oh no! wait I'll be there in a minute"
She turned off the call, it seemed like she was in a hurry, it would be good, he was really tired and he wanted to rest but still he's stuck right in front of this Powerpuff Girls.
"Oh, who is that? Fely?" question by powerpuff 3
"ahh yes, she's coming here"
"It's good then" powerpuff 2, I just nodded and then turned my attention back to my cp
"Asa si Jerica?" (where is Jerica?) powerpuff 4
"wako kibaw padung na guro to" (I don't know maybe she's coming )
"kay magsugod nata" (because we will start)
"hmmmm"
>. <
I can't understand them but they mentioned a name Jerica, maybe they are still waiting for someone and that 's her. A few minutes later the Landlady finally arrived and guess what? She was bald. How can I shave her hair when she's already a bald one? . Why do I seem to see so much baldness now? Is this a sign that I should shave my hair?
"Come on, hurry up" she seemed to be in a hurry. She carried the others of my belongings and then she talked to the powerpuff girls.
" Pasensya, way labot ning tawhana ug pasensya sa paghuwat ug dugay" (please forgive me and this man he is not guilty and sorry if you waited a long time) then she bowed and then we walked quickly.
I do not know why we are in a hurry now. I looked at the women earlier they were all looking at me and the powerpuff 4 seemed to be smiling. I was shocked when suddenly something fell in front of me. One girl. It walked closer to me. She is wearing a hoodie jacket and a denim high waist short.
She's just a little girl who is only 5'0 in height, her curly hair is long, the wind blew her hair. That cold gray eyes that seem to be seductive and her less sharp nose that just fits her heart shaped face and lastly her paled lips, not too red but it looks like I want to be the one who will turn that red while biting and licking. She's ...
"beautiful .."
She only gave me a blank look. Her eyes seemed lifeless, as if she was always threatening, always challenging as if at any moment she could hurt you. That look, I know that this one is more dangerous than any other powerpuff girls I've met earlier.
"Kapitan"
