Episode 34 : A Soft Side

It is now the next day and at the other areas of the Sidapa forest, Lakas and Lakan were there hanging out near a lake for almost 2 days already.......

Lakan: (dips and washes himself on the water)
Lakas: (sadly washes Lakan taking a bath)
Lakan: (looks confused at Lakas) Lakas..... do not stare that sorrowful face at me then refuse to take a bath.... jump right in!
Lakas: (shakes his head) (feels annoyed) but I can't.... my whole body and the wounds are still fresh.... it will hurt a lot!
Lakan: and who did this to you again? I remember the time you invited me to wander away with you and I was worried and you never gave me any context.... and guess what.... I am still concerned.... nobody should do this to you!
Lakas: (shakes his head) whatever it is...... I don't wanna speak on this.......
Lakan: is it your father? your man???
Lakas: (shouts) it is not them... I told you that I do not wanna speak up on it.......
Lakan: (feels sad) (keeps pouring water on his body) fine......
Lakas: (tears falls on his face) but I think.... I think I deserve this a bit..... but my mind is still not sure! why am I like this???
Lakan: (feels worried) (sits next to Lakas) hey.... do not cry, I rarely see you bleed and cry.......
Lakas: (wipes his tears) I am sorry Lakan.....
Lakan: whatever you are feeling in you.... if you do not want to say something about it.... I still respect you....
Lakas: (looks sadly at Lakan) ugh Lakan??? how is Lakam as a brother????
Lakan: (feels sad) annoying..... he is too curious and too energetic for me and I have to admit that I hate him a lot for being an opposite of me.....
Lakas: (listens to Lakan)
Lakan: but also... guess what......  (looks at Lakas) I have the responsibility to love him because I really do have to love him..... (smiles down) he is my brother and two of us are the only ones left so..... we may have hates for each other but we would not make our world full of that because.... who else would help each other here..... us right????
Lakas: (nods)
Lakan: and I am still thankful but cannot express it.... thankful to Bulan cause despite how I hate your brother for how he's our opposite and how I will always be loyal with you.... Bulan is not bad at all and I am still happy to see Lakam happy with him.... we just can't hang out together because of our differences, we may hate each other for that but the keyword is brothers....... a gift that the Gods gave to our parents and for ourselves.... and actually, despite how I hate him.. I will fight for him......
Lakas: (feels emotionally touched) (cries hardly)
Lakan: (looks concerned at Lakas) you okay??? did I make it worse???
Lakas: (keeps crying) I wonder what it feels like to have a brother to clean your wounds when you need to...... why am I just feeling this right now???
Lakan: (strokes Lakas' hair) and Lakas..... Bulan may not be your real brother but..... he is the one there..... the closest one.....
Lakas: (nods sadly)

Back at the Batumbakal tribe, the whole royal family were silent about everything that happened..... at the main hall, Thales and Briseo were there together....

Briseo: (sits sadly on his throne)
Thales: (feels sad) I am sorry Briseo but I asked your guards about your sons..... they haven't found anything yet.....
Briseo: (shakes his head) this is no use.... both of them wandered away..... and even Liksi is not here, he may follow Bulan.... what will happen here????
Thales: you are still the king so you do not have to worry... and they are still your sons so they will eventually return because.... this is still their endgame......
*Amaya, Ajas and Sahaya approaches Thales and Briseo*
Ajas: I agree to that..... just like what will happen to me soon.... I am here to marry your son and after that, we will return to our tribe to build the future.....
Amaya: but where is your man now??? no offense.....
Briseo: (looks sadly at Ajas) yeah Ajas..... not to scare you but what if he doesn't return.....
Ajas: (stares seriously at Briseo) then an engagement is destroyed.... you know what happens when things like that happen?
Sahaya: (looks nervous at Ajas) a broken friendship????
Ajas: (shrugs) (stares at Briseo) I don't know... do you all know????
Briseo: (looks confused at Ajas)
Ajas: but all I know is that.... I cannot be scared about that your majesty..... (evilly stares at Briseo)

It is now almost noontime and at Bulan, Kidlat and Ulan's area, the 3 are now about to leave the place........

Kidlat: (wears his bag) so..... we are now heading to some places again, both places we haven't been and have been in and if you are new to this travelling.... you found yourself a great tour guide... (elbows Ulan) and a great chief......
Ulan: oh Kidlat... shut up! (rolls his eyes)
Bulan: thanks for really having me.... I think it would really be great......
Ulan: but Bulan... are you sure nobody is worried to have you?????
Bulan: (feels sad) there will be people finding me but..... (shakes his head) what matter is me leaving......
Sidapa: (walks seriously behind Bulan) I wasn't just finding you Bulan.... I was concerned and missing you????
*Bulan, Kidlat and Ulan notices Sidapa*
Bulan: (eyes widens at Sidapa) Sid????
*Liksi and Lakam approaches Sidapa*
Liksi: surprise????
Bulan: (smiles) Liksi? Lakam????
Ulan: (looks confused at Kidlat) who are they?
Kidlat: (shrugs)
Sidapa: (walks closer to Bulan) glad that I found you!!
Bulan: (nods shyly) yeah... and we are leaving.... (walks away from Sidapa) I think we should go Ulan and Kidlat.....
*Lakam and Liksi looks sadly at Sidapa*
*Kidlat and Ulan looks confused at each other*
Bulan: (about to leave) Lakam... Liksi.... if you guys are busy in the tribe.. then it is a wrong choice to find me... bring them back Sid.......
Sidapa: I am not gonna leave you alone again!
Hala: (appears in front of Bulan)
*everyone looks surprised at Hala*
Ulan: (drops his stuffs) what type of magic is that??! (stares at Hala)
Kidlat: (feels confused at Hala) did he just magically appear????
Hala: (eats and apple) (looks at Bulan and Sidapa) still love quarrel huh??? (smiles charmingly)
