The Wings Called Prequel (COMPLETED)

Chapter 30

"A-Anong ibig mong sabihin?" Proverbs asked. Hindi ko maiwasang mapatingin sa kanya. She looks so mad, and this is the first time I felt the madness in her. My eyes moved to her hands, holding the wrist watch I gave her, and then I turned my gaze to Naver, and now I badly want to punch his annoying face.

"Hindi pa ba malinaw 'yun? Misyon ko ang misyon mo." a calm reply by Naver made me more wanted to hit his face. What's up with him? Anghel ba talaga ang isang 'to?

But truth was told, hindi dapat si Naver 'yung dapat na pinagkakatiwalaan. I can't blame Proverbs as well, I know that aside from me, she has Naver whom she could only trust. And now, seeing how mad she is right now, all because she's hurt. Really hurt. Na kung sino pa 'yung pinagkakatiwalaan niya, 'yun pa ang magtataksil sa kanya.

I tried to pull her away from Naver but she just grab my hand and look at me like as if she's giving me a warn about the thing that I don't get. All I can see is pain and it really breaks my heart. This is so strange, because I haven't seen this tears before, she's really fucking hurt.

I hugged her. "No, stop it," I says as I trying to hide her face to my chest. "Don't look at him. I understand that you're mad but that's not Proverbs."

I heard her sniffed. I took a deep breath and look at Naver who's now smirking in front of us. "You asshole."

Marahan siyang umiling. "Mukhang nagwagi ata ako?"

I was about to speak when Proverbs cut me off. "Sinungaling."

Naver scoffed. "Ikaw ba? Hindi?"

"Ni kailanman ay hindi ako nagsinungaling, Naver." Proverbs shot back.

"Buhay ang magulang ni Timothy? Hindi ba't ikaw ang pumatay sa kanila kaya bumalik ka't pinilit mong pumayag si Timothy sa pamamagitan ng magigising ang magulang niya?"

What?

"What's the catch? Malalaman ko kung sino ka? Makakaalala na ba ako? Definitely, no. I'm not interested. Besides, makakaalala rin naman ako gradually—"

"Maggigising ang parents mo."

"What?"

"Please. Pumayag ka na, gusto ko nang makabalik sa langit."

Fuck. I don't get it.

Proverbs look at me. "Hindi, Timothy. Hindi ako nagsisinungaling. Totoo, hindi ko pinatay ang mga magulang mo. Hindi ko kayang gawin 'yun—"

Tumingin ako kay Naver. "No, they're alive."

"That's probably because of Proverbs' necklace," How could he even afford to be so calm knowing that he's trying to wreck Proverbs heart. "Actually, hindi naman talaga 'yan temptations, e. Hindi ko alam ba't may ganyan siya."

"Bakit mo pa ako tinulungan kung gaganituhin mo rin naman pala ako? Akala ko ba anghel ka? Bakit..." agad na napatingin ako kay Proverbs nang napahinto siya sa pagsasalita. Napatakip siya sa kanyang bibig. "Ang mga kalapati sa loob... hindi ka anghel!"

"Alam mo bang isang napakamaling desisyon ang magmahal?" Naver replied instead.

Fuck. The birds inside his house. Proverbs words flushes through my mind.

"Isang daang anghel ang dapat kong ikulong para magkaroon ako ng isang permanenteng katawan ng tao. Hindi ko pwedeng gawin 'yon, Timo. Isang daang anghel ang magsasakripisyo't hindi ko kayang gawin iyon."
