The Jerk is a Ghost

51

I was thinking if I will bring my 'mother-in-law' here tomorrow. The trouble is FIRE is anticipating for Tita Lo's 'padala' to them as 'pamasko'. But I will be there tomorrow after paying our Meralco bills.

"Thank You, Lord! Thank You for we could now enjoy electricity-consuming. Tomorrow I would pay our dues. Thank You for blessing Jano with that money. Lord, god, guide me. Protect me tomorrow. I hope I could pay it safely without loss or bad fate. Then, help me in decision-making. I was in chaos. I didn't know how to get a job. There are so many vacancies but, I was double-minding. There's always a trouble such as resume/bio-data, picture, fare or the same. You know, God, how much I have longed for a job. Please, Lord, help me. Give me a job. Whatever job will do, as long as it's decent. Thank You! Thank You for everything. Pardon me. Pardon usthe sinners. Amen! "

Seven-thirty, I left Bautista, despite the rain, to pay our electric bills. It was past 8:30 when I have got there.

The lines were so long. I waited so long.

I wasn't shocked when I paid P3,493+ because November bill was included. Alas! Just couldn't have a kickback.

I, then called Gie, as she told me. We have no budget left. The change was only P60, which was enough for fare. She gave me the directions on how to go to her workplace in QC sothat she could give me our weekly budget (P500).

My head was aching while I was on the jeepney. Plus, traffic was devastating.

There, Gie's co-worker told me to prepare my resume 'so that he (He's gay.) Could find a job for me. It interests me. In fact, he blamed me for being not prepared. I regret too for I intentionally left my requirement files including my prepared resume '. He also advised me to take away my timidity and to use non-jeans pants when applying. I appreciate his kindness.

After Gie has given me the money, I left immediately due to a 'bowelling-reason.' I was constipated. However, I have to mail Gie's greeting card in Cubao. I had a hard time looking for that far-off post office.

Then, I dropped by in my in-laws' house to satisfy my constipation. But, I haven't.

Fire insisted coming with me in Bautista. I actually did not want too. But because of what I have observed and what she related to me, I decided to take her and Hanna home.

Their house was fully-packed by my in-laws. Complete family, huh! Then, Hanna's milk was shared to Akisha. It's okay. Hanna shared milk with Akisha's too, oftentimes. Quits!

We market in Gate-2.

Two-thirty when we got home. Fire and I had a headache. We took in merienda. Then, I swept dried leaves at the garden. Flor has been negligent.

December 12, 2006

I woke up at 8AM and immediately prepared pancakes. It's been a long time since we last ate pancakes. It was when we were still in Boso-Boso.

Boso-Boso .. Boso-Boso. I missed Boso-Boso, especially when Fire asked me if I want to live again there. It was me. I flashed him a smile.

"Vladmir-kun. Is it really okay to let Lalaine infiltrate the Yakuza's turf?" Monhi asks Mir-chan worriedly.

"Heh. Don't worry about this shrimp. He's our president, remember?" Mir-chan answers him with a smile.

"I'll get going." I said. Then, I jumped out in the forest and immediately landed a hard blow on one of the gates. My nuclear kick didn't even crash this gate, huh. I land another kick, and another, and another one. I landed one last kick and it finally broke down!

Just as the humongous gate landed flat on the ground there were people waiting from inside. They all wear a Yakuza uniform. They immediately run towards me. Just as I was about to hit the guy Mir-chan preceded me.

"Mir-chan!" I call him. Beside him is Monhi

"Monhi!" I call him too.

"We're here as a team. We ain't letting you hog all fun!" Mir-chan landed a hard blow on one of Yakuza's face. Monhi gave one guy an uppercut. I kicked the guy's face and K.O. We exchanged punches and kicks until they were exhausted.

We immediately run towards the entrance of the house. Vivien, you didn't tell us you lived inside this humongous house. Just as we are about to reach the entrance there is another wave of Yakuza's troop. To make the work fast, I landed powerful nuclear kicks on every guy who faced me. I took a step inside and dodge an incoming punch. I kicked him hard in the stomach. I also dodged an incoming kick and also gave him a kick, much more stronger tho.

As we exchanged punches and kicks with the Yakuza, I noticed something strange in a large door not far from where we are standing. There are guys guarding the door. What are they guarding? A thought came in mind and I immediately run and went there. Landing a nuclear kick on them until they're all knocked-out.

I violently opened the door and from there I saw the shock and unbelievable expressions of the people. Judging from their outfits, they're probably the higher ups. I navigated through the whole room, or should I say the hall. My eyes landed on the familiar face I saw. It's her. It's really her. I wanna laugh at her facial expression. She's standing still, her eyes and mouth open due to shock maybe.

"How dare you infiltrated my house, young man !?" Angry shout of an older man. Is this person perhaps, Vinchin's father? I shifted my gaze and look at him.

"We're here .... To steal Vivien." I said smiling. "LALAINE, YOU i***t !!!!!" I shouted at him. I snapped out in shock and quickly walked closer to him.

"Vinchin!" Smiling Lalaine calls out to me, dodging what I said. When I got close to him I immediately slapped him. He was surprised at what I did. "You just infiltrated our sacred base. Do you want to get yourselves killed ?? You still have Vladmir and Minho." I told him seriously. He looked back at me in a questioning look.

"I-- I just ..." Lalaine nodded. I noticed from the outside the look that Vladmir and Minho had thrown at us, especially at me.

"Take the three of them at the purgatory room. Combine those two, and leave this one here alone in the other room. NOW!" I ordered the staff and they immediately took them. I saw Lalaine's face before he got pulled out in the hall. He's tearing up. Oh God.

"Yen ..? You know those three young man?" Mom gently asked me. I faced them and nodded.
