CBSUA Ghost Story 3

"Ano? Mga multo sa MPS?"

"Oo pare!"

"Raymund, naka drugs ka ba?"

"Rey, totoo to"

The two men was beginning to get loud in the canteen by the Food Tech Department. Rey just can't believe that he's friend would actually make things up just to intrigue him.

"Okay, sige ganito. Puntahan natin yan ngayon. Ngayon mismo"

"Eh Rey, wala yun ngayon. Alas kuwatro pa lang."

"Bakit, saan ba yan nag pupunta kapag araw?"

"Aba ewan ko, basta, wala yun dun ngayon."

"O Ano nanaman na harambugan yan?"

Old man Prokopus just came in, still with his Judogi on his back.

"O sir, kala ko may training kayo ngayon."

"O buhay ka pa palan. Ulay ko kinakan ka na kang aswang. WAHAHAHAHAHA"

"Sir, ipasok niyo nga ito sa Judo Club niyo. Baka mawala ang pagka duwag nito"

"Rey, kahit maging black belt pa ako sa Judo, wala pa rin akong magagawa laban sa isang multo"

"Ibig mo bang sabihin, dapat din maduwag si sir?"

"Naku hindi no.."

"Raymund, saumama ka saakin." Mr. Prokopus commanded. "Alisin natin yang sanib mo. WAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

LOCATION: CBSUA Judo Club Dojo. Located on top floor of the Computer Highschool.

Time: 4:30 PM

Two men knelt down facing each other. Both wearing a Judo uniform. The older guy was wearing an old black belt. The other wore a white.

They were meditating. Feeling each breath. Focusing on the flow of energy within their bodies as well as their surroundings.

They were alone.

"Raymund, may dapat kang maaraman."

"Sir ano yun?" Raymund was fearful of the answer he is about to hear. What if he is gay? And that he is now going to confess his love to him. NO NO NO. This cannot be! Mr. Prokopus is the toughest person he ever encountered. The only person aside from his lolo that he is confident will be strong enough to withstand ghost attacks.

What if he really is gay?

"Raymund..." The old man was solemn. It was so unlike him. The man who is always boisterous is now speaking in a serious tone. A very serious one.

Please don't be gay. As if grappling with you ain't hard enough. Please Please. The words repeated in Raymund's head like a broken record.

But which one is more scarier, the MPS ghost or the gay judo master.

Oh freak! This is not happening to me. Raymund was almost to the point of hysteria now. Should I make a run for it? But then he remembered that Mr. Prokopus was also the fastest guard in the university.

There is no escaping now.

"Raymund." The old man had eyes that can almost bore a hole through you. A gaze like fire. "Alam ko na may third eye ka"

"Huh?" Raymunds surprise was more for realizing that the old man was not gay rather than his third eye. Perhaps he didnt even hear it. He was so preoccupied with imagining what will happen to him during the grappling session that he failed to hear the important part.

"Nagi akong estudyante ni lolo mo."

Raymund's gaze of amazement was still rooted in Mr. Prokopus not being gay. What a relief. Raymund inhaled as much oxygen as he can. Well, you will too after holding your breath for more than two minutes.

"Siguro oras na para ipasa ko saimo ang kaaraman na ini. Ito ang kaalaman na tinatawag na SPIRIT BINDING technique.

"Spirit binding...?" Anong koneksiyon sa pagiging bakla ng spirit binding? Raymund should snap out of it already. For as he speak, the old man was already lunging towards him in blinding speed. I guess he just realized that this guy was not listening to what he is saying.

"DI BA SABI KO! PAG NAG SASALITA AKO, MAKINIG KAAA"

Too late now. Mr. Prokopus has already grabbed him by the lapel. The next move drove Raymund face down to the blue judo mats covering the whole room. As he felt the sting of the slam on his face, the old man was already sliding his wrists around his neck.

"bakit dumidilim ang paligid?.....

.....gabi na ba?"

He woke up a few hours later. Awake but still weak. He noticed that the place looked like a lawyers office. His back was resting on a soft sofa covered in a smooth leather like material. The cealing fan rotated lazily above him. The cold air from the A/C was directly blowing to him.

"Nelson."

"Yes, sir?"

"Are you sure this kid is ready?"

"Sir, alam ko na medyo lampa siya...."

A child's voice interupted him. No, an adult male's voice. Wait I know that voice. Raymund struggled to focus on the speaker.

"To be honest, I think it's too early for him to come to us"

"pero"

"Walang pero pero. Take this boy out of this place now"

"ano daw"

"He's coming to" the teenager approached him and touched his forehead with his finger. Immediately, Raymund went back to sleep.

"Who was that guy?"
