They absolutely love the color black. Yun ang masasabi ko. Paglabas namin sa club ni Madam Rene ay nakita ko ang nakahilerang kotseng itim sa parking lot sa harap ng building. Limang kotseng itim at halatang mamahalin.
"Y-Yung mga gamit ko.."
"We'll buy your things. Don't worry. And I'll have someone pick up your things in that place." he smiled at me.
"Kilala mo ba ako, Sir Beelzebub?" Diretsong tanong ko.
"Yes and No." he smiled at saka pinaandar ang kotse.
"Huh?" takang napatingin ako sakanya.
"We will talk more when we arrive at home. Okay?" he smiled at me then looked at the road.
It's still early so he decided we buy some of my stuff sa mall. It's almost 8pm and the mall is obviously packed with shoppers.
Nagulat ako ng makita si Chia at Lucifer na naguusap sa likod namin pagkapasok sa mall. Mukhang nagkakamabutihan sila. Mula sa malayo ay nakita ko si Asmoday, Ba'al at Eros na nakasunod din.
Napatingin ako uli kay Ba'al ng kunin nya ang isang bike na nakadisplay. Kumapit ako sa sleeves ng coat ni Beelzebub.
"Uhh.. Sir? Your friend.. Sir Ba'al just took a bike that is on display.. Is it okay?" kinakabahang tanong ko.
"Yeah. Let him be." he answered and went straight to a botique. He called the attention of one of the sales ladies.
"Hello. Please find clothes suitable for her. Casual, formal. Anything in between. Footwear." He said.
"Do you especially like women in dresses or pants?" tanong ng babae. Napapatingin nalang ako sakanila. Uhh.. Pinaguusapan nila ang isusuot ko?
"I don't actually care. As long as she's comfortable, it's fine with me." Beelzebub sat in the comfortable couch in the store.
Yumukod ang babae at niyakag na ako sa fitting room. Habang nagiikot kami ay panay kuha nya ng mga damit. Dresses, shorts, skirts, blouse, some formal many casual clothes.
"Miss, gusto mo ba ng mga casual kesa formal?" she asked me with a smile on her face.
Namula ako. "Oo sana. Pero baka kailanganin ko ng formal. Tama na ata ang isa o dalawa nun. Di ko alam. Magiging katulong lang naman nya ako.."
"Katulong? Girl, this man buying you stuff is not some ordinary man. At kung katulong ka man, why would he go to such extent na ipamili ka ng ganito? You are special." Pahayag nitong nakangiti. "Maybe he is inlove with you." she added. Saka iniabot ang isang pares ng damit sakin.
"K-Kilala mo b-ba sya?" clueless na tanong ko habang nagsusuot ng damit.
Napakunot ang noo ng babae. "Kahit sa kulungan kilala ang lalaking yan. San ka naman galing?"
"Sa club ni Madam Rene. Sir Beelzebub saved me.. And my friend.." I answered.
"Oh. But he never save people, sweetheart." iniabot nya uli sakin ang mga damit na isusukat ko. Natigilan ako. "Here. Wear this and show it to him." she smiled deviously. May plano ata sya. Nagpatianod ako. Napangiti ako ng makita ang kulay berdeng tulle greek style dress. May ipinakita sya saking silver laurel wreath para sa buhok at arm bangle na silver din. May kwintas din na silver na parang sign na di ko alam. Yung hikaw ay silver din at hugis star. Everything is so pretty.
"Bagay sayo lahat yan. You have a very beautiful body and face. Effortless ang lahat ng gagawin mo pero gaganda ka agad walang duda. Maganda ka nang dati, wear this sandals."
Simpleng gladiator sandals ang isinuot nya sakin. I feel like a goddess. She opened the door and led me in front of Sir Beelzebub.
"Is this right for you sir? Should I get some other designs for her forma--" the sales lady said, ngunit mabilis na tumayo si Beelzebub at nilapitan ako. Nahagip ko ang nakakalokong ngiti ng saleslady. Whuuut?
"She.. She is perfect."
Nanlaki ang mata ko ng hawakan nya ang bewang ko. Sobrang lapit nya.
"Sabi ko na nga ba. I'll prepare the clothes, sir." Napangisi ang babae at iniwan na kami.
"You really do look like her.." He said. Amazement still in his eyes.
"S-Sino po?"
Ipinilig nya ang ulo. "Wala. You look perfect." he smiled at me.
"Salamat po. Magpapalit na po ako. Okay lang po ba?"
Tumango sya.
He saved me because I looked like his special someone, I guess. Having thought of it kinda hurts. Why?
"Don't think to much, sweetie. " she patted my shoulders and went to Beelzebub at inilapag ang ilang bags ng pinamili.
Lumapit na ako sakanila at magalang na nagpasalamat.
"Let's go. You haven't had dinner yet, do you?" He said. I nodded.
"Pareho kami ni Chia.."
"You really do care for that girl." He commented while getting his phone on his coat pocket. He dialled some numbers and spoke.
"You've gone home? Alright. Have the chef prepare dinner for everyone. Have the old man come. or not. Not a feast. Not now. Yeah. In time though. Yes. Prepare for us. Me, you, Innana, Chia, the three stooges. Uh huh. We're going home. Yeah. Right now. See you later." Then he ended the call.
"Were going home. Nagpapahanda na ng dinner si Lucifer. Let's go." He held my hands and took the bags. I felt something when he touched my hand. Some pictures came flashing on my mind. Bigla akong napatigil. Some in my dreams flashed. Masyado ko atang dinamdam ang mga panaginip ko. I must've wanted to be that woman so bad, unconsciously. Pati sa oras na gising ako ay naiisip ko iyon.
Okay, Innana, ano yun?
"Are you okay?" He asked. Napatingala ako sakanya.
"O-Opo." Napailing ako. I must be hungry.
He smiled at me. "Alright. Let's go." Hinawakan nya ako sa siko. Crush ko ba ang amo ko?
Agad agad, Nana? Pwede hinay hinay? Lalaki yan si Sir Beelzebub. Gaya din sya ng mga customer sa club ni Madam Rene. Yan ang lagi mong dapat isaisip
