"But I wouldn't do that. Rather, I couldn't." Ngumisi siya sa akin tiyaka nahiga sa kama. "Hindi kita niligtas ng ilang beses para hayaan ka mamatay."
"Akala ko ba you were doing a good job sa lugar mo?" I asked, mocking what she said earlier.
"I was! I just need them to trust me with the power of time. . . the power that—" Tumikhim tiyaka nag iwas tingin. "I just needed that power to stop you from dying."
Tinabihan ko siya tiyaka pinitik sa ulo. "Tanga ka rin eh. Alam mo naman pala na mabubuhay lang ako ulit, why bother? Ano na lang gagawin nilang parusa sa'yo nyan?"
She shrugged. "How much more can they punish a demon?"
"If what you're saying is true then look at how they're punishing me." Napabuntong hininga ako at napatitig na lang sa kisame.
"Edi magkita na lang tayo tuwing susunod na buhay natin," biro pa ni Kali.
I pouted and looked at her. "I thought the heavens were the ones punishing me to have such a miserable life, it was hell all along pala. No wonder."
"All the authorization to make you suffer was from the heavens, Lilith."
Oh.
"Hell was just in charge of your suffering," dagdag pa niya. Well, I wasn't wrong pala.
