Thank you! °°°°° A Tale of Time (BL - Fantasy) Priam was the last king of Troy in Greek Mythology. And nope... Priam Ignacio is not a king. Pero kung umasta siya madalas ay daig pa ang isang hari. Ubod kasi siya ng tamad at gusto na laging pinagsisilbihan. Bukod doon ay hindi rin niya pinapahalagahan ang oras. Not until he was caught in an accident. Parang mga napapanuod niya sa pelikula, nakita niya ang sarili na walang malay habang nakahiga sa hospital bed. Doon din nagpakita sa kanya ang tila kaluluwa na nagpakilalang si Mahakali, ito raw ang oras at kailangan siya nitong turuan ng leksiyon na pahalagahan ang bawat segundo. From present time and date, Priam was sent back to 1974. Doon niya nakilala si Troy Hidalgo, isang pariwara at basagulerong lalaki. Gaya niya ay hindi rin binibigyan ni Troy ng halaga ang bawat oras, at ang misyon niya ay mabago ang pananaw nito. Kailangan niyang matapos ang misyong iyon bago sumapit ang alas dose sa orasan na bigay sa kanya ni Mahakali. Pero tila ba may mas malalim pang dahilan kung bakit sa dinami-rami ng tao ay si Troy pa. Hindi kasi niya inakala na mahuhulog ang loob niya sa mayabang na lalaki. Ano nga ba ang koneksiyon nito sa buhay niya?
