Chapter 9: Temptation
THIRD PERSON'S POINT OF VIEW
TAHIMIK na nagmamaneho si Asmodeus, pabalik na sila sa Sitio at ilang minuto na lang ay mararating na nila ang tahanan kung saan siya nakatira. Saglit n'yang winaglit ang paningin niya kay Freya. Nakita n'yang nahihimbing ito kaya naman napangisi siya.
"I'll make your soul rot in hell." Bulong n'ya dito. He's been suffering because of her, 'yon lang ang alam niya. He was stupid for letting himself get fooled by the same person over different lifetimes. Na kahit na anong gawin n'yang pagri-risk at maging dasal sa Diyos na minsan niyang tinalikuran ay tila ba wala itong kwenta.
Since he chose to side with the fallen darkness, papanindigan na lang n'ya yon. Sayang naman kasi ang posisyon n'ya bilang isa sa 7 princes of hell if he will be the black ship of the royal satanic family diba? Natawa na lang siya sa kaniyang naiisip, it's funny how he never thought of that in the past hundred of years that gone through.
Matigas kasi ang ulo niya, napailing siya, thinking that Azazel was right. He was a pure Demon who chose darkness, yet he was weakened by Love. By the f*****g love that God has given all his creation.
Why of all Fallen one? Why of all evil? Bakit s'ya pa ang kailangan na paulit- ulit na saktan ng pag-ibig? Why does he always take the risk only to get hurt after?
Maybe because love makes you stupid. Love is not good at all, for him, it's one of the most stupid thing that God ever invented. It teaches you to be stupid over someone who would hurt you. It teaches you throw every nice thing in this world.
Napangisi na lang siya muli. "You made me suffer for hundreds of years. Now it's your time to shine..." He stopped the car para matitigan ng maayos si Freya. Hindi niya napansin na umangat na pala ang kaniyang kamay upang haplusin ang mukha nito. His red eyes showed, malinaw sa kaniya ang nais niyang gawin.
He wanted to lure her into sins and darkness. He wanted her name to be removed in the book of life, he wanted to live this time, and send her soul to the deepest of darkness. Yon ang gusto n'yang gawin, nakakatuwang isipin na sa mahigit pitong buhay na napagdaanan ni Freya. It always ended up with the same ending.
The same cycle where he will fall in love with her, take the risk and then get betrayed all over again. It seems like 'di na siya natuto sa ganoong sistema. Kaya ngayon, sisiguraduhin n'yang matututo na siya. He will give her what she deserves, what he thought and believe she should deserve. Hindi n'ya namalayan na unti- unti ng humihigpit ang hawak n'ya sa pisngi nito.
His red eyes showed, as if the evil in his soul has overcomes him.
"H'wag..." she pleaded. Kinabigla iyon ni Asmodeus, lumuwag ang hawak niya sa mukha nito. Checking if she's awake or not, he looked at her soft face. Tumulo ang luha sa mga mata ni Freya, the tears are streaming on her face. It's uncontrollable. The tears are made of pain and disappointment, it was full of regret.
He can see it because he is a Devil who can look through someone's heart. He tried to look at her past, but he can't see anything. It seems like the tears are coming from her dreams. A really bad dream.
"Hindi ko... gusto... pakiusap..." She's begging again. Umiling si Freya na tila ba nagmamakaawa, walang nagawa si Asmodeus kung 'di ang itaas ang kaniyang kamay at punasan ang luha nitong tumutulo gamit ang kaniyang daliri. Pinunasan niya ang luha nito, the anger in his disappeared. Lumalambot siya sa 'di niya malamang paraan. He knows that it's wrong, he knows that he is violating Heaven and Hell's rule once again.
He was surprised when Freya held his hand, "H'wag mo akong iwan... 'di ko sinasadya... ayoko!" she begged.
Napapikit s'ya at pilit na kumawala sa mga hawak nito. Biglang huminga ng malalim si Freya, senyales na nagising na ito. Nagkatitigan silang dalawa ng mga oras na 'yon. He was surprise to see the same look in her eyes. The same eyes that betrayed him is looking at him right now, looking at him with sincerity.
When Freya seemed to be awake ay agad n'yang pabalyang hinagis ang kamay ni Asmodeus. "Anong ginagawa mo sa akin ha?!" sigaw n'ya habang tinitingnan ang sarili niya. She checked if the Asmodeus touched her. Inikot ng binata ang kaniyang mga mata at saka prenteng naupo sa driver's seat.
"My God! Oh my God! Anong ginawa mo sa akin?!" muli n'yang tanong at saka niya pinunasan ang kaniyang mga luha. I dreamed again. She thought to herself at saka s'ya bumuntong hininga. Hindi na lang niya agad inisip iyon. Mas importante sa kaniya ang malaman kung ano ang kahambugan na ginawa sa kaniya ng demonyo sa harap niya.
"Do I look someone who will take advantage of you?" He asked her and he smirked. Inikot ni Freya ang kaniyang mga mata. "Sa tingin mo mukha ka bang mapangsamantala?" She asked him in a mocking way.
"I'm a f*****g innocent demon who doesn't know how to take advantage of a human being," he answered with sarcasm.
"You are a f*****g stinking demon! Don't fool me I know that you will take advantage of me!"
"Alam mo na pala e, why the hell are you still asking me?" He asked her back,teasing her even more.
"Urgh! Alam mo sumusobra ka na talaga e! Just wait until I find the way to send you back to hell!" giit n'ya kay Asmodeus. Ngumisi si ito sa kaniya, knowing that Freya is so innocent and that she won't have the strength to send him back to hell.
"You won't be able to send me back... A little girl like you, who moans under my touch will never send me back..." Sagot n'ya kay Freya at saka niya hinawakan ang pisngi nito.
"I-ill find a way," She said while stuttering.
"Should I be scared, or should you be tempted?" tanong n'ya rito. His lustful aura got Freya again, inilapit n'ya ang labi niya sa tainga nito. "Freya, you don't need to take me away from your life. You just need to embrace me and hold onto to my pleasure and temptation. I will be the greatest sin you can have. You'll have Aleister if you will hold onto me..."
"But you are not Aleister, you're using his body! You are taking him from his own body." He smirked. "I love Aleister, kaya dapat tanggalin kita sa katawan niya. Hindi ako papayag na masaktan mo siya."
"Nakakasawa na, ilang beses mo na ba 'yan sinabi sa akin? After that line my d**k always ends up buried inside your tight cunt." He remarked. Nainis siya ng madinig n'ya 'yon, she remembered her weakness. Ang mga nangyari kanina na 'di na niya napigilan pa.
Hindi niya mapigilan ang sumang-ayon sa kaniyang isip. This Demon is a temptation, he's a walking pleasure. And even though she was aware that this is not Aleister anymore, there was inside him that's telling her that she should embrace him.
"I'm gonna take you away from his body!" she threaten, at saka niya inilabas ang kaniyang holy water spray at tinapat 'yon kay Asmodeus. He chuckled darkly, kahit na natatakot siya sa burns na maari niyang matamo kapag pinindot ni Freya ang spray. He had a lot today, namumula na ang kalahati ng mukha niya ng dahil sa kaka-spray nito kanina. With Freya, he just need to smirk to have her blush for him and to kiss her just to make her knees bend.
"Your not gonna defeat me like that, Freya? Hindi mo nga alam kung paano labanan ang mga kasalanan na pinapagawa ko sa'yo." He said. Napailing si Freya, alam niyang mali ang paulit- ulit na pakikipagtalik sa masamang nilalang na ito. At alam niyang tama rin ito, na tama siya na hindi ganoon kalakas ang kaniyang will power para pigilan ito.
"Hindi I can find a way! I'm gonna have the chance and if I do, I'll condemn you!"
"You don't even know my name, Freya. How are you going to condemn me?" He asked her. Nanlaki ang mga mata ni Freya ng sabihin 'yon ng binata.
"Anong ibig sabihin mo?" She asked. Binaba niya ang kamay niya at saka siya lumapit dito. Kulang na lang ay gapangin niya si Asmodeus para makuha niya ang impormasyon na kailangan niya dito.
"You can send a demon back to hell by calling him on his name in the name of God. If you didn't do that. Well, sorry... You lost your chance." Giit n'ya kay Freya at saka niya ito hinila sa kaniyang lap. Napatili si Freya ng maramdaman niya ang kaselanan niya sa crotch ni Asmodeus. She was surprised and amazed to see him this hard for her. He chuckled sexily, making her stop from fighting against his touches. She stopped fighting his touches, instead she tried to shake off the magnetizing feeling that he was sending to her.
Para s'yang nahihila nito sa kawalan. With his every touch and every whisper, pakiramdam niya isa itong matamis na kasalanan. A sin that she would have all over again because of it's euphoric effect."So kapag nalaman ko ang pangalan mo, mapapaalis kita sa katawan ni Kuya Aleister?" she asked him.
He nodded at her. "So pwede ko bang malaman ang name mo?" tanong niya kay Asmodeus. He chuckled sexily at saka hinawakan ang thighs ni Freya. "Kung malalaman mo ang pangalan ko, there will be no fun."
"Then why the hell did you tell me that I need to know your name if I want you out?"
"So that I can have you like this?" sagot nito sa kaniya. His hand went on the strap of her dress, letting it fall on her shoulders.
"f**k you! You deceived me again, asshole!" sigaw n'ya rito.
He chuckled at her. "That's what I'm talking about. You won't be able to defeat me if you can't see the difference between temptation and deceiving?" He said.
"What I did to you is not deceiving. It's a f*****g temptation..." dagdag pa niya dito.
"Urghhh! f**k you!" muli n'yang mura.
"I would love to do that to you instead..." he whispered. Bahagya niyang tinulak si Asmodeus para makaalis sa piling nito. Dahil sa natutuwa na masyado ang binata sa pagiging pikon ni Freya. He let her free, she went back to the passenger's seat, she fixed herself and flushed face.
"If ever I'll tell you my name. You won't use it against me. You'll use it get f****d harder."

FREYA QUINN WESTWOOD
I WANT to f*****g kill him. I f*****g want! Gusto ko siyang saksakin kanina, if I only have a knife with me sana sinamantala ko na 'yon. This Demon had taken my innocence, maging ang kagustuhan ko na maging si Kuya Aleister ang lahat ng first ko. He just took it away, at ako naman si tanga ay naging mahina. I let him take me all over again, I know that Mom and Dad would be disappointed.
Ang talino ko pero nagpakatanga sa isang gaya niya. I should not have been blinded by my desire to be adore by Kuya Aleister. Sa sobrang kagustuhan kong mas mapalapit sa kaniya, the demon got a way to use it.
He is deceiving and bad. No, he's not a temptation. There's no way that his horns would be a f*****g temptation. Nakaka-attract lang siya dahil gamit niya ang mukha ni Aleister pero baka ang totoon itsura niya ay nakakadiri.
Napabuntong hininga na lang ako at saka inilapag ang bag ko sa sofa. Tumingin ako sa bintana at nakita ko pa siyang nakatingin kung saan ako nakapwesto. Aba, ang lalaking ito hindi pa lumayas. He winked at me kaya naman tinaas ko ang aking middle finger.
"My pleasure..." he said bago niya binuksan ang takip ng pintuan ng sasakyan niya and he got in. Giving his lips a lick before taking his sight off me.
How I wish that classes would start so that I can get away with him?
And how I wish I could make a way to have him away from Kuya Aleister's body. "Dumating ka na pala, Freya. How did your day with Aleister go on?" Mom's voice woke me up from my trance. Kasama niya si Daddy at may hawak silang baso ng gatas.
"Tiring," 'yon na lang ang aking sinagot.
"Halata nga at ginabi kayong dalawa. It's nice to see that you get along after the scene you made this morning." Mom told me. I faked a smile, I want to tell him that I'm not making the scene and that I'm telling the truth. There's a stinking demon inside his body.
"I know that it's dangerous to leave you alone with Aleister but this is the only way to help him heal. He doesn't deserve to have this kind of mental problem." Dad told me. I just faked a smile at them. I know that they won't believe me if I said that he have something inside.
Ganoon din naman sila sa aking mga panaginip, those realistic dreams and nightmares. Na para sa kanila ay isang sakit lang. Napapikit na lang ako, "I'm really tired, Mom and Dad. aakyat na po ako sa taas." Paalam ko sa kanila, they smiled at me at tuluyan na akong umakyat sa itaas at pumasok sa aking kwarto.
***
MY LIFE is at ease for five days, surprisingly, that Demon didn't come to me. I was able to make most of my week sa pamamagitan ng paglilibang ng aking sarili. Whatever happened to him, I don't care. Siguro ay nagpahinga muna siya sa saglit o 'di kaya baka tinantanan na niya ang katawan ni Kuya Aleister.
"Freya, hindi ka ba pupunta sa bukiran ngayon?" Dad asked me.
I smiled at him. Kada anihan kasi ay tumutulong ako sa aming mga tauhan para kumuha ng mga ani. It's my Dad's way to teach the appreciation of our business and our staffs. Hindi naman nahihirapan dahil nakalakihan ko na ang mga tauhan namin.
"Pupunta ako Dad. I will just get my hat." Giit ko sa kaniya. Tinapos ko ang aking almusal at saka ako pumunta sa aming bukid. I wore a blue off shoulder dress and a beautiful breton hat. Nagsuot din ako ng shades para mas madamdam ko ang sariwang hangin. I'm pretty sure that the staffs won't let me do heavy job. Baka mamaya ay papuntahin na naman nila sa tubuhan para doon na lang tumulong. Inikot ko ang aking paningin at nakita ko ang malawak naming mga lupain. Sa tabi ng aming bukiran ay ang bukid naman ng pamilya ni Kuya Aleister. Our families are considered rich in our Sitio but not super rich. My family and Kuya Aleister's family are known to be humble.
Alam namin ang realidad ng buhay. We are raised that way. That's why I believed that I am destined to be with Kuya Aleister. if that Demon didn't come on our lives then, baka nililigawan na ako Kuya Aleister o kaya baka hinihintay ko pa rin s'yang makabalik from Bulgaria.
Pagdating ko doon ay kita kong busy na ang lahat sa ginagawa nila, some are having their busy time at the tubuhan. "Good Morning po, Señorita Freya!" bati sa akin ng mga tauhan. Ngumiti ako sa kanila at saka bumati rin.
Nang makalapit ako ay napansin kong may mga babaeng nagkukumpol sa tubuhan. Ang ilan sa kanila ay nagbubulungan at saka nagtitilian. "Anong nangyayari doon?" I asked Manong Kardo, isa sa mga magsasaka doon.
"Kanina po kasi ay dumating si Señorito Aleister upang tumulong rito kasama ang pinsan niyang si Joey." Giit niya sa akin.
"What the hell?!" I cussed aloud.
Lumapit ako sa mga babaeng nakakumpol at nakita ko si Kuya Aleister na nagbubuhat ng mga tubo, pawis na pawis siya at seryoso sa kaniyang ginagawa. Tumatagaktak pa ang pawis niya sa hubad n'yang katawan. Kitang- kita ko din ang trace ng pawis niya sa kaniyang khaki shorts. Wala bahid ng demonyong 'yon ang kaniyang awra.
"Kuya Aleis..." I called him.
Tumingin siya sa akin. He smiled sweetly at me, "Freya..." He said binaba niya ang tubong buhat niya at kinuha ang sandong nakalapag sa bench, sinuot n'ya 'yon at lumapit sa akin.
Why does he need to wear it? he can come naked so that I can feast over his delic--What the actually faggot am I saying?
"Freya... kumusta ka na?" he asked me. Hindi ako nakasagot sa kaniya dahil mentally kong pinapagalitan ang sarili ko for being nasty over him. Damn, he is a demon, it's okay to be nasty if its kuya Aleister but this time, hindi! It's that stinking demon... remember?!
"Tungkol pala sa nangyari sa party. Sa mga ginawa ko, I'm sorry. I'm not myself that time. Hindi ko sinasadya. I'll understand if you get mad at me..." Giit n'ya sa akin.
"Are you really Kuya Aleister?" I asked him.
Nakita ko ang lungkot sa kaniyang mukha ng makita n'ya ako. I'm pretty sure that this is not that demon anymore. maybe he decided to give Aleister a break.
"Wow, bagay sila ni Señorita Freya diba?" Nadinig kong giit ng isa sa aming trabahador. "Oo nga, wala na tayong pag-asa. Mukhang mag nobyo pa sila ni Señorita." Sagot naman ng isa doon. Mga dalaga na sila at 'di rin nalalayo ang edad nila sa amin ni Kuya Aleister.
Tumingin si Kuya Aleister sa kanila bago tuluyang lumapit sa akin. His face was apologetic, hindi ganito ang awra ng demonyong iyon.
"What I did to you was terrible right?" He asked me. "I would understand if you're mad or even scared at me. I don't even deserve your forgiveness!" He said.
"Kuya... ikaw na nga 'yan!" I blurted out at saka siya yinakap ng mahigpit. Bumitaw din ako sa yakap and I checked him up. I made sure that the Demon didn't leave any marks of evilness on his body.
"Hindi ka galit sa akin?" He asked me. Tumango ako bilang sagot sa kaniya, "Oo, kasi alam kong 'di mo sinasadya 'yon. It's that stinking demon's fault!" I told him.
"Maraming Salamat at naniniwala ka sa akin, Freya." Giit niya sa akin at saka niya ako yinakap ng mahigpit. "Hindi ko alam kung anong gagawin ko kapag iiwasan mo ako. You're my only hope." Saad n'ya sa akin.
"Did the Demon already left you?" I asked him.
"I don't know, Freya..." sagot niya sa akin at saka siya kumawala. "I'm scared..." he whispered.
"Huwag kang matakot, I'll send him back to hell!" Matapang kong giit sa kaniya.
Humigpit ang kaniyang yakap sa akin, "how can you send me back to hell when I can easily deceive you with my acting skills?" His breathe lingered on my ears. Napapikit ako, sinubukan kong lumayo sa kaniya, I tried to push him pero sobrang dikit na niya sa akin.
"You Demon, you deceived me!" I gritted my teeth because of anger. Humiwalay siya sa akin at saka niya tinawanan na tila ba isa akong malaking biro. "See, ito ang dahilan kung bakit 'di mo ako matatalo, Freya. Kasi kayang - kaya kitang paikutin sa mga bisig. I can easily get my d**k buried in your tight cunt." he whispered. Binuhat n'ya muli ang mga tubo at saka kumindat sa akin.
"Ang sweet talaga nila!" muling tilian ng mga dalaga doon.
"I'll talk to you later, My dear Freya..." he said, licking his lips before turning his back. Napaawang na lang ang aking mga labi.
Damn it! I should have bought my Holy water spray with me.
What the hell!
