The Stranger (English version On-Going)

The Stranger: 4

Gulf POV

Its been 3 days since I found this guy and I don’t know  if he will be awake.We even wanted him to bring to the hospital but we don’t have enough money if he will be confined.
Tatang only earns just for our daily necessity. It’s even enough for our daily needs. He is just selling some rice cake. Our life here in Barrio Makapili is simple.

That day when I bring this guy to our house I decide not to help tatang for a while because one’s gonna take care of him.

I am busy hanging our clothes when Tatang Robin arrived. I run towards him and grab  his whinnowing basket where he puts all his rice cake.
Base on what ive saw its empty already, I think he already sold it out!

“Is all the rice cake sold already Tatang?” I ask him while we where entering the house.
“ Yup! There is someone who buy it all.” He is happy while he is saying it.

Everytime he is going out to sell it he always go home  around 12, But this time its only 11:30 and he’s early.

I directly go to the kitchen,get some plates and a glass. I put it all on the table together with the rice and the dish!

“Lets eat Tatang.”

He immediately go to the table and pull a chair.

“I’snt he awake yet?” He mean the guy in my room.

I just shake my head to answer. We don’t know when will he is going to be awake.

We are not eating that much when we hear a loud scream coming from my room.

“Ahhhhhh!” I heared a scream to my room.

We run to my room and we saw the guy holding his head. We approach him. He is hurting and even sweating a lot.

“Iho?” Tatang worriedly asked him.

“It hurts! Aahhh!” He groaned.

“Tatang what we are gonna do?” I'm panicking because I'm not use seeing other people hurt.

“Give me some medicine, at the cabinet faster!”

I run and grab any of the medicine inside the cabinet. I am already on a panick.

He grab the table and force to give it to him because he is groaning so much in pain.

After a minute he is already calm even his breathing is stable.

I gasp when he pin his eyes and directly looking at me. His eyes have the power to attract and if you will look back, you feel like he penetrates towards your soul. There is something with this guy but I don’t know what it is.

“ Who are you? Where am I? Who am I? He ask for confusion.
Me and Tatang just look at each other.

Wait what? He didn’t know who he is? He doesn't even remember his name. Oh boy!

“You’re here at our house son! You don't remember anything?" Tatang asked.

He pause for a while.

He shake his head. “I dont remember anything.”

“ How about your name? Do you remember it? Where do you live?” Tatang ask again.

I just stand still beside my bed, observing him. He shake his head again.

Amnesia? All I know if someone don't remember anything it is called "amnesia".

Tatang let out a deep sigh.

“I think its because of the wound on your forehead, that’s why you don’t remember anything . You should stay here for a while until you get back your memory.”
