All Chapters of AZRAEL: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

I feel so amazed that I walk in the city again and of course with Michael. After the nights that I became a watcher to the humans and the lost souls. Now I am in the city again feeling the hot sun touching my pale skin but it didn’t make me feel hot. I know it’s hot but I can’t feel it anymore but even though I can’t feel it. I feel like human again, I feel like normal again. Seeing different people busy walking in the streets. Looking at their serious faces thinking for the material thing and that is how to earn money or how to make the income bigger. I am like them before but now I learn something about life that I will not learn if Maria didn’t fool and robbed me. The aroma from the coffee shop excites me. It energize me but it didn’t interest me at all. I saw people busy with their day. Some are rushing to work while others are tired and excited to go home. They are night shift people who usually work at night.

“Isaac” The voice of the woman called me and it gently echoed and faded. Until it was gone. I looked around and found no one calling me. I know it is not Tania because it is not her voice and it is not Michael either. The sky is grey and it is thundering. It’s a good thing that the hard rain has already stopped. I am wondering what Tania is doing right now and who is calling me?“Isaac”“Isaac”“Isaac”The voice keeps on calling me again, repeatedly. It is just like an echo that keeps on bouncing. I walk to find the voice who is calling me but I was surprised that I am no longer inside my apartment. I am in a forest and I heard different voices

Tonight is the night. I went to Roman’s house with Victor. I know he is scared but there’s nothing to be afraid of because I am here for him. After minutes of flying around. I found him in his resort in Batangas and he looked so calm, watching a movie in his mini-theater. The place is so quiet. The only things that I can hear are the waves of the sea and the sound of the movie that he is watching. He is having a brandy too and he is so relaxed as if he didn’t kill a poor boy. I can say that Roman is a lonely man. Even he is living a life that everybody is dreaming of. No wife, no children, no family. I saw his dog unease, looking around and trying to find us. The dog can feel our presence but it can’t see us. His dog barks at us and he just shouts to the dog to keep quiet because he is watching. He doesn’t want to be disturbed by the movie that he is watching. He is sitting on a couch like a lazy potato and he doesn&rsquo

I think of what Michael told me that I don’t need to be emotionally attached to humans. They are sucking up my energy but how can I not be attached? I am a human too and seeing them hurt also hurts me. I know some humans might just use me like what my ex-wife, Maria did but I know humans are not the same and I still believe that most humans are good and only some are bad. Michael said that to lose the white smoke is to be fast. Like I need to get the target first before he gets mine and I will do that next time. He defeated me once and he will never defeat me again. If ever we will meet again. I will never let him win over me anymore. No more another Victor and I promised that to myself.As I walked in the busy city of Manila. I saw a red balloon tied to the bench. I looked around to see who owns it but I saw no one. That is why I untied it and found the girl who is selling me Sampaguita a while ago

“Hurry,” I said and she took her children in an instant. Without an idea of what I am saying and where we are going. She carries Dustin while I carry Anna and without a word. We went to the Mayor’s political gathering even though she didn’t have a complete idea about what we were going to do here. We waited backstage for the mayor to go down. The guard wants us to leave and wait at the front stage but I told them not to leave because I need to talk to the mayor. I remember what Michael said that I don’t need to be attached to humans but here I am. I hypnotized the guard to let us stay and leave us alone. We are waiting for the Mayor to finish his speech and go backstage where we are waiting. I heard Dustin cry. Maybe he is not comfortable already because of the crowd and the noises that make him exhausted. I put Anna down and carried him and I tried to calm him down, but he was still crying. Finally, the mayor went down.
