Devil 60: Breaking Dawn

Someone's Pov

Upang mas maging exciting ang kanilang gabi ay naisipan ni Cody na maglaro habang nag-iinuman. And since hindi mahihilig sa alak ang mga kasama ay gumawa sya ng paraan upang lasingin ang mga ito sa pamamagitan ng pagpaparusa.

Sa larong inimbento niya ay iinom ng alak ang matatalo.

Nasa kalagitnaan na sila ng paglalaro at halos lasing narin ang ilan niyang kasama lalo na si Third na di naman sanay sa pag inom ng alak nang dumating sina Zero at Jack.

"Yow dude! Bakhet ngayown langh kaayoo!?" Halos pikit na ang matang sita ni Cody sa kanila. Lasing na ito at halos matutumba na kung hindi lang ito hawak ni Jichell sa braso upang alalayan.

"Hayst! What the hell...you look like a shit Dy!" Waring nandidiring wika naman ni Zero habang nakangiwing nakatingin sa kaibigan.

"Annoo?! Hoy Zee! Haw dar youh!" Asik ni Cody at akmang tatayo upang sugurin si Zero nang bigla siyang umangat mula sa kinauupuan.

"Eehh!!?" Takang napatingin siya sa taong bumuhat sa kanya na pang bridal style.

"You really cute even drunk Cody Sean!" Nakangiting komento ni Jichell sa kanya habang buhat buhat siya.

"Ehh? J-jace? Whhyy...ded you jash lift mhe?" Did you just lift me? Nahihilong tanong niya rito.

"Yes I did. It's time for bed my Cody Sean." Anito saka naglakad na habang buhat buhat siya. Alam niyang marami na rin itong nainom kanina subalit mukhang hindi man lang ito tinablan ng kahit isang patak ng alak habang halos gumulapay naman siya sa kalasingan sa tatlong basong nainom niya.

Napailing naman si Zero habang sinusundan ng tingin ang kaibigan na buhat ni Jichell. Kung wala siyang alam tungkol kay Jichell ay malamang na magugulat at mapapahanga siya sa lakas nito dahil sa pagbuhat nito sa kaibigan niya subalit dahil alam na niya ang totoo nitong pagkatao ay parang mas nakakaramdam siya ng awa rito.

To think that I thought they're suits each other. Aniya sa isip saka bumaling ng tingin sa pamangkin na noon ay nakalugmok na sa kalasingan.

Hayst! Isa pa 'to.

"Hey kiddo! Bumangon kana dyan at matulog kana sa tent nyo. Bakit ka ba nagpakalasing? Ni hindi ka pa nga pinapayagang uminom ng alak ng mommy mo tapos nagpakagulapay ka dyan?" Sita niya rito saka tinapik tapik ito sa balikat.

"He's wasted. Just take him to his tent." Ani Shane na noon ay medyo tipsy na rin subalit kumpara sa katabi nitong si Drew na hindi mo alam kung lasing ba o naengkanto.

Nakatulala lang ito habang kanina pa nilalaro sa kamay ang baso na may alak.

"Hey Mr. Perfect. Tama ng inom. Wala na ang punisher na makulit. Matulog kana rin at maaga pa tayo bukas." Ani Shane dito subalit mukhang wala itong narinig at nagpatuloy lang sa ginagawa.

Oh boy! Lasing na ang kumag. Mahirap 'to! Nakangiwing isip ni Zero. He knows his friend and he knows them when they're drunk. At sa kanilang tatlo si Drew ang pinakaworst.

I need to take him to bed. Mahirap na baka kung ano pa ang magawa nya mamaya. Aniya at nilapitan ito.

"Hey bro, let's go to bed." Aniya rito saka kinuha ang basong hawak nito at inilapag sa mesa. Subalit naging hudyat iyon upang magkamalay ito at waring nagulat.

"What are you doing?!" Gulat nitong sambit at tiningnan siya ng masama. Gulat din na napatingin sila rito.

"Don't touch me you asshole!" Asik nito sa kanya na animoy hindi nito nakikilala ang kaharap.

"Oh man! Drew seriously? It's me, your friend! Ilang bote ba ang nainom nito?" Problemadong tanong niya kay Shane na medyo nagulat din sa inasal ni Drew. Ngunit imbis na matakot ay bahagya pa itong natawa sa nakita.

"Dalawa I think?" Ani Shane habang nakatingin sa galit na si Drew.

Napasapo sa noo si Zero.

"Okay, here's the deal. Drew is always on rage when he's drunk at wala syang nakikilalang tao. At ang tingin nya sa lahat ay kaaway. Kaya mag-iingat ka." Aniya kay Shane at bumaling kay Third.

"Ihahatid ko muna si Third sa tent nila. Ikaw na muna ang bahala sa isang yan. H'wag mo nalang kausapin para hindi ka magkaproblema sa kanya." Aniya saka binuhat ang pamangkin at bumaling kay Jack na noon ay tahimik lang na nakaupo habang pinapanood sila.

"Stay here. I'll be back." Nakangiting wika niya saka umalis na.

Naiwan naman ang tatlo sa maliit na kubo habang natutuwang pinapanood ni Shane si Drew na noon ay nahihilo ngunit napakaseryoso ng mukha.

"Hey Mr. Perfect. Can you recognize me?" Tanong ni Shane sa lasing na si Drew.

Sinamaan siya nito ng tingin.

"I don't care who you are. Just stay away from me!" Asik nito.

"Why? I'm not gonna hurt you! I'm your friend." Pigil ang tawang aniya rito.

Tiningnan siya nito ng may pagdududa.

"I don't believe you! You look like a mean girl! I don't want to be friends with mean girl!" Anito at inilabas ang dila tanda nang pagkadisgusto nito sa kanya.

"Pfft!! Hahahahaha!!" Bunghalit na tawa ni Shane. Hindi na niya napigilan ang sarili.

Maging si Jack na tahimik ay bahagyang natawa sa inasal ni Drew.

"Oh my God! My tummy hurts! Hahahaha!" Tawang tawang turan ni Shane.

"What's so funny?" Inis naman asik sa kanya ni Drew.

Ngunit dahil sa sobrang tuwa ay hindi na halos makasagot si Shane.

"Hey John." Agaw pansin naman ni Jack dito. Bumaling sa kanya si Drew at kunot noong tumingin sa kanya.

"Are you calling me?" Takang tanong nito.

Ngumiti si Jack rito. "Yeah. How old are you?"

Medyo naghesitate na sumagot si Drew dahil hindi niya kilala ang nagtatanong.

"Why are you asking? My mom said not to trust a stranger." Anito at dahil sa narinig ay muling napabunghalit ng tawa si Shane. She never thought na may ganito palang side si Mr. Perfect kapag nalalasing. Kaya siguro ayaw talaga nitong uminom kanina.

"I'm not a stranger. I'm your mom's friend. And the girl beside you is your teacher." Ani Jack.

"I'm what-!" Bulalas naman ni Shane na napatigil sa pagtawa subalit muling napangiti nang maalala ang sitwasyon nila.

Natigilan naman si Drew sa narinig at bahagyang napatingin sa katabi.

She's my teacher? She look like a crazy woman. But if she is really my teacher then I have to respect her. Ani Drew sa isip.

"Teacher, I'm sorry for my rudeness." Magalang na wika niya rito. Halos matulala naman si Shane sa narinig at nakitang hitsura ni Drew.

Pfft..What the...kelan pa sya naging cute ng ganito??! Shit!!! Ba't lumalakas ang tibok ng puso ko?? Anang isip ni Shane saka mabilis na tinungga ang basong hawak ni Drew. Nagulat man ay napakunot noo lang si Drew sa inasal ng teacher niya.

Napangiti naman si Jack na nakita saka tumayo.

"Ask him anything. I think he thought that he's in his younger age now. Treat him like a kid. I'm off to bed." Ani Jack kay Shane saka tinalikuran na ito.

Naiwan naman ang dalawa sa kubo. Bahagyang tumikhim si Shane saka bumaling kay Drew. Ngunit bago yun ay inihanda muna niya ang camera upang irecord ang magaganap.

I can't imagine what will be his reaction if I show it to him tomorrow. Harhar!😈

"So, Drew. You know what your mom's friend said right? I'm your teacher. And where here in the woods coz your mom said that it will be better if I take you out and bring here." Aniya.

Tahimik lang naman na napatango si Drew kahit wala itong naalala na sinabi ng kanyang mommy.

Pigil naman ang tawang nagpatuloy si Shane.

"So, how old are you now?"

"I'm 10." Inosenting sagot ni Drew.

Shit...ang cute!! Kagat labing tili ni Shane sa sarili.

"So, do you have a girlfriend?"

"No I don't. I'm still young." Sagot nito at napalabi.

Oh my God! Stop it Mr. Perfect I might bite that lips of yours.

"Really? You're right. But if you grow up what are the characteristic of the girl you'll like?"

Bahagyang napaisip si Drew saka napakagat labi.

"Well, I think... Someone like..." Anitong napapaisip saka tumingin sa kanya.

"...someone like Shane." Anito.

What?? Shane? Who's Shane??

Parang natulala siya sa sinabi nito.

Wait, he's 10 years old now. Who is this Shane na kapangalan ko pa? Naguguluhang isip niya.

Natigilan siya at bahagyang napaisip.

Teka...hindi kaya... This Shane was his childhood friend and the reason why he approached me was because I reminds him of his childhood friend?

Waring may kung anong kumirot sa puso niya sa isiping iyon.

Bahagya siyang napatikhim.

"Well, ha.ha. This Shane, w-who is she? Your first love?" Atubiling tanong niya.

"Yeah. I think." Nakangiting sagot ni Drew saka napayuko at waring inalala pa ang mga nangyari sa kanila ng Shane na sinasabi nito.

Oh My God Mr. Perfect! I never thought you'd be this cruel even though you're drunk! I shouldn't asked you about it. What a karma!

"Well, w-who is this Shane by the way?" Napipilitang tanong niya. Parang pinagsisisihan tuloy niya na nagtanong pa siya.

Napangiti si Drew saka tumingin sa kawalan.

"She's...just a girl I know in school. She was funny and cool and nice. She always annoys me and we're like a puppycat when we're together but... I kinda like her. I don't know when did it start but... I like her."

Tulalang napatitig siya kay Drew na noon ay parang nahihiya habang nagkukwento sa crush nito.

Dugdugdugdugdugdugdug...

Who in the world is he referring to?

"D-do you know her complete name?" Kinakabahang tanong niya.

Tumingin si Drew sa kanya at ngumiti.

"Her name is Andrix Shane Gravalez. Cool name right? I like her name, I like her blonde hair, I like her eyes, I like it when she drive her motorbike. I like everything about her." Nakangiting turan nito na animoy nagpapantasya at kumikinang pa ang mga mata.

Shane was dumbfounded sa nalaman. Agad na nag init ang mukha niya at wala sa sariling tinungga ang bote ng alak sa tabi niya.

"Teacher, stop it. You'll get drunk." Awat pa sa kanya ni Drew at inagaw ang alak sa kanya.

"You! You brat..!" Hindi makatinging asik niya kay Drew. Pakiramdam niya ay bata talaga ang kausap niya.

Pulang pula ang mukha niya at hindi malaman ang gagawin.

Ngunit natigilan siya nang biglang hawakan ni Drew ang mga kamay niya. Gulat na napatingin siya rito.

"Teacher, you know what? Now that I'm looking at you. I think... You look like her." Anitong halos di makapaniwala.

"Ah..err..ha ha. Really?" Atubiling tanong niya.

"Yes." Agad nitong sagot at bahagyang hinaplos ang hibla ng kanyang buhok.

"Your hair is just like hers." Di makapaniwalang sambit nito at nagulat pa siya ng bigla nitong haplusin ang pisngi niya habang titig na titig sa kanyang mga mata.

"Your eyes were identical with hers. Whoaah..teacher, I think I am dreaming." Hindi makapaniwalang bulalas nito.

"Err...y-yeah.ha ha..right! This is just a dream. I'm not really your teacher coz I'm Shane. You're just dreaming right now. Ha ha!" Tarantang saad niya.

Bahagyang natigilan si Drew.

Napabuga naman siya ng hangin dahil sa pananahimik nito.

"If it's just a dream. Then..." Anito saka nakangiting tumingin sa kanya.

Ehh?? Why is he smiling like that..?

"...then, I'm not gonna restraint myself anymore. I like you Shane!" Anito. And after that her eyes widened when she felt his hand around her waist and the other grasp her chin.

The next thing she knew. Something soft and sweet was now conquering her lips.

Mr. Perfect!!!

Napakurap kurap siya at halos hindi makapaniwala sa nangyayari.

Andrew John Reeze. The cold hearted person she ever met was now kissing her passionately.

Ilang sandali pa bago natanggap ni Shane ang nagaganap.

She didn't pushed Drew.

If it's just a dream, then...let's just dream together.

She said in her mind and slowly closed her eyes and encircled her hand around Drew's neck and deepen the kiss.

Samantala...

Dahil sa sobrang kalasingan ay halos hindi na magawang imulat pa ni Cody ang mga mata niya.

Ngunit naramdaman niya na inihiga siya ni Jichell sa malambot na higaan.

"Jace..is dat you?" He said in a daze.

Nakangiti namang hinaplos ni Jichell ang cute na mukha ni Cody.

"Yes I'm here Cody Sean. Is there something you want?" Masuyong tanong niya rito.

Napangiti naman si Cody at tinapik ang gilid niya.

"Tabehan mo akoh.." Nakapout na anas nito.

"I will. I'm just gonna get a water to clean-!"

"No, I want you here by my side. Don't leave me babe." Anitong nagpacute.

Napahagikhik naman si Jichell saka bahagya itong hinalikan sa noo.

"You're so cute Cody Sean. If I were a human, I'll definitely marry you and have kids with you." Aniya rito.

Bahagya namang natigilan si Cody.

"Wat da yu mean? You're human, aren't chu?" Anitong napapapikit sa kalasingan.

Bahagyang napangiti si Jichell. Seeing Cody in his state. She thinks whatever she tells him he might not remember it tomorrow.

Kaya naman umupo siya sa bandang uluhan nito at marahang ipinatong ang ulo nito sa kandungan niya. She caress his cheeks and smile.

"My heart and half of my brain... was the only human part of my body. The rest are artificial." Aniya habang nakatingin sa namumungay nitong mga mata.

Bahagyang kumibot ang labi ni Cody.

"Wat are ya talkhing abawt?!"

Natawa siya rito. Ngunit maya maya ay napabuntong hininga siya.

"I envy you Cody Sean. You're weak, you're easily scared. You're nothing but just an ordinary human..."

Napaingos si Cody.

"Are ya insultingh mhe!" Anitong pinisil ang pisngi niya. Natawa siya rito saka hinawakan ang kamay nitong nasa pisngi niya. Iginiya niya ang kamay nito upang hinaplos sa mukha niya.

"...but you're nice, happy and free. You can love and be loved. You can cry and smile. You can feel anything. Because you're just a mere human. And you can do anything you want. Because you are human. That's why I envy you." Aniya rito.

Nakatitig lamang ito sa kanya na para bang naintindihan nito ang mga sinabi niya.

"Can you be my girlpren?" Anito saka bahagyang napangiti.

Natawa siya rito. "I can be whatever you want me to be Cody Sean. But I'm afraid that after a month. I have to leave you. And if it happens you'll just get hurt."

Mukhang hindi ito naintindihan ni Cody. Bahagya itong tumagilid at niyakap ang beywang niya.

"I like you Jace." Anito na halos pabulong lamang.

Napangiti siya rito.

"I like you too Cody Sean."

Bahagya itong natigilan ay tumingin sa kanya.

"Can I kiss you?" Anito.

Marahan niyang pinitik ang ilong nito.

"You don't have to ask, I can be yours tonight." Aniya saka tinawid ang pagitan ng mga labi nila.

Masuyo at magaan niya itong hinalikan. She smelled his scent. His scent was the sweetest scent she ever smelled after becoming a vampire.

She was a human. A simple girl who happens to be in a car accident together with Dr. Snyder's wife. She was a child of Dr. Snyder's friend who died in that accident too.

That was the time when Jack lost her mind after a year of running away with the russians and rampage the streets where their car's approaching.

Jack smashed the car which caused the death of Dr. Snyder's wife and her parents. Jichell was the only one left alive. And when she's about to die, Jack bit her neck and drink her blood.

She lost conciousness and when she woke up, she was in a different shell. And that's when she learned that she became a vampire and starving for blood.

Dr. Snyder treat her. Trying his best to revive her.

But for a new born vampire like her, she doesn't care for evrything except her hunger. She almost killed a person in the lab if it's not for Jack who was then calmed and concious again. But seeing Jack, she became furious.

Blaming Jack for eveything that's happening to her. If it's not for Jack, her parents wouldn't die. If it's not for Jack, she wasn't became a vampire, she wasn't hunger for blood and she wasn't suffering like a mad girl.

But at the end of the day, it's still Jack's blood who calmed her. For her, Jack's blood was the delicious thing she ever had. Especially the wargon blood.

Dr. Snyder explained that her body was severely injured. So in order to save her. He transferred her organs into the robotic shell which skin was nothing different with the human.

But she always hunger for blood and since Jack was still in a weak state after the rampage that almost kills everyone, Jichell made a decision to let Dr. Snyder decides for her life.

And that's when he turned her to a cyborg which all is left was just her heart and brain. But atleast she wasn't suffering for hunger anymore.

And now, there's a human who triggers her vampirism again.

Marahan niyang hinaplos ang mukha ni Cody.

"When I became a cyborg. I already accepted my fate. But having you right now. I couldn't wish anything but to be a human again. So, I could be with you and grow old with you, Cody Sean." She said and kissed him again while tears falling down her cheeks.

She knows that Cody Sean will never remembers what she said. But she will remember this night for the rest of her life.

She may be a cyborg.

But still once upon a time, she was just a simple girl.

A girl that suits with Cody Sean's taste.

If I were just that girl back then, will you still like me, Cody Sean?
