"What? Isn't your world has hybrids too?" The man laying in the bed asked me. Saglit ko siyang tinitigan at napaisip dahil sa tanong niya.

The man I'm with is no other than Zander. Hiniga ko ang ulo ko sa balikat niya. Sunod namang hinaplos ni Lolong ang ulo ko habang nakahiga siya sa tabi namin. I felt someone lies down on my right thigh. Sinilip ko ito't nakitang si Zex pala.

After the meeting with Solomon and his family branches, they offered us a big room with red canopy bed to rest. The bed is in queen size and covered with red silk. Halatang bagong laba ang tela ng kama dahil may naamoy akong parang downy. Tumingala ako sa taas at hindi maiwasang mapahanga dahil may kurtina pa ang bed. I can also see something shimmering from above. I'm not sure what that was, maybe some designs. Ang dami ring palamuti nitong kama.

"Hybrid ba kamo? Parang mukha ni Anthonus?" Inis kong sambit.

Narinig ko naman ang malakas na pagtawa ni Lolong sa tabi ko't agad naman siyang kinurot ni Zander. Saglit naman kaming nagkatinginan ni Zex na kanina pa abala sa paghaplos at paghalik ng hita ko. Pinitik ko ang kamay niya't napangising aso na lang siya.

''Walang hybrid-hybrid shits sa amin. Uso lang ang mga aswang. Madaming klase ng aswang, mga tiktik, tiyanak, manananggal at madami pang iba. We have some creatures too like witches, and dwarves,'' I said. ''Mga manananggal sa amin kamukha ni Anthonus.'' Natawa ako kahit alam ko namang hindi nila maintindihan kung ano'ng pinagsasabi ko.

''You shouldn't take like that in public, woman. Someone might hear you, or worst, if Anthonus isn't in good mood and heard you, he might get your head. Ilang beses niya nang ginawa 'yon.'' Imbes na matakot sa sinabi ni Zander ay napataas kilay na lang ako.

''And so?'' asik ko. ''Wala akong paki basta't mabalik ko lang lahat ng panlalait na ginawa niya sa akin. 'Buti na lang kamo ay nandon ka kanina at may kasama akong pumunta. Ako naman ang kailangan ninyo 'di ba?'' Sunod kong sinandal ang ulo ko sa balikat ni Lolong pero hinawakan ni Zander ang ulo ko't binalik sa balikat niya. SIya naman ang pinitik ko't natawa si Lolong.

''Your mouth is amusing, woman. It's quite hot. No wonder that mouth of yours is noisy.'' Makahulugang sabi ni Zex habang enjoy na enjoy siya sa hita ko. ''By the way, I'm just wondering if a woman's legs are really like this? I wonder why there's no hair and you didn't have any scratches on your legs.'' Tinaas niya pa ang slit sa leg ko't sumilip sa taas.

''Gago 'to!'' Nanggigigil ko siyang sinabunutan. ''Akala ko ba magka-away kayo ng bebe mo?'' Sunod ko siyang pinalo't natatawa naman sa amin si Lolong.

''We just had a misunderstanding, woman.'' Lolong kissed my shoulder.

''The woman's body is amusing too. Your highness loves your huge breasts, small waist, big thighs, and heart-shaped ass.'' Pinagkrus ni Zander ang mga braso niya't binangon ko ng konti ang ulo ko at salubong na tinitigan siya.

''Sino sa kambal?'' I asked.

''Oh, it's Arthur. Your highness said he never saw such a small waist like yours.'' This time Lolong answered me. Napabalik na lang ang higa ko sa balikat ni Zander. He caress my head first and plays with my hair. Hinayaan ko siyang gawin kung ano'ng gusto niya dahil pagod din naman ako sa lahat ng lakad namin. Hindi lang pagod kamo at nauubos na rin ang pasensya ko kay Anthonus.

''While Your Highness, Anthonus mentioned that he wants your head to be displayed in the museum. It's crazy. I prefer the calm and composed Arthur with us when we're traveling. You say, Anthonus? Oh, no. He's one damn crazy jerk—'' Zex didn't finish his sentence because Zander pinched his arm.

Natawa na lang ako. ''Oh, bakit? Totoo naman. 'Kala niya cool siya sa pang-iwan sa akin kanina?'' Naiinis kong sambit.

''But it seems like you didn't even shed a tear, woman. You were even eating chocolates from Arthur.'' Hindi maiwasang saad ni Zander. I rolled my eyes at him.

''Ba't ako iiyak, ano ako, kinder?'' inis kong sabi. Saglit kaming nanahimik dahil lahat kami'y pagod na pagod.

''I love the woman's long and silky hair. I liked pulling it—'' Lolong pinches Zex to cut him off. Napangisi na lang ako't umiling dahil sa kanila.

Muli akong humiga para saglit na magpahinga. Nalukot na lang ang noo dahil may napansin ako habang kung saan-saan nakarating ang pag-iisip ko. Wait, the shades of their collars have meaning. The deeper the thing they did with me, the darker their collars.

I made out with Zex and Lolong at the same time. As a result, their woman's marks are darker than Uno's. Meanwhile, Arthur tasted my juice, so his collar became the darkest compared to others. Napapikit na lang ako't sapo-sapo ang aking noo.

So ipapakain ko sa kanilang lahat ekup ko para pantay-pantay 'yong kulay ng woman's marks nila?

''I'm so tired!'' Lahat kami'y napatingin kay Flame nang pumasok siya sa pinto. Tinitigan ko siya't halos papikit na. Basa't puno ng pawis ang buhok niya pati na rin ang suot niya ay puno ng gusot. Kanina pa siya humihingal at napansin ko rin na puno ng dungis 'yong suot niya. Naglakad palapit sa direksyon namin si Flame.

''Anyare sa'yo?'' I asked. He glances at me. Dumiretso na siyang nahiga sa kama at talagang sa hita ko pa siya sumandal. Flame lies down on my left thigh. Parehas na sila ni Zex na nakahiga sa mga hita ko. Akala mo naman kung magaan sila.

''I volunteered to help them, they said that we're going to celebrate a Festival and it will be fun,'' Flame said. Lahat naman kami ay nagtaka dahil sa narinig. Nakahinga ako nang maluwag dahil napabangon si Zex sa right thigh ko.

''Realy? What festival?'' Excited na sabi ni Zex. Parang bata din 'tong isang 'to.

''I don't know. Just leave me alone. Pagod na pagod ako,'' Flame hugged my thigh. Napabuntong hininga na lang ako't saglit na pumikit. Pagdilat ko'y nakapikit na rin si Lolong sa tabi ko. Nakaharap siya sa direksyon ko at naiwan na lang akong napatitig sa kaniya. Sunod na bumaba ang tingin ko kay Flame na nakahiga sa kaliwang hita ko. Inabot ko ang ulo niya at hinaplos. Kawawa naman ang isang ito, pagod na pagod.

I glance at his Flame's neck. Yeah, right. Until now, I didn't know when I would give him a woman's mark. I'm just thinking when, where, and how I will give him.

''By the way, when will Baste and Ehmyr go back? We still need the candy from them,'' Zander asked Zex. Ako naman ang nanahimik at mapalukot noo. I just remembered Uno instructing me to blend with them. How will I blend? Mahabang buhok ko pa nga lang ligwak na.

''Yeah. Ba't ako ang tinatanong mo? You're the one who sticks with Uno all the time. Siya naman ang dapat masunod 'di ba?'' Zex shrugs his shoulders. Gumapang ang kamay niya papasok ng slit ko. Naningkit ang mga mata ko at kinurot ang kamay niyang sinaniban ng demonyo. He laughed at me.

''How will the woman blend it? With that hair and body...'' Zander stares at me from head to toe. Naramdaman kong may tumutusok sa may puwetan ko kaya pinandilatan ko siya ng mga mata.

''Sorry. I can't help it,'' Zander whispered.

Zex gave us a smug face. ''Oh, Zander, you don't have a woman's mark? Flame too. You can call me if you need some fun—''

Sinabunutan ko si Zex at panay naman ang hiyaw niya. Nang bitawan ko siya'y naluluha na siyang tumingin sa akin. He pouted. Nag-beautiful eyes pa si tanga. Akala siguro madadaan ako sa ganyan.

''Well, maybe we can ask some help to Solomon's brothers? We all know that Trav—'' Pinisil ni Zander ang binti ni Zex. Muli siyang napahiyaw.

''Who?'' Magkasalubong ang mga kilay kong tinitigan silang dalawa kahit nakahiga sa hita ko si Zex.

''It's one of our scholars,'' Zander said. ''By the way, I'm thinking who among the eldest from these Family Branches will you save first?'' Napaisip ako sa naging tanong niya. I mean, they're all good-looking, but I can't choose at first sight.

I wanted to know Vernon first because I found his piercings cool. He's the first man that I saw here wearing piercings. I used to wear piercings too.

''I need to get to know them first,'' I answered. Napatango naman silang dalawa sa sinabi ko. Nagulat ako nang magising si Flame at humikab. Saglit niyang binangon ang ulo at hinanap ako. I stare back at him.

''By the way, the hybrid cat has something for you. I nearly forgot. Pasensya na dahil sa sobrang pagod ko,'' Flame said. I nodded to let him know that it was okay to get tired.

''Ano'ng ibibigay sa akin no'ng pusa?'' Nagtataka kong sabi. Mula sa suot na mahaba't makapal na coat ni Flame ay may kinuha siya. Bumangon ako mula sa pagkahiga sa balikat ni Zander para tingnan 'yon. Pati si Zander at Zex ay nagtatakang tumingin sa hawak ni Flame.

''Dash told me to give this to you, he said you will like this. It's a gift for today's festival.'' Sa mukha ni Flame ay alam kong nagtataka rin siya sa sinabi ko.

''Maybe that's an expensive fish because he's a cat?'' Natatawang sabi ni Zex. Isang kurot naman ang natanggap niya mula kay Zander.

''You're damn noisy,'' asik ni Zander. Naningkit naman ang mga mata ni Zex sa kaniya. Napasapo na lang ako ng noo dahil sa kanilang dalawa. Daig pa nila ang makukulit ng pre-school.

''I'll just need to untie the ribbon, right?'' I glances at Flame. Tumango siya bilang sagot at binalik ko naman ang tingin ko sa hawak kong box.

It looks like a medium silver box tied with a very big ribbon. Naningkit ang mata ko habang hawak 'yon. I can imagine that damn cat's smug face. Malakas ang kutob ko na baka sasabog ito.

''What's that? Open it! Open it!'' Zex started chanting like a child. Kinurot uli siya ni Zander at nagising din si Lolong dahil sa ingay niya. Pinukpok ko sa ulo ni Zex 'yong hawak kong box.

''That hurts! What's that for?'' Zex exclaims while rubbing his head. Napanguso uli siya't suminghot-singhot. Akala mo naman may lumalabas na luha sa mga mata wala naman.

''Try ko lang kung sasabog kapag pinukpok ko,'' I said while staring at the box.

''Are you trying to say that you are willingly to offer me as a sacrificial lamb?'' Hurt na hurt na sabi ni Zex. Madrama siyang humawak sa dibdib niya at nag-MMK habang nakahiga sa hita ko.

Makulit din pala 'tong Zex, para siyang bulate na binudburan ng asin.

''W-what's that?'' Lolong said in his just-woke-up voice. Napahikab pa siya't bumangon. Nakaupo na rin ako sa kama't lahat sila. Huminga ako nang malalim at binuksan na rin ang hawak kong box galing kay Dash.

When I opened it, I was greeted by a colorful confetti. When I stared back at the box, colorful dick candies and toys started popping up everywhere. I shrieked while the box was on top of my palm.

Zex laughs while watching me. Hindi ko ba alam kung ba't hinintay ko pa talagang huminto 'yong paglabasan ng mga candy at laruang tite mula sa box. I gritted my teeth because I can imagine that cat laughing at me.

''Look! This looks like yours!'' Zex laughed as he picked one of the dick toys and showed it to Lolong. Napanganga na lang ako nang makita ito. It looks like a fucking dildo. A black dildo and almost 7 inches.

''Mine is bigger.'' Lolong smirks. Lalo akong ngumanga habang nakatingin kay Lolong. Kumindat siya sa akin kaya pinalo ko siya.

''No, mine is bigger than this, I think.'' This time Zander held the dick toy.

Napasapo na lang ako sa ulo habang nakatingin sa nagkalat na mga dick candy sa kama. Pumulot ako ng isa't napanganga nang mapagtanto ko kung ano ito. It was a dick waffle covered with white cream sauce on top. Napamura na lang ako. Sinasabi ko na nga ba.

''Let's ask the woman if our dicks are bigger than these,'' Zex suggested. Lahat sila'y napatingin sa akin. Napangiwi ako nang ibaba ni Zex ang zipper ng pantalon niya. Kinuha ko 'yong unan sa harap ko't sinampal sa mukha ni Zex.

''Gago ka ba? Sige, ilabas mo! Putol agad 'yan!'' Lalo kong nilakasan ang paghampas ko sa kaniya.

''Chill. We're just kidding,'' Lolong pulled me closer. Sinandal niya ang ulo ko sa balikat niya't pinalupot ang mga kamay sa akin.

''I'm tired too. I want to sleep!'' I heard Zex's voice. Sunod kong naramdaman ang pagsandal niya sa likod ko habang nasa ibabaw ako ni Lolong. Gumulong tuloy si Flame na nakahiga sa hita ko't nahulog sa kama.

''Ouch!'' Flame exclaimed. Tumayo siya't naningkit ang mga mata niyang tinitigan sila Zex at Lolong.

Flame started pulling Zex away from me Nanririndi ang mga tenga ko sa mga 'to. Ang lalaki ng katawan at ang tatangkad pero parang mga bata! Mabuti na lang ay bumangon si Zander para paluin si Flame.

After resting, I immediately went to Dash's shop. Nakapalit na rin ako ng panlalaki't nagsuot ng wig para itago ang mahaba kong buhok. May ilang nakasalubong pa akong kalalakihan na sa tingin ko'y kilala si Solomon. They tried to approach me because I look new but I just smiled at them. I gritted my teeth as I hold the box with my right hand. Naiinis ako nang ma-alala ang mukha ng pusang 'yon. Akala niya siguro ay palalagpasin ko 'tong binigay niya.

Nang makarating na ako sa shop ni Dash at walang sabi akong pumasok sa loob. I saw the cat smiling on the counter. He's talking with men who wore masquerade gold and silver masks.

Nang lapitan ko sila'y napako ang tingin ko sa mga suot nilang masks. Hindi ko maiwasang mapanganga habang duro-duro ang mga suot nila. Every mask they were wearing is designed with dicks. Mga adik ba sila?

''Tangina, ba't may tite 'yang mga maskra ninyo. Adik ba kayo?'' Pambubungad ko sa lalaking katabi ko.

''Oh! Looks like the woman loved my gift!'' Dash giggles. Binato ko sa kaniya ang hawak ko't nagtititili siyang umiwas doon.

''Hey, what's wrong?'' The guy in front said. Tinitigan ko siya habang kunot noo dahil pamilyar ang itsura niya pero hindi ko matukoy kung sino siya dahil sa suot niyang maskara.

When he removed his masks, I realized he was Solomon. Sunod kong tinitigan ang mga lalaking katabi niya dahil obvious naman na mga kapatid niya ito.

''Sorry,'' I looked away. ''Ito kasing adik na pusa na 'to, magbibigay ng regalo tapos puro candy na tite at dildo! Nakahithit ka ba?'' Muntik ko na siyang suntukin pero tinatawanan niya lang ako.

''It seems like the woman didn't know about the Penis Festival.'' Literal akong napanganga nang magsalita ang lalaki sa tabi ni Solomon. He removed his silver mask and I saw that it was Vernon. The man next to him removed his mask and it's Sebastian. I stare at Vernon as he flicks the piercing on his lower lip using his tongue.

''Don't panic, woman. The Penis Festival is held to celebrate our manhood. I know you'll freaked out. We're talking about explaining things to you slowly, but. . . since you're already here, I guess it's time to tour you around, right, Solomon?'' Sebastian glances at Solomon. Nakapatong lang ang siko ni Dash sa counter habang nakangising nakatingin sa akin. His tail is swaying. Pinandilatan ko siya ng mga mata dahil akala niya siguro'y nakakatawa siya.

''Do I need to eat all the dick candies?'' I asked. Solomon, Sebastian and Dash giggles. Nasa gilid lang si Vernon at hindi ko alam kung bakit nakasimangot siya't parang napilitang sumama. Based on his body language, I can tell that he's anxious.

''Why? Is it your first time to see candies like those? We're sorry,'' Solomon smiled.

''Oh, we should ask the woman if she prefers us to wear masks with these designs or the plain ones?'' Agad akong napangiwi dahil sa naging tanong ni Sebastian.

''Obvious ba? Alangan namang maglalakad din ako na may nakasabit na tite sa mukha?'' Inis kong sabi.

Solomon's smile never fade while Sebastian is trying to surpressed his laugh. Halos mamula na siya kakapigil ng ngiti niya at nakita ko ang patagong pagkurot sa kaniya ni Solomon.

''Woah! Way too go, woman! Savage girl!'' Dash commented while watching us. Pinakyuhan ko siya at lalo siyang natawa.

''We will do your preference, woman. Thank you so much for suggesting.'' Solomon glances at Vernon. ''Oh, looks like my brother wants to say Hello.'' Sunod niyang hinila si Vernon na agad na lumukot ang noo.

''Huh? Don't talk to me—'' Sebastian held Vernon's head for a bow. Malawak naman ang ngiti ng dalawa habang itong isa'y kanina pa nakasimangot. Hindi nakawala sa paningin ko ang bagay na nasa dila niya. It was late when I realized that he also has a tongue piercing. He's really cool for me.

I stare at Vernon for a long time, I was checking out his lip piercings. I wonder what it meant for this world? Is it for social status? It is also a form of art? When I glances back at Vernon's face, I saw him blushing. Umiwas ako ng tingin sa kaniya't nahuli ko namang nakatingin sa akin ang dalawa niyang mga kapatid.

''We can meet Uno now, I guess. We will give you time to talk with them, okay? Don't be pressured to choose among us who you want to save first,'' Solomon said while we were walking.

''We won't go with Uno?'' I said.

''No. It's because Your Highness requested for a tour here in Tibbanus,'' Sebastian answered me. Dalawa silang nakangiti sa akin ni Solomon pero napako kay Vernon ang tingin ko.

I noticed that while we were walking, men were staring at him too. No wonder, he's the tallest among them and he also has tan skin. Ang problema nga lang ay lagi siyang nakabusangot at never ko siyang nakitang ngumiti. I just shrug my shoulders.

''Si Anthonus?'' I said them but they stare at me as if they're wondering why I call their Prince with his first name. Duh! Kamusta naman ako ng daga ang tawag niya? Kung mukha akong daga, siya mukhang pigsa.

''Yes. . . The Highness requested for a tour. One of my men will tour Uno's group, but we will give you time to talk with them.'' Solomon explained. ''And when you come back, you are free to grab any goods from the shop.''

''In addition to that, there are goods that Dash doesn't want to give for free, but we will talk to him, don't worry,'' Sebastian continued. Tumango na lang ako sa kanilang dalawa. I rolled my eyes because of what I heard. Feeling relevant talaga 'yang Anthonus na 'yan.

Lumipat naman ang tingin ko kay Vernon. I was waiting for him to say some reminders to me. Nahuli ko siyang nakatingin sa akin at agad na namula ang mga tenga niya't tumingin sa ibang direksyon.

I watched him as he played with his tongue piercing. The sounds he makes while playing with his lip piercing using his tongue sounds good.

Tumingin ako sa paligid at napa-what the fuck na lang ako nang makita na halos lahat ng ng nasa paligid namin ay may suot na mask. What makes it even funnier is their masks has dicks everywhere. Parang maliliit na dildo. Hindi ako makapaniwala dahil ang lakas ng saltik ng mga lalaki rito.

Penis Festival? As weird as it's named, I wonder what's the purpose of this festival. Mga adik ba sila? Nagpapahabaan ba ang mga lalaki sa piyestang ito?

I looked around and all I can see are people wearing headbands with gigantic dicks. There are also men holding colorful dick balloons. I can also see groups of men carrying large statues of dicks. Kung dala ko lang ang cellphone ko kanina pa ako nag-video rito. Matik tatawanan ako ng mga barkada ko sa GC. Ang lakas din ng tama nakaisip ng Penis Festival na 'to. Wala sigurong magawa sa buhay.

From afar, I can see Uno's group standing from afar. Nagulat ako kung bakit iba na ang suot nila't lahat nakasuot ng maskra, kasama ko lang sila mahiga kanina. As we approaching towards Uno's group, I can see Zex and Flame laughing. Panay naman ang kurot sa kanila nila Val at Zander.

''Are you sure you're that big like that? Yours is smaller!'' Zex pointed at Flame. Isang malakas na kurot ang natanggap niya galing kay Val nang makita ako. Uno glances at Flame and Zex too and as usual, they became silent like flash.

''Greetings, Uno's men.'' Solomon and Sebastian bowed. Nakabusangot naman si Vernon at nang hindi pa siya kalbitin ni Sebastian ay hindi pa siya yuyuko.

I stared at them because I couldn't almost recognize them because of their masks. And all of them are wearing thick fur coats too. Nakilala ko lang sila sa mga boses. I can tell who's Val because of the height, and Uno and Flame because of posture. Kung may makulit na parang kitikiti, matik si Zex 'yon.

''It's nice to have you here,'' Uno glances at me. Hindi ko ba alam kung para sa akin 'yon, hindi naman ako ang kaharap niya. Tumango sa kaniya sila Solomon.

''We will give you a minute to talk with that woman. We're asking for your permission to let her have a tour with us. For now, let's wait for Your Highness' arrival,'' Solomon explained. Agad na akong lumapit kila Uno at ang unang humila sa akin ay si Flame.

''Wear this,'' Flame said. He's wearing a silver mask with ruby gems. Tinandaan ko ang suot niyang maskara. I opened my palm to see what he was giving me. It was a silver bracelet with shiny tiny pearls.

''Para saan ito?'' Nagtataka kong sambit. He held my hand.

''My clan is known for pearls, everyone knows about us over Shakrila. If someone saw you wearing this, they'll know that... you are my woman,'' Flame said. Napaiwas ako ng tingin at hindi nakapagsalita.

Should I give him a mark for other men to know that I claimed him?

Hinayaan kong isuot niya sa akin ang bracelet na 'yon. Sunod na lumapit sa akin sila Uno at Zander. They told me that the tour with Solomon's group will help me decide who I wanted to save between the brothers. Wala naman ako choice kun'di ang tumango sa kanila.

''Tibbanus is a very huge town, so we requested some of Solomon's men for protection,'' Uno whispers to my ear. He gave me a dick candy. ''Eat this if you're hungry.'' Muntik na akong matawa dahil mukhang tite talaga ang inabot niyang waffle pero 'buti na lang nakiramdam ako na seryoso siya. I nodded at them before I bid my goodbye.

''Don't worry, these are my men...'' Solomon said. Sebastian smiles at me. Ngumiti naman ako pabalik. While walking, I decided to eat the dick waffle that Uno gave me. Natatawa pa ako habang inaalis ang wrapper. I stared at it for a long time. Natawa na ako dahil nakita kong may ugat pa ito't parang totoong tite talaga. Sinukat ko ito gamit ang mga daliri ko't napasinghap na lang ako.

I bet the man who made this waffle used his dick as a model.

When I looked up, my brows furrowed when I couldn't find Solomon and his brothers anymore. Natigilan ako't nagpalinga-linga sa paligid. Everyone is wearing masks so I can't tell which is which. All I can see are gigantic dick statues, balloons, and men wearing masks.

''You okay?'' A man approached me out of nowhere. Hindi ako nakapagsalita't tinitigan muna siya. ''It's okay, you're safe now. Let's continue walking...''

I didn't talk. Nagpatuloy ako sa paglalakad nang hindi pinapansin ang lalaki. I observed him but I can't see his eyes because he is wearing a homburg. Napalukot na lang ang aking noo nang saglit siyang tumango upang silipin ang mukha ko. Did I see it right? This man has jet black eyes.

''I'm tired,'' I told him. Tumigil din siya sa paglalakad.

''Oh,'' he glances at the bench. ''Let's see their and wait for others,'' he added. Hindi ko siya pinansin at dumiretso sa bench. Nakasunod lang siya sa akin habang naglalakad. Hinayaan ko siyang maupo sa tabi ko. However, I wasn't a fool not to be careful too.

I know he's a stranger and not one of Solomon's men. Because if he was, he wouldn't wear a homburg to hide his hair, right? Besides, I can memorize people's voices too.

I kept my distance from him and did what I wanted to do. I finally opened the dick waffle. I noticed that there was also a white cream candy on top so I licked it. When I stare at the man beside me, he's staring at me. Tumingala siya't nakita kong nakatingin siya sa suot kong bracelet.

''Hey, are you perhaps—'' I didn't let him finish his sentence. Tumayo ako't inabot ko ang dick statue sa gilid ko't pinukpok ito sa pader at tinutok sa kaniya. The man raises his hands and stood up.

''C-chill, I mean no harm—'' Lalo kong nilapit sa kaniya ang nakatutok na binasag kong statue.

''Who are you?'' I asked. Nararamdaman ko man ang lamig ng tiyan ko dahil sa maari niya ring gawing pabalik sa akin. He could shot, punch or even kill me in instant. Ayaw ko lang magpadala sa gamit ko. It's clear that I was lost in a town, a world full of men I didn't know too. Walang magandang maidudulot kapag naging tanga-tangahan ako rito.

''Please... I mean no harm,'' he said. Mas lalo kong tinutok sa leeg niya ang pinakamatulis na bahagi ng hawak ko. The statue that I broke was made of glass so it's sharp enough to slice this man's neck. Nagsimulang manginig ang kamay ko pero hindi ko inalis ang tingin sa kaniya.

''You're a...'' The man sigh. Sunod niyang inalis ang suot niyang sumbrero't nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang makita kong itim ang buhok niya. We have the same hair. My eyes grew wider when he removed his mask and showed me his face.

He is the first man that I saw who looks Asian, we almost look identical because we have the same physical features. His face looks south-east asian. Singkit din ang mga mata niya't itim na itim ang mga mata. He looks like a Korean Idol and someone, who came from my world. Natigilan na lang ako habang nakatingin sa kaniya at ngumiti siya. I also noticed the tiny mole at the bottom part of his eyes.

''The name's Travis... You're a woman, right?'' he stares at my hands." Your hands didn't look like a man's hands.''

I stare at him for a long time because it's so odd to see someone who looks like who came from my world. Tangina. Sino nanaman ba 'to?
