Ishamar's POV

Naupo ako sa gitna ng hagdan at naglabas ng sigarilyo't sinindihan iyon. Ipinatong ko naman sa baitang sa aking likuran ang kaliwa kong braso at tumingala.

Tahimik at madilim ang paligid. Mainit-init pa ang dugo sa aking kamay at ang amoy nito'y nanunuot sa aking ilong na sumasabay sa amoy ng sigarilyo.

I just ended five lives of people I don't even know their names. I knew where they lives but not about their family. I knew they did disgusting things with me but not how much caring and loving they are to the people they knew. I just knew that they're bunch of sh*ts that needed to die.

If they hadn't just came this night... they should've made a lovely farewell to their love ones who will leave behind.

Hinawakan ko ang sigarilyo at ibinaba iyon sabay nagpakawala ng malalim na buntong-hininga. But, because of what happened, I just realized something about myself.

There was another me within myself.

The me who can forget the difference between good and bad. The me without moral at all. The me without guilt. The me who doesn't care ending other people's lives. The me who's having pleasure whenever blood splash through my skin and wake up every cell within my body.

There's a monster within myself.

But I'm wondering... just... how long will this monstrous Ishamar exist?

No. Let me rephrase it.

Does the humane Ishamar no longer exist?

Whom to blame? Did they do this to me? Did I do this to myself? Or... did Heze made me like this?

Bumalik sa reyalidad ang aking pag-iisip nang marinig ang pagbukas ng pinto kaya napatingin ako roon. Mula sa unang palapag ay nakita ko si Heze na naglalakad papasok. Agad naman itong natigilan sa paglalakad nang makita ako.

"Oh, you're still awake," aniya sa kaswal na boses.

Still awake? He left me on my deep sleep.

Binalewala ko na lang iyon at napatingin sa balikat niya dahil may bitbit siyang nakapatong doon. Mukhang napansin naman ni Heze na nakapokus doon ang aking mata dahil agad niyang ibinagsak ang katawan ng isang lalaki sa sahig na ikinaungol nito sa sakit.

It was a body of a guy being tied up... Luis.

"Did you saw my note? I left because I thought it'll be nice to wake you with a surprise. By bringing this man to you so that you won't take time preparing," lintana ni Heze na hindi ko inimikan at nakatingin lang sa kanila.

He warned me not to do anything reckless that might leave a trace and the police might know what were planning to do, yet he came home with this guy. He's even carrying him like he just came with with a sack of rice that is ready to feed to me.

Sa kalagitnaan ng katahimikan ay narinig namin ang pagtawa ni Luis kaya napunta sa kaniya ang aming atensyon.

"Knowing that there's no one here... I bet they're already gone home after taking your things. Look at the place, even if I haven't been here I know that there are things that's missing," pahayag nito at malakas na tumawa.
