Lost Girl From Neverland

Chapter XVII: Grandson Of A Pixie

**************************

Jansen Peter Evangelista

Kasalukuyan na kaming nasa condo unit ko, kasama ko na ulit si Jeremy. Kakauwi lang namin galing sa mansyon nila Wynter at sobrang ganda ng umaga ko dahil nakita ko siyang ngumiti ng tunay sa unang pag kakataon, hindi pa rin ako maka paniwala na umepekto ang ginawa ko sa nanay niya. Hindi ko akalaing gagana yon, akala ko kalokohan lang ang lahat pero nag kakamali ako sa bagay na yon.

People might not be aware but I think granny is a pixie, she's a mythical creature from a story book and since I'm her grandson? That makes me a pixie too right? Or not? I don't know either because I don't have the guts to ask something ridiculous. When I was ten years old, I saw a book underneath granny's bed.

At first, the words were all jumbled and I think it was translated in a weird language but then it changed. I was able to read and understand it's content, it's a spell book about medications. I memorized everything but I'm still keeping the book itself just in case, I was able to used it once during our basketball tryouts.

Jeremy got injured a few hours ago before the games starts, he was sleeping at the infirmary then I whispered the words or spells that was written on book then when he woke up? He got better.

Parehas kaming naka pasok sa team noong araw na yon, nag tataka rin siya kung bakit biglang naging okay ang paa niya pero hindi naman na siya nag tanong. That was the time when I realized that my grandmother is a mythical creature, if not? Why is she keeping that kind of book? Why was I able to read, understand and memorized it's contents? I'm also like her and I'm thinking that my mother is also like us. I know this sounds crazy and ridiculous but this is for real, I'm not kidding.

Mayroong isang kwarto sa mansyon namin na hindi pwedeng pasukin ng kahit na sino, granny is the only one who can access that room. I'm her grandson and yet? I'm not allowed to go in there either. Sinubukan ko nang buksan ang pintuan doon kaso nahuli niya ako at pinarusahan, yon din ang unang beses na naramdaman ko ang palo at galit niya. She apologized after that, she just reminded me that I'm not allowed to go there.

"Dude? I'm dead". Aniya ni Jeremy. Kumunot ang noo ko sa sinabi niya, patay na daw siya? What's his deal? Did he went mad as well? Akala ko pa naman si Cairo lang talaga ang baliw sa mga kaibigan ko.

"What? Have you gone nuts?". I asked. Naka hawak siya sa dibdib niya at hindi mo maintindihan ang ekspresyon niya sa mukha, ano kayang problema neto?

"I'm dead cause I'm in love, I think I'm in love with Xandra". Diretsahan niyang pag lilinaw. Oh ano ngayon kung nahulog ka na sa kaniya? Anong gusto mong gawin ko? Ilaglag kita lalo?

"So? Congratulations dude, stop overreacting". Walang gana kong sagot sa kaniya. He's not dead yet, he'll be if he got rejected. I only knew Ember Moon from before, she's the part time model that my mother hired to work with me. The main model was absent and that was the time when we badly needed her but since she's not around? They immediately asked her to come to South Korea.

"Dude, why are you congratulating me? This is bad, I can't be in love with her". Medyo iritado niyang aniya. Itinaas ko ang isa kong kilay, bakit naman hindi pwede?

"C'mon, we've been best friends so for long. You know me, I don't go for serious relationships". Paalala niya sa'kin. Yon ang dahilan kung bakit ayaw niya, Xandra is not the problem but it's himself. I can't blame him for not trusting women, the first woman who hurt him was his own mother.
