Seven: The Devil Who Loves Me

My world revolves around family, books, and school. Aral, bahay. Bahay, eskwela. Boring para sa iba, normal naman kung ituring ko. I'm the goody-two-shoes, prim and proper, prude. Life for me was black and white, no in-between. But it all changed when I saw him. He's handsome and alluring. His presence commands my full attention and I was drawn to him in ways I can't explain. But there's something dark and mysterious about him, I can see it in his eyes, sometimes. It's there, lurking. Gusto kong umatras, magtago kapag nagtatama ang aming mga mata pero ang tanong paano at saan? Wala akong makitang paraan lalo pa't araw-araw ko na siyang nakakasama sa isang bubong, he's my husband. We were both forced into a marriage, convenience for him and for me, payment. I am the payment. Everything around me changed because of him. He doesn't like me but that didn't stop him from making me smile. My walls now were paved with pink dandelions and butterflies because of him. Pero paano kung ang lahat ng nalalaman ko sa kanya'y pawang kasinungalingan lamang. Isang balat-kayo. That he's not some angel with a sexy and gorgeous grin but a devil in dashing Armani suit. That he is the Devil himself. I'm no angel because now I have the courage to commit sins. Which one? All of it! I want to offer my heart and my soul to the Devil- SEVEN.
