Who's the Killer?

Chapter Twenty-One

DEVIL

Nhalyn was about to open the door of her car when a hand halted her. Agad niya itong sinalubong ng matalim na tingin. She then gritted her teeth before pulling her hand away from that person.

"I-I'm sorry. Sorry for what Joville had said to you earlier. It wasn't right for him to say those things. H-He was just—

"Oh, save it. I don't need it anyway. Saka pwede ba? Don't use that fake angelic personality you have when you're facing me. Hindi yan uubra sakin, Angel Ann."

Angel Ann's eyes then went round na para bang nagulat pa ito sa sinabi ni Nhalyn. "W-What are you talking about, Nhal?"

Imbes na pumasok sa loob ng sasakyan, Nhalyn chose to closed it before stepping one foot near Angel Ann who suddenly flinch in fear because of her sudden action.

"Tingin mo maloloko mo din ako kagaya nila? You may fool everyone's eyes, but not mine. Kilala na kita, Gel. I already saw those hiding horns in your head, hiding in this angelic form you keep on showing everyone. Baka nakakalimutan mo, nanggaling na'ko sa empyero kaya alam ko kung sino ang mga totoong anghel sa mga demonyo."

She was about to turn her back on her when she heard her talk again. Nhalyn's eyes immediately blazed in so much anger after hearing what she said. She then faced her while greeting her teeth.

"Diba? Kaya ka galit na galit sakin dahil kay Tita? You think that I stole her from you which in fact I didn't."

Hindi na napigilan ni Nhalyn ang bugso ng damdamin at basta-basta niya nalang tinulak ng malakas si Angel Ann na agad bumagsak sa semento. Nasugatan pa ang mga kamay nito dahil sa pagkakabagsak.

"You fucking btch! You think I gave a damn if you have her?! Eh wala namang kwentang ina yun! Walang manghihinayang kung makuha man siya ng iba sakin! Matagal ko na siyang pinamigay at kinalimutan bilang ina ko! I already embended in my mind that my mother's dead already! Wala na akong ina, okay?! Matagal ko na siyang binaon kaya wag kang magsalita na parang yun ang totong dahilan kung bakit galit na galit ako sayo! Of all people ikaw ang mas nakakaalam kung saan nagmula ang galit ko! Di ko makakalimutan ang ginawa mo sakin! You fucking demon! Daughter of the Devil!"

She's shaking already in too much anger. Bago pa man niya malapitan si Angel Ann ay bigla nalang sumulpot si Hero at pumagitna sa kanila. His arms then immediately circled on her waist, preventing her from stepping forward.

"Calm down, Nhalyn. Deep breath, hon. Deep breath."

But Nhalyn's very persistant to hit Angel Ann that she kept on pushing Hero away from her. Hinahampas na niya ito kung saan-saan at kahit pagsalag man lang sa mga hampas ng dalaga ay di ginawa ng binata. He just let her. It's better to let go of the anger you're feeling inside than keeping it. You might suddenly explode without knowing.

Pero ng makaramdam na si Hero ng pananakit sa katawan dahil na rin sa mga hampas at kalmot ni Nhalyn ay nagdesisyon na siyang patulugin muna ito. Ayaw niya man pero ito lang ang alam niyang gawin para tumigil ang dalaga. And beside, she's really shaking in too much rage that made him scared. She might do something she'll regret.

With the use of his left hand, he trapped both of her arms on his hand before his right hand immediately went at the back of her neck and maneuver it to hit the nerve that can lose her conscious. Nang mawalan na ng malay si Nhalyn ay agad itong pinangko ni Hero sa dalawang kamay niya. He then sighed after what happened.

Nilingon niya si Angel Ann na ngayon ay nasa cemento pa rin. Gusto sana niya itong tulungang makatayo pero dala-dala na niya sa mga kamay si Nhalyn na walang malay.
