Mortal World, Haro Plaza
"What a mess! Not again?" Abraham is angry after seeing himself waking up from disgusting urine, and feces thrown at him while he took an afternoon nap. Isaac and Joseph were not around that time, and he was left taking the chance to at least take a rest.
Surprisingly, the children who hated his ugly face, bothered him again. He thought that he won't be pranked or bullied by those kinds of children because he was far from La Paz park, where he used to sleep. Now, he woke up from the smell of urine and sticky feces spread all over his face.
"Such a fugly human being," one of the bullies hisses him whose eyes were as big as an apple and whose body as large as the butt of the casserole. Abraham tried to hide his laughter.
"What are you laughing, fugly? Is there something wrong with my friend here?" and his eyes turned to the slender, and tall kid whose body can be blown right away even with a small ghastly wind. He must be the leader of the gang he recently encountered.
"Why don't we teach him a lesson?" another piglet body showed up and saw his belly as big as the pail he used to carry back and forth to fetch water for Isaac and Joseph's baths.
"He was laughing at us. I see him glaring at me. Look!" The last kid pointing his hands on him hid himself behind the one that has butt of the casserole.
"Hold his hand I'll urinate him again!" The leader of the bully boss around, and they were about hold his hand when Abraham wink and stops them from doing the next move.
He was laughing hard when he check their faces one by one. Before doing something hilarious, Abraham made sure that no one is looking around, or none of the passersby went in the gazebo where he was sleeping earlier and woke up because of the urine and feces thrown at his face. Then, he began grabbing the sticky feces on the floor and wiped it around their faces. He even opened their tongues to taste the bittersweet of their wrongdoings. Lastly, without someone looking at him since he stops the time, he opened the zipper of his pants and started urinating their faces.
After releasing the last tingling sensation from his thing, he winked back and made himself invisible from them. He can only chuckle as he saw them vomiting, running away from the gazebo, wiping the feces in their faces, and puke several times. They were even slip and stumbled from the stairs of the gazebo. Finally, they all left and Abraham showed himself and in a snap of his finger, the feces, and the urine on the floor were removed. The same goes with his face and clothes. He just took a bath in a snap of his finger.
"We saw that, brother Abraham? What were you doing?" Isaac began nagging him again.
"Yeah. We saw them crying and found them puking several times. It smelled like poop and urine. Did you do those things with them?" Joseph mimics the way little big man Isaac's voice asked him a question.
"Are you imitating my voice, Joseph?" Isaac turned his stare on Joseph while the latter was staring at Abraham asking for help.
"He's not, Isaac. Your voice is different from her accent. He finds it cute when you nag at me," Abraham saw his head circled towards her, and he grinned. "All right. I'll tell you what happened. Sit down both of you here on my sides."
And Abraham started telling them what happened. From the time he slept, waking up from the smell of feces and urine down to doing hilarious things to the bullies, all of them giggled.
"They all deserved that, brother Abraham. But, it's still wrong to punish them like that. If I am not mistaken, they'll soon get back at you."
"There he goes the dean again," Abraham just rolled his eyes and whispered those words in his mind while he continued listening to the words of a father figure twelve years old Isaac.
"But it was only a small punishment, Isaac. You even laughed at his story," Joseph defended him and Abraham nodded while looking at them both.
"I know, but it's still not right to punish them like that. We never know if those kids were the sons of a prominent person, or cop. We can't tell."
Joseph and Abraham heaved a sigh. They can't win over the little lawyer on their side. To lighten Isaac's mood, he put his hands on his back and poured some little tricks. Then, he showed it to them.
"Wow! Adobo and chicken from our favorite Carenderia?" Isaac's eyes beamed so wide that he immediately grab his favorite chicken. He gave the other one to Joseph whose eyes were surprised to see how it appeared suddenly on Abraham's hands.
"And our favorite drinks?" he slowly showed them the drinks they always loved to drink.
"Mountain dew!" all said in chorus.
It was the only thing Abraham knows to stop Isaac from scolding him again. He has a point. He doesn't really want to avenge himself from those bullies. Not only that, but he was only teaching them a lesson, so they could stop. But he forgot the bigger picture where Isaac pointed out.
"I know, but it's still not right to punish them like that. We never know if those kids were the sons of a prominent person, or cop. We can't tell."
And that made him feel inferior from Isaac. But, at the back of his mind, he knew that he can trust him. He knew that Isaac will always be there for him. As for Joseph, he doesn't know what his thoughts are. Even though he has the power as well to read mind, he can't get in through Joseph's thought even after the time he adopted him as his newfound little brother.
"Why aren't you eating, brother Abraham? Stop thinking too much. Join us, or I'll finish all of these."
"Don't you dare!"
Lathe laughterilled the entire gazebo and the three of them couldn't be happier when they were together. It was always the case. Smiling and laughing out loud releases their worries living together without parents by their side. It was their moment, their bonding time, and their only way to set their mind at ease from the world they had lived in.
