I woke up because of the loud laughter of Miko. And again, I saw the boy who just dived into the water and moments after not even a minute after, the boy has a bundle of fish on his grip. Namangha ako sa kaniyang kaliskis na kumikinang. It was gold but theres a shimmering metallic blue and violet spect of light as the sun ray reflected to them . But the eyes…
Oh.. nakakatakot talaga. It was pure black. But his not blind I know.
Err..
Miko was laughing really hard when he was amaze by the 'good job' of the kid.
"Hey! GIVE ME THE FISH NOW! The fire was set", Akini shouted on Miko and the boys direction. His preparing a smoked sea food this morning.
Nakakahiya dahil ako ang huling nagising. Hinanap ko ang iba at nakita ko si Doktora na nagsusulat sa kaniyang journals notebook sa di kalayuan. Ano kayang sinusulat niya?
Si Yuan na may hawak na macbook. (Where'd he get that?)
And Max who was checking the plane I think? Nasa loob kasi siya at parang may ginagawa. Maybe checking the gas or the navigator system.
Nasaan si Larrence?
I almost jumped when someone talk from behind. Speaking of the goddess who descended in the forest holding a pile of barks and dried woods for cooking.
"Dapat tayong mga babae, inaalagaan "(Korean), nilingon ko siya. "hindi ginaganito"(Korean), he continued at tiningnan ang mga hawak. "Here.. tulungan mo ako girl"(Korean), he said lending me the other branch.
Bakla nga talaga 'to. Maniwala ka Stellar. Maniwala ka kahit na ang cute niya ngayong umaga. Bakla yan.
Brain: Copy that
Myself: Geez I hope this human with cute face do not have a male genetalia.
Napatingin ako agad kay Max na bumaba na sa plane.
And I felt the gap between us this past few days. He noticed me staring at him and I think his brother Akini had shared some contagious serious mood para tingnan niya lang ako at umiwas agad ng tingin.
Tss.. yeah right
Pinuntahan namin si Miko whose still congratulating the kids work, fishing. And then they laughed when the other fish jump off and splat on Akini's face whose fixing the fire.
Akini got mad, not too mad but it was surprised for the first time.
I didn't know he 'roars'.
"Nga pala may L.Q ba kayo ng pinsan ko? (Korean)He seemed aloof yesterday" Larence said.
I almost forgot I have a gay companion.
"Ah.. we don't have any 'thing' to fight", saad ko na lalong nagturo sa akin upang tingnan ulit si Max.
Esh… Nakakanibago kasi.
Open Mind: He focus on the plan. You should too.
Close Mind: Sabagay, top notcher yan sa school daw. So its natural he really concentrates on the real deal for the notching result. Tss
"Owss.. Huwag ka ah, alam kung may nangyari na sa inyo(Korean)", and he giggled..
I think I'll be having a heart attack. Geez, his so gay. Pero anong tinutukoy niyang nangyari? The Ahh ahh thing?
No!!!
"Ano.. walang nangyari sa amin. Magfocus nalang tayo sa plano. Not that topic,not now please", I said.
And for Pete's sake don't tell me, I did not see that coming.
This cute guy.. unfortunately handsome gay had just rolled his eyes on me?
Oh… I can feel my biatch side heating in.
As we finally reached the lads and give them the needed.
"Hahahaha… parang may mutual understanding kami ng merboy Stress Reliever. Naiintidihan niya ang sinsabi ko kahit mukhang hindi Hahaha"(Japanese), Miko said na nakaharap ngayon sa bata habang pina-pasuot ang boxer.
I can't believe it. Parang kakagising ko lang tapos, apat na kataga lang ang sumabog sa harapan ko; 'Anong nangyayari sa mundo?'
Haist. Mukhang ang saya-saya ng bata ng naisuot niya ang boxer na pinasuot ni Miko.
"That's his. Probably used. Disgusting asshole", Akini said na nakatingin rin pala sa direksyon nina Miko at ang bata.
Napailing na rin ako.
Moments later before I got suffocated with the smoke the boy leave Miko and came to me. His awful smell was gone now maybe because he was soaked in water? And mabe if he dried up, you wanna throw up and never forget to curse. Doktora told us he was an escapee from the quarantine and his parents and his twin was still there, hopingly. And she got that story because she know a little Cantonese.
I might be sound bad, but I really intend not to talk with thid kid because of his eyes. It was like hollowed and any demon could possesses him plus the fishy smell. Miko may have a problem with his nostrils and Mrs. Patricia too.
"Dao Ji, right?", I approached him.
Tiningnan niya lang ako.
"May sasabihin ka ba?",(Cantonese), I asked in good and approachable sister-voice
"Sabi ng doktora tutulungan niyo daw ako. Totoo ba yun?"(Cantonese), I smiled at him and offer him a stick of squid but he wince.
"Ayaw mo?", umiling siya. Ano bang iniisip ko? His a merboy… Miko started to call him that like a half mermaid and a boy…. He should really hate it when some of his friends where offered to him as food.
"Syempre tutulungan ka namin. Papalayain namin ang mga magulang mo para makauwi kayo. Huwag ka ng matakot bata.",(Cantonese), and with that he only needed. Assurance.
Others don't speak or understand his language so I guess he talk to me and doktora except for playing with Miko in some gestures for understanding.
I feel sad for the boy and I do promise, we'll help his family to be free.
>>>>>>
The rock is a towering edifice, with maybe a hundred floors? I want that someday I will set a camping on top but not now because we'll be moving to the next journey.
To Midway, but theres a problem.
Dao Ji, whose beside me wandering at Miko's beautiful untouchable Asterix. His wings was gold with shining spect of light like of those Dao Ji's scales. It has perfect edges, looking sharp yet so smooth. He was like a fairy throwing some pixie dust and puff. His cute in it, kulang na lang custome.
I laugh in my thought.
"Okay… wait for us here.", Miko said
"I always do the purchase", Max blurted when Miko was behind him prepared to take him.
They need to go and get some gasoline. And Max knows that his transformation is needed in times of this problems. HE must because his capable of doing it cut and clean_ getting something without no one noticing.
We'll wait for them for maybe an hour or minutes before taking our flight to East Island (One of the islet at Midway).
"We need to go before the sunset", Akini said
"Pwede bang sumama ako sa inyo?"(Cantonese), the boy asked.
His eyes were pleading but I can't take that as a yes.
"Makinig ka Dao Ji, ayaw ka naming mapahamak kaya mas mabuti ng dito ka sa islang 'to. Hintayin mo kami at ng mga magulang mo at ng kakambal mo"(Cantonese)
"Pero ate, iilan lang kayo, sila marami at nakakatakot. Gusto kong tumulong"(Cantonese).
Tama siya pero ang bata niya at hindi ko matitiis kung mapahamak siya. Pero buong buo ang desisyon ng bata na tumulong at wala namang masama dun kung tutulong siya sa ibang paraan.
"Kung ganun", (Cantonese)
"MAkinig ka –", I said to him. Umupo kaming dalawa sa buhangin. I drew the Island.
Hindi siya dapat sasama sa amin na pasukin ang nasa loob ng islang yun.
Then I told him what to do.
>>>>
Past 6 when we arrived at East Island, there are few tourist in that hour enjoying the beautiful sunset.
And we thought we arrive just fine when someone came to us, to Doktora. We did not run because the lady was doing alright, but we know for sure she's suspecting us.
"This is Nari, my former nurse assistant", Mrs.Ramlee introduce her for us. The lady smiled but we didn't.. Ah, except for Miko who shook hands with her.
And the rest were serious.
"Maasahan ba natin ang doktorang yan? Paano kung siya ang dahilan kung ba't palagi tayong natutuntun?(Korean)", Yuan said whose behind me, pertaining to Mrs.Ramlee.
I didn't have a doubt about that so o worries but
"Doktora", i called her. This was no good, kahit na kilala niya ang babae, at napagkatiwalaan niya noon sa trabaho, ibang iba na ngayon. Pero ang pagduda ni Yuan kay Doktora, hindi ko yun matatanggap.
Doktora hugged the lady.
Para nga silang magkaibigan.
"F*ck!", Miko, Akini, and Max
Sh*t!- me
"Why did you do that"
Nagulat kaming lahat dahil sa ginawa ni Doktora sa babae.
"Shh.. Help me carry this filthy snake", Doktora said na pasimpleng inalalayan ang babaeng nawalan ng malay dahil sa ginawa niyang pangunguryente.
"Poor pretty lady", Miko commented as he carried the lady.
Inalalayan namin ni Miko ang babae.
May mangilan ngilan na nakatingin sa amin.
"My sister fainted, anemic", I reasoned out when a group of blondes came toward to asked what did just happened
Iniwan namin ang babae malapit sa malaking bato at tumakbo kami ni Miko bago may makakita pa sa amin.
