Abyss Of Silent Heroes - Chapter 78 Baldur's Message to Gabok

Gifted with grace of food and solidary time from their brothers who tried hard to support their relationship’s ups and down, all’s went well – finally. In sync, they also have enjoyed the breakfast together.

” Outright our breakfast, you may remove everything you wear. I’ll include them in the laundry. She seriously said.

” What?” He was choked and breathless.

” Yes, after you take a bath. I’ll do the laundry wash. Its been a while that you’re doing it so its my turn.”

” Ah, I see, but no, I’ll do it. You don’t need to rush in doing heavy chores. I could still do it.” He was at least clarified after being confused.

” She’s funny somehow.” He thought while fixing the dishes and waited for her to sit down for the wound dressing.

” I can do it now, I’m a bit healthy unlike the previous days I shrunk futile.” Then she noticed that he quickly stood up and carry his handgun again.

” Okay, I’ll check my angel fruit trees now and check Baldur’s message towards Gabok.” He got out but suddenly returned and kissed her forehead while pressed both of her shoulders.

” I’ll finally go.” He smiled and waved his hand at her.

While on his way down he decided to try looking if what’s at the end of the tunnel.

” Wow! so deceiving tunnel design. Anyone could really believe that the purpose of the tunnel is really that small cave in the middle and not that granite door and passage heading up to the granite house. Dads prepared an emergency plan, just in case. They’re really good soldiers.” He thought.

After standing up too close to the small cave, he backed off and proceeded to the wooden house. There he sought the brothers so worried as Albrecht hurriedly approached him.

” George, I’m really sorry for my wrong timing in multitude, brother.”

” Haha, no worries. I’d like to even thank you for emerging that way, she smiled uncontrollably while teary eyed. Then everything’s fine now. In fact, we shared the breadnut and breadfruit ovet some mug of coffee as a form of celebration. So its okay.” George assured him.

” That sounds better.” Baldur commented.

” Ah Baldur, now’s your travel going there? but its daytime.” George anxiously asked.

” Yeah. Amado and Henry will accompany me. Should you add up anything? just tell me.”

Then they talked seriously at the kitchen as Baldur showed to him the message they’ll roll and tie on a rope that will be received on the other side of the river bank. Its a log reaching across the river and has been the secret tool of the guerillas especially in relaying secret messages.

” Okay brother, be extra careful. I’ll send extra backup to tail you. The hummingbird Sibaya, but only Narciso can read his signal, haha.” Baldur laughed.

” So why not bring Narciso.”

” Its alright, I’ll keep in touch with Narciso for this and we’ll probably depart at around 1100 hrs.” Baldur informed George.

He winked an eye and took a bolo from the kitchen. The brothers smiled as he left running.

” Blessed be that man for our sister.” Baldur whispered to Albrecht.

” Yeah.” Albrecht whispered too

While on his angel fruit trees, Fr. Matias approached him.

” Good day Fr. Matias!”

” You must be very inspired each day. Where’s your wife?”

” Ah, she’s in the nearby station two, its also safe there. I just visit her twice or thrice a week.” He really have to protect his wife’s whereabouts, even the priest wouldn’t know.

” I see. By the way, put a chicken dung around your fruit trees. I’m not really sure, but try it.” Ft. Matias smiled.

It was evidently inspiring so he went to see one of the soldier’s place who owned a chicken and took its dung. The amount of dung he collated was enough for two angel fruit trees only, at least. After which, he saw how the daisy flowers bloomed and he just carefully cut the white colored one. He passed by at the wooden house and talked to Baldur again that he eventually convinced Sibaya and Narciso to the mission where Sibaya will tail them to send bird sounds and signals. Subsequently, they were ready as George waited for them to depart before he returned to the granite house. After the send-off, George went back to the granite house, bringing some food that Albrecht had added.

At the the doorway, he relaxed for a while then pushed the granite door. She was already on bed and reading the journal.

She excitingly smiled while looking at him approaching and put the journal to rest.

” Its already past 1300 hrs, have you eaten your lunch? the breadfruit’s better for you.”

” No, I haven’t eaten yet, I literally waited for you.”

” Wow. I’m flattered by that compliment. By the way, how’s your wound, is it still painful, itchy whatever.”

” Its itchy.”

” Good, its doing great.” Then he went to the bathroom and took a bath. He smiled remembering her smiles while he arrived.

” She’s…more than beautiful and awesomely beautiful. Her eyes looks like sparkling. Its softening my heart each day with love, there’s too much in it. God, grant me pity!” He thought.

Exactly refreshed and he went out rubbing his head. ” Mag, try opening the food that Albrecht wrapped with banana leaves. It smells interestingly.”

” Yes, its “ginataang puso ng Saging,” Have you tried this before? It has nothing with it aside from the coconut milk and lemon grass.” She smiled.

When he sat down and tasted it, ” hmm, no, I think I’ve tasted this before, its somewhere. The taste is heavenly, delicious! Can you estimate of the number of coconut used on this?” He asked.

“If he cooked for only one “puso ng saging” he must have grated two coconuts. See! its already oily, right? this means it has enough coconut milk and was thoroughly cooked.”Magee kept smiling at him.

” Wow! its something I need to learn to cook since you love it. We’ll be staying here and we have so many bananas.
