Chapter 77
ANTARTECES
"I have been here calling your name and you were there out of space looking at the stars and the moon. I was calling you and then maybe you got out of your internal thoughts and then you heard me."
So he had been standing there the whole time now. Maybe I was just too occupied and haven't felt his presence.
"Sorry, is there anything that you like? Do someone like you also eat and drink?" I seriously said and not having any harm words in it. I don't have the mood to being sarcastic and I don't have the energy.
"Yes, we do. We also live like you. We eat, drink and go to wherever we wishes. The only difference is that we really don't get starve so fast, we don't really need sleep but I do sleep it keeps me to think straight every day and I needed that," he said and I was somehow surprised because he is serious in telling me those thing not even a single tone of sarcasm.
I nodded as I don't know what to respond by that. I took two glasses and pour some milk in it. Get a box of cookies that I bought in the market. This is the food that I have prepared for this night and nothing more. But however I am happy with it and I like it. I gestured him to sit and so he did. He pulled a stool and seated, looked at the glass of milk and then to the three cookies in his small plate. This cookies are the best that was made in history for me. It is so tasty and has more chocolate toppings in it. A perfect combo of the milk and cookies. I smiled and sip a drink of the milk. This is just simple but this is the food that calms and gives me comfort.
I looked at him expecting that he will somehow complain of the food that I am going to offer but it even surprised me when he was already eating it and what's more is that he is closing his eyes while chewing the cookies and the milk in his glass in now in half. Boy, he doesn't look hungry in that situation huh.
"Where did you buy this cookie?" he said as he wave the cookie in front of me and still chewing.
"Purple Glass Bakeshop just across the street," I answered and I was mesmerized by a devil eating such an innocent food.
He nodded and still chewing and also drinking his milk. "I am going to visit that bakeshop and order all of this bake cookies," he said and nodded like he had plans before him. I didn't expect that this guy in front of me, a devil, is a fan of eating sweets.
"Hey, you don't have to do that. You can buy some but not all of it. There are many people out there like me who is also watching for that cookies huh, so let's share," I said as I slowly understand every words he blurted out. Not my cookies.
"Do I look like I care?" he said and tossed the milk and covered his mouth to burp.
I wanted to smack him but I am stopping myself not too. Remember, Anta, he is a devil and whatever you will do to him will get back to you.
"Two hours left and your birthday is here," he said which makes me look at the clock. He is right, two hours left and then it's my birthday.
What's more funny is that the day that I hated the most since then s also the day that I was born so maybe all of this is the trademark of hates.
"You don't have to hate so much your life kitten. You don't know much of the life you are standing right now. Yes, maybe I don't know you background and maybe your life. What you have struggled in your daily life but let me tell you this, be grateful of all the things in your life," he said and I was there dumbfounded and thinking if he is a natural devil or what.
"I know what you are thinking right now and also me right now is regretting just what I have told you. But seeing you hating yourself so much is an eyesore. I was once an angel and guiding people in the right path. Following all the rules and I was the most known angel above there but one day I was neglected and even today I can't seem to remember the reason why. All I know by then that I was a devil and here I am now in front of you offering a contract of your soul that I despise back then," he chuckled and look outside. I can see that there was so much pain in his eyes. But I don't know if he was somehow telling me the truth or making such stories but what can he get from making stories?
"I know you are doubting me regarding from what I have said, And I am not forcing you to believe in me. It is all up to you and I am just sharing."
So if I put it that way that he was back then an angel and now a devil. It must be a painful fly for him. An angel into a devil. He was a fallen angel.
"Do you feel emotions?" I asked wanting to know if they have.
"Yes, devils do but as an angel we don't have. It was funny but it was true and I don't even know why. I may know the description on how and why's but I really want to know the root of it. I want to know why not only because of the words it said in the book but I want to know why. Do you know what I mean?"
"Yes, I know what you felt," I whispered and there our eyes were locked into each other.
