Deltha: Avenue of the Esoteric

Chapter 15

Loathe

Every word which came from Headmistress Sonnata was actually the truth. After an hour passed, President Death no longer opens his eyes. Kalmado itong natutulog habang nakahiga sa kwarto niya.

"Are you sure we can't do anything?" Umiling siya sa sinabi ko.

"We just have to wait. That's the best that we can do." Tahimik itong lumabas ng kwarto habang ako ay naiwang nakatitig sa kanya.

I can't help but to stare at his feature. He was like a sculpture, perfectly made by an astounding artist. Hindi ko napigilan ang sarili kong hawakan ang noo niya. Lubhang mainit ito kaya madalas ko siyang pinupunasan at nilalagyan ng basang bimpo sa noo sa pagbabaka sakaling makatulong. Pero ganun pa man, hindi pa rin siya naalimpungatan. Tama nga si Headmistress Sonnata na wala kaming ibang magagawa kung hindi ang maghintay.

We just have to wait until he's done self healing.

Buong gabi akong dinalaw ng matinding pag aalala para sa kanya at para sa buong high class na nandirito sa headquater.

Mabuti na lang at umayos na ang pakiramdam nilang lahat kinabukasan. They all look fine as if nothing happened to them. Since President Death can no longer join our mission for a while, I was tasked to handle the whole team. 

Hanggang ngayon, hindi pa rin humuhupa ang mga gulo sa bawat syudad. And I can see Coven's perseverance to come up with the drug which can cure the disease. Hindi man niya sabihin, alam kong nahihirapan at nape-pressure na rin siya sa mga nangyayari. 

He accidentally heard what Ashanti said. Halos isang linggo na rin siyang walang maayos na tulog and that's an enough proof that he's doing everything he can.

For countless times, everyone was gathered again for the new announcement. Hindi maiwasang mapayukom ang kamao ko nang makita ko 'yong mukha ni Dr. Sergei sa isang balita. Everyone rejoiced after he successfully made a drug that could stop the epidemic. 

"I knew it! There's something different on him from the very start!" ramdam ko ang inis sa boses ni Ashanti.

Based on what Garnet told me, they've been eyeing this scientist for a long time. Nakita ko na rin siya sa past ni Dr. Heinz. They graduated from the same university so I'm sure they knew each other.

Ramdam kong may alam din si President Death sa kanya na hindi niya magawang sabihin sa akin at 'yon ang bagay na kailangan naming alamin.

"Before the widespread of this disease, there was already a cure. He did it for the sake of popularity. He wants to be acknowledged." Phaedra concluded. Her statements are possible. Iyon din ang tumatakbo sa isipan ko. 

Back then, Dr. Heinz was the star of the stage. And now, I felt like everything will be repeated. Maybe, he also aims at what his colleague has achieved so he's doing these.

"He's working with daevas. It's possible that Night Caller and the others are working with him too."

Napatingin silang lahat sa akin nang sabihin ko 'yon.

"What do you think are their plans?"

Walang nakasagot sa tanong na 'yon ni Vlad. Maski ako ay walang maisip na kahit ano. If I've only remember what I saw in their past before, we could probably gathered a hint. 

Dr. Sergei was considered as a hero because of what he did. Maraming gumaling mula sa kumakalat na sakit pero marami rin ang apektado ng epidemya. Many lost their lives at wala ng iba pang paraan para maibalik ang lahat ng buhay na nawala.
