Chapter 5

DULCIS

I cannot reach out for my robe. Where is it?

In lieu of the presence of my robe, I saw a familiar figure of a man. I tracked down who the man is. He is that same guy I saw before! He looks dead when he saw me. Oh boy, the guy's scared. Well, he is because I already had grasped his tremors. I need to find my robe for me to get out in here! I got frustrated because I cannot reach out for it. It is a meter away from me!

Sinigurado kong hindi niya makikita ang dibdib ko. I stretched out my arms pero wala talaga, ang layo! I tried. "Come on..."

I found his shoes taking small and slow steps. He is trembling when I look up to face him. He treads towards the place of my robe. He grabbed it and he's about to offer it for me but unfortunately...

I fell.

"Miss!" he yelled.

I even heard the splash because of my fall. Ugh! I need to climb to my hardest again! Kakaiba ang nararamdaman ko dahil nagging conscious ako sa katawan ko at hindi naman ito nangyyari sa akin noon. I wanna cover myself up even I am not used to. This man is an influence.

"Miss! Hello! Buhay ka pa ba?!" he shouted again.

"I'm okay!"

"Miss, paano ka aakyat?" he whispered but I heard it clearly. His worried tone made me panic, too.

"I can manage! Wait for me!"

"O-okay!"

I tried so hard to climb by my nails and my limbs. I saw hiw face and I reddened as I bow my head in embarrassment.

"P-pakiabot naman yung... y-yung robe," I said shyly. I expelled a heavy breath. I must take care of myself. "Huwag kang titingin," I even ordered.

God, his rearview is attractive!

I quickly put my robe on. I sat down and rested. A guy here is with me. I felt uneasy because he saw me at that moment of difficulty. He didn't know I shifted into a ruinous behemoth being a while back. I'm still lucky he didn't see me like that. That would be very awful...

He turned to look at me, looking more horrified when he saw me. "Multo!"

Aghast was all over him and that ridiculed me.

"I-ikaw di ba y-yung--"

"Wow! I'm glad you remembered me!" I flushed as I am overwhelmed he can still remember me. I walked towards him but he backed away.

"H-huwag kang l-lalapit! Multo!"

"Ghosts are benign, idiot," I prated.

"W-weh?" he hardly asked. Ano ba naman, malaking duwag! I chuckled.

"Oo nga! At... I am not a ghost! Ano 'to, recapitulation ng pagkikita natin three months ago?" I prated again and inspected him.

He wears a signature tee-shirt. He wears jeans just like the jeans Darke wear often.

My body is wet so when a gale came, it makes me shiver. "I gotta go," I murmured and started to walk. I wanna stay with him but I'm really cold, I almost quiver here. And... I'm tired, too. Kailangan kong matulog ng maayos. I need to follow Darke's instructions to me.

"Wait!" He gripped for my arm and he quivered in surprise with the contact of or skin. Told yah! I am not a ghost but I am a wolf! "Y-you're alive..."

"Syempre."

"Where are you living? Why are you out on this time?"

I pointed my index finger onto the location of my house. His head tilted to see the direction I was pointing.
