The Sinner's Heart

thirteen | Constantine

I don't know kung may reader na ito. I just want to put in here the date when did I write this chapter. Today is January 12, 2018 (3:46 pm).

Maybe in the next two years mayroon na akong readers. I hope so. This is my first year of writing here in Wattpad. But I was a writer in the first place. Syempre self-proclaimed lang. Haha. But yeah, marami akong stories sa laptop ko. Lahat unpublished. Sayang naman kung hindi ko ibahagi sa iba. I just want to try something new. So, here it is.

Future readers, THANK YOU in advance. ;) :*

Kabanata 13

     ANG UNANG napansin ni Artemis pagpasok ay ang lalaking nakaupo sa likod ng isang mahogany table. He wore a business suit and his hair so tidy. And he looks like Neo from her favorite movie, The Matrix. Yeah, he looks like Keanu Reeves.

     But then again there is something about the man that told her that he is not like Neo in any way aside from his looks. He has this authority around him even without a word. His presence itself commands authority.

     Tumayo ang lalaki at lumapit sa kanya. Muntik pa siyang mapaurong kung hindi lang niya napigilan ang sarili. The man was very tall. Maybe he stood around 6'4. Inilahad nito ang malaking kamay.

     Kung hindi lang nito kamukha ang paborito niyang Hollywood actor ay baka tinakbuhan na niya ito. Even his voice is so deep. Iyong tipong mananahimik ang sinuman kapag nagsalita na. And he is young. Mga nasa late twenties. But who knows, supernaturals lives longer and can still look young.

     Yup, Keanu Reeves is a fallen angel. She can feel it.

     "I am Constantine, the leader of the Order." pagpapakilala nito.

     Tinanggap naman niya iyon. Malaki talaga ang kamay ng lalaki. And it was rough and calloused.

     "Artemiscia Arcangel."

     "The daughter of Aphrodite."

     Tumango siya and looked at his eyes. He has the eyes that can drown anyone who will look up to them. As blue as the ocean and as deep as the Marianas Trench. Talagang nakakalunod.

     "You're a fallen angel."

     Tumango ito. Pero nagsalita si Cassandra.

     "He is a god before he became a fallen angel."

     Lumipad ang tingin niya kay Constantine na nakatitig pa rin sa kanya. Kaya pala ganoong na lang ang dating ng presensya nito. He is a god after all.

     Pero may sumagi sa utak niya. If he is a god, then he must be a...

     "You're a black angel." mahinang sabi niya saka lumayo rito. Hindi niya maiwasang maging alerto dahil bago lang nang makaharap niya ang isang black angel.

     "Relax, Artemis. Hindi siya kagaya ng una mong nakita."

     Bumalik si Constantine sa upuan nito saka pinagsalikop ang mga kamay at ipinatong doon ang baba. He looks intimidating even in that simple gesture.

     "Sit."

     Sa ibang pagkakataon ay baka napikon na siya sa pag-uutos nito but she knew that that was his personality. Oo, may pagka-egotistic ang mga diyos. Umupo siya sa kaharap na upuan.

     "Siguro naman ay may ideya ka na sa kung ano ang order."

     Tumango siya. "Am I right to assume that you're the one who controlled the media?" walang ligot na tanong niya.
