Devil's Infinite Love (On-going)

Chapter 1

Hundred Years Ago

Niyakap ko ang aking sarili ng biglang lumakas ang ihip ng hangin. Tanging huni ng mga insekto at ibon ang aking naririnig. My vision are getting blurred because of exhaustion. The surroundings are getting dark and cold. Umupo ako sa malaking ugat ng puno at ipinikit ang mata. Ramdam ko ang pagod.

'Where are you?

Paulit-ulit na tanong ko. Saan ka na naman ba nagtago? Lagi ka nalang nagtatago. Ganon mo na ba ako kinamumuhian? Sabihin mo lang na ayaw mo na akong makita. Sabihin mo ng harap-harapan. At sa ganon lalayuan na kita.

'Bakit ayaw mo ba akong makita? Samantalang ako ay gustong-gusto kitang makita.

I laughed at my thoughts. Yeah, who would someone accept a devil like me? Of course no one. I was born with two horrific horns. Who would accept me? I tried to be nice. I acted like a human. Dahil yun ang sabi mo. Kulang pa ba?

" I mistook you for someone else" Nahigit ko naman ang aking hininga dahil sa gulat. I looked around just to see who spoked while ago. A human? Or a monster? No. Her voice were calm and gentle.

" Sino ka?" tanong ko. Maybe she's harmless. I'm harmless too. I chuckled.

There's a long silence before she showed herself infront of me. I was shocked because her beauty is beyond praise. She's not an ordinary woman.

I couldn't open my mouth and if i did, I might stutter. That's embarrassing. So i decided to shut my mouth and just watch her. Really? A devil just lost her tongue?

She smiled but her eyes didn't. I can sense it. Her sadness. Why?

" My child, why are you alone?" She asked in a sad tone. Child? Ako?

" I-I'm looking for someone." i looked down and bit my lips because of embarrasment. Somehow i feel comfortable. Is it because she's a beauty? Hindi siya nagsalita kaya tumahimik ang paligid.

" Y-your parents?" She asked with a trembling voice. Is she crying?

" No." Kailan man ay hindi ko hinanap ang pamilya ko. Para saan pa? Kung sila na mismo ang nang-iwan sa akin. Sa pangalawang pagkakataon ay hindi na naman ito nagsalita. Is she okay?

" I'm sorry" nabigla ako ng yakapin niya ako. Mahigpit na yakap na tila ba nangungulila. Bakit? Mas nabigla pa ako ng haplusin niya ang ulo ko. Parang nawala bigla ang pagod ko. Is she a witch? A healer?

Nakaramdam ako ng antok at unti-unting nagsara ang talukap ng aking mata. Maybe she put magic on me. She's really not an ordinary woman. A witch? Or a Goddess? Maybe she's a goddess.

" My child. Me and your father loves you so much. But the world was against us. For your safety, we had to leave you."
