Hehe 450,000
Jay-jay's POV
This is a dream....nightmare. My eyes are still wide as I simply peer out the window of the room I woke up in. My hair is disheveled and there is still some dirty saliva. But that's not what I'm worried about. There's the culprit. The shameless one is walking along the beach. The waves are about to get stronger and then he'll be swept away, he's an animal! Oh, look! I immediately hid by the window. He can't possibly know that I'm awake. I turned around and looked around the entire room. I was hoping there was a telephone I could use or that I could see my stuff. But the room was beautiful, the walls were made of bamboo and the floor was made of wood. I don't know if it's real or just a design. There was a ceiling fan but it didn't seem necessary because the wind was strong coming in from the window. There were two doors inside, one probably leading out and the other probably to the bathroom. Both were made of bamboo but looked sturdy. I almost jumped when I saw my bag on the table, which was also made of bamboo. I quickly approached it and rummaged through it. I had already blown up my things just to quickly ï¬nd my cellphone but I was disappointed when I couldn't ï¬nd anything. Shutanginamers! "You're so shameless!" I shouted. This was really planned! Sir Alvin is in on this. And I'll blow up the volcanoes if I ï¬nd out that Kuya Angelo is in on this too. Kuya can't do this to me. Like nevah! I need to get out of here without being noticed by that Keiâ€" that animal. I'm sure there's a house nearby and I'll be called there. I took my bag and looked for my shoes. I saw them near the bed but my socks weren't there. It was different, they were gone. I just left them. I just carried all my things and I'll put my shoes on later. You can walk on the sand. I approached the door and slowly opened it. I peeked in for a moment to make sure no one else would see me. When I was sure no one was there, I slowly walked out. I was greeted by a small balcony inside the house where I was standing. The ceiling was high and there were many glass windows , but the walls were made of bamboo. And the pillars were obviously expensive wood. That way, it would be nice to knock on Kei-kwanan's door. I simply peeked in. When no one was in sight, I quickly but noiselessly went down the stairs. And because the door was wide open, I could clearly see the shameless person walking and kicking on the sand. I couldn't pass in front of the house. I took the opportunity and walked straight to the kitchen. There was food waiting for meâ€"charot! I was just going to check if there was a door to get out of the house. I smiled when I saw that a door was open. But before I went there, I opened the refrigerator ï¬rst. Hmpf! All frozen goods. "It's still a double door." I whispered and closed the fridge. I continued my escape plan. I almost jumped for joy when I was able to get out and walk away without the King of the Snakes noticing. I looked back at him several times and he was still doing the same thing. I continued walking until I could no longer see the house and the hut. Unfortunately, because of the heat of the sand, I stopped several times just to put on my shoes, then I took them off because I was carrying sand. It was a good thing it was afternoon because the area was wide with shade. Thanks to the stone mountain that blocked the heat of the sun. I knew I had only been walking for a short while, but because of the heat, I quickly got tired and thirsty. I looked up at the coconut tree. It wasn't very tall but it wasn't low either. There were so many fruits at the top. I was just thirsty! I've climbed trees before. But I've never climbed a coconut tree. Because how can you climb here? There's no branch to hold on to. But because of thirst, I still tried. I put down my bag and shoes. I looked up for a moment before starting to climb. I landed on the wide part of the tree. But I tried to step my foot upâ€"nothing! That's it. I thought for a moment about what a good technique would be. I hugged the tree and tried to crawl up. I laughed as I moved up. But I hadn't gotten far when I felt myself sliding down. "Ayyy.... Waaagg!" I begged the tree. I was really sliding down. I tried to hug it tighter but I was still sliding. Until the tree heard my plea. A hand grabbed my assâ€"oh no! "Beast! WHY ARE YOU HOLDING ME?! DON'T HOLD ME THERE!" I shouted while trying to turn around at the demon. "Do you really want me to let go?" It felt like something was punching my heart. I hugged the tree tighter as I cursed in my mind. " You know, I can do this all day." He said and I could feel the teasing in his tone. Animal! Animal! Animal! "Let me go! You'll be my enemy!" I threatened. "I can't. But you can let go, I'm ready to catch you." Catch you! Catch you! Ulowl! "I don't want to! Get out of there! And get your hand out of my ass!" I heard him laugh softly. I removed one of my hands from the hug and tried to slap his hand on my seat but I immediately put it back because I was slowly falling. "If I let you go, you'll fall on the ground." He said as if you thought he was explaining something bad would happen. "I don't care! Even if I break!" I heard him sigh softly. "Okay, you asked for it." He took his hand off my seat and I almost gasped as I fell completely from my seat. I let go of the hug and fell straight onto the sand. "Ouch! Kingina!" He said, "Catch you!" Idiot! I held my hips as I slowly stood up. I glared at the shameless face that was happy to see me struggling. "You said you'd catch me!" He looked at me with a look of surprise. "You said, you don't want me to." "Yes, of course! But if you really want to help me no matter how many times I refuse, you'll still help!" I shouted at him. "Come on !" His forehead urrowed completely. What I said to him was like a question that had no answer. Think carefully! "Is that a reverse psychology?" He asked. "Wow. Woman and their logic." I didn't understand what he was saying. I just approached my things and as soon as I got my shoes, I immediately threw them at him. "Hey!" He shouted before dodging. And because of his dodging, my shoe went straight into the sea. I screamed loudly. "Why did you dodging?!" "You just throw a shoe at me!" He replied annoyed. I was about to run out of blood from his English. I was even more annoyed with him. The handsome man was already drunkâ€"his face! His face was already drunk! "I hope you caught it!" "Using what? My face?" He replied sarcastically. "The face is drunk? Congratulations if you can do it!" I replied to him. I walked briskly towards the water. It was a good thing my shoe didn't reach far. I slowly moved forward and reached for my shoe. When I faced the animal that was called a Cobra, I felt like throwing the shoe I was holding again. His face was as strong as a dam. "You're a coward, do you know that?" I asked annoyed as I walked closer. He was just about to take my things when he heard me say that. He turned around and seemed offended by what I said. He sighed. I couldn't help but feel embarrassed by what I said. But why would I be embarrassed? He deserves it. He's an idiot! "On a daily basis, how many times do you curse?" He asked seriously. "It depends. When I remember you, 100x a day." I replied with a smile. A smug smile spread across his lips. "I've been gone forâ€"let sayâ€"about 45 days. Obviously, you're thinking of me like everyday for the past 45 days." He explained. It's also thick. I don't think about him every day. Just when, every night. Then I'll cry, then I'll curse at him, then I'll cry again, then I'll ï¬nd him and send him home, then I'll cry again, then I'll get angry and never send him home. That's all the things that happen when I think about him. "Sometimes more than 100. Especially when I remember your silly animal." I laughed annoyed. "I'm probably 1000." "So for the last 45 days, you curse around 450, 000 in total." His lips gradually moved and ended up in a smile as if he was amazed. "Then if I add those curses that I directly heard rom you and Ci-N, Felix and the others reported at me. Estimated, 450, 347." My forehead furrowed. What reported? Why are they reporting my cursing? What's wrong with my cursing? "What's wrong? Why are you counting?" The shameless smile widened. And my forehead furrowed even more . "Pro..." He began and I suddenly remembered the clear and true reason. "...fa..." My eyes widened at him as he simply shook his head. "...ni..." My foot involuntarily stepped back and he stepped forward. "...ty." Ulowl! He was about to come closer when I put on my shoes again. I also pointed a ï¬nger at him while looking at him threateningly. "S-okay! Try it!" "I will deï¬nitely try." He boasted. I backed away again when he was about to come closer. "W-why should I listen to that nonsense of yours? After you fooled me!" I said boldly."Our deal with your curses is a different thing." He replied and walked closer. I immediately threw my shoe at him. I didn't care if it hit or not because I immediately ran away. I didn't care if the sand was hot, I was thirsty and most of all I was tired just to run away from him. How did I end up here? "Get away from me!" I shouted when I felt him following me. "I'm not gonna hurt you!" He shouted which made me even more nervous. I felt like he was close to me and that he could reach me at any moment . I ran even faster even though I didn't really have an exact direction. We had already passed the house I came from earlier. Is there anyone else in this place! "You have no shame! I'll report you to Kuya Angelo! You're a fool!" "450, 348!" He shouted. "Ulowl!" "450, 349!" "Tangina! Stop counting!" "...350!" You're so stupid! I didn't say anything else, lest the number of animals increase even more . My feet were starting to hurt but I couldn't stop. Until I could see where I was going. There was no beach. The rocky mountain was blocking my path. What was even more painful was that the rocky mountain stretched all the way to the water so I had no other way to go. The animal couldn't catch up with me! I had no choice but to turn around and climb the nearest tree I could see. Thanks to the large branches, I reached the top. "Jay! That's dangerous! Get down here!" The pest King of Cobras shouted at me. When I looked at him, he became even more relaxed as he looked up at my place. "It's more dangerous when I get close to you!" I replied. "Comeâ€"!" "Punyeta! Speak Tagalog! My vocabulary is so difficult or you!" He sighed. "Get down." He said calmly. "450, 351." It was starting to get dark. Even if I want to get down, it's better to just stay here. Maybe it's true, David said. I'll sleep here, I'll live here if I have to just to avoid this animal. "I don't want to! I know you'll do it!" "Come on. It's dangerous here. It's getting dark." He spoke softly as if he were talking to a child. "It's dangerous, why did you bring me here?" "That's the purpose of the villa. It's safer there." I held on tightly to the branch of the tree. I didn't want to come down. I'm afraid I'll rot here. Even if I become part of the tree, it's okay. "Your head is broken! Does Kuya Angelo know this?" "Well..." He winced after rubbing the back of his head. "Sort of." Son of... "What sort of? You're crazy!" I shouted at him angrily. "He knows that your helping me. But he doesn't know that your not..." He deliberately didn't let me hear his last words. "What? What? What? Explain!" He looked up and smiled innocently. "That's your not coming home tonight." Tanginames. I was so angry at what he said, I cut a branch near me and threw it at him. That's why the shameless one dodged. "You're such an idiot! Animal!" I shouted and for no reason I just cried because I was so angry. "Waaahhhh!! You're really Tangina!" "Oh no! Stop crying baby! You look like a chimpanzee on that tree!" He said while laughing. The tanantado even insulted me! "I'll report you to Kuya and Aries! You're really a piece of shit!" I shouted while still crying. I kept wiping my face while bawling like a child. I think I can release all my anger towards this animal through crying. The remaining light is starting to fade. My blood is almost exhausted because I've been bitten by mosquitoes for a while. And because I was busy with the screaming, I didn't realize that the demon had already climbed a tree . "You're a fool!" I shouted at him when I saw him next to me. "Come down. We'll talk about this." He said calmly. "I just want us to talk properly. After this, I'll bring you back to Angelo. There's nothing missing, but maybe there's too much." Oh, really, he's a fool! I immediately slapped him, making him laugh. I didn't know if he was serious or just being ridiculous again. If I pushed him too hard, would he fall? Then his head would be blown off. That's why I might not be able to get home even more. "I don't want to! You animal! And that propanite of yours!" I cried out. He laughed weakly. He could only slap his arm and leg because of the mosquito bites. "Let's go. I'll cook you some more." Hey, food. My stomach churned involuntarily as if he was the one who answered what this little guy said. I simply held my stomach. You're my intestines! But you're my ass! "I-I don't want it! I know you'll do it when I get down here!" I accused him and he sighed deeply. It was as if he was tired of convincing me to get down. I knew he was having a hard time in his place too. Add to that the fact that there were so many people biting us. "Okay, let's make a deal." He said and slightly leaned towards me. "I will mentally erase the estimated count of your profanities. It's back to zero." He said and my face seemed to light up. He looked at me as if he was waiting for my approval. "W-what else?" That's not possible. I had so much trouble waking up in this sea. He thought for a moment and raised a ï¬nger. "I will let you curse at me while we're here in this island, and that wouldn't count." Nice. Nice. Freedom to curse this fucking turd. And no profanity rules. I'll make the most of him taking me to the islandâ€"wait! What island? "Please repeat! Where are we?" I asked in surprise. "Island." He answered casually. "You really are an animal!" I shouted and started to cry again. That's why it seems like there is no other house and no other people. Because I'm not in the usual sea. We're on an island, this time. If it happens, I'll spend the night looking for a house but I won't ï¬nd anyone. I might tear up and dry my eyes here and there, I still don't see anyone else. You're a bitch! You're a bitch! I immediately hit him and he immediately hit me back. "I'll deï¬nitely report you to Kuya! I'll beat you!" "You can beat me. As long as it's on the soft bed." He said and smiled foolishly. I stopped hitting him and pointed at his face. "Shut up! Don't make the mistake of making a fool of me!" "Can we talk about this later?" He asked irritatedly before looking at his watch. "Come on." "I'll only get off when I'm sure you won't do anything to me!" I assured him. He nodded. "Okay, as part of the deal. I won't do anything against your will. Unless of course if you ask for it." Then he winked. I slapped him again and he laughed again. "You're dreaming!" "I am Jay. I am." He said and smiled innocently. "All good? Let's go back to Villa." He was about to get off when I stopped him. He looked at me in surprise. It was embarrassing to admit. "I-I don't know how to get off." I admitted and he laughed out loud. "My legs are numb too." He shook his head before moving to the branch I was sitting on. It was good that he was strong because they might pick us up at the bottom. He turned his back on me. "Get on. So we can go back." He said. Even though he was hesitant, I did it anyway. He had a hard time at ï¬rst so I hugged him tightly. Especially when he started to go down. Esushme, I might just all. "Are you okay in there?" He asked. "Don't ask anymore!" I replied annoyed. He laughed softly while shaking his head. When we got down, I thought he was going to let me down too but he wrapped one arm around one of my windows. While he used his other hand to pick up my belongings. "My shoes." I reminded him. "There's no substitute for that." "Tss... I'll buy you hundreds of pairs if you want. I can even buy the whole Marikina for you." He was bragging. I shot him. "You're so bragging." "I'm saying it because I can do it." I didn't argue anymore. As he walked, I kept whining. I didn't want to get rid of my cold and since it was his clothes in front of me, I used that to wipe it. "What the..." He whispered while trying to turn around. "You complain. I'll see you there." I threatened and he didn't answer anymore. I was tired and hungry. I had run out of energy to drown this animal in the water. Also with extreme fatigue, my chin naturally leaned on his shoulder. I even noticed a smile on his lips. Esushme, just tired.
