Devilish Angel

PART 2

“Ely! Ely!”

Everything’s blurred. All I can hear are strange noises.. Calling my name.

“Ely!”

I can hear familiar voices.

I can see a strange light.

Ang liwanag..

“Ely!”

Just after a few seconds, everything went clear.

Where am I? What am I doing here?

“M-mom.. D-dad.. H-hero..”

My mom is sitting near the bedside. My dad is comforting my mom and Hero, my little brother is crying.

“Kuyaaaa!”

Hero hugged me.

“W-what happened?” I hugged him back.

“You were almost dead, my son! Thank God you are safe! Thank God!”

God.

Thank God.

“See you soon, Ely! Don’t forget to pray! Believe in God!”

Those words flash backed my memory.

Where is Miss Pout?

--

It’s been half a year since the accident. At gabi gabi hindi ako makatulog thinking about heaven.

Hindi ko makalimutan yung mga nangyari noon.

Hindi ko makalimutan yung heaven.

Hindi ko rin makalimutan yung mukha ni Miss Pout.

Her wavy hair, her porcelain skin, her brown eyes, her smile.. everything about her.

Sabi niya she’s just with me all the time. Asan kaya siya ngayon.

“Miss Pout? Asan ka?”

I here alone at my bedroom. Siguro mukha na nga akong ewan dito at salita ako nang salitang mag-isa.

“Namimiss na kita Miss Pout. Ano bang pangalan mo?”

Nakakainis, hindi ko man lang nalaman yung pangalan niya.

Err, why is that bothering me?

“Sige, Miss Pout. Sabi mo magpathank you ako kay God for giving me another life. Gagawin ko yun, Miss Pout. Magpapakabait na ako, hindi na ako mang-aasar, hindi na ako magsisinungaling. Promise. Pero, promises are meant to be broken so don’t expect to much. Tao lang ako.”

I miss her.

I want to see her again.

“Miss Pout, kung bang mag-aaral ako ng lesson ko ngayong gabi magpapakita ka?”

Silence..

Hanggang ngayon wala pa ring nagreresponse sa mga sinasabi ko. Parang wala akong kausap. Wala naman pala talaga. Haaaaay.

Binuksan ko na yung libro ko. Hindi naman talaga ako nagbabasa ng advance sa mga lessons, pero bakit ganun? Hindi ko namalayang binubuksan ko na pala yung libro ko.. at.. Nililipat ko pa ng pages?

Teka, hindi ito yung lessons naming sa Literature a.

Greek mythology?

I was about to close the book pero something caught my attention..
