Troy's Point of View
"Remember, this is for your sister," sabi sa akin ni Mama pagakauwi ko galing sa aking part time job.
"I haven't got my salary, Mom. I can't afford to buy some class b costumes," sagot ko sa kanya pagkatapos kong tanggalin ang aking mga sapatos and dropping my tired body on my bed.
"You don't have to buy anything, Troy. I'll help you find one. Your sister will be glad to see you with her favorite cartoon cosplay," Mom said, smiling at me. "Alright, change your clothes. Dinner at seven," she added before exiting my room.
Napabuntong-hininga ako. My sister has a terminal illness. Doctors said her days were numbered; that's why my parents and I do everything just to make Crissy's life full of happiness.
Kaya kami ni Mama ay gumawa ng costume mula sa murang mga materyales. Hindi iyon ganoon kaganda, ang mahalaga ay mapasaya namin si Crissy sa gagawin kong cosplay.
It has always been tough for my family. Mom and dad couldn’t afford to become luxurious since Crissy’s medications were too expensive.
“What do you think? Will I scare Crissy with this?” tanong ko kay Mama.
“Yep. She’ll be delighted so make it like you’re a true demon lord,” sagot ni Mama.
I walked down the stairs and put my hand on my forehead while menacingly looking at Crissy, who was sitting and being fed by Dad.
"I am the Demon Lord Troy Hercules! I have come with the grand quest of conquest! Filthy humans, bow down before me!" I raised my hand and saw Crissy's wide smile.
The next thing I heard was her claps, looking at me with enthusiasm and bright eyes. My heart swelled up seeing she appreciated my little show.
"You look so cool, big brother!" Crissy said.
Crissy forced herself to stand up and walk towards me despite the oxygen connected to her nose.
Crissy walked towards me and grabbed my arms.
"Picture," she said with heavy breathing.
I looked at Mom, standing in the kitchen aisle, smiling at us, tears formed in her eyes.
Dad and Mom quickly ran to join us while Mom held her phone to take a group picture. Crissy has requested that all family pictures that we have taken, she wanted it to be in her coffin. She wanted to bury it with her.
"Smile," Mom said before clicking the camera.
I raised my peace sign while looking at the camera.
"Ah, I forgot something." Mom went upstairs, leaving us to take some more pictures.
Mom came back, holding something, and put it in my head. A headband with a brown sheep-like horn.
"There you go, you are now a full-fledged demon lord, Lord Troy," she said with a big smile on her face and sadness in her eyes.
I scratched my head. "Thanks, mom."
"Everyone, smile!" Mom announced before clicking the button on her phone.
Matapos ang ilang picture taking, biglang may kumatok sa aming pintuan. Lumapit ako sa pintuan at agad itong binuksan.
"We have to go, T. Baron has been waiting- what the hell are you wearing? Is that your costume?" Dylan said but did not continue what he was about to tell when he saw my costume.
"Na. Mom and I created this. Crissy's request," I said as I took the costume off.
Both Dylan and Bob smiled at me. They knew Crissy's situation, so they understood me.
