Dexter walks with the first store he has seen, he asked for help, he told them he was lost in the forest in a few days, and he is now back. The people there look at him, started figuring out who is he, where came from and why he is dressed like that. Darkness has started pushing the light away and here it comes a stranger in their midst. He started calling the attention of the people around, because he has long hair, his mustache and beard are growing wild, and he has hunting gun with him. The commotion was noticed by the policemen in the nearby police outpost. They come close to know what is happening.
“What is that?” one of the policemen asked the people around.
They just pointed out to Dexter, and told to the policemen what he has told them.

He has been tortured physically a while ago, and now, among his neighbors, he is being tortured mentally. He does not know, what they want to happened with him? Is he an evil spirit?Every time, they look at him, or talk with him, he can sense, they are trying to figure out what is something wrong with him. They are trying to know, if he is really the Dexter, they come know befor
After all day ordeals both physical and mental, Dexter has able to have a peace of mind at home with his family. For most of us, family is our comfort zone, our hiding place, family is everything to us. Dexter simply wants to be with his family, after all those nasty things that have happened on his life. He wants to be with his mother and younger sister, he wants to see them in good health, in good living condition. That night they eat dinner together happily, they have spent long time in the dining table, because, most of the time, his mother asked him, to tell them, what really happened with him in the forest. They are still amazed, with his story, that a beautiful young lady, in the name of Shayne, save his life, and take good care of him, while he is still sick and weak. They want to hear, how she looks like, what she wears or what kind of dress she had and the house she used
Dexter come to the bed, that night, with smiles, on his lips. He is happy because he has able to talk to Shayne. His longing for Shayne, has subsided, he can communicate to her, even she is very far from him. He has loved a mystic woman, who have mystic characteristic, that is hard to believed with, in the modern times. Maybe it his destiny, to fall in love with her, no matter how their world and life style differs from each other. Love known no borders. Love is mysterious. Love is powerful. Dexter prepares himself to lay down in the bed, he is alone in his room, it is his old room. It is the place, he used to take a rest before, after his tiresome office work. It is good, his sister and his mother had kept it clean. His things are all intact in his room, his books, his guitar, his old cloths, and other personal things. When he opens his cabinet, he notices the old passbook still kept t
Dexter feels he is tired and sleepy after a long stressful day, he went to his room and prepare himself to rest. He first have look, with his mother, who is still watching the late television show. She is already a senior citizen, she open complain, she wakes up early in the morning, the reason, why she watches late shows so that, she will sleep late and would not wake up early. Joana is already on her room sleeping. It is only his mother, remains awake. “Ma, it is already very late, you should sleep by now” he said to her. “Ok, I will just finish this” she look at him, and then continue watching.Dexter lied down his tire body in the bed.

Joana who is sweeping the yard from the fallen dried leaves, she happened to see Dexter, who is with the birds, with the flock of birds, who are very close to Dexter, and giving him, some forest fruits. She was amazed and surprise, how he able to do such impossible feat, that no ordinary person can do.She come close to her brother, in a safe distance, not to scared away the birds, she observed him for a while, it is not an ordinary thing to see her brother has tamed wild birds, like an ordinary domesticated animal. When she can no longer hold on, she talks to Dexter. “How come you have tame that birds? They are all wild” “I don’t know, they just come to me”
When the woman, who performs the ceremony to cast the evil spirit had left, Dexter can still smell the scent of incense she had used, outside and inside their house Dexter notices that his mother is putting something wrap in a small plastic bag in the corners of their house, while saying some sort of incantation, possible taught by the woman who performs the rituals, a while ago. He did not contradict nor object to what his mother is doing. It is so hard for a son, to tell his mother who is older, than him, to stop, what she is doing, she will not listen. She will also, will be having a hard feeling toward him. It is far better, to just let her otherwise it will not bring any harm, to any one of them. It will only make them believe in something that is not logical or practical.After sometimes, Dexter has a talk with his mother.&n
