exaggerating then let me tell you a story you will change your mind after this

it all happened when I was a child I used to  play with my brothers and sister in the park  

nangyari lahat nung bata ako nakikipaglaro ako sa mga kapatid ko. at ate sa park

well it was not a park it was more like a cliff  

buti hindi park mas parang bangin ang

we used to go there because it was full of  sand we could play different things there

pinupuntahan namin dati dahil puno ng buhangin nakakapag laro kami ng iba't ibang bagay doon

we also played with our neighbors there were a lot  of children in the neighborhood we used to live  

din kami nakipaglaro sa mga kapitbahay namin maraming bata sa kapitbahay namin. dati ay nakatira

anyway we used to go to that Cliff every afternoon  

pa rin kami noon ay pumupunta

we went there at three or  four in the afternoon until

kami sa Cliff na iyon tuwing hapon ay pumupunta kami doon ng alas tres o kwatro ng hapon hanggang

five or six in the afternoon it was a regular day  I remember that day clearly my dad had arrived  

alas singko o alas sais ng hapon regular na araw na naaalala ko ang araw na iyon malinaw na dumating ang aking ama

from work with my brother he used to take  him to work because he is the oldest brother  

mula sa trabaho kasama ang aking kapatid na lalaki. dinadala siya noon sa trabaho dahil siya ang pinakamatandang kapatid

they used to arrive at 2 pm when my dad  arrived we my siblings and I asked him if  

na nakasanayan nilang dumating ng 2pm pagdating ng papa ko kami ng mga kapatid ko at tinanong ko siya kung

we could go to play to the cliff as usual he said  we could go but first we had to wash the dishes  

pwede ba kaming maglaro sa cliff gaya ng dati sabi niya pwede daw kami pero meron muna. maghugas ng plato

we didn't like washing the dishes  of course but we have to do it

hindi namin mahilig maghugas ng plato syempre pero kailangan naming gawin

after washing the dishes we were allowed to go to  play so I called my friends my neighbors in this  

pagkatapos maghugas ng pinggan pinayagan kaming maglaro kaya tinawagan ko ang mga kaibigan ko na kapitbahay ko kaso

case and we went to our favorite place to play  we were like seven or nine children more or less

pumunta kami sa paborito naming lugar para maglaro. para kaming pito o siyam na bata more or less

we arrived to that cliff it was more like a  small Mountain because it was a little big  

dumating kami sa bangin na yun mas parang maliit na Bundok kasi medyo malaki

we went there and started playing hide and seek  

pumunta kami dun at nagsimulang maglaro ng taguan at

my brother Jeremy and I went to hide behind  one of the mountains it was not very far

nagtago kami ni kuya Jeremy sa likod ng isa sa mga bundok. hindi naman masyadong malayo

when we were there waiting for  our friend to find us we saw a man  

nung nandoon na kami naghihintay na hanapin kami ng kaibigan namin may nakita kaming isang lalaki

he was just standing there  about 100 meters from us  

na nakatayo lang dun mga 100 meters from us

we thought he was one of our friend's  fathers so we didn't pay much attention to it

akala namin isa siya sa mga ama ng kaibigan namin kaya hindi na namin ito pinansin

minutes passed and no one came looking for  us we were starting to get bored in fact  

minutes . lumipas na at walang humahanap samin nagsisimula na kaming magsawa sa totoo lang

we torrent the city man who  was standing in the distance  

ni-torrent namin yung city man na nakatayo sa di kalayuan

but he wasn't there anymore we even  thought that we had imagined him

pero wala na siya akala namin na-imagine namin siya

and then he has maybe been a ghost so we got  scared and started running to the place where  

tapos baka naging multo siya. kaya natakot kami at nagsimulang tumakbo papunta sa lugar kung saan

my other friends were of course we lost the game  but we didn't care much about it we were shaking

nandoon yung iba ko pang mga kaibigan syempre natalo kami sa laro pero hindi na namin pinansin yun nanginginig na kami

with all our friends that we had seen a strange  man standing there and that he was looking at us  

sa lahat ng mga kaibigan namin na may nakita kaming kakaibang lalaki na nakatayo dun at siya yun. nakatingin sa amin

they started laughing they  said that we had imagined it  

nagtawanan na daw kami

but we knew we had seen him they didn't believe us

pero alam naming nakita namin siya hindi sila naniwala samin

we continued playing and  we didn't see the man again  

nagpatuloy kami sa paglalaro at hindi na namin nakita ulit yung lalaki

at about five in the afternoon we went  back home to have dinner we also told  

bandang alas singko ng hapon umuwi na kami para kumain. dinner we also told

my dad that story I mean that we saw  a man standing there and looking at us

my dad that story I mean may nakita kaming lalaki na nakatayo dun at nakatingin samin

and that suddenly he had disappeared but  my parents didn't believe me either they  

at bigla na lang nawala pero hindi rin ako pinaniwalaan ng parents ko

said I had just imagined that and  I started thinking that maybe yeah  

sabi nila na-imagine ko lang yun and I started thinking that maybe yeah

maybe they were right and I had imagined him

siguro tama sila at naimagine ko siya

so I just forgot about it the next  day we went to the same place as usual  

kaya nakalimutan ko na lang kinabukasan pumunta kami sa same place as usual

but this time we went with our bikes we  love to ride our bikes on that mountain  

but this time we went with our bikes we love to ride our bikes on that mountain

there was only one bike or My Brother and Me

there is only one bike or My Brother and Me

so we normally had to share it I  didn't have any problem with that  

so we normally have to share it wala naman akong problema dun

so we started playing hide and seek  again but this time with our bikes  

kaya nagsimula na naman kaming maglaro ng taguan but this time with our bikes

so we went to the same place there  back in the mountain we were hiding

so we went to the same place there back sa bundok na pinagtataguan namin

suddenly we saw that man again this time  he was closer to us like 50 minutes from us  

bigla. nakita ko ulit yung lalaking yun this time mas malapit na siya sa amin like 50 minutes from us

that's why I could see him more clearly  

kaya mas kitang-kita ko siyang

it was real I hadn't imagined him he  was a tall man with beard and long hair

totoo hindi ko akalain na matangkad siya na may balbas at mahaba ang buhok

we thought he was homeless because  his clothes were very dirty and we  

akala namin wala siyang tirahan dahil sa kanya. napakadumi ng damit at

could hardly see his face because  his hair was all over his face  

halos hindi na namin makita ang mukha niya dahil nakatakip ang buhok niya sa mukha niya

he was there standing and looking at  us again he looked very weird seriously

nandoon siya nakatayo at nakatingin ulit sa amin grabe ang weird niya

but he never came close to us so we  just stayed there right in our bike we  

pero never siyang lumapit samin kaya nanatili lang kami dun sa bike namin.

kept playing the whole afternoon as usual  then we realized it was very late for us  

Nagpatuloy sa paglalaro ang buong hapon gaya ng nakagawian pagkatapos ay napagtanto namin na sobrang gabi na para sa amin

we normally went back home  at five in the afternoon

karaniwan nang umuwi kami ng alas singko ng hapon

but this time it was half past six  

ngunit sa pagkakataong ito ay alas sais y medya

it was almost night we had been so entertained  playing that we had not realized the time  

na halos gabi na kami naaliw sa paglalaro kaya hindi namin namalayan ang time

I told my brother to ride his bike and that I  could run to home that way we could arrive earlier

I told my brother to ride his bike and that I can run to home that way we could arrive earlier

so I started running and left  my brother behind with the bike  

kaya tumakbo na ako at naiwan ko si kuya na may dalang bike

when I turned to see him there  was a man standing next to him  

nung lumingon ako sa kanya may nakatayong lalaki sa tabi niya

that was the same man we had seen before  this time he was very close to my brother

yun yung lalaking nakita namin before this time malapit na malapit siya sa kapatid ko

he was next to him I didn't know what was  happening but suddenly my brother started crying  

nasa tabi niya ako. hindi ko alam kung anong nangyayari pero biglang umiyak si kuya

that man had taken his bike so  I ran back to him to help him  

na kinuha nung lalaki yung bike niya kaya tumakbo ako pabalik sa kanya para tulungan siya

I couldn't let that man  steal our bike of course not

hindi ko hahayaan yung lalaking yun na nakawin yung bike namin syempre hindi

when I got there I told him that was  our bike and that he couldn't take  

pagdating ko sinabi ko sa kanya yun. yung bike namin at hindi niya kaya

it or we will call our parents he said  he didn't care he took the bike anyway  

o tatawagan namin parents namin wala daw siyang pakialam kinuha niya yung bike anyway

we started screaming calling  our friends so they can help us

nagsimula na kaming magsisigawan tumawag sa mga kaibigan namin para matulungan nila kami

then the man took the bike  and also took my brother's  

tapos kinuha nung lalaki yung bike at kinuha din yung sa kapatid ko.

arm he said he had a place full  of cookies and candies for us  

braso niya may lugar daw siya na puno ng cookies at candies para sa amin

with more bikes new bikes and that he wanted  us to go with him of course we didn't go

with more bikes new bikes and that he wanted us to go with him syempre hindi kami pumunta

I wanted to run to my house but he was  holding my brother's arm I was so scared  

Gusto kong tumakbo papunta sa bahay ko pero hawak niya yung braso ng kapatid ko. sa sobrang takot

I didn't know what to do I just took a  stone and threw it to the guy the rock  

hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko kumuha na lang ako ng bato at binato sa lalaki

fell on his head and he started  bleeding he left my brother's arm

nahulog ang bato sa ulo niya at nagsimula siyang dumugo umalis siya sa braso ng kapatid ko

I took my brother and ran to  a place my other friends were  

kinuha ko si kuya at tumakbo papunta sa isang lugar na kinaroroonan ng iba ko pang kaibigan.

I didn't look back at all I  just wanted to see my friends  

Hindi na ako lumingon sa likod gusto ko lang makita ang mga kaibigan ko

I was very very scared suddenly we found  our friends and we told him about the man

takot na takot ako ng biglang nahanap namin yung mga kaibigan namin at kinuwento namin sa kanya yung lalaki

this time the man was there standing and bleeding  so everyone believed us this time they started  

this time andun yung lalaki na nakatayo at duguan kaya lahat naniwala samin this time nagsimula na silang

throwing more rocks to him so he left running  we took our bike and went back home that day

magbato . mas maraming bato sa kanya kaya umalis siya sa pagtakbo kinuha namin ang aming bike at bumalik sa bahay noong araw na iyon

I had to explain my father what had happened this  

kailangan kong ipaliwanag sa aking ama kung ano ang nangyari sa

time my friends were there so he  believed us and my brother too  

oras na ito ang aking mga kaibigan ay nandoon kaya naniwala siya sa amin at sa aking kapatid na lalaki

we never went to that place to play again and  probably it happened because it was very late

ay hindi na kami pumunta sa lugar na iyon upang maglaro muli at malamang na nangyari ito dahil sobrang gabi

now do you understand why I get mad at you for  arriving late also with my brother and my friends  

na ngayon naiintindihan mo ba kung bakit ako nagagalit sayo dahil late ka dumating kasama ang kapatid ko at mga kaibigan ko

playing but there are always bad people everywhere  we always have to be careful son I'm just worried

na naglalaro pero laging may masasamang tao kahit saan kailangan lagi tayong mag ingat anak nag aalala lang ako

you're right Dad I'm really sorry  I will never stay out so late again

sayo . 'Tama Tatay I'm really sorry I will never stay out so late again

yes I hope so now go to take a  shower because we will have dinner  

yes I hope so now go to take shower dahil kakain tayo ng hapunan
