Chapter 73
ANTARTECES
"You have nothing to worry about, Antarteces, because you will have me."
As soon as he said those words it didn't stop echoing in my mind.
because you will have me...
because you will have me...
because you will have me...
How could he tell me not to worry about it? I am going to sell my soul into a devil and he have the guts to tell me that I should not worry about a thing? But if you would look at the picture and where I am now it is the most likely thing to say but for me it is not. Damn, I don't know how to think, what to think because of this. yes, of course I am parched in getting my dreams and live a simple life because somehow I am tied and I can't do it anymore. I can't take a focus on my dreams on what I wanted to be. My hobbies such as writing a novel because all of my times I spend it in school and in my part time jobs.
I have never imagined that I will grow choosing good and bad. I know I will be making a great sin and even though I despise the god above for giving me such a hard life , I am still afraid of my sentenced if however I will be gone in this land. Never in my entire life that I see myself dwelling and talking to a devil and despising the god above. I am selling my soul into the devil is now my great sin. But I now only have six days to think about it. Should I let the six days to take over my brain or should I decide now?
I looked at him from where he was standing and I can feel the hot liquid forming at the edge of my eyes so I averted my eyes on him instead I looked at the window again. Icy wind welcomes my eyes and I can feel the cold Christmas and on where my situation right now is in between the devil and committing a great sin in the day of Christmas Eve.
"I g-guess I have no choice. I want a life that every day that I have to wake up that I got no problems to think. On how to survive each day.On how do I have to pay for my tuition. I won't think about my monthly rent. I got to taste the food that I have been craving and I wanted. That I got to buy the pants that I always see in the mall that is on sale. The sandals that is on sale. I could buy a bread everyday in the bakeshop that I used to be my favorite. I got to sleep peacefully and lastly I have the chance to travel and find my parents," I stated and I can't help myself but to smile at those thoughts. yes, maybe right now he is thinking of how simple I want my life would be upon signing my soul into the contract.
I can't afford those things even though it is all in a cheap price but I couldn't wish for more . I am happy and contented if I will be able to live that life everyday and just picture myself waking up in my bed a sunshine welcomes me and took a sit on the balcony and reading my favorite book.
"T-thank you, b-but I can't take this and-" I was cut off by Cathy when she suddenly speaks up. The fours of us, Cathy is the silent one and when she talks she is serious.
"Antarteces, my dear, you are worth it. Consider this as an advance gift because your birthday is near now. You don't have to be so emotional all the time. And Lisa is right. If you are working please take care of yourself also. Do you want to be sick and just lay your butt here in apartment doing nothing? We know you, you will be gone crazy if you don't do chores or work your ass off just for the sake of money. We get it because you want to sustain it to your studies but please just don't forget yourself and your heath because that is your wealth dear, Antarteces," she said and all of us are looking at her in silence. Even Milena's mouth was hang open and also Lisa.
"Sorry for keeping you worry. I promise to take care of myself then," I smiled and Cathy smiled back and nodded.
"Okay! Enough of the drama and let's dig in!" Milena said and all of us laugh and eat.
Even though I lack of having a parents to support me. I am blessed of having them. I am happy but there is also a room inside of me longing for my parents touch but I know that I shouldn't bother them. I have to work and then one day maybe there will be a time that I got to pay them a visit even though they don't want too. I just want them to show that I am fine.
I somehow wanted to repay my friends that I have treated as my family. I want to repay their kindness and I don't want to become their burden all the time. So maybe I should consider this thing as an opportunity.
"You got no choice," he said and I can't help but to look at him and weakly nodded my head.
He was right I have no choice if I wanted to have a better life. Besides if I rejected this there will be no more second chances. It is a matter of life and death and there goes my deadline.
I sighed and somehow he looked surprise and I don't even know why.
"Tomorrow... please comeback tomorrow," I said and he may seem to learn what I am meaning into.
"Tomorrow is your birthday."
