Lucifer

2

Today I was left alone at this penthouse. Morrigan as his daily duty to fetch the dead while Lucifer. I don't know.

All I did all day was to roamed around. Eat whatever is on the ref. Look at the big glass wall and mesmerized by the view.

I was named from the word heaven that has reversed and a second name came fron angel. Pagkatapos andito lang pala ako sa lungga ng mga demonyo.

I don't want to call them that, but I can't change the fact that they are really a demon. A devil.

"Don't try to escape cause you won't succeed."

That was Lucifer told me about when he left. And he was right. Anong magagawa ng isang tulad ko para kalabanin ang halimaw na siya.

I was lucky that he didn't hurt me or what. Everytime he was around I feel my legs are shaking in horror.

Recalling what I've read in a book. Satan or Lucifer was an angel before, he was here to accuse the sinner. So I think by now he was with Morrigan strolling the world.

As Morrigan said to me having the mist heart. Something in my life happened that my heart became mist. Maybe it's because of the accident.

But I was child back then when that incident happen, when I got drown from a lake.

The bruise on the back of my head healed already, but the bruise on my face laft a scar. I put some ointment on it that I saw on the cabinet in the restroom. I can't still remember where I get this bruises.

I can't fully trust them so I need to bring back my strength.

I wonder what will Lucifer, do to me having a heart of mist. Wala naman siyang makukuha sa akin. We're not rich though I think he doesn't care in money.

He already have all this. Big penthouse, they can go whatever they want and have what they want, except from the good things.

It was in the middle of the night when I woke up panting. That dream again, a memory rather, me drowning in lake.

I get of my bed and went downstairs. I can feel my throat getting dry. Nakapatay ang ilaw pero dahil sa liwanag sa labas ay malaya kong nakikita ang mga gamit. I made my way to the refrigerator.

Pagkatapos kong uminom ay lumapit ako sa glass wall. I look at the moon and mesmerized by it. Even the darkness that surrounds it, it still shine and give other some light.

"Humans," sa boses palang ay kilala ko na kong sino ang may ari non, hindi ako nag abalang harapin siya "Are weak."

I can feel his presence beside me. If I didn't know that he was a devil for sure, nagkandarapa na ako dito sa kilig.

"How can you say so?" Malakas ang loob kong sabihin, but deep inside my organs are shaking.

"They can't accept there fault, they want to hear lies just so they can't hurt anyone, but the truth, lies more hurts."

"You said it as if you didn't do some mistakes."

"I know my mistakes," he said it coldy.

The next morning I was hesitant to go downstairs. What I've said to Lucifer earlier that night, makes me guilty. For sure, wala lang iyon sakanya.

I have no choice but to go downstairs. Naabutan kong kumakain si Morrigan ng pizza, ulit. As always. Nilibot ko ang tingin at ni anino ni Lucifer ay hindi ko nakita.

"Pizza?" tinaas ni Morrigan ang kamay na may hawak na pizza.

Umupo ako sa kaharap niyang upuan at kumuha. Good thing I love pizza, kung siguro ay hindi baka nasususka na ako araw araw ng kain nito.

"Why do you have a name?"

Mukha naman siyang natigalan pero bumalik din sa dating malambot na expresyon nito. I remember, from the book I read, grim reaper doesn't have a name.

"I'm here on earth so I have to have a name, mahirap naman yatang tawagin ako ni Lucifer na "hoy" dahil wala akong pangalan."

Kumurte ng pabilog ang labi ko hindi dahil sa sinabi niya kundi dahil marunong palang itong magtagalog. Ofcourse it's needed, alangan namang pumunta siya ng china at mag english, paano nalang kapag hindi nakakaintindi ang patay.

Dahil binanggit nito si Lucifer ay napaisip naman ako sa sinabi niya kagabi.

We are both standing in front of a glass wall while looking at the moon. There are so much things that I want to know, that it can't make me sleep of thinking of it.

"Why did you betrayed him?"

Kahit hindi ko sinabi ang pangalan ng tinutukoy ko ay alam kong alam nito.

Tinignan ko siya ng hindi siya magsalita. Nagtama ang tingin namin, he look away first and turn his back.

Akala ko ay hindi na siya sasagot pero pagdating niya sa unang baitang ng hagdan ay tumingin siya ulit sa akin.

"We have the same reason."

That's what he said that made me think the whole night. Kanina sa banyo ay nakita ko pa ang eyebags ko.

What does he mean by we have the same reason. I can't remember betraying someone.

"Let's go."

Napaangat ako ng tingin ng marinig ang boses ni Lucifer. I look at him but he was looking at nowhere. Agad namang tumayo si Morrigan.

Akmang papasok na sila sa onyx ng magsalita ako ng ikinatigil nila. Morrigan looked at me confused, while Lucifer was waiting for my answer.

"C-Can I come?"

Morrigan looked shocked, namilog ang mga mata niya at sumulyap kay Lucifer.

I don't have some things to do here so it makes me bored. all day. I want to find some right time to ask Lucifer what he meant that night.

Hindi nagsalita si Lucifer at pumasok. Bumagsak ang balikat ko ng pati si Morrigan ay pumasok, akala ko tuluyan ng mawawala ang onyx pero andon padin ito.

Sumingaw si Morrigan galing loob.

"What are you waiting for?"

My lips creeps into a smile. Agad akong lumapit at pumasok doon. Agad namang nag iba ang lugar pagpasok ko.
