"Mom, I'm leaving!" I said goodbye to my mother who was washing her clothes, she looked at me and then smiled. She stood up in her seat and then approached me.
"Be careful daughter," she said that's why I nodded while smiling."Promise mom, I'll be back here with my dad," I said proudly so she laughed, she touched my cheek and then pulled me to hug. I closed my eyes and hugged my mother as well."Hopefully daughter," she whispered then let go of the hug and looked at me."All right, get out and you might get late caught on the bus, be careful," she said that's why I took my bag and then nodded to my mother."I'll be back too," I said then with a smile turned my back on my mother, I immediately followed the waiting tricycle on the side and then looked at my mother again."Your medicine! Don't forget to drink." I said, she smiled and nodded at me, I waved my two hands at her and then smiled."On the bus station," I told the tricycle driver I could arrange a seat. This is the beginning of the day when I will look for my father. I took out the picture that my mother gave me and then smiled while looking at the picture of my father, my mother was there with him and they were hugging each other."I'll be with you too, papa." I smiled and then hid the picture, a few minutes later when I got off the tricycle and got on the bus before I got on the bus where I was going to ride to the town where I heard my dad was there I first went through a minimart to buy the food I will need because it also takes a few days to travel there.
When I got on the bus, I immediately sat by the window and waited for the bus to start. I was distracted by someone sitting in the empty seat next to me.
I frowned when I saw him busy playing dumb ways to die.
"Can I die that way?" My forehead furrowed even more because of what the man next to me said. I just looked in front of me and then took a deep breath, I haven't been to another town yet but I immediately met a weird person.
I just turned my gaze to the window then slammed my earphone into my ear and plugged the end of it into my Nokia cellphone.
One day, I will have a cellphone just like the cellphone of the man next to me.
I leaned back in my seat and then closed my eyes to sleep for a while but a demon servant approached me causing me to look at the person next to me who was already looking at me."You seem to have paid." He said so I looked at the man standing next to him then smiled and took my purse from the pocket of my bag, but my forehead frowned when I felt that my purse was not there. I immediately searched my whole bag but the ground almost swallowed me with shame and trepidation because I didn't find a purse there.
"Where's my wallet?" I whispered to myself. I swallowed and looked at the one next to me who came out a thousand.
"We both paid." He told the conductor so my eyes widened and I felt ashamed of what the man next to me had done.
"Where's the chin?" he asked the man.
"One of the hermitages." The man answered and then pointed at me. "Just ask her," he said then went back to playing dumb ways to die. My lips parted as I looked at him. It only broke when the conductor called me."In the municipality of Roxas," I said then looked back at the man next to me. The conductor left so I felt even more embarrassed.
What? How do I say the word thank you to him? He was wearing earphones and playing dumb ways to die. I swallowed and then touched the man but he did not look at me. I touched him again and that time he looked at me.
He raised an eyebrow and waited for me to say something.
I pointed to the earphone that was plugged into his ear so he removed it, I smiled."Thank you, God bless you," I said but he just stared at me.
"I said thank you," I repeat.
"Oh done?" The man asked so I was surprised.
"Say 'You're welcome don't you--"
"Ah all right, all right, just wait for someone to talk about it." He said he then finally removed another earphone that was attached to his ear. "What's that Ms.?" He asked me causing me to stare and be ashamed of what I said.
I mean, was he talking to someone while on earphones? Josmio, Lord Please forgive me for what I did to him earlier. I'm just a human being and I made mistakes.
"Ms.? Are you saying something?" He asked me so I was scared.
"I-I said, s-thank you," I said. "G-God bless you," I added, he didn't say a word then put the earphone back on his ear and continued to play dumb ways to die while talking to someone.
Nothing welcome? 'you're welcome?'
I just looked out the window and closed my eyes, I didn't realize the time I fell asleep. I just woke up last night and I could feel hungry. I took the food I bought earlier and looked at the man next to me but he was no longer there and was empty again.I just shrugged my shoulders and then looked for my food when I could find something on the side of my bag, I wrinkled my forehead and saw that it was my wallet.
I was stunned to remember that it had not been there before so I immediately opened it and saw a small piece of paper tucked between twenty and five hundred.
"You fell your wallet earlier, let me get your fare earlier. Anyways, You're welcome."
~ DI almost dropped my jaw at what I read.Son of ten dogs ?!I got off the bus with a smile even though I was upset because of the man next to me, I still thought it was his money and then he also used my money, annoying. I hope he just returned my wallet to me.But he returned my wallet, just in case he took our fare. It's annoying, I feel like I'm a scam in that part. But even though that happened, I'm happy because I got down safely and arrived here in the town where my father leads, I heard that he is the one who leads here and runs this town, and I'm proud because my father did the right thing is about. "Ale, where is the municipality here?" I asked a woman who was selling fish on the side, and she looked at me and then pointed the way to the municipality, I immediately thanked her and made my way to the municipality. My smile widened, even more, when I was in front of the municipality. I observed the size and beauty of the design of the town hall where my father heads. I quickly straightened up my messy clothes and walked into the town
Damon POV "Annoying," I whispered then threw the cellphone I was holding. "What's up?" I looked at the person next to me who was staring at me, I took a deep breath then leaned back in my seat and crossed my arms with my eyes closed. "Nothing comes up on g****e how to die unscathed," I said, I heard her cough so I looked at her choking on what she was drinking. "Are you crazy? Why do you want to die?" She asked, once again I heard her pray and apologize to the person she was talking to. This woman, she's not going to lose her weirdness. "You're not there anymore," I said then got up from my seat and picked up the telescope that was next to me. "He's crazy." She whispered then shook, I just peeked at the telescope I was holding and then looked at what we were monitoring. "Have you ever tried to see a doctor?" She suddenly asked so I laughed. I lowered the telescope I was holding and then looked at her. "Have you ever tried to keep your mouth shut and not find out about things th

I asked, she looked at me and then smiled."4 years." She answered so I nodded, I even saw how she put some hair that escaped on her ear then smiled looking at me, I frowned at what she was doing. "Have you ever had patients who died but did not experience pain?" I asked, I saw the frown on her forehead. "Pardon?" She asked. "Ms. leave us." The nurse and I looked at the speaker, Gazer with Erelah and Havacco. I saw Gazer and Havacco's disgusted stare at me so I laughed, while Erelah looked at me worried. The nurse who was fixing the bandage on my arm came out, Havacco and Gazer gave me a strong rebuke so I looked at them annoyed while Erelah c
Erelah POV I sipped the soup on the spoon I was holding and then savored the taste. Maybe it's okay, maybe Damon isn't an avid fan of sour, is he? I immediately put out the fire on the stove then put the lid back on the casserole and then washed the plates. He said he would go to sleep, it looked like he would wake up later, the coffee he was making for me had also cooled down. When I finished washing the plate I swept, I stopped sweeping when Damon suddenly came down the stairs. "Hey, you're awake. Your food is ready, then your coffee is cold, do you just want to mix it?" I asked, he just looked at me, from head to toe then frowned when he looked around. "Am I at home?" I heard him whisper so I frowned. "That's right, I'm at home." He said then looked at me. "Ms. Are you wrong about the house being cleaned?" My jaw dropped at what he said. "Huh?" I asked confused. "Wait who are you and why are you at my home?" He asked, is this Damon joking? All right, then I'll just take him
I was just quietly standing here outside Damon’s house while Gazer and Havacco were inside and talking to Damon.I sighed and then looked at the sky, still not clear to me what was happening. All I could think was that Gazer and Damon were just friends, but why earlier, did Damon call Gazer 'Cousin'? I looked at the door of Damon's house when it opened and spat on Havacco with a cigarette on his lips. Havacco looked at me then smiled. "Gazer is putting Damon to sleep." He said then stood beside me, I smiled and then looked to the front. "That guy, he's weird sometimes." I was referring to Damon, I heard his weak laugh so I turned to him. "Maybe you'll be even weirder with him now that you're with him in the same house." He said, I kept looking at him so he turned to me. "Are you going to ask something?" He asked, I averted my eyes and then leaned back in my seat. "Earlier, he said he wasn't Damon. His name was Achaz. I don't know if he was joking or what, but he was weird before
Gazer POV For the third time, I gasped again as I wiped my wet hair and faced Damon’s small mirror. "I also want to help. I want to know something about the person I'm helping." I remembered again what Erelah had said earlier. I don't have a problem if she helps Damon, my only reason is that I don't want to tell her everything because she will know our work and I know she will report to the police. I lowered the towel I was holding and then looked at my reflection. "I don't want to go back to a time when I would lose myself again." I suddenly clenched my fist as I remembered the last conversation we had with Damon when he was in the hospital. His illness returned, and his fear returned. I feel sorry for my friend because of what he faces. I got out of the CR and looked in the direction of Erelah who was sleeping on the sofa, Havacco looked in my direction then laughed. "Is that stress?" I stared at him then sat in a chair and poured water into a glass. "What's the plan?" Hava
Shawn and I silently watched the boy in front of us as he put on his clothes, Shawn and I looked at each other then looked back at the boy who introduced us as Damon."Damon, you said earlier that Achaz is inside you, what do you mean by that?" Shawn asked, Damon, looked at us after getting dressed.We are still in their house, in the other room where Damon told us this is his room. He had just finished taking a bath earlier. We said we would take him with us if he would take a bath and fix himself."I'm sick." He said coldly as he looked at us. "Multiple Personality Disorder." He added so Shawn and I looked at each other, we didn't know what that meant."What's that?" I asked. We watched Damon go to his clothes, looking for something."Two human beings in one body." He said while looking for someone."Are you crazy?" Shawn asked so I immediately kicked him."Does he mean, mentally ill?" I asked, but he didn't say a word. He pulled out a key and then looked at us."If you want to chang
Shawn and I just stared at the person in front of us, He smiled at us which made me cringe because this was the first time we saw Damon smile at us, in a month when the three of us were together he hadn't smiled at us. Damon is, a reason for me to believe even more that he is not Damon but he is Achaz.I smiled at him and then took out the notebook and ballpen."Eat Achaz, will you come with us later?" I asked while not looking at him, I started writing in the notebook I took out, I heard Shawn muttering softly so I looked at him looking at Achaz."Shawn, serve Achaz food, my cousin shouldn't be hungry," I said so Shawn looked at me confused about what was happening, even though he didn't get what was happening and he was in a mess he just obeyed my command, I smiled then turned my gaze to Achaz who was looking at me."Sit here cousin," I said while looking at him."Cousin? Why did you say, cousin?" He asked then slowly approached in front of me."In case Achaz comes out, introduce you
