Libulan

Episode 118 : Like It's The Last Day

It is now the next day and at the Batumbakal Tribe, Lakas was once again at one of the entrance that has a portal attached to the tree observing and feels upset after yesterday's coronation where Bulan didn't show up......

Lakas: (seriously stares at the portal attached to a tree) (in his mind) what is all these for Bulan?? I know what happened yesterday was dangerous and it must have been the reason why you didn't have time to show up but the danger itself is a big reason if I am worthy or not to rule and protect this tribe because...... (feels emotional) I do not know what I can do.... (looks at the view of the village from a distance behind him) with all these people either driven by anger or driven by fear.... what can I do for them???? what should a king be??? all this time... what should a Libulan be??? if I cannot be dominant.... nor too soft because both just leads onto something bad..... how will everything be now??? (looks back and touches the portal) because.... I am scared Bulan.... (tears fall onto his face) (feels nothing at the other side of the portal as his fingers refuses to pass through) (feels hopeless)
*Lakam, Ulan and Kidlat sadly and secretly watches Lakas from behind the tall bushes*
Lakam: (sadly looks down and whispers) he really wanted Bulan to be there but they really did not come.... and I cannot blame either......
Ulan: (feels concerned and looks at Kidlat) (whispers) do you think we should approach him and comfort him??? I do not want to see our brother like this.... and yeah... besides... we are still his brothers.....
Kidlat: (nods sadly listening to Ulan while watching Lakas looking emotional in front of the portal) yeah... (whispers) we are.... but we should understand why Bulan is what he needs... but too guilty to not do anything about it at all......
Lakas: (cries softly) (murmurs) (looks around) I think I shouldn't bug you anymore Bulan.... besides... I understand what all of these are for you.... and as much as I am scared.... let me go back to the beginning and say that I wanted this at the first place..... because.... (feels guilty) that has always been the truth anyway......
*Lakam, Ulan and Kidlat suddenly covers themselves inside the tall bushes as Lakas looks around*
Lakas: (looks confused and notices somebody hiding at the tall bushes near him) ugh.... hello??? (carefully looks and notices Lakam hiding behind the tall bushes) Lakam? we both know that I can see you.....
Lakam: (feels awkward at Lakas noticing him hiding behind the tall bushes) ugh.... (walks out of the tall bushes and guiltily approaches Lakas) I am.... ugh.....
*Ulan and Kidlat walks out of the tall bushes and follows Lakam approaching Lakas*
*Lakas and Lakam notices Ulan and Kidlat approaching them from the tall bushes*
Lakam: (keeps feeling guilty and looks down) we are sorry if we are like stalking you......
Kidlat: yeah..... (feels guilty and awkward and Lakas) we are just.... still concerned and just want to be there where you are Lakas.....
Lakas: (guiltily listens to everyone) (looks back at the portal) well.... I am fine..... I will be fine.... at this point..... (awkwardly and emotionally smiles down) I cannot you guys from being worried or concerned but... all I can say is... I will be fine....
Ulan: yeah and besides.... (sadly looks at Lakas) always remember that.....
Lakas: yeah.... (approaches and puts his arms at Kidlat and Ulan's back) besides..... I have my brothers here.... that is why I will be fine... I will be fine at all.... (struggles to reassure himself)
Kidlat: (hugs Lakas putting his arm on his back) and Bulan..... even if he is not here.... he is always looking out...
Ulan: yeah... (smiles at Lakas putting his arm on his back) he i a god anyway..... and you will be a great king......
Lakam: (proudly looks at the brothers hugging each other) Ulan is right.... (smiles at Lakas) you will be great Lakas.... this may not work for you but we will say anyways that we believe in you......
Lakas: (blushes and smiles at everyone) (keeps feeling emotional) thank you guys so much... just... thank you all!!

While Lakas, Ulan, Kidlat and Lakam proceeds to their day after a personal talk, at the tree house home of Bulan, Sidapa and Daplan, Bulan was there in his and Sidapa's bedroom still sleeping while Sidapa is also in the room preparing everything for the wedding later....

Bulan: (keeps sleeping on his bed peacefully)
Sidapa: (prepares and puts Bulan's folded wedding outfit on an empty chair) (looks and notices Bulan still sleeping) (in his mind) anytime Bulan... even if you wake up in the afternoon... anytime... I would marry you.... (approaches and looks at his wedding outfit at a mirror)
Bulan: (suddenly yawns and slowly wakes up opening his eyes) ugh.... huh?? (feels Sidapa not on his side) good.... (sits up and widens his eyes at Sidapa fixing his wedding outfit at the mirror) hello and...... already prepared for the wedding?
Sidapa: (notices Bulan awake from the mirror) oh yeah..... and I am glad you are awake... but anyways... take your time though...... we are not in a rush..... I will just be here... (keeps looking at his wedding outfit in a mirror) testing my outfit.....
Bulan: (feels slightly concerned) testing and checking your outfit?? isn't that bad luck at weddings???
Sidapa: (suddenly feels guilty and slightly nervous at Bulan) ugh.... (feels concerned) I understand and yeah... this might have been a bad idea but... any hold backs or objections?
Bulan: (notices Sidapa looking concerned at him) (shakes his head) no hold backs to who I am gonna marry but... besides the belief of bad luck you are doing by wearing that wedding outfit.... after what happened yesterday... would it be fine???? wouldn't we push out wedding in another day....
Sidapa: (nods and sadly approaches Bulan) (sits next to Bulan on the bed) but I am worried that the other comings days are when the bad things... (feels guilty) will happen.. I mean.... everything is turning worse and worse so.... I just have no choice but to ride along with it now..... but I understand if you want to.....
Bulan: (feels guilty listening and cuts off Sidapa) no Sidapa..... (holds Sidapa's hand) I am just worried but yeah... we all are.... and if there's danger around... we should always treat it as if it is the last day so yeah... I get where you are coming from so.... (hugs Lakas tightly) I will kiss and hug you all day today as if this is the last time.... as if everyday will be the last time..... (feels emotional) I just hope Daplan is here......
Daplan: (suddenly appears invisibly and proudly watches Bulan emotionally hugging Sidapa on the bed) 
Sidapa: (feels Daplan around) I feel like he is here... he is always here Bulan... like you... like me.... like us gods... we might not be perfect but one thing we are good at and it is to always be around... even in times that it doesn't feel like it..... (hugs Bulan tightly hugging him
Bulan: (smiles widely at Sidapa) so will you marry me???
Sidapa: (kisses Bulan's lips) we will save that for later!
Bulan: (nods and kisses Sidapa's lips) wedding at the end of the world....
Daplan: (approaches and crawls on the bed invisibly hugging Bulan and Sidapa) (in his mind) I love my reckless fathers so much... do not worry fathers.... I will be there.....

While everyone is preparing for the wedding, Sahaya all these past few days has been her travelling and visiting the ruins of the Palayan Tribe once again... at the area of the destroyed tribe where Lakas buried Briseo, Amaya and Thales......

Sahaya: (confusedly and curiously approaches an area with 3 covered burial grounds) huh? (notices and reads closely the 3 wooden signs under the 3 burial grounds) (eyes widens noticing Amaya, Thales and Briseo's name on the 3 wooden signs) who brought these bodies into this place and.... (angrily looks at the sign with Briseo's name on it labeling one of the burial grounds) and who had the audacity to bring this king into out lands..... (angrily kicks away a sign with Briseo's name on it) (shakes her head angrily) this is all their family's fault so nobody has the right to bring those people here....
Dullahan: (suddenly appears and evilly smiling staring at Sahaya looking angry at seeing Briseo's burial ground)
Sahaya: (angrily murmurs) especially that sooner later... I am going to be the one burying and bringing the dead bodies of every people into any place I will bring them into and at that moment.... we will finally see who is the most powerful out of them all..... (kneels down and touches Amaya and Thales' burial grounds) they shouldn't have done these to you two because they will finally see what I turned into after losing everything..... (stand up and looks at the ruins of the Palayan Tribe) because losing it all is just an opportunity and gives space for me to have everything back to me eventually... not to get everything back that was mine but to take over and to rule around this world where not even the gods can stand even a chance.... (feels Dullahan behind her) they shouldn't have angered somebody like me because all this world needs is hate to be destroyed..... and I finally have that in the palm of my hands... in my blood... in my mind and in my very own soul!!!!! (eyes angrily and suddenly turns to black)
*dark particles suddenly starts surrounding Sahaya*
Sahaya: (demonically speaks) all I can only do is revenge but it will be worth the while.....
Dullahan: (proudly watches Sahaya getting taken over by her anger and darkness) are you ready?
Sahaya: (hears and confidently speaks to Dullahan) oh I am..... hahahahahahha!! (evilly laughs)
