Abyss Of Silent Heroes - Chapter 148 Damians Testimonies
Outright breakfast, George brought Damian back to room number seven and asked him few questions. He’s just a boy so the lieutenant was very gentle to start.
” Damian, we have heard that your friends have prisoners that looks like them. How true is that?” George calmly asked while starting to help him clean the room and put a wet rug beside the little boy. At the same time he then removed some of the stuffs from the shelves and he modeled the process of tidying the entire place.
” Ah, yes papa. Hmm, sometimes I get confused of what they do when they don’t feed them right inside the wooden prison cells, but of course, maybe because they don’t talk with my Dad’s language. They’re weird.” Damian started to wipe the granite table while following what George had been doing. But George stood up beside him and verified what he had heard.
” Meaning, those prisoners were not one with your friends? So who are they? and can you guess who they were?”
” Hmm, I don’t know.” The boy answered while pouting.
” Ah, its alright Damian. So how was it in that cave where you were trapped? How was your life there had been?”
” Its a bit serious. I cried and shouted but my voice just echoed in its corners. I was really afraid inside the whole time I’ve been there. It’s scary.”
” Indeed, its terribly dark when its nighttime, I cried every night.”
” Hmm…so do you have plans of going back to your friends? and when?”
” I don’t know.” The boy answered.
” Okay, sorry for my questions but what’s your father’s name?”
The boy didn’t answer and yawned instead.
” Okay, so how does your cleaning performance look like? May I see.” George smilingly said.
When the lieutenant meticulously checked the boy’s performance he was amazed by how the boy did it all.
” You’re such a great boy! wow!” George smiled while carrying the boy to his wife and Magee put him properly on the chair.
” You’re too skinny, and just like Budekdek, you need to eat more of your meals three times a day. Hope you’re not picky.” Magee smirked.
Boom! boom!
Then the boy hugged George so tight while holding Magee’s hand while sobbing.
” Great heavens!” Suddenly, George hurriedly got out and used the balscope telescope at the built-in wall of the receiving area nearby the door going down. Out of worries, Magee opened the two-way secret door and followed her husband while carefully pulling Damian’s hand. Breathlessly she carried the boy on her arms and stood silently beside the lieutenant.
” Huh! they have explosives. They situate it all nearby the entrance, this shouldn’t be. The people below the ground might be disturbed too much. Mag, take care of the boy, I’ll inform the people to vacate to station one, and if it happens and if they could already reach there, we’ll divert the Japs’ attention to anything possible” He covered the wall as if nothing was kept there and Damian in a way smiled a little and was amazed by what he just saw.
‘ Wow! what is that Papa that you have kept again. Is it a weapon?”
He just splashed the boy’s hair with his hand and smirked.
” Be good around, I’ll go on travel for a while.
“George…keep safe and come back immediately.” She sheepishly whispered and since Damian faced to the opposite direction – towards the distant secret door so George kissed her quickly as lighting. But funnily Damian heard some noise from them so he turned his head right away and asked.
” What is it?”
” Ha? its nothing.”They both laughed while Magee slowly pushed him towards the door going down, still smiling, looking back at her and winking his domineering eyes she’d always missed.
In the tunnel, the soldiers and guerrillas were in a hurry to leave the underground, bound to station one, and so they did. Moreover, the exit escape was a bit delicate but its the only way they can protect themselves from the deafening sound of blasts.
” George, kindly slowly carry some supplies going up. Prioritize the charcoal. Hope you can take it all going up.
Interestingly, Magee continued to interview the boy where she had shockingly heard something from him.
“Hmm…my parents are Hakanori and Jonalyn but I don’t know about them right now. It was horrible. We were not supposed to be in that barracks but I was attracted to what my mother was into. She was busy doing things I didn’t understand and most of the days she’s hooked in barter trading, hmm it seems it looks like that way. They usually fight and yes, she’s always in trouble with Dad. But I loved them both, though, never seen them together, it’s forbidden.” He paused and looked to Magee.
Magee was adamant then reacted after a while.
” What do you mean? Ah…don’t worry, you may take a rest now and I guess you’re absolutely tired. Come on, I’ll bring you back to room number seven.”
” Mama, will I really stay here I until the war ends?”
They started to have their paces and he even led their walk.
” Hmm, yes, Damian, but you must not get hurt. Its just that this war have made us for the mean time, after this, you’ll be back to your family, okay?” Magee has finally opened the door number seven and carried him on his well-arranged bed.
” So I’m a prisoner Mama, right?” He smiled to Magee.
” Of course not, you aren’t a prisoner, always think of that. You are in fact, an angel and will become a great man someday – after the war. So we’ll be taking care of you, not as a prisoner but like a son.” Magee smiled at him.
” Aha. So I’m like a prince, haha.” Damian funnily uttered.
” Sort of, that’s why you have to grow faster and meet your family again, whoever they are, especially your mother. She’d terribly missed you these days, I know.” Magee said.
” I hope she’s still alive, I missed her so much.” Damian whispered then fell to sleep while holding. Magee’s hand.
