(For all my fellow mumus out there 👻)
A story wherein Ken, a college history professor was looking through the library for a book that was involved in his lesson. But while doing so, he accidentally came across an extraordinary book.
Unbeknownst...
-KEN'S POV- I woke up with a heavy feeling, it felt like one of my worst sleep in years. I immediately felt the cold air from the air conditioning, kinapa kapa ko pa sarili ko, briefly making sure that this isn't another strange dream. I quickly flipped around and saw the book right beside me, I jolted up and grabbed the it.
As I grabbed the book, an envelope slipped out. It landed on the floor with a thud, meaning that it had something heavy inside.
I cautiously picked it up and proceeded to open it, I found a strange pocket watch inside. It was rusty and old, antique almost.
I looked at it more closely, it looked like a regular pocket watch. But these are rare to find, pocket watches are already phased out anyway since they've been replaced with smart watches.
I analyzed it thoroughly, and I noticed a distinct feature, unlike any other pocket watches this one has some kind of logo on it. I haven't seen anything like it before.

And behind, it has the letters 'TBWCW' if I'm not mistaken, I think it's an acronym I just don't know what it stands for.
I kept looking at it, I knew the book gave it to me. But what do I do with it? Where did it come from?
Questions enveloped my head, I put it down as well as the book. I sat on the edge of my bed with my face buried in my hands, I took a few deep breaths, some curses here and there, I couldn't help it! I don't even know what's happening at this point.
Ang plano ko dapat papasok na ako sa work bukas, pero parang hindi pa pala. With everything that's happening right now, I think I need my friends to help me out. . . . . . -PAU'S POV- Habang nasa loob kami ng jeep pauwi, I can't help but to space out and think about what, why, and how 'that' just happened.
Nakatulala lang ako habang naka tingin doon sa bintana nung jeep, pero parang ang hirap makapag munimuni pag may buhok na pumapasok sa bunganga mo 'no?
Para namang pinapakain sa'kin ni ateng katabi ko yung buhok n'ya, tapos itong si Josh na katabi ko wagas namang maka bukaka.
'Wag na nga lang mag isip, lamog na lamog na 'ko.
-JOSH'S POV- On our way home, napansin ko na tulala lang si Pau the whole time. As his friend, kahit na puro kalokohan pinapakita ko dito eh syempre concerned pa rin ako.
So I decided to ask him what's wrong. I lightly tapped my elbow against his, which made him turn to look at me.
"uy, ayos ka lang?"
"huh? Oo, may iniisip lang" he answered.
"may isip ka pala" pabiro ko'ng sinabi, hoping to lighten up the mood.
"tungaw."
We shared our laughter, trying to keep it down since we were still inside the jeepney full of people.
