KING OF TORMENTS [Completed]

CHAPTER 46

Death.

I bet even once in your life, you already asked yourself how did it feel to die, or would you ever feel it in the first place once it occured. Dying was inevitable. Everyone knew it would come like a thief in the night, however, no living beings knew the exact sensation this word would bring. There were many fictional narrations of dying, but nothing was certain.

For me, I didn't have any idea either. Right now, I was hearing different voices talking in unison. Their words were vague. Every sound they made were fast like lightnings that struck in the sky. The transitions were too fast that it made my mind dizzy.

"Mapapagalitan talaga ako ni kuya nito."

"Bakit mo kasi siya sinuway?"

"Gusto kitang makita, e!"

"I'll always be here. Always."

....

"You know what, I am always fascinated with how a single decision and action can create a ripple effect."

"Hmm, what do you mean?"

"Think about it... ang isang desisyon kahit gaano man ito kaliit ay may malaking epekto. Isipin mo kung hindi ko sinuway si Kuya ay wala ako ngayon rito. Kung sinunod ko naman siya iba ang magiging outcomes, right?"

"You're thinking too deep."

"I mean, try to look at the bigger picture. You encounter different person in your life. Sa laki ng mundo mayroon kang mga nakakasalubong na tao.
Kung minsan hindi na nga natin tinatapunan ng tingin ang mga taong nakakasalubong natin sa isang crowded place not knowing that given by different circumstances they can be a very significant person in our life. Did once in your life natanong mo na ba... who are those people that I lost the chance to meet just because I've made this particular decision?"

....

"Ilayo mo nga 'yan sa akin!"

"You're so adorable. My little Sapphire is afraid with blood?"

"I-I don't want to see it! Ayoko talaga sa dugo. Please stop hurting yourself. I don't want to see the two of you fighting for a stupid reason."

"You are not a stupid."

...

"Why are you doing this, Sappy?"

"Ano ba'ng masama sa ginagawa ko?"

"You already knew from the start that it is forbidden. Stop playing with fire or you'll burn with it."

"Kailan pa naging mali ang pagmamahal?"

...

"You're turning me into someone I can no longer recognize!"

"Scared of our dirty little secret, hmm?"

"I hate you!"

"We both knew you don't."

...

"Ramdam ko... kahit hindi mo sabihin..."

"What are you trying to say?"

"May nagbago na. You are slowly drifting away from my touch. You are near but why do I feel like I can no longer reach you?"

"Hindi kita maintindihan."

"Tell me... mayroon na bang iba?"
