Chapter 6 (First Day of Forgetting)
"Marjun Ortega" POVS ,,
I go to Tawi-Tawi to take a break for life. When I used to be an airport, the small town in Tawi Tawi immediately exposed me. I didn't think you were this ugly town but it was too late because I was here and I was going to go for the life I wanted.
The town is quiet that people are lacking, unlike the ciudad people are trying to get it.
I immediately looked for a car to find something to continue.
When I got to the tricycle I immediately stopped here and the man did not think two thoughts and I immediately said. Man in the nearby boarding house. The driver was amazed and wrinkled and he was looking at me.
Ahhh eh. ,, aren't you here?
Ahh I'm a new one here and I don't know this place.
Ehhh eho why are you here and where are you? The driver asked me a question.
I am a zamboanga pensula man I just want a new town so here I am brought by my fate. I replied to the man with a small smile on my lips.
Manong asked my answers.
That I will bring you to town so you can find shelter. Manong said with a surprise in his hitshora. CEGE MANONG PONG Thanks.
When we were in Biahi I remembered the tragedies of my family's greed. I never thought that my own family would do this to me, it was hard to imagine but had to be accepted. Hay! I sighed in my thoughts.
Manong's forehead was wrinkled as I looked at him. Wondering to my sight. Ahhh eho ok are you okay? , Manong asked me. It's been a while since Manong called me eh, in my mind. There are so many people to ha. I couldn't do anything because I was here before.
I'm fine man, I answer her with my little smile. The man could do nothing but smile back to me and he was looking at me on the road he was sitting on.
In our case I noticed a small town and a small house that was small and unlike the city full of stablishments.
It was at this time that many came to my mind about the magicians of my future. And what to do and not to do here in Tawi-Tawi to live a normal life to avoid the mess. Plans I have never known will be fulfilled because they are uncertain. Marjun's minds were in his mind while he was in Biahi.
The Tawi-Tawi area is uncertain for Marjun. But he was ready for what his life was. The place where he brought his feet to form a new history of his life. But somehow, Marjun thinks already about what happens in the present due to his personal experiences done by his family. The family who can help him going straight by his life but the family that he thought was defferent with the family who live happy family.
Marjun wants only a happy family but his family has removed it and treated him. So he thought of staying away from his loving family. To avoid the mess because I might have done something bad to them. No matter how Marjun still treats them as a family.
When he returned to his trance, he noticed that someone was watching him. When he turned to the driver, he had a sweet smile that smiled at him. It was only when he saw that he was watching the driver of the tricycle.
Ah eho is that far away from your mind? Do you think that you are so bad that you are here in Tawi-Tawi? Manong driver asked me a question. But I just smiled at him to keep my silence. I also don't want to talk to anyone because I am a stranger to my new town where I have ended.
I did not answer our next question. To honestly, I feel some comfortable with Manong. Even though we don't know each other. Maon try to reach me just to show how Tawi-Tawian hospitality they are.
Are we still far from town? I asked the man to stop his questions from me. Maybe he can still hate the hate I feel. Somehow there was a little bit of my body because it seemed to be close to the man even though we knew it. This is how the elders are.
Ahh eho don't worry we're close. We are so cold that we are in town. Jeans answer my question. As I looked ahead I realized if I had some small buildings. I wonder why the buildings are not in the business sector? I asked myself.
Mhhh I will also know when I stay here in town. I can also learn to live here alone in the game that doesn't make me laugh because no one knows me here. Here is the new beginning of life. I think in my mind. Suddenly the driver replied, we are here in town. Jan comes inside there are some rented questions ask questions when I have more rooms.
Thank you for answering him. With a small smile on my lips. Then I gave him a fee and got out of the tricycle I was riding in.
You will be careful. Manong added and nodded to me and still touched his tricycle.
I walked towards the man's pointing and asked where the house was up and taught me the boarding house. I thank you again for not having a hard time finding my shelter.
The Kuentang here is just a thought and the staff, places and events are not compared to real life.
