My fever: Is it because of dwarves?
As part of the continuation of my adventure back then. There are a lot of superstitious our elders, parents and grandparents told us. If you haven't read my previous article it is entitled My crazy little adventure night. Just click this article and you will know how crazy to go home at night in farm without streetlights and the only source of light in the vast darkness in farm field is the moonlight and flashlight if you have one.
My grandparents especially my grandpa used to share about his experiences in his childhood. He lived in the farm for several decades with his parents which is my grand grandparents. Anyway, as what I have said in my previous article above. There is a big mango tree standing alone and it was in the path before you turn in our street. Meaning, you wil have to pass through it before you reach our home.
My lolo used to say that mango tree has elemental beings living there. He said that he saw a tikbalang (half human and half horse). Tikbalang is myth creature which has living in that tree for so long. It's way older than my lolo because befoe he was born, that tree is already existing. Alright, aside from tikbalang, he saw the creature what you called kapre. Kapre is a creature with strong body odor and it always smoke.
HI know it's very unbelievable because who believed in this kind of creature nowadays right? My fellow Filipinos knew these creatures very well. Whenever, I walked by and passing through that mango tree. I cannot help myself but to look above. Why? It is because I was hoping that someday I may see them as well. But my fantasy about these creatures never ends.
One afternoon around 4:30 o'clock, I was walking with my parents on the way our home, then suddenly I want to pee. I told my mother that I will pee just in the corner and they should go. I am not afraid because I know the sun is still up and my parents are on sight. I release what should I release in there. After that, I ran to my parents because I don't want to be left behind. There are several cows and those cows can reach the path we are walking. Although I am used to see those cows everyday, but when they try to run towards me. I will run as fast as I can until they cannot reach me.
Two days later, it was Saturday and I felt weird in my body. I was cold, but it was summer so it's definitely hot. My body is feeling cold although there's no air to touch my skin. It was before we eat our dinner that I am already shaking because I cannot hold on to it anymore. They are so curious about what's happening to me because my father and grandpa are topless. Why? Because it's hot right. So why I am feeling cold?
After I finished eating my meal, I go inside our house and lay on my bed. My mother covered me with jacket and assisted me to wipe my body using towel with cold water. It is to ease my body temperature because it was rising so fast. Several minutes had past when my mother stopped wiping me. She checked my body temperature with thermometer and it went down a bit.
I felt okay that night. Actually, I slept really well. In the morning, my fever was gone and I'm not feeling cold as well. So, I thought I was really okay and fine. However, when it reached before our dinner. I started to feeling cold again. My body is shaking and I felt like there's a wind inside my jacket. I was covered with jogging pants and jacket so there's no way an air will come from outside. That's when my lola asked me if I did something wrong in the mango tree.
I said no. I didn't do anything wrong. In fact, I am avoiding it as much as possible. However, I remembered that I peed near the tree. So, I immediately tell it to my lola and she quickly prepared some incense to burn. If am not wrong, she used some charcoal, incese, and dried palm tree. When it started to burn, there's a lot of smoke coming out from it and my lola placed me in the middle of it. She said that it was to protect me from the curse of the dwarfs living there. Also, we have to give an offering as a sign of apology.
When the sunrise comes, we went to the tree and left the chicken there. We also add some fruits like banana and guava. You know what, you may not believe me but when it reaches the time before our dinner. I didn't feeling cold anymore. I didn't drink any medicine or medicinal herbs back then. Meaning, I did really might angry the dwarves because I peed in their territory.
As crazy as it sounds like to those people who lived in the city, but it happened to me in real life, several times. I didn't believed in some creatures, but when it comes to dwarves. Oh gosh, I will not hesitate that to say yes. I believe to those little creatures. They are not fantasy. They are existing. And they might living around the corner hunting you next.
