After watching that horrible incident, that woman, the owner of the oak tree never let Gregorio live on his own. His distaste to his wife had been sever, he even never went near a woman; even his own mother. Gregorio had been several again to Lito's house and many a times did Lita intended to stay to catch up or figure out what really happened to him. The more that Lita wants to involve more, the nightmare progresses to a point that her hands would be bleeding after she wakes up.
Lita conspired with his brothers and asked them to observe any suspicious actions. And both side were glad that they had both felt something off. Lito and Leon often catch Gregorio spacing out but his eye sight is always directed towards the oak tree. They would sometimes have had to call him or intervene him many a times because he would be unconsciously moving towards the oak tree even though they are in the middle of the work. It's as if he heard a voice that only he can hear. And it's true, the female voice that he had been hearing is only meant to be heard by him.
I watch as this horrible woman keeps on calling Gregorio even in the middle of the night. She now has the total control of him, except not totally. As Gregorio would be in or out of his consciousness, it means he is fighting back. I thought it would be a disaster when this cruel woman literally slept next to him in their own house as she guides her to face her, to cuddle her.
But just when I thought he would be doing it, he suddenly faced his wife and would cuddle her and protect her. I admire this man but he really needs a help soon, really soon while he can still control his own mind. I had been watching, only been watching; for I am a weak creature it seemed. I can't fight her back, I tried but I lost.
I went to her house the moment I realized she voodooed someone. I started chopping her house down, and it's really shaking. I was having hope that it would really tear down but it didn't. It only shook in our world; it really did start to crack but only in our world. In reality, in the human's world the oak tree had to be cut physically by a human also. The horrible woman was angry at me when she felt her house shaking. She threw me off just with a flick of her finger, and just a word from her almost made me became a part of her house, or the oak's root. She threatened to turn me into a tree or one of his roots if I would try anything like that again. The down side for all of us, unseen creature is we can't kill each other, we can torture each other but we won't die. Only humans themselves can kill us.
I went to Gregorio's mother's and found Josepha there. They were both in the dirty kitchen watching over the rice. The fire is good, the smoke is going to the right direction, there are many firewood stocked, the fire is making both of them warm . But both of them were silent when I arrived, a tear was rolling down the eye of Josepha and Gregorio's mother in despair. Gregorio's mother spoke and told her that she would talk to Gregorio's father again about their son's marriage matter. I was in shock and angry, it is not Josepha's fault that they are childless and it's not Gregorio's fault either, it's just that evil exists in this world in our world.
Their separation as husband and wife is already in the talks
It's not fair even for me. I am horrid.
So when Gregorio's mother was alone already. I did my best to communicate with her. It's hard to communicate with an abled person, they won't hear me or they can choose not to hear me. But some are willing and are open to listen and I'm glad she did listen. She did not go directly to his son's house; she went to Lita's house just I had instructed her. Lita and Lita's siblings were not surprised when she arrived even at night. Lito and Leon had said what they observed and Lita shared the nightmares she had been too.
Gregorio's realized that a ₁tinmongaw had fallen in love with his son. That's when she also realized the times when Gregorio seemed to had always been irritated when she visits them or he visits her. A tinmongaw creature that she heard while she was still younger can fall in love with a human and is very jealous. They hate it when the man is near a woman, any kind of woman as long as it's a female. That's the reason why Gregorio always felt irritated every time he is around or near a woman, it's not their emotion that's playing it's the tinmongaw emotions that are controlling the men.
A she-tinmongaw is hard to deal with because they would literally work as if they are the wife. They feel and act as if they are the legal wife.
Gregorio's close family were the ones who figured out his problem thus they need to do something about it.
They called the perfect group for this kind of problem. They called the group of the teenager again. They immediately sorted out the problem. But it be harder for them to convince the victim that he is a victim. It would be hard to explain to a man that someone had fallen in love with them that it's not their spouse, but its someone else that's even a person. It would be harder also to wake them up into their unconsciousness especially if the unseen creature had already showed him something that humans can't resist.
Golds, diamonds and treasures that a human hadn't even seen. And a promise that it will be hard to let go, a promise that the man would be treated like a king, with many children, and she as her as his wife and servant forever.
But it would only be effective if Gregorio would live with her, with her in her unseen world.
₁ tinmongaw – an unseen creature that lives in the nature. They are usually divided into two ,those who lives on a tree in a forest or mountain ,and those who lives on the stones in river or springs.
