Ashey could NOT contain the emotion. She simply wiped the tears from her eyes, before they finally passed. What Adan revealed to them was clearly the secret experience of her student Therese Nuevo, her fiancée's niece. That even Randall, her uncle, has no idea to what happened to her. Randall was too busy on the farm and Adolfo's family split up and went to Manila. And Randall told him that the family that he had was not really close to each other.
Ashey couldn't help but ask herself why is that? Who else are the animals and monsters that live in the world are they even luckier? It is also inevitable that Ashey will suffer from the pain caused by the absence of her parents since they took her to the surface world ...
"I-If there was a way, I would have apologized to Therese, Teacher Ashey. I---I don't want to die, especially in the same way she killed Dad," Adan's face reflected worryness, really.
Worryness and making sure that the killer will follow suit, as soon as possible ...
"I'll be honest with you now, Adan. I don't know if I will say sorry for your father's death," Ashey said emphatically to the student. Because for her, Adan's father's death was just right for him.
She would admit, Therese did a great job-- if she's really the killer --- that way. That just suits to the monster that hiding as a good teacher. That reward is not enough.
"I understand, 'Cher where are you from."
"Me too, I'll be honest with you. We don't know how we're going to help you," this time Xian spoke.
That's the truth. Xian had already tried to call Therese's soul, but he failed again to call her and talk to her. Only in that way could they help Adan --- To save him from the imminent death he believed in. But sadly, nothing happened even when Ashey herself tried to call Therese. They are already researching the spirit of the glass, in extreme desperation. Just in case they can call and talk to Therese.
"Apology comes from within. There is no need for anything else, there is no need for an answer from the person you are asking for forgiveness. Proverbs 15: 1: A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger, "said the newly arrived angel, Azraelle. He peeked into the open laptop as they talked to Adan.
"How's your walk?" Randall stumbled into the field for a moment.
"Where are you from, Azraelle?" Xian's scolded, which just raised Azraelle's eyebrow.
"None of your business," the angel replied rudely.
"Woah, I'm just asking!" Xian starting to annoyed the angel of death.
If the angel was cursing, he would have cursed Xian for his meanness.
"Clearly, Therese had a severe mental illness that got worse because she didn't get treatment right away and didn't get the right treatment --- that's love and care," Azraelle said it in a tone of matter factly.
"Yes, and her own mother also hates her. I heard before that her mother, Almira also told to her that she inherited her craziness from her father."
"Aunt Almira is also crazy" Randall said suddenly. They all focused their eyes on it, "Yeah. Also Uncle Arnulfo. All of them. I lived with them when my parents just died. Aunt Almira and Uncle Arnulfo both worship I dunno what that statue. A saint with one eye. Uncle Arnulfo and Aunt Almira also had an affair.
"Ah, Adan, where are you?" Ashey asked her student.
She knew that Azraelle would say something to them so it would be better for her to say goodbye to Adan for a while. Well, because Adan did not know that Azraelle was an angel.
"I went out of the house for a while with the laptop, why? Our dog is making a noise. I really don't want to go out and I'm the only one here now. But I have to look into the reason for the loud bark of dog --- "
"Oh my, God!" Ashey only said that, because after Adan said that, suddenly someone pulled his neck!
SHE WAS already hiding in the acacia tree that was the design of the Martinezes' house. Maybe it's been half an hour. That acacia has been standing there for a long time. So, she was there now she was just waiting for the opportunity. For the latter she will kill. For her perpetual silence.
This is her chance to kill Adan James Martinez ...
"Mother, it's still deep here!" She complained mentally. Then she was decided to go down the tree.
She will not take the mosquito. They are harassing her.
Anyway, it's getting dark so it's really deep. Add to that the fact that the lawn of the Martinezes' house is really full.
It's just that there was a dog there. She landed exactly on the ground, and it started barking. The dog disturbs the silence of the night. This dog should also be quiet ...
"I went out of the house for a while with the laptop, why? Our dog is making noise. I really don't want to go out and I'm the only one here now. But I have to look into the reason for the loss of dog --- "
But how can the dog be the mute witness ...
Because his boss is already there ... He has already beaten in her eyes ...
"TONIGHT will be your death!" She whispered to Adan James Martinez.
The beast son of the monster Adam James Martinez. If he thinks he is acquitted of what has been done to her, he is mistaken.
"Akk ---" Adam couldn't breathe as someone strangled him. From behind him it wrapped its arms around his neck.
He let go of the laptop he was holding. And he tried to untie the arms that wrapped around him.
"Still-- I'm sorry ---"
"Ask God for forgiveness, Adam. Because you are your motherfucker, until the end, you are clearing your name. You will not even admit to everyone the misery that your father inherited from you!"
Adan was sure now, that he was at the end of his life tonight. He was sure because he knew the killer. He knew that voice!
When that particular nursery rhyme sounded, as if it was really intended as a signal to the killer --- because that ringing was coming from their neighbor, Adan prayed in his mind ...
"SHIT!" Randall was already struck by his horn with great annoyance. He then rolled down the window of his car and peered at the cause of the traffic.
When you are really in a hurry, then you really get stuck in a traffic jam. And it's not just simple traffic, said the Grab Food Riders who entered the crowded cars on that road, there was a collision at the end so traffic. Fvck shit. 'When you're lucky again!
"That's okay, Ran, Azraelle is already go first there, anyway" Xian whispered to them.
"Is that him?"
"The angel has the power to teleport. The only reason he couldn't teleport when Fatima Bataller was killed was because there were a lot of people at the funeral home at that time. Then Azraelle said, the powers of people like them weaken when they get together. "They're really on earth. Of course they have a task, and then they gossip when they come here to the human world. So, their powers have an end," Xian beamed. He seemed comfortable to the idea that Adan would not die.
Randall just sighed. Then he turned to Ashey who was fervently praying beside him in the passenger's seat. When he stared at her for a moment, he turned and kissed her on the back of her palm.
Ashey learned to believe in God. She has learned to trust God, finally.
Just the lightness of the heart. It's easy because she can do it at the same time by asking God to give them a long time together ... Randall just secretly smiled at those who ran through his mind.
Well, life is so cruel. Someone is dying, someone is being killed. Some suffer and stil will suffer before the end of theiife. Someone gets to know when it’s time of suffering, someone like them and Ashey, who met, fell in love, when the scene you’ll just ask isn’t real. It's just bitter, isn't it? You can even beat the five kilos of ampalaya if you think about it.
Maybe the things that are happening are fixed and Ashey has a connection to them ...
Therese has a connection to Ashey.
He has a connection to Therese.
And more important of all, Ashey’s killer has a connection, to the two of them.
This is just the beginning. From the very beginning, Randall felt. Because they haven't even started searching for Ashey's body yet. Though, Ashey’s extension into the world of lives is grace. He believes. He believes. God has mercy...
"I love you."
"I love you, Ran, till death do us apart."
