the devil in her dreams by jasmine

“Maaari ko bang isangla muna sa iyo ang kwintas na ito kasama ng singsing ng aking mommy?” Anya ng pitong taong gulang na batang babae sa isang lalaki na nakapikit habang nakasandig ang ulo sa sandalan ng upuan sa isang waiting area ng hospital. Seryosong tumitig ang 20 years old na binata sa isang munting bata sa kan’yang harapan. “Alam ba ng mommy mo na isinasangla mo ang ang wedding ring niya?” Seryosong tanong na hindi maalis ang tingin sa mala anghel na mukha ng bata. “Ang sabi ng doctor ay kailangang maoperahan si mommy, pero wala akong pera, hindi mo naman siguro ipapaalam kahit kanino na sinangla ko ito sayo, di’ba?” Malungkot na sagot nito, bago matapang na sinalubong ng batang babae ang mga mata ng lalaki. “Paano kung kukunin ko ‘yan, paano mo ito matutubos sa akin? Hindi ako tumatanggap ng pera.” Seryosong pahayag ng lalaki. Saglit na nag-isip ang bata na wari mo’y naguluhan. “Kukunin ko ‘yan at sasagutin ko ang operasyon ng mommy mo pero sa isang kondisyon, magiging akin ka at pagtuntong mo sa tamang edad ay ikakasal ka sa akin. Kung hindi ka tutupad ay hindi ko babalik sayo ang kwintas at ang singsing ng mommy mo.” “Pumapayag po ako.” Inosenteng sagot nito. ————— Isang batang babae ang nakipagkasundo sa nag-iisang tagapagmana ng pamilyang Smith, si HARRIS SMITH.
