44. LUCIFER'S GAME.

"Let's play, Daenarys," Lucifer said with a smirk on his lips.

I stood up and faced him. "What game?" I asked.

"Hmm..."

"I want you to enter in cabinet over there," aniya saka tinuro ang isang cabinet na kasya ang tao.

I nodded. "Then?"

"I want you to keep your eyes shut and ears covered. I want you to keep quiet and don't mind the noises that you'll hear later. Did you get it?"

Magagawa ko naman 'yon 'di ba? Pero bakit? Laro ba 'to?

"What kind of game is that? Why do I have to enter on cabinet?"

"This game is called 'Blind, Deaf and Mute." Sa loob ng binigay kong minutos ay wala kang ibang gagawin kundi magbulag-bulagan, magbingi-bingihan at maging pipi."

"Hmm okay." I gave him a wide smile. "I'm so excited to see what my reward is!"

He just shook his head and lend me to the cabinet.

"Follow my game rules, 'kay?"

Pinagsaklop ko ang dalawang tuhod ko saka yumuko. Iniangat ko lang ang ulo ko nang marinig kong sinara na ni Lucifer 'yung pinto ng cabinet.

"The timer starts now!" He shouted from the outside.

Ang unang minuto ko dito ay okay naman. Wala naman akong naririnig na kahit anong ingay.

Not until I heard loud shouts and noises asking for help. Why do they asking for help? Who's the owners of those noises?

"Help! Stop!"

"Ah!"

I thought those shouts and strange noises I heard is enough not until I heard gunshots...

"Follow my game rules, Hannah. If you do, you'll see what your reward is." Lucifer's voice played in my ears.

Yeah, the game rules.

Inilibot ko ang paningin ko sa loob ng cabinet at nakitang may maliit na siwang sa gilid ng pinto.

"Kailangan mong magbulag-bulagan." I heard his voice again.

But I'm curious where those strange noises comes from...

I will just sneek a little. Promise.

I slowly leaned in and got shocked when someone immediately blocked it.

"What the fck," ani ko sa isip ko.

Minutes passed then I heard a crying voice.

Crying voice of my mother...

"Stop please...." Her voice broke.

"Are you kidding me? You want me to stop?" hindi makapaniwalang tanong ni Lucifer. Alam kong si Lucifer 'yon dahil sakanyang boses.

"Any last words?" malademonyong boses ni Lucifer. Hindi siya ang kilala naming Lucifer. Oh baka puro kasinungalingan lang ang mga pinakita niya sa'min noon.

There's no response from my Mom but I heard her sobbing then I heard countless sound of a gun.

My eyes filled with tears. I covered my mouth so I can stop myself to make noises while crying.

Tumingin ako sa timer na nasa gilid ko at nakitang may 3 minutos pa ako para mag-stay.

Gusto ko ng makita kung anong nangyari kay Mama. Kung bakit madaming tunog ng baril at sigawan mula sa labas.

Mahina kong itinulak ang pinto at nakitang bumukas ito. Hindi naman pala nakalock.

Dahan-dahan kong ibinaba ang paa ko at nilibot ng tingin ang naturang kwarto.

Lalo akong naluha sa'king nakita. Ang buong pamilya ko ay puno ng saksak at tama ng baril. Sila'y pawang naliligo sa sariling dugo.

"Mom.. Dad..." I whispered and slowly walked towards them.

Nang makalapit ay niyakap ko sila ng mahigpit at umiyak ng umiyak, hindi iniinda ang mga dugong nagkalat sa damit at mukha.

"Sino may gawa nito sainyo!" I shouted in frustration.

Nakarinig ako ng yapak ng mga paa na papalapit ng papalapit sa pwesto ko.

"You did not follow my game rules, Daenarys. Now you have to face the consequence of your action."

I was about to tilt my head towards him, but I felt someone stabbed my back with a knife.

"Be with your family now, Daenarys," he mocked and laughed like an evil.
