Return of Time

-Episode 5-

"ESPERANZA!" CLARA shouted to her, alarmed with eyes totally open.

Esperanza looked behind her, with beaded perspiration all around her face. Her hands were stained with blood. Some were smear on her brow.

Her hands were shuddering, in dread.

Clara inquired, "A-anong nangyari sa-sa iyo?" (W-what befell y-you?)

Clara examined Esperanza, who was perched on the wooden floor with the wicked wreck. Her eyes went behind Esperanza.

Behind Esperanza was a young fellow who was perched on the floor. His hand grasped his injured passed on arm to stop the dying.

"Ate Clara.... a-anong ga-gawin ko? A-ayaw tumigil sa pagdugurugo ang ka-kanyang braso," Esperanza asked in dread. (Clara... W-how would it be a good idea for me to respond? His a-arm wou-would not quit dying)

"Esperanza," Clara drew towards them, "S-sino siya? Ba-bakit su-sugatan siya?" (Who right? For what reason would he say he is injured?)

The youngster, who has a dull coloring, was pale subsequent to losing an excess of blood. His vision became hazy and quickly lost his cognizance again on the floor.

"Gracious my gosh!" Esperanza proclaimed.

"Gracious my - - ano?" asked Esperanza, confused. (Gracious my - - what?)

Esperanza asked as she attempted to awaken the young fellow, "Anong gagawin natin ate?" (What would it be advisable for us to do Clara?)

"Esperanza!" Clara got down on which shook Esperanza.

At the point when Esperanza looked behind her, Clara was done remaining close to her yet was remaining on the steps, with eyes totally open.

Clara inquired, "A-anong nangyari sa-sa iyo?" Clara inquired. (W-what befell y-you?)

Esperanza halted.

She heard a snort behind her and saw the youthful was sitting straight, cognizant.

"Esperanza," Clara drew towards them, "S-sino siya? Ba-bakit su-sugatan siya?" (Who right? For what reason would he say he is injured?)

The young fellow lost his cognizance again on the floor. Esperanza took a gander at the person.

"Esperanza!" Clara called out.

Esperanza took a gander at Clara, who's remaining on the steps. She likewise saw the young fellow sitting up, cognizant.

"Esperanza," Clara drew towards them, "S-sino siya? Ba-bakit su-sugatan siya?" (Who right? For what reason would he say he is injured?)

'What' s continuing. '

The youngster tumbled down on the floor. Clara strolled back towards the steps and there, began to get down on Esperanza' s name. The youngster sat upright, grasping his injured arm in torment.

Clara asked once more, "A-anong nangyari sa-sa iyo?" (W-what befell y-you?)

The scene continued rehashing and rehashing.

The young fellow would tumble down on the floor, unknowingly. Then, at that point, seconds after, he would sit up in agony and afterward tumble down once more. In the mean time, Clara would stroll back towards the steps, called out Esperanza with dismay, drew towards her and posed inquiries and afterward strolled in reverse.

Neither one nor the other saw the weird occurring aside from Esperanza.

Time rehashes fundamentally again and again.

"What's happening?" Esperanza murmured in bewilderment.

Crash. Crash. Crash.

The young fellow froze mostly tumbling to the ground.

Crash. Crash. Crash.

Clara froze too on where she was standing.

Everything at that time froze with the exception of Esperanza. She glanced around, not knowing what's going on any longer.

Crash. Crash. Crash.

Esperanza looked sideways and saw a man strolling towards her while hitting his wooden staff on the floor.

'How could he come inside the house? I locked the entryway, I' m sure of that. So how? ' Esperanza asked herself.

The man was wearing a Barong Tagalog. He appeared as though he was on his 20's.

"How impolite. Are you going to gaze at me or you'll welcome me inside your home?" the man inquired.

'He is now inside the house,' Esperanza thought. 'Stand by - - - did he simply talk in English?'

Esperanza checked out him with a gapping mouth.

"Truly? Human, assemble your mind and don't simply open your mouth there," he said.

Esperanza asked enthusiastically, "Wh-who right? You are not talking in Tagalog. You are not from this period, right?"

"Don't you remembered me?" he inquired

Esperanza glared, recalling that she never had met this man.

The man murmured and hit his staff on the floor threefold. The staff transformed into a wooden stick. The man, then, at that point, transformed into an elderly person. The elderly person smiled as he saw the acknowledgment on Esperanza's eyes.

"You - - you are that elderly person that I was searching for. You were the one who said I'm trapped in this period. You are him," she said.

"Indeed, I am him," he said.

"How could you do that? How could you change yourself? What sort of witchcraft would you say you are utilizing? You are youthful simply a seconds prior and presently you are old. How did this occur? Who- - who right?"

"Individuals have known me from many names. In the west, explicitly Greece, they called me Cronus, the ruler of Titans. In Rome, they called me Saturn. Everybody knows me from various names. In any case, those are not me. They just mixed up me as Cronus and Saturn since we have a similar power. In any case, I am known in the Visayas, individuals there adored me and named me. I'm Bangun, God of time and vast developments," he said as he spread his arms on the air. Up ahead, the wooden roof was no longer there except for up there was the night sky with bunches of star grouping. "I can stop time, move it quick forward or in reverse. I can control the time."

'A divine being?' asked Esperanza to herself. 'What on earth?'

"I've never heard that there is such god as you - - I mean I never heard your name," Esperanza said.

Bangun checked out her briskly, "Why I'm not astonished. Filipinos in your period don't perceive nearby divinities. You generally love different divine beings, unfamiliar divine beings like Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Ra, Horus, Odin, and so forth While in your own country, you don't have any acquaintance with us or even want to know us."

Esperanza peered down, embarrassed. Bangun took a gander at her in disturbance.

"What a god.... as you doing here... inside this house?" she inquired.

"To visit you," Bangun said.

"Stand by - - to visit me? What's more, hang tight - - for a divine resembling

you, will be you expected to wear that? On the off chance that I imagined a divine being, he ought to be wearing a long white robe, the preferences." Esperanza saw his outfit, he was wearing after every one of the a Barong Tagalog. "This is truly wrecked my head. I don't get everything," Esperanza said.

"Most importantly, I'm a divine being so I can wear whatever I like. Nobody can direct me what to wear. What's more, this is the style here. Second, I need your senseless mouth to quiet down and quit chattering hogwash."

'Indeed, him being here is hogwash,' Esperanza contemplated internally.

"As I said, I am here to visit you."

"First and foremost, Bangun, you said you're a Visayan god. Why is a Visayan god here in Luzon? What's more, what are you doing in this time? " Esperanza inquired.

"Moronic young lady. I'm a divine being, I can do anything I desire. I can travel any place I need. I'm the lord of Time, I can go whatever year I need. Are you not thinking carefully?" he reprimanded her.

'What's with his issue?' Esperanza pondered internally.

"Then, at that point - - - why you are here.... visiting me?"

"Since you've been altering the time, misshaping the timetable due to your imprudence," Bangun commented.

"I - - what?"

"You've been time traveling continually and changing history again and again. You've been utilizing my watch recklessly," Bangun said.

"Evolving history?" Esperanza inquired. She took a gander at the wristwatch on her wrist.

"Like this young fellow here," Bangun peered down on the young fellow behind Esperanza. The young fellow was frozen most of the way towards the ground. "He should be dead yet you help him out. Along these lines, changing his set of experiences, his future."

"I was helping him out. He was in torment, injured. Obviously, I should help him. It's not off-base to help others," she spat.

"To be sure. It's not off-base to help others. However, this is an alternate time and you don't have a place here. It's not your concern to help others here. You shouldn't change others' future. Like Clara and particularly this youngster here."

He proceeded, "You've changed his future radically and surprisingly made his life hopeless."

"What are you discussing?" she inquired.

"Before long... you'll know what I'm saying. Before long.. you'll understand everything and wish you never did it in any case."
