Handa na ba ang lahat?" I asked after putting a black vase on the table that was placed at the center of the room
Pinagpatuloy ko lamang ang pag-aayos ngunit nang walang sumagot ay napalingon ako
I frowned and was about to give them sermons but stop when I saw what they're doing
Everyone is busy putting decorations in every corner for this peculiar celebration
Napangiti na lamang ako. Hindi man nila sabihin ay halata ang excitement sa kanila. Not by words but by gestures.
The room is filled with black color
Ayaw ko man ay pumayag na akong ito ang tema para sa pagdiriwang na ito
We all know that black is a bad sign in every event but since it is a celebration that is seldom celebrated, I allow it.
"Everything is in their right place. What's next?" biglaang tanong ni David
I immediately got the phone from my pants' pocket and dialled his number.
I don't need to say what I'm going to do dahil kita ko sa mata nila ang pagsang-ayon sa aking plano
"Hello?" A baritone voice echoed in the line
"James, please help us. Nandito kami sa abandoned building malapit kina Harmony. We were kidnapped" I whispered as the daunt was very evident in my voice
"What?! Alright. I'll be there" he hysterically said and immediately put down the phone
Ngumiti ako ng tagumpay sa mga kaibigang nakatayo sa aking harap na naghihintay rin sa papadating na si James
Not awhile ago, we heard a honk just a few meters from where we are.
Ilang saglit lamang ay lumitaw ang naka itim na si James
Panic is plastered in his handsome face
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" we shouted as we pop the party popper
Halata ang gulat sa kanyang mga mata habang ipinapakita ang maliligayang mata
We took a seat and fire the candles with 21 counts.
"Make a wish"
Ilang segundong katahimikan ang namayani sa apat na sulok ng abandonadong estraktura.
James stared at the candles before blowing them off
"You fini--"
A loud 'boom' sound enveloped the whole are that cause us to panic--
Except for one person who is now holding a gun while laughing... evilly
James
"What the hell bro! Are you a psycho?!" David bantered
Lumukot ang mukha nito at tumawa na tila ba kay sayang pagmasdan kami ng ganito bago pinaulanan ng kay raming bala ang kaawa-awang si David
His body is now on the ground bathing by his own tick blood
"Stop crying!" James shouted as his hands covering his ears na tila ba takot sa nangyayari
Emma and Eisley cannot stop their sob while hugging each other
I was about to stop him from clicking the gun but the body I have is too shock to be move forcedly
"No!" natapalan ng isang malakas na pagputok ng baril ang aking sigaw
The twins are now brutally killed.
They died hugging each other.
"And as for you, my darling"
I stood up and stepped backwards when his right foot stepped towards where I was sitting
"How sweet of you to cook my parents meats. Masarap ba?"
A tear escaped from my eye as I stare at his now evil eyes.
This is not the man I've been loving anymore
"Why are you doing this?" I asked
"Wala. Trip ko lang. Isn't this the best birthday ever? My parents as the meal and our friends as the decoration"
Hindi ko na napigilan pang ibato ang bagay na una kong nahawakan.
How can he say that?
"You are a psycho!" I dauntlessly shouted, not minding the danger will face
Instead of slapping or punching me hard, he just smiled and point the gun's mouth right into my face
"Thank you for this celebration, darling. I enjoyed this day. A lot"
I heard a sound of something broke before my back meets the cold ground
My unconscious body is now hugging the ground with blood scattered on the pavement
It is too late to realize that what I heard was the tearing pieces of my own skull.
