ANSEL'S POV

   I don't really believe in magic, spells and any supernatural beings or existence and unbelievable things. I don't believe in it because I think it's really a stupid and explainable thing. Not until I really experienced it in real life. I don't know what will happen and I still can't understand it, the important thing is...

How can I escape in this ancient world?

I'm just a normal handsome looking employee of a company. Living my simple daily life as a simple person. My job is to sit in the front of a computer and do a lot of documents everyday. My boss is quite ill tempered but he's great and also handsome looking Guy, the girls on our department and other departments surely wants to date and be with him, ahhh I also want to... work... yes I want to work no love life just finish my jobs and come back home, yes yes that's right!

    " Mr. Antonio, are the documents done? I've been waiting for it, please hand it to me " boss approached me to get the documents that i've been working.

" Ahmm , it's still not done yet sir, please give me some more time, i'll hand it to you later hehe " i replied to him and smiled, he stares at me with his slit eyed eyes, his left brow raised up as if he's irritated and being furious, he clicked his tongue and walked away. " You better hand it to me by 11:00 or else you know what will happen" he said while standing and opening the door to his office. " Yes sir" i replied at him while smiling uneasily.

I proceeded typing at the computer and finishing the documents before 11:00 so that I could hand it to the boss later. The others are done and will continue later so they headed at the cafeteria to eat lunch and to have a break.

A few minutes later

Ansel sighed " It's almost time, good thing that it's done. I should hand it to him "  he walks directly to his boss's door and he knocked. " come in " his boss replied from inside of the room. He comes inside the room and handed the documents to his boss, the boss checked the documents while ansel is still standing in front of him.

" Is there any problem about the documents, sir? Please tell me so I could repeat it again " ansel stated while worriedly looking at his boss. His boss stared at him and  he was suprised.

" Ahmm, what is it, sir? " he asked, his boss stands up and walks towards him.

" Nothing, the documents were alright " he replied while walking forward to ansel, ansel walks backward until he reached the wall. " T- then, w-what is the problem

s-sir " he stuttered, " Ansel, your pretty and I like you " his boss said while his face is moving closer to ansel's face. They looked at each other eyes, ansel blushed and he closed his eyes ready to take the kiss that his boss will give, feeling the warmth of the embrace and... and...

" Huh? What is it? I can't see and why do i feel like I'm wet? Wait, it's so bright...  hahhh " he said on his mind. " Ahhh Hello? Are you awake? " someone asked. " Who is it? Who's talking? W- who are you? and why do i feel like i'm soaked? " he asked on his mind. He slightly opened his eyes and raised his hands, he stared at his hands for a while and put it on his face. He didn't even realize that there's a handsome guy beside him. " Ahhh you okay? " someone asked besides him, he turned his head and looked at the guy, he blinked twice and rubbed his eyes, he gets closer to the guys face and looked at him with curiosity.

He moved backwards a bit and distanced his self from the guy. " W- who are you?

W- where am I? Where is this place? " he asked stuttering while still looking at the handsome guy who is also wet. " Hah... I guess your okay now. " the guy replied then stands up. Ansel looked around, he isn't familiar with the place and the only thing that he remembered is that his boss was going to kiss him  but, then he woked up.

" Huh?! " his eyes narrowed. "No way! He was just going to kiss me, that's a dream? Is this a dream too? No!!!" he asked in his mind, he started to pinch his face, he also slapped his cheeks til it gets red, he's definitely hurting his self. He still can't believe in what kind of situation he's at.

" What an idiot" the guy whispered while looking at ansel.

" Where am I and who are you? " he asked to the guy, the guy looked at him. " You don't know? " he replied, ansel just nods at him and looked innocently, exploring his eyesight on the backgrounds.

" Looks like he really doesn't know, he looks like a pretty idiot and he wears different kind of clothes, he's not from here " he speaks to his mind. 

" Panay, you are in panay" he replied to ansel while he sits down under the narra tree on the side of the river.

" Panay? " ansel asked again. The guy closed his eyes and tries to relax " He really is an idiot, is he serious about this? " he speaks again on his mind.

"On the Western part of the philippines. Panay, Aklan" he replied, " Ahh seriously? P-panay? W - western part? A- aklan? We are not in the Manila, the capital? Huhh? " ansel asked with his totally shocked face.

" You are not from here? " he asked while looking at him.

" I- i lived in Manila, with tall buildings, small amount of trees, vehicles and more! An urban city and the capital of the Philippines... B-but... but why the h*ll am I here?!! How did I come here?!!! Ahhh I don't know what's happening! " he stated furiously, he complained about what's happening, he's curious and asked about anything and he don't know what to do.

A few minutes later the blabbering finally calmed down, the guy seemed to be irritated, he stared at ansel who's looking so sad and worried, staring at the rushing rivers, he's soaked wet because the guy said that he was drowned and was saved by him, ansel started to sneeze and coughs, he also doesn't look good and he's face are all red.

" Seriously this idiot? How come that you are so easy to get sick, are you prone to all illness too? " he speaks to his mind again, with his annoyed looks on his face,the guy stands up " Let's Go " he said, ansel curiously looked at him with his teary eyes. " Huh? Where? " he asked while he sniffs

" My house " he replied, ansel also stands up and followed him. They walked past through the forest, they followed a path and at the end of it a big old fashioned house appeared.

" Wow it's big, I never seen a house like this, houses on our world are all modernized and there's also a tall buildings, I don't know if this kind of houses still existed on ours " ansel said, he sneezed again, sniffing and coughing, his situation worsened . The guy is annoyed and also worried about him. " He really can't stop his mouth from talking, idiot" he stated in his mind.

  " Let's come inside, you're already sick " he said and walked. " I'm fine hehe  i'm not sick, my head is just aching " he replied while rubbing his nose and he can't even open his eyes well because of the tears. " Hah, really " he asked irritatedly. " This idiot tch, he really irritates me " he speaks to his mind.  " Yeah, I'm O... " ansel wants to say that he's okay but he suddenly loss his conciousness. The guy catched him and carries him inside to treat him.

" For the first time that we've met, all you did was to gave me a bunch of headaches and irritations, idiot " the guy stated on his mind while staring at ansel who is sleeping. He stopped staring at him, he puts his attention at the book that is laying on the table besides the window, he glanced at ansel then he walked directly at the table, he sits and he began to turn the  pages, he grabbed his feather pen and dipped it on the ink, then he started writing on those empty pages of the book. He glanced at ansel again, he turned his head and gazed at the skies, he smiled. 

Is this really true?

ALAIN'S POV

Sitting at the library, Alain can't help

putting his attention to ansel, he can't focus on what he's doing.

" Haaa, I let a stranger sleep at my home without knowing his backgrounds. I just can't leave him there and now he's sick. He's totally an idiot " he stated while checking the books, he opened the book and turned the pages, he repeated it many times with the other books that's been spread on the long table , holding a thick  book with a red cover, he turned the pages then he reads some of the words but he keeps on repeating it, he can't focus reading the whole.

" Tsk, this is annoying, I should go and check how's that idiot doing, maybe he's awake " he stated as he stands up and he walked away.

He opened the door and saw ansel laying on the bed, the ray of the warm sun outside ranging in the windows and reflected on the wooden floors, the gentle lights of it are embracing ansel's pretty face, as if he's an angel sleeping so soundly on a bed, he looks really comfortable with it and he's even smiling. His heart raced by that moment.

" I think you're having a good dream, that's why you're smiling, right? "  he whispered standing on the side of the bed. He layed his palm on ansel's face checking if his fever is gone.

" The temperature lowered, you'll be better soon " he stated, he stared at him and takes away his hand. Ansel slowly opened his eyes and looked at him.

" I- i'm still here? " he asked as he gets up and sits. Alain nods a little. " You are at my house, you suddenly lose your conciousness and you have a fever. I'm also the one who carried and changed your clothes. Now that you're fine, let's go downstairs and let's eat. " he replied then he turned and begins to take a step.

" Wait"  Ansel said with a low voice , he grabbed the end of alain's clothes and looked at him. Alain turned his head, takes off the hand of ansel grabbing his clothes, he glared at him so ansel hurriedly lets it go, " What? " he said irritatedly.

" Ahhmm, sorry for troubling you and sorry about my behavior too, it's just that I was shocked when I woke up and... i don't know where I was. I don't even know how did I get here or the date today. So, thank you for saving me and answering my stupid questions. " Ansel explained while avoiding alain's gaze. "  July 4, 1982, that's the date today and when you talk to someone be sure to look at them in the eyes, you're being rude, are you really sincere about that?  " he coldly replied and asked. Ansel was suprised by the reply he get, he can't believe what alain said, about the date, facts and question that he replied.

He gently looked at him while trying to smile and thinking about what alain asked.

" I'm sorry for all the troubles and thank you , i didn't expect for a complete stranger to help me, you are like a savior for me. " he replied looking sincerely at alain and smiled. " Hmm Ok. " alain coldly replied. " Ahmm may I know who you are? " ansel asked. " Alain, my name is Alain. You? What's your name? " he asked.

" Ahh I'm Ansel , nice to meet you alain, thanks a lot " he replied while observing alain's face. They looked at each other and alain avoids ansel's gaze. " Hmmm" he replied while nodding. " Let's go downstairs now " he added.

" Ansel. What a pretty name, it means a person worthy of praise, but you're an idiot" he stated on his mind.

Both of them proceeds downstairs at the dining place. Ansel was amazed about the things he's been seeing. He can't still believe that he is in this kind of world. He feels that he travelled back in time.

They're both sitting  and facing each other uncomfortably, with the added silence gives it a more of an awkward situation. They looked at each other, they both looked away and avoids catching eye contact due to uneasiness. The silence broked, one of them finally speaked.

" Are you not hungry? " alain coldly asked. " A- ahhh it's just ... " he stopped and looked at him. " Don't worry, I don't plan on poisoning you. Don't think about something else and eat your fill " alain stated while slicing the meat on his plate. 

" A- ahh, I think  you are a good person so i didn't think about that. It's just that i'm so thankful to you for all the help, you're a lifesaver, but you don't have to help me fartherly, i've been a disturbance and an annoyance to you, so... so let me do something in exchange for all of your help . " he replied while looking at the plates with food and then he glanced at alain.

Alain glanced at him , ansel is waiting for his reply. He chews his food and swallowed it, he grabbed a glass of water then he drinks it. He stared at ansel who's been  looking prettilly staring in the table space. " Let's talk about that later, go on and eat your food, don't just stare in space there " alain replied, then he continued to eat. Ansel nods and smiled as he agreed to what alain said. Then, he started to eat along with alain. While he's eating so deliciously alain glanced at him and smiled so secretly.

" Haha, how funny you are while eating, looks like you haven't eaten something this delicious before. " he stated on his mind.

" Is is that really delicious? " alain asked while staring at him, Ansel looked at him and smiled widely. " Yes it is really delicious, food never really tasted good for me when I was on our world. I eat instant or packed foods, i don't have the time to cook because i've been busy with works and also i'm not really good at it too. Thank you for letting me taste this. " he gladly stated while smiling so brightly at alain. Alain looked stunned staring at him. " Oh... do you want me to teach you? " he asked, ansel was a bit suprised and he himself was also suprised about what his self asked. " Ha? really? did you cook this?

a- and you'll teach me? " ansel asked curiously, while his face gets close to alains face. Alain gulped while looking at him.

" Cute... wait what? " he said on his mind.

" Why did I say that? It spilled on my mouth unexpectedly, that's not what i'm thinking... how can i let this happen? " he questions his self on his mind.

" Hey! Are you okay? Are you really serious about teaching me? I wanna learn from you, don't worry i'll do anything you asked me to do in exchange hehe " he stated while smiling, he gets back to his seat and waited for alain to answer his questions.

" Okay, I can't refuse him, he's totally annoying, he's not cute at all. " he stated om his mind while his eyes closed, he took a deep breath and looked at him.

" Ok, if you really want to learn then i got nothing to do with that. Just listen to what i say " he replied, trying to focus on eating.

" Okay! " ansel said happilly.

Alain sighed.
