🕊️: His Darkest Obsession

i.

CHAPTER ONE

"Lock her to the cabinet and don't give her food for tonight, let alone a water to drink!" galit na sigaw ng kanilang Ina matapos siyang hampasin sa likuran.

Gritting her teeth to endure the pain, she just lowered her head and didn't utter a single word.

"Mom, I can do it. Don't hurt her anymore." kaagad na singit ni Hinata nang aakma na sana ulit papaluin si Hikari.

Hearing his voice, their mother's anger instantly dissipated and she smile gently at Hinata.

"Alright. Then go to the room and lock her. We'll eat dinner afterwards."

He nod. "Yes."

He quickly pulled Hikari and they went upstairs. Gustuhin man niyang sa cabinet ng kwarto niya ito papapasukin para malabas niya mamayang hatinggabi ay hindi niya magawa. Knowing their parents, if he do that, they'll just punish her even more.

"K-Kuya, ayoko sa kanila Mama. Doon na lang ako sa kwarto mo." naiiyak na ani ni Hikari nang makarating sila sa kwarto ng mga magulang. Napabuntong hininga siya.

"Ari, I'm sorry. But they'll punish you even more."

"Pero Kuya . . . ." tuluyan na itong umiyak at mahigpit siyang hinawakan sa braso. He sigh again and open the large cabinet.

Seeing how dark it is, he frown in annoyance. Maraming nakasaksak na damit doon at mas lalong mahihirapang huminga si Hikari dahil sa liit ng espasyo.

"Kuya!" halatang mas lalo itong natakot sa nakita at gaya din niya, he's not comfortable seeing this too.

Kinuha niya ang maliit na flashlight sa bulsa at binigay niya ito sa kapatid.

"Take this. But don't let the light goes outside, okay? Kukunin nila Mama'to kapag nakita."

"Kuya—"

"Ari," he pause, "you knew we don't have a choice. Don't worry, just endure this for few hours. Gagawa ako ng paraan. Kuya won't let you suffer alone."

Wala naman itong nagawa kalaunan at pumasok na rin sa loob.

"You okay there?"

Kimi itong tumango at sumiksik sa gilid.

"Okay. Stay there quietly. Just sleep so you won't be afraid."

Pagkatapos nitong masarhan ay wala nang magawa si Hiraki kundi ang pumikit na lamang.

She was scared of being alone. She often hears from her brother that there are monsters in the dark that's why she always sneaks on his room every night to sleep.

Kaya ngayong mag-isa lamang siya ay hindi niya maiwasang matakot ng matindi.

Katahimikan ang lumukob at hindi na niya alam kung anong oras na.

Basta ay ilang sandali pa ay narinig niya ang pagbukas ng pintuan sa labas. Nang marinig iyon ay kaagad lumiwanag ang mga mata niya sa kaisipang si Hinata iyon.

But to her disappointment, what she hears is the opposite.

Instead, she's starting to hear some familiar giggles and strange m-ans.

It was from her Mother and Father of course since kwarto nila ito.

Kumunot ang noo niya. Naalala niya, lagi nila itong naririnig bawat gabi o kahit sa umaga pa. She didn't know what they are doing but she was quite curious. Anong ginagawa nila at lagi silang tumatawa?

And as expected, the next thing that she knew was someone was m-aning loudly saying 'don't stop'

She didn't knew but she was not comfortable. Kaya naman madiin niyang tinakpan ang mga tenga at muling sumiksik sa gilid.
