His Madness Is My Happiness [COMPLETED]

Part I

My father wants me to buy a medicine in the pharmacy for his aching teeth. I am all alone and the street is filled with noise and I can hear voices of children playing on the left side and a karaoke from afar. I left my phone at home because it was still charging and I felt so uneasy without something to hold. Now, I regret not pulling it out from its socket earlier.

I sighed deeply and walk passed on the dirty chamber near our street and the loud music is turned down nor the noisy children became silent after the lights go off. Gone all the noisy street and all I can hear is the sound of crickets behind the grass from a far.

Blackout.

I murmured. I remain frozen on the spot where I am standing - hoping for the electricity to come back but it already took me almost three minutes of standing but the lights are still turned off.

So, me - being paranoid sometimes -, I roamed my eyes around the place only to find out that I am standing near the black abandon house of Mayor Evangelista. I heard so many things and different stories from different people about this house. Na kesyo dito daw 'yong lugar where Mayor Evangelista was found dead and whatsoever. For me, it doesn't make sense. Maybe people are just flaunting hoax just to create stories out of different news.

My forehead knotted when my knees got swollen for I don't know why. One minute I roamed my eyes, and maybe for after three seconds or so, I find myself shouting from what I saw from behind.

C'mon! It's my greatest self defense in case this person will do something to me. And who the hell is this man?!

"Fuck! Can you please shut up?!" I heard him shouted while he is still doing something behind me.

"Uh, huh?"

"I just want to get some sample of your blood for my experiment. A random blood test for my new invented virus." He uttered after a 'click' sound.

"What the hell?"

"Yeah, just what the hell?" he mimicked and medyo tumaas naman ang dugo ko nang unti-unti kong na-realize kung ano ang ginawa niya sa tuhod ko.

"You turd! Kukuha ka na nga lang ng dugo sa maling ugat pa. Tuhod?! Just what the hell, dude?" I shouted at him while I am rubbing my knees, "And who are you? Bakit ka nandito?" naka-kunot ang noo kung tanong sa kaniya. This place is an abandoned place kaya iilan lang ang dumadaan dito. I just chose to walk this way dahil ayaw kong maka-encounter nang mga tambays and all. I need isolation for tonight but this guy ruined my solitude.

He smirked at me and emptied the syringe right after transferring my blood inside a gauze. And mind you, walang nakalat na dugo huh tapos wala pang ilaw.

Paano niya nakikita ang mga gamit niya gayong walang namang ilaw sa lugar na 'to?!

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you that question? Who are you? Bakit ka nandito sa lugar ko?"

"Lugar mo? Didn't you forgot that this place is a goddamn subdivision and what do you expect from this place, ikaw lang ang may-ari?!" I fired at him at pinagpag ang damit ko. Ewan, just to regain my poise. This man is proud and I can't let him feel he's a superior.

Naku, naku! Gosh, pull yourself together Madi. Masamang pumatay.

"Well, you got a point. By the way, I am living there" he pointed the black house in our front.

"W-what?" I felt my knees trembled and I automatically take one step backward. How is that possible? If this guy is scheming me thru his words probably, I will kick her again. No one lives here anymore!

"I lived there, alone. Technically, I am with my parents before but they were all shoot on the head and puuff! I was left in this place - alone." He made a weird actions and I then make a face. Is he some sort of, crazy?

"So, if totoo man 'yang sinasabi mo..." I trailed while still staring at him, " then you are the mysterious son of Mayor Evangelista?"

"Yeah. And nice to meet you mi amoré!" He suddenly shouts and bent downward to grab my hand and kissed my knuckles.

Napanganga naman ako sa gulat matapos niya gawin 'yon. He opened his arms widely and smiled before looking at me and on the house in front of us, "Welcome to my humble abode I am Veronico Manuel your spanish bad boy from Spain. Nice to meet you!"

I uttered shock because of his sudden mood swings. From conceited to serious to playboy Spanish man? Wtf was that?!

"WAHAHAHAHAHA! YOUR FACE SEEMS SO PRICELESS! DOMINIC COME HERE! MIMING!" he shouted on nowhere and he suddenly bent downward like he is rubbing a cat's head, where in fact, I didn't see any.

Okay, this is getting worse.What have I gotten myself into?

"Oh, I forgot this fine lady after me. Hello! Meet my pet, Dominic. I am a Veterinarian and here is my calling card. Call me if you have a pet that needs to be cure." he smiled after he said that and bent down again - trying to grab his so-called-pet.

But people, trust me, I didn't seen any dog nor cat or whatsoever.

He salute at me and walks inside their black gate as if he is holding something on his arms.

I was just standing here - behind the gate's bars while I saw him entering the abandoned mansion in front.

Who is he...really?
