INFERNO: LILITH

𝕴𝖐𝖆𝖘𝖆𝖒𝖕𝖚𝖓𝖌 𝖄𝖚𝖌𝖙𝖔

Ang kamay nitong nakapatong sa mesa ay nangungugat na sa pwersa na dulot ng pagpipigil niya upang makapanakit. Ni hindi niya man lang napansin ang pagdating ni Baal dala-dala ang tatlong tray ng pagkain kung saan hawak niya ang dalawa sa magkabilang kamay at nakapatong ang isang tray sa ulo niya.

"Alam mo 'pa, 'wag na lang bigyan mo na lang ako ng pera at magkakape na lang ako sa Starbucks." Inilahad nito ang kaniyang kamay sa harap ng ama at dali-dali naman itong inabutan ng limang-daan. 

She looks so discontented upon getting the money and just left her father who was barely holding back his tears from falling. 

Hindi na nakapagtimpi pa si Satan at biglang tumayo. Baal was about to stop him when Asmodeus told him to just let Satan do what he wants.

"Pero mas masarap kainin ng crispy ang fried chicken!" Nanghihinayang na wika ni Baal habang nilalantakan na ang gravy. 

"Just eat, let's just wait for him." Wala namang inimik pa si Baal at tahimik na lang na kumain. 

Asmodeus look around and he saw different auras of people from their body. Those auras are their sins. As much as he could feel the aura of lust from the people around him, Satan could also feel those heavy presence. 

When Satan left, sinigurado niyang sundan ang walang utang na loob na babaeng 'yon. He couldn't stand people like her. As the Demon of Wrath, he had the strong desire to punish this woman in his own way. 

He waited for her to leave Starbucks and pulled her wrist. Sa paghila niya rito ay napatingala sa kaniya ang dalaga at natulala ito sa taglay nitong kagwapuhan. She wasn't alarmed that she was being dragged away by a stranger just because she was so mesmerized by his face. 

She was so focused on admiring the man's looks and she didn't even noticed that they entered an empty comfort room for ladies. Satan locked the door and grabbed both of her wrist and pinned it above her head. 

Nagulat naman ang babae sa ginawa nito. She swallowed a lump on her throat when his pair of cold eyes met hers. Hindi niya alam kung ano ang pakay ng binata sa kaniya. Kung magnanakaw o mamamatay tao ito ay hindi siya sigurado. She never seen a handsome criminal like him. 

"A-anong kailangan mo?" Nauutal nitong tanong.

When his eyes flared in red she was horrified. Sinubukan niyang kumalas mula sa pagkakahawak nito subalit hindi niya magawa. Kahit hawak lang siya ng binata gamit ang isang kamay ay hindi niya pa rin kayang kumawala rito. 

"Bitawan mo ako!" She struggled within his grasp but into her dismay, she was not able to get away from him. 

"Aren't you curious of what your life would become a few years later?" Malakong tanong ni Satan habang nakatitig sa mga mata nitong takot na takot sa kaniya. 

His eyes were glimmering in red and the woman in front of him couldn't help but to feel fear. This man is not a human being, that's what she's sure of. She opened her mouth and tried to shout to call for help, but the moment she tried to speak, she had no voice. 

"Look into my eyes." Taliwas sa takot na nararamdaman nito ay sumunod ito sa utos ng binata. Pag tingin niya sa mga mata nito ay animo'y may sunod-sunod na imahe siyang nakita. 

"Your father will die in exhaustion para lang mabili ang phone na gusto mo." Napakurap ang dalaga nang makitang doble kayod sa pagtatrabaho ang ama niya.

Sa isang araw ay tatlong trabaho ang pinaghihirapan nito para lang makakuha ng extra na pera. Nakita niya kung paano tumagaktak ang pawis nito at ang pagpapahiya at pananakit sa kaniya ng amo niya nang magkamali ito. 

When he got home and brought her a food he ordered from a famous restaurant, she tossed it in the trash thinking it was from a cheap 'karindirya' where he used to buy her food. Her father was so heartbroken. Inatake ito sa puso at namatay.
