DEVIL ON HIS KNEES | by Robin @Robin_Blue22

37

No More

"I don't know anymore... ibalik mo ang anak ko, ibalik mo si Maricar." May pagbabantang sabi ni Carrie kay Marjon. She's been quietly enraged of her husband. Kung hindi dahil dito ay hindi sana nalayo sa kanila si Maricar. It's all his fault since the beginning,he let that bastard son of evil into their lives.

"What do you think I've been doing?" Maasidong sagot ni Marjon. Simula nang ipagtabuyan silang mag-asawa ni Mari ay tila nanlamig at tensyunado ang kanilang pagitan. They started hating each other.

"Kung hindi mo sana dinisgrasya yung tiyuhin niya baka sana nandito ang anak ko."

That made Carrie stood from sitting on the bed and rushed to Marjon. Dinuro ang asawa na kailanman ay hindi niya ginawa. For maybe love is leaving this relationship." You putting this all againts me? How dare you! Ikaw ang nagdala sa batang yon dito! Ikaw ang gumawa ng paraan para mabilog niya ang ulo ng anak ko!"

Napahagod ng marahas sa kanyang buhok si Marjon sa paulit-ulit na sumbat na yon sa kanya. And the way she speaks to him is painful,mocking him. "Don't talk to me that way,Carrie na parang hindi ko rin anak si Maricar na parang wala akong pakealam sa kanya." Titig niya ng mariin dito. And with same cold intensity,she stared back at him and told him the things he never expected from her to say.

"You know that you don't." She said,losing every tiny bit of passion for him on that beautiful face. "Kaya ibalik mo siya sa akin." She added that made him leave the room in grave pity for himself. Dahil kung hindi,he must have said something in return that he might end up regretting.

Alam ni Marjon na kahit kailan ay hindi bunga ng pagtataksil ang ginawa ni Carrie, that it was just out of lust, of need that she did it on him. Carrie let herself get pregnant by another man, the man that she truly loved. Inagaw lang naman ni Marjon si Carrie mula sa taong mahal nito. Their relationship was only made by their families. And Carrie loath him ever since not until she gave birth of Maricar, may mga bagay na nagbago. But did he really think that all the miscarriages Carrie suffered before were misopportunies? Well, no. Carrie never wanted Marjon's child ever. Kaya si Maricar ay kay Carrie lang.

Malalim na ang gabi nang mamaalam ang kaibigang pulis ni Marjon. They successfully taken out her daughter from that monster boy. At bukas na bukas,pag liwanag ay aalis na sila ng bansa. Everything's already arranged and prepared.

But it did not come easy,the boy will not make it easy for them.

Ilang oras pagkaalis ng kaibigang si Jim ay dumating si Devin,armed and eyes were cold as dead. He could even feel the chills. Kung paano sila natunton ay hindi alam ni Marjon.

The gun made Marjon alerted and took his own too. Agad niya iyong itinutok dito,wala pa iyong natatamaang tao,sa mga parctice shootings pa lang niya sa range pero hindi siya mangingiming subukan iyon ngayon kay Devin.

"Umalis ka dito. Hindi ko ibibigay sayo ang anak ko." Malumanay na pakiusap niya at sa halip na sundin siya ay ngumisi pa ito na parang aso at tinawag pa ang noon ay gising nang si Maricar.

Marjon stepped forward to threatened Devin,mas malapit na ang nguso ng kanyang  baril dito,it made him gulp of fear of losing it. At nakita iyon ng bata na naglalaro ang katuwaan sa mga mata at labi. The boy is toying at him that got him enraged. Lumakas ang boses na sinigawan niya si Devin,cursed at him pero sa halip na mabuway ay lalo pa itong natuwa at nabato sa kinatatayuan. Really a devil incarnate.

Marjon fired his warning shot almost at Devin's foot. Still the boy didn't budged and instead  lifted his handgun towards him,aiming at his face.

"Hindi mo ako natatakot." Anito pa.

Marjon in tense,moved the gun to his right hand from his shaking left hand. Rapidly blinked his eyes and gritted his teeth. Nagdidilim na ang kanyang paningin,his skin getting cold from too much sweating. And he gulped. "Hindi kita tinatakot,dahil kung hindi ka pa umalis I may really shot--"

He shot him at his left made Marjon ducked away,deafening him for a moment.

Devin launched forward. Dahil hindi naman mas malaki amg pangangatawan ni Mr. De Alonzo sa kanya ay madali niya iyong naibuwal sa lupa,kicked his gun and went on top of him that easily. Sa isip-isip ni Dean ay hindi lang pala talaga mukhang lampa ang doktor,lampa nga talaga. At nang tutukan niya ng baril sa sentido ay nagyelo pa ito sa matinding takot.

"Ang pinamigay mo na ay pag-aari ko na." Bulong ni Devin malapit sa tenga nito. "Akin si Maricar." Sabay diin sa baril sa sentido nito. Nang wala itong imik ay kalmado itong nilayuan ni Devin.

Devin confidently strode to the main door. Rinig na rinig niya ang pagmamakaawa ni Maricar sa kanya na iligatas ito. And here he comes. Agad siyang pumasok sa loob at hinanap ng paningin si Mari,pero wala ito roon kundi ang tinig nitong umiiyak at sumisigaw na nagmumula sa pangalawang palapag ng bahay. Devin walked towards the staircase.

"No more." The words that came out Marjon's mouth before pulling the trigger.

The shot from his gun was seemed to be the loudest sound that could be heard from the whole place,banging the walls,shattering the silence of that fateful night.

No more when the boy fall dead at the foot of the staircase.

No more,Marjon repeatedly said to himself.
