Ang Boyfriend Kong Demon King (Soon To Be Published)

Chapter 38 - Gypsy

(POV Reichel)

Nagising kami ni Sage sa kalagitnaan ng gabi habang kumukulog ng malakas at bumubuhos ang ulan. Akala ko pa naman, forever summer dito sa island.

"Sage, may bagyo ba?" tanong ko sabay bangon sa kama. Nakakatakot kasi ang kidlat na natatanaw ko sa bintana.

"How the fuck would I know? Pabayaan mo yung bagyo na yan, lilipas din yan. Halika dito, matulog muna tayo," inaantok niyang sagot at hinila ko pabalik sa kama.

"Sage, wait lang. Biglang bumukas yung television. Baka importante, samahan mo ko sa labas."

Mabilis naman na sumunod si Sage dahil alam niya, mga related sa buhay namin ang pinapalabas sa television. Most of the time, mga events sa buhay ng kambal namin.

But this time, it is a different kind of show. We can see a woman with long curly hair and with decorated earrings. She looks like a typical gypsy fortune teller, but she is sitting in the middle of a circle drawing on the floor with different illustrations.

"Sage, those ancient symbols are familiar. If I am not mistaken, those are related to necromancy or communicating with the dead."

Si Sage naman ay nakatitig lang sa television. Dahil madilim ang lugar kung nasaan ang gypsy, kitang kita namin every time gumuguhit ang kidlat sa kwarto niya. And somehow, it corresponds to the lightning strike that is happening in our place.

"That woman is trying to get in touch with someone from the Realm of the Dead and she is directly affecting this world," sagot ni Sage sa akin.

"Do you know her? Bakit natin siya nakikita sa TV natin?"

"Probably to tell us that necromancy is dangerous and the Immundus can use it as a gateway to enter the World of the Living."

"Sage, we have to defeat the remaining shadow creatures. The only way we can stop them is kung babalik tayo sa mundo ng tao."

"It is easy to say, but our ashes are now scattered the Caribbean. We no longer have a physical body."

"Sabi nga ni Sir Hades, we are the guardians now. We may be able to have our body back. Sabi nga sa lessons ni Professor Aurelia, energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it transforms from one form to another. Baka applicable din yun sa katawang lupa natin. It was transformed to ash, but there is a possibility that it can transform back to its original state."

"Ows? Nakiklnig ka ng lessons ni Professor Aurelia? I thought ako lang laman ng isip mo during our college class?"

"Hoy, nag-aaral naman ako noh? Saka di kita masyado iniisip noon kasi nga di mo ko type."

"After all these years, you are still bitter as ever," sabi ni Sage sabay yakap sa akin. He kissed my forehead as if he is assuring me na ako lang ang type niya at walang iba.

The storm suddenly stopped at nawala din ang babaeng gypsy sa screen. Napansin namin na biglang lumiwanag ang kalangitan at unti unting sumisikat ang araw.

"Umaga na agad?" inis na tanong ni Sage na sumilip sa bintana.

"Mukhang may ibang concept ng time ang lugar na ito."

"But I'm still tired. Di ba dapat hindi tayo mapapagod kasi nasa afterlife na tayo?" nakapout na sabi ni Sage na parang bata.

"Masyado kang napagod nung nasa Hashima Island tayo or napagod ka sa mga kalokohan na naisip mo kagabi?"

"Nag enjoy ka din naman sa kalokohan ko. Don't dare to deny it, Mrs. Elizalde."
