A/N: Thanks for everything, my next review here is Miguel's first day job as a Mayor while King was his assistant. Then, three archeologist visits the two Here is Chapter 2 of this story.

Chapter 2

The next day, at the Manila City Hall in the capital of the Philippines, It is Miguel's first day working as an acting mayor in Manila or also known as the Spanish Mayor. Then, King arrives in the scene to tell him.

"Miguel… we have visitors today." King added. "It seems that they were three men."

"Oh…Geez, you should be careful I'm still busy." Miguel said while doing paperwork for the first time. Since he is now wearing a white buttoned shirt that folded on his both sleeves and a brown leather pants excluded his coat. "This is my first time working in this kind of a politics."

"I think it's better if you study politics first…" King said jokily.

"Oh come on, jaguar man. I grew up into a rebel and a negative type of man. Don't you ever know about this…?" Miguel growled. "Besides, I'm not like your girlfriend's nationality. I'm a Spanish Rebelled man who breaks fights in everybody."

"Uh… I think it's good if you learn something. Manly man…" King said teasing him.

"What did you say?"

"Heheh, I knew that you would be angry if I said that." King said as he growls like a jaguar.

"This is hard as I thought. I realized that being a Mayor in this town is difficult for me." Miguel mumbles at the moment he scratched his head and the three visitors arrived knowing that they were three archeologists.

"Good morning, and you must be the new acting mayor in this capital. I'm Impressed." One of the archeologist said as he introduces. "My name is Rolando Escaleras and these are my three assistant. Mr. Donato Ibanez and Ms. Clarita Gomez or you can call her Clara. Good to meet you."

"Oh, good to meet you too." Miguel greeted in a calm way. "This is my first day job here as a mayor of this capital."

"That was great. We came in to see you because we were searching about a box that was called a jeweler's box." Rolando said as he explains. "This box inside was a pile of jewelries."

"a pile of jewelries, that was kind of a rich treasure." King reacted.

"It wasn't a kind of a box you know. This box was owned by a late jeweler named Simoun. But it was thrown by Father Florentino after his death." Rolando explained.

"Nah, it's just nonsense. You people want me to excavate this stupid box." Miguel said angrily as he stands up. "If you want to find this stupid box. Then, I'm leaving."

"Forgive me, about this Manly guy or should I say the mayor. He has a bad temper if he gets trouble from the visitors." King said as he follows Miguel as the three archeologist waits for him.

King soon found Miguel got toured with the vice mayor Spence Lozada as he becomes disappointed on him. After the tour, King arrives telling Miguel about this.

"Listen, Miguel. Don't you even notice of what you did. You made the visitors becomes irritated because of your rash behavior."

"What did you say? They came here just for that stupid box." Miguel growled.

"I know what they were saying. But, be careful on your manners. I think it's the only way to find the cure for the real mayor's illness." King said telling him.

"Do we think we can save this old man's sickness." Miguel said as he cool his head off.

"Why don't you cooperate them, Miguel. I think they will tell stories about that box."

Back at the mayor's office, Miguel returns as he tells Rolando the stories about the box.

"So you finally made up your mind." Rolando said as Miguel gazes on Clarita who had the look of his deceased sister. "Hello, are you okay. Mr. Rojo?"

"Agh… sorry about that. Anyway, I need to know about that box." Miguel said in a different manner.

"Do you know about the story of El Filibusterismo or what it means to say The Reign of Greed?"

"Uh, no exactly." Miguel answered.

"This story about a pain and sorrow and grief it was made by novelist and our Filipino hero, Jose Rizal. This story about a man named Simoun a disguised jeweler who is known as Juan Crisostomo Ibarra who takes revenge against the Spanish Filipino who misfortunes him."

"I heard that my girlfriend knows about this history." King said as he listens.

"Then, his revenge is to have apomegranate-styled lamp who will give to the newly-weds. The lamp will stay lighted for only 20 minutes before it flickers; if someone attempts to turn the wick, it will explode and kill everyone—important members of civil society and the Church hierarchy—inside the house. Shortly afterwards, he unmasked as a perpetrator and take refuge to Florentino's home. After his death by poisoning, Father Florentino threw the box away."

"So the box was inside were…" King said shocking.

"Yes, they were Simoun's remaining jewels. Father Florentino hopes that they were not used by the greedy to use this. Now, that we didn't expect that the box was still in this place taking by strange men."

"So this stupid box was been taken away." Miguel said becomes infuriated.

"Exactly, those men were known as El Filibusteros it's an organization led by a man named Juan Rafael Ibarra. He is a descendant from his predecessors in the novel." Donato explained.

"What! but that was a long time ago. Right." Miguel was shocked to hear what he said. "But, why would he do something like that."

"That's why we came in to find the box that Simoun's remaining jewels was been kept. So what do you say?" Rolando said makes decision to the Spanish Mayor.

"All right, I need to know who is that Juan Rafael is. If I find that man, I'll return that box from you." Miguel accepts as King replies.

"I'll go with you too, Miguel. You really need some back up if you were in trouble."

"Well, I guess you gradually accept this offer."

"Only one condition, We need to find the antidote to cure this illness that the real mayor gets struck." Miguel added.

"Well, all right then. We'll be meeting you at the ferry." Rolando said as the three archeologist leaves.

That alluring night, King stays at Kikay's house when this song starts to play.

I miss your love, since you've been gone
I find it hard to go on
The summer sky don't mean a thing
I thought I'd always be strong
I got a feeling inside
And it's making my heart cry, cause

I'm missing you
And it's making me blue, yeah
I'm missing you
But what can I do
Thousand miles away, from you

So here I am, and everything's new
I should be happy in love
But all I know, I look deep in my eyes
I've never felt so alone
And this feeling inside
It's making my heart cry, cause

I'm missing you
And it's making me blue, yeah
I'm missing you
But what can I do
Thousand miles away, from you

So what's the meaning of this
To be living like this
It ain't no fun at all
I wonder where are you now
(I wonder where are you now)

King watches his girlfriend while she is sleeping. After what they did. He knew that he is leaving for a trip telling her softly.

"Kikay, I'm going to explore new things with that Manly Spanish Mayor. About those stories you told me, I've learn a lot of things. Goodnight, Kikay. I'm gonna miss you."

Meanwhile, Miguel tells all the government officials that he has to save the real mayor in this town as Spence Lozada was proud to him that he is going to save it. At the apartment, he really thinks of Clarita as he fell asleep, blushing.

The next day, Miguel is ready as King arrives in time. Then, the three archeologist arrives and one of them was Clarita who drop her suitcase and he helps her.

"Here, is this yours?" Miguel said with a half smile on his face while looking at Clarita.

"Oh, thank you so much." Clarita smiled.

"It's ok. You should be careful on your stuff, heheh." Miguel said blushing as Clarita was called by the other archeologists.

"You seem to be love sick, aren't you, Miguel." King said as he replies to him in embarassment.

"Oh come on, she kind of a pretty to me."

And so, their trip is going to the former home of Father Florentino and they set off.
