Chapter-139

Trident

Jay-jay's POV

"Jay... Ice cream..." Ci-N grumbled but I ignored her. "Ice
cream... Ice cream..." She's been teasing me for a while now. It's annoying when I bring her food. She doesn't
know how to clean up after herself. She's also very lazy . "Jay... Jay... Jay... Jay...JAY!" She shouted. I just
slammed my hand on the study table. It's annoying! It's annoying! "Enough! It's night! Go to sleep!" I shouted at
her. Suddenly she sobbed and rolled on the floor. "Jay-jay is fighting me!" She said and started crying. Oh my!
Why does this Bata'ng Kumag's anger seem to be getting stronger?! He just got bitten by a cat and then it's
like this. Could it be that we've already caught up and the rabies has reached his brain? This is bad! Should I
take him back to the hospital or should I go straight to the mental hospital? "Yes... I'll get it!" I said and
immediately left the room. I didn't do anything either! I went straight to the kitchen. Unfortunately, when I got
there, there was no ice cream. Aries had already taken the last one. I caught him grabbing a spoon while he
had what I was supposed to have in one hand. "Can I have that?" I pleaded. He just looked at me and
struggled to pass in front of me. Pfftt! Greed! There's no ice cream. I'm done with Bata'ng Kumag. I went back
to the room and slowly opened the door. I was thinking that he was already asleep. But to my dismay, he was
awake. Wake up, wake up. The mud is alive and well! "My ice cream!" She said. "It's gone." She started sobbing
again and rolling around on the floor. I just scratched the back of my head. "I'll buy it for you." I said and
immediately grabbed my cellphone and wallet from the table. Suddenly she stopped crying and stood up.
Huh? "Buy me a midnight snack too." She said and handed me the money. "If you come with me, I can!" I said
annoyed. "No... You can do that. You've reached 17 without me. That's all!" She said and lay down on the bed.
"...Hurry up." Oh wow! You just gasped in amazement at this pest of a child. It's different ! I couldn't say
anything. I walked out. I didn't say goodbye, maybe they were taking a break. I took my bike from the garage. It
was dark on the road, thanks to the light on the pole and my path was illuminated. Next time I'll buy a flasher
or my bike so I can ride my bike at night. This Bata'ng Kumag is a nuisance! I went straight to the Mini Mart
near us. It's 24/7 so I can buy it here at any time. I parked my bike and went inside. There weren't many
people, it was already night. I was alone in the Mini Mart! While I was eating ice cream. I felt the presence of a
person behind me. I didn't move for a moment, I felt what he was going to do. I also looked at the reflection of
the glass door of the refrigerator. I was trying to see the face of the person behind me but it was hard to see.
"You took so long to shop." The person behind me suddenly said. Wait! It's--- "David!" I shouted as I faced him.
He smiled at me and I immediately slapped him in the chest . I was so nervous! "Ouch! What is that for?" He
said annoyed. "You scared me to death!" He suddenly laughed. "Because you look so serious. I'll just get some
ice cream, you're still staring at me." "I'm shopping!" I said annoyed and turned to the fridge again. Disturbing!
"Are you doing something?" He asked. I shook my head without facing him. I barely managed to find Ci-N's
avorite flavor. Rakki----este! Rocky Road! Rocky road! Where is the rocky road?! I'll just slap the kid for making
such a face. "Do you want to eat first? It's free." David said. I immediately turned to him and smiled. "Let's go...
That ice cream can wait." He smiled at me while shaking his head. It's bad to refuse the grace. Besides, it's
ree. It's only once in a while that I stumble across something free on the road. I only took juice and a pre-
heated sandwich. I was still full, it's a shame I only ate a little for dinner earlier. "You just went out for ice
cream?" he asked. I nodded. "For my visit to the house." "Ci-N... Why didn't you bring her with you?" "Oh my!
That kid is so lazy!" "Can't argue with that." I opened the sandwich wrapper and waited for it to cool. "You? Why
did you go out?" I turned to him. "I can't sleep. Overthinking, I guess." He answered and bowed slightly. "Why?"
"I don't know." "About what?" "Many things." "Tell me!" I insisted. "You won't understand it. It's just some
random thing." I just pouted. I really didn't want to talk, I couldn't do anything. I just stared at the sandwich in
ront of me. While eating, I heard my phone ring. I took it out of my pocket and the name of the Pest King of
the Snakes popped up . From: King Ulupong Message: Where are you? I was furious. I had no intention of
replaying that joke. He asked me where I was. You look like a guy, you even outdid my---so called---fiancé.
"Why?" David asked me. "Nothing... I think it was just a wrong send." I excused myself and continued eating.
"Keifer, right?" he asked and suddenly I choked. "...I knew it." "How did you *cough* say that?" I asked.
"Instinct." His arrogant answer. Oh! There he is again, David's social instinct. Always accurate! How can you
have a social instinct? I drank juice in case my choking went away. "Are you Keifer?" I suddenly spit out the
juice and almost threw up in my seat. Damn! My throat hurts! Shit! It burns! "S-sorry..." David said while
supporting me and reaching for a tissue. "King*cough*... It's a joke!" He suddenly laughed. If I hadn't been
crying from choking, I might have killed him with my stare. It was also a good time for this idiot to ask
questions. It was shocking! When I felt better, I drank again. Just hurry up and maybe this David would ask
again. It really hurts! "Your clothes got wet." He said and handed me another tissue. I took it and wiped my
clothes on the chest. I took out my necklace first, because I felt like it was wet too. As I continued wiping, I
noticed David staring at my chest. This idiot! "I'll poke your eyes out!" I threatened him. "Huh?" "Your eyes!
They're really staring!" "S-sorry... Your necklace. Why does it have a ring?" I grabbed the necklace. The
engagement ring. They didn't know about it. "B-it was given to me, so I couldn't wear it so I just put it here." I
excused myself. He nodded in acceptance of my answer. "...W-who gave me this necklace?" I changed the
subject. He might suddenly ask who gave it to him, I didn't know how to answer. "You're so slow..." He said,
causing my eyebrows to furrow. "...Until now, you still don't have a clue." This is it! "Just tell me!" He took a
deep breath and moved closer to me. "What's in the box?" He asked. "Nothing... Except for the symbol of
Poseidon's Trident." I answered. "Exactly! That's your clue." Well, I can't think of any Poseidon I know. Wait!
Since Christmas and New Year, I've been thinking about that but I have no idea. "Eh?" David just slapped his
orehead. He must have taken a deep breath a few times . "Do you know any of Poseidon's child?" He asked. I
shook my head. "There are so many children of Poseidon in Greek Methodology." "You don't know anyone?" "I
only know the fictional character Percy Jack----" I was stunned. You're really weak, Jay-jay! I looked at David
who was smiling at me and seemed to be saying 'See you'. That's cool! Google is all the rage but I don't seem
to know how to use it. I didn't think of that right away. Bad trip! But wait! If Percy gave me this.... "Are you and
Percy seeing each other?" I asked him. "No... He just sent it to me." "B-but are you talking?" I groaned. David
was staring at me in the eyes. Tact! Your head was already hurting from thinking about it. Then this was the
only answer in front of me. Ah, maybe it was intense! "He'll call whenever he wants. We don't have complete
communication." He answered me and I almost softened. What a deception! Irritated! I held David's hand and
looked at him full of conversation . "David! Go ahead... I-I want to talk to him." I said. He stared at my hand and
his hand was actually cold. I don't know how long we've been like that. Until he suddenly pulled his hand away
and took a deep breath. "I can send him a message but I can't guarantee he'll answer." He said and took out
his phone. He pressed it and typed a message. He also pointed the camera at me. "Smile." He said. But before
I could smile, I heard the sound of the cam. Beast! "I don't want to fix it!" I said annoyed. "Send." He said and
put the phone down in front of him. We just stared at each other for a few minutes. I wanted to take David's
phone and text Percy. Putnam! Because it's thrilling! I've already finished my sandwich and juice. I even ate
David's food but still nothing, until suddenly the phone lit up and '1 Message' came out. David took his phone
and read what was written. He looked at it and seemed hesitant to read the message out loud. I was staring
at him intently so he didn't do anything either. But I was stunned when I heard the content of the message he
was reading. "Remove that ring from the necklace... Or i will kill Yuri when i get back there."
