6 Under the Moonlight

"Bisky! Bisky! Come on in. There you go." Then Seb felt he is not alone with Nomin's presence.

"Not at all, Karla's been hiding and peeping at you and it caused my heart to melt, I'm absolutely jealous, oh dear!" He secretly thought. Surprisingly, a lightning struck the cat Nomin that made it disappear.

"I saw it! The cat disappeared, oh my...it was not just an ordinary cat. Good Lord! a lot are happening around but It's about to rain too." He immediately went out from the lagoon and relocate his backpack. His clothes were all wet and he could not open the bag since the weather was very bad. If he will insist to open it, everything inside will be wet too. With his boxer's shorts he ran following a small path heading to the northern part till he saw a small nipa house. Everything was strange around, its empty, aside from a piece of cloth hanging and everything around was tidy. There are flowers in all sorts, rare ones and all's blooming. Then she tried to place his luggage on top of the table outside the hut. The table was already covered by nipa withered leaves so it was already safe to open the backpack. There he unpacked his luggage and took out some pair of clothes to wear. He has to hide a little on the corner so that he can better change. Meanwhile, the rain mysteriously stopped while someone's approaching towards the nipa hut. A classy handsome guy on his early 20's, with his one sided black and a little long pony- tailed hair. He had his cute chinky eyes, thick lips, sharp masculine nose and seductive divided chin. With an average body built that is perfectly fit and attractive. His estimated stands around five and nine foot with a tan complexion.

" Whoah! is that me coming?" She smiled.

"Hi! can I come in, this is actually my house." Then Nomin smiled as he seated beside Seb's luggage.

Seb was puzzled by his presence.

" Do you live here, alone? I saw some lady's shawl, scarf or cloak, whatever. I seem had a hunch that, a woman must have lived here." Seb talked a little nervous. There's some kind of a bizarre and terrifying experience with the cat hit with a lightning and gone, his jacket and polo shirt clipped and hanged all by themselves , the dream of the same place and a handsome look-a-like guy and with a shawl hanging in the house.

" Do I look suspicious? Hmm, I'm Nomin, some called me Bisky." Nomin just casually revealed his identity, shrugging his shoulders and stroking his feet below.

"Oh my, oh my holy Ghost!" Seb was about to recite the Our Father but Nomin jokingly stopped him.

"Hey Seb, don't worry, I'm harmless. I've got parents and pets too, maybe, in my past life. I do love eating when transformed and I lived being with my friends. I have my direct head but you can't see him, and I am here to pay for my punishment. Hmm, I was then hard headed, so this is it. I was being deported here to keep an eye with special people. I actually had been following you for years just to remove your " habak" that your mother gave you. Without you knowing, its not just a mere incantation but they were pure demons guarding you, that's allowed you to be a drunkard, suicidal and depressed. And...hey!" Nomin shouted because Seb fell down and collapsed.

"Seb!" Karla appeared from nowhere, crying while watching Nomin carrying her husband inside the nipa hut. He was sweating and Karla placed her hand on his forehead and found out that Seb had a high fever. While Nomin felt guilty on the other side, watching Seb from chilling, he hurriedly put his hand on his forehead and made him sleep and feel better.

" Nomin, how is it. Why you quickly told him about your secrets."

" Hmm, you know who this man is. He isn't a stranger to me, he's my past and my future. I, I don't know anymore if on how to help him, though, I was with you for years and instead of getting closer to him until his time comes, but, it didn't happen due to the "habak." His life was prolonged because of the cult people, isn't that weird, I'm his soul but, but I'm guarding you." The unsettled angel looked to Karla while winking his left eye.

" Thanks Nomin, it could have been difficult to me without you." Karla smiled while touching his messy hair as he dramatically and jokingly fell down and gone.

While Karla was sobbing, Seb suddenly opened his eyes and blink again and again to ensure that he was not asleep anymore. He slowly sat down and struggling with his heartbeats. He saw her right there, looking at him and he could not really resist his eager mind approaching his weakened body to hers like all centuries met that passionate night. In split seconds, Nomin was already beside them and grabbed Seb's jacket that nearly choke him till he was pinned on the bamboo wall and knocked down again.

"Nomin! what you're doing! we're just sitting side by side.."

" Yes, don't you think foul for it. That man isn't your husband anymore."

"But why you're helping him to get closer to me, isn't that only for self-interest?"

" That's my body. You know that. I was just trying to search for the truth if what happened after I died. My memories were erased. I was only told by my direct head that I was Seb's past and future, but he is your present. Don't you think this is all silly! No, everything you see in him were all similar with me." Nomin tearfully grabbed her hand and placed it on her chest.

" Feel my heartbeats too, though everytime I wanted to be closer to you...I vanished." Nomin's tears joggled on his cheeks.

" But we are together, we survived being like that for all these years. I'm sorry Nomin, but its just that till you recover your memories. Remain as my guardian angel Nomin, you may not yet him but you are who I was with in my youth."

Nomin brought her uphill, in the old park. He lighted all the old bulbs together in red colors that amazingly shielded them both while sitting on the bench. Then suddenly, the light bulbs were gone. But it seems that they knew who made it. They just smiled funnily at each other and looked up at the romantic moonlight while holding their hands and watching the stars.
