Chapter 14

Rhainne Jhammira Alethea Lopez

Nanatiling paring tahimik ang lugar na ito. Walang ibang ingay na maririnig kundi ang tunog mula sa aircon

Not until someone's phone rang

"Ma-mauna na kami. We still have class to attend"- paalam ni Jenaiah kasama si Rayla

I feel like I was stock sa kinatatayuan ko, ni hindi ko magawang tumingin, gumalaw, umalis, at mag salita. Kung bakit? Dahil sa nakikita ko ngayon.

"A-ako rin"- para akong huhugutan ng hininga sa bawat salitang binitawan ko. Why was I even affected by it?

"Ulan. Wala ka man lang bang gagawin?"- Amrielle said na nag patigil saakin

What should I do? Kailangan bang may gawin ako?

"Do I need to do something Amrielle?"

It was Prof Alvares who had so many wounds at pasa sa braso. Amrielle told us kanina na sinaktan daw ito ng fiance niya nung pagkapasok niya daw ay nakita niya itong umiiyak kaya pala natagalan siya. But I think it's none of our business if she's been beaten by her fiance

But why does it feel wrong, why does doing nothing feels wrong?

"You're being heartless again."- diin niyang sabi halata sa boses niya na siya ay galit.

"I'm not Amrielle. Hindi lang tayo ang tamang tao na dapat tumulong sakanya"

"I'll call ate"

"P-please wag"- pigil saakin ni Prof Alvares na ngayon ay nanginginig pa

Fuck. Bakit naawa ako sakanya?

Kung sino man ang fiance niya I wish he'll burn in hell.

"No one should know about this especially your Ate"- she said

I'm not really interested in this but in her situation it makes me

"Ah eh excuse me na. Exit na ko may klase pako bye"- and just like that kaming dalawa nalang ang naiwan dito. Punyeta ang awkward

"The best choice is to let Ate and your friends know it"

Hindi ko siya magawang tignan habang ginagamot ang pasa na galing mismo sa fiance nya.

"No. They shouldn't know about this"- pagpigil niya parin

Ano bang magagawa ko kung yan ang desisyon niya? It's her life naman and it's her choice if she's going to settle with a guy na sinasaktan siya physically.

"Why? Because you loved your fiance?"

"No. I don't love him or even like him"

I was shocked with her answer. May fiance ba na hindi mahal? or it's an arrange marriage

"Then why are you settling with him?"

"Because daddy wants me to."- malungkot niyang sagot, pero ang fuck up talaga

Gosh she let her dad demand her life? Bakit Tatay niya ba ikakasal don?

"Tsk. You're letting your dad decides who you're gonna be with for a lifetime. How funny is that"- I sarcastically said

What? Totoo naman e. Bakit niya hahayaang dad niya ang mag desisyon para sa buhay niya. Nag titiis siya sa taong hindi niya naman gusto. Nakakasakal yung ganon

She was about to speak when someone enter her office. It's a guy, a tall guy pero mukang mahina.

"What are you doing here?"- Prof Alvares

"Yana!"- he said pertaining to me as if ako si Yana

"We're having lunch with your dad aren't we? Sinusundo ko lang ang fiance ko"- dagdag niya pa

"So Yana bakit nandito ka sa office ni Allisha?"- tanong neto na parang ini-interrogate ako

"Why? Is there something wrong with that sir?"- I sarcastically answered him

Let's see kung hanggang saan nga ba ang pasensya mo para magawa mong saktan nang ganon si Prof Alvares

"Oh you know how to fight back now. Nakakaproud"- pang aasar niya. Play the game you started

"I always can fight back. I'm not weak for you to think that I can't"- I said and flushed a smile that makes him confused. Of course he'll be confused cause Yana doesn't have dimples but I have.

"Y-you're not Yana"- gulat na sabi niya

I smirked. I think I win

"You are hallucinating some things sir. You should be checked by a psychiatrist"- pang aasar ko pa

I want to see him in rage. I'm not satisfied by his face na ngayon namumula

I want more than that....

"You! Kahit kelan talaga lagi mong sinisira ang lahat"- he said while looking at me with his furious eyes at hinawakan ako sa braso ng mahigpit

Good job.

Pero ako? Lagi kong sinisira ang lahat? Pinag sasabe nito? Di lang pala siya sadista baliw rin pala to eh

This is what I'm waiting for

Now let's wait for Prof Alvares reaction

"Bitawan mo siya Sef"- she said at pumagitna

Damn girl.... like that....pigilan mo go with the flow....

Alam kong darating tong lalakeng to and I even know him. Sef Roise Flair for Flair family the family known for their business and the owner of Dé Flairé Corporation and Company. Sef Roise Flair the first born of the family and the heir. He has a sister Sefiera Rose Flair ang bunso, well dalawa lang silang mag kapatid. Maraming issue sa industry na kinabibilangan naming lahat so mahirap paniwalaan ang mga sabi sabi.

Pero bali balita daw na nag kakaproblema ang kumpanya nila ngayon kaya sila lumalapit sa mga Alvares. Kaya siguro sila pina arrange marriage ni Prof Alvares.

How stupid that plan is. Marriage is not the only solution for their family business to be saved

And to think na napapayag nila ang nag iisang Allisha Alvares. May kapatid naman si Prof Alvares pero kaya siguro siya ang ginawang puhunan ng Daddy niya is because she's the first among them. May kapatid siya which is si Keith Alvares and the other one was still unknown. Kidding hindi kasi ito masyadong nagkakaron ng public appearance unlike sa mga kapatid niya

So how do I know everything? Well let's just say that I didn't enter a war that I'm not prepared for.

"Bitawan mo siya Sef. Wag mo siyang idamay sa init ng ulo mo"- pag haharang niya ulit. Push her Sef.

And with that he lost his temper and pushed Prof Alvares.

Caught on cam. Bitch.

I smirked

I really won this one

"Ouch!"- I heard Prof Alvares said

Fvck, how can he be so reckless with her?

"She's not a punching bag for you to beat her like that"- I said in a monotone voice at lumapit kay Prof at tinulungan ko siyang makatayo.

Tinulak ba naman ng demonyo eh

"Magkaibang mag kaiba nga kayo ng kapatid mo. Pag nakikita niyang ginagayan ko si Allisha she's afraid but you? you're different. May lakas ka ng loob"- he said while grinning at me

Kala niya kinagwapo niya yon

Kasuka

"Stop this nonsense so boring na. Let's go Prof Alvares"

"And where do you think you're going?"- pag pipigil pa nito

Ano ba yan?!

Kanina pa nakakabored na!

"To the moon"- pang aasar ko

Dami niya pa kasing drama sa buhay hindi niya nalang kami paalisin eh no.

Tinignan ko ang relo ko para asarin siya na kunwari bored nako pero ang totoo bored na talaga ako

"Ano? Aalisin mo ba kamay mo o hindi?"- naiinip kong sabi

Aba ayaw talaga. Hinila ko si Prof Alvares sa likod ko at hinawakan ang kamay ni demon at hinila ito papunta sa likod niya at sinipa ko ang paa niya dahilan para mapa luhod siya. Deserve.

"Hayst so weak. Let's go na po Prof baka mag kasakit pa tayo dito dahil may isang malaking bacteria dito"- I said at hinila ko si Prof Alvares palaba well iniwan lang naman namin si demon don na namimilipit sa sakit, tapang tapang di naman pala kayang pumatol sa kasing lakas niya. Oh wait mas malakas pala ako sakanya

"S-saan tayo pupunta?"

"Sa moon nga"- sagot ko

"I-Ikaw ba yan?"- gulat niyang tanong

I want to laugh because of her reaction.

I bit my lower lips para pigilan yung tawa ko. I'm still a human and I know how to laugh no

(Author: oh bat defensive ka?)

Lol author

"Yes? Do I look like I am not?"- I said kaya naman napangiti ito revealing her dimples, kasabay non ang naramdaman kong pag pisil niya sa kamay ko? kanina ko pa pala hawak kamay niya....

Holding hands while walking.....oh issue

"Hatid na po kita sa bahay niyo. You should rest, I know you're tired already."

I feel like I am not in myself right now. Like why do I even care about her?

Hindi ako mahilig mangelam sa mga bagay na labas ako and I'm confused by my sudden actions. I can't control myself.

"I don't want to go home"- she said

Napakunot naman ang noo ko

"Why?"

"I'm s-scared."

"Of what?"

I'm curious

Nandito kami ngayon sa kotse ko at hindi pa kami nakakaalis dahil hindi ko alam saan siya dadalhin dahil ayaw niya umuwi sa bahay nila at natatakot daw siya.

"Everyone. I'm sure sa mga oras na to alam na ni Daddy ang nangyari kanina and I'm sure he wouldn't like it. I have my own house naman b-but I don't want to be alone"- she sadly said

What now? Saan ko siya dadalhin?

"Fine. Sa bahay ko nalang. My friend treats you as their Ate so I think they'll be happy to see you there"

Ano bang ginagawa ko?

Hindi ko na rin alam. Bakit parang pag dating sakanya natutunaw yung walls na binuild ko sa matagal na panahon

Bago kami makaalis natanaw ko ang Propesora na hindi ko pinasukan ang klase. She stared at me with her cold eyes at parang anytime she'll kill me. Kung nakakamatay lang ang tingin ay siguro namatay na ako.

Nakita niya kaming mag kasama since hindi naman tinted yung kotseng gamit ko.

She walks out at parang mag dadabog. What's wrong with her? I just didn't attend her class.

___

"We're home!!!!!"- sigaw ni Amrielle pano ko alam? Siya lang naman mahilig sumigaw ng ganyan kahit walang tao sa bahay. May lahi yang baliw eh

"Ang bango naman ng niluluto mo Ulan"- she said at lumapit sa kitchen kung saan nandito ako

"Wow this is the first time I see you cooked Filipino food"- she said

Bakit hindi? I'm Filipino. Apat na buwan na rin naman kami dito sa Pilipinas at nasasanay na ako sa pag kain dito. I'm just cooking Adobo nag luto rin ako ng Pork Steak. Hindi ko parin maintindihan pinag kaiba ng dalawa. Alam niyo ba kung ano?

For dessert I just made a mango graham. Wala pang pasko pero trip ko eh

Nag hiwa rin ako ng fruits. Bakit ba mahilig ako sa fruits eh

"You didn't attend the 2 subjects"- Jenaiah said

"Just give me notes, babasahin ko"- I said at pinag patuloy ang paghain

Gabi na kasi dapat uwian namin ngayon but since di na nga ako pumasok ay mas maaga ako nauwi

"Mag bihis na kayo don at kakain na tayo"- pagtataboy ko sa dalawa....asan si Rayla?

"Where's Rayla?"

"Kanina pa umakyat"

I didn't even notice her. It's new, nagmamagaling ba siya?

Hindi rin naman nag tagal ay bumaba na ang tatlo.

"Kainan na!!!!"- alam niyo na kung sino yan, no other than Amrielle

"Wait."- I almost forgot na nandito pala si Prof Alvares

"Huh?"- sabay sabay na sabi ng tatlo at tumingin saakin

"Just wait for a minute aakyat lang ako"

Pag kababa ko ay gulat ang pumalit sa mata nila

"OMG! Ate Allisha? What are you doing here? Marunong kana ULIT mag uwi ng tao Ulan?"- alam na alam niyo na talaga sino yang OA n ayan. Bwesit to si Amrielle pinangalandakan pa yung ulit

Hindi ako nag uuwi! I never did that.... except to....hayst what I was even thinking

"It's obvious AMRIELLE! and can you stop being OA. Dito siya matutulog ngayong gabi so shut up"- I said and rolled my eyes on her

"Weh? Totoo ba? You're not joking?"- Rayla

Do I look like a fool? Gosh these people are unbelievable

"Just eat and shut up. Ang dami niyong tanong"

---

"Oi nood tayo dali! Maaga pa naman"- you know who it is, Amrielle.

"Ate Allisha let's watch po bilis"

Gosh why does she have to be so makulit all the time

"Amrielle baka pagod siya"- minsan may pagka isip bata din yang si Amrielle

"KJ ka lang. If you don't want to watch then don ka sa far away"- pagtataboy niya sakin I just rolled my eyes at umalis na.

Kala mo naman siya nag babayad ng kuryente!

What if I turned off the switch ng kuryente, joke

May pupuntahan nga pala ako. Hayst tama yan manood nalang sila kesa sumama sila saakin

Pagkapasok ko ng kwarto dumiretso ako sa closet at kumuha ng damit. I just wear black pants, black t-shirt at pinatungan ko ito ng black leather jacket. All black para di makita sa dilim

Kinuha ko na yung susi ng kotseng gagamitin ko at bumaba na rin.

"Oh did you change your mind? Do you want to watch"- Amrielle said habang nakatalikod lakas talaga ng pandama netong babaeng to. Humarap sya, shock was written on her face.

"Where are you going Ulan?"- tanong niya ng bumalik siya sa wisyo

"None of your business, I think"- sagot ko para asarin siya. At nag lakad na ako palabas

"Hoy saan nga!"

"I'll be back. Bye"- sigaw ko pabalik para manahimik na siya

__

"BR you're here?! King!"- makasigaw naman tong si Kai kala mo nakakita ng multo

"What now Kai, you're so loud and I'm starting to be deaf"- I said while walking towards the meeting room

"Ang OA mo naman! Ganyan ba kaOA mga tao sa ibang bansa?!"- he's funny

Kai is a man pero hindi halata kasi makulit siya. Well I just met him because King introduced me to him a long time ago.

"Shut up. Just walk maybe the other leaders are waiting for us"- I said

When we arrived, I'm right kami nalang yung wala. Kadaldalan kasi inuna netong si Kai eh. Minsan sarap pusakan ang bunganga eh

"Glad you came. So we are complete the infinite are complete. Nandito na po ang UNO ko I mean Uno natin"- he proudly said while looking at me. Who wouldn't be proud of me? I'm very proud of myself for gaining this throne.

"So let's start. I call you because of the upcoming clan war. It's a threat that the empire is facing right now. Some clans are giving threats to us"- he stopped

Clan war? Really? Again? Bakit ba lagi nilang tinagarget ang Empire? Maganda ang pamamalakad sa Empire? They really want us down porket isa ito sa mga makapangyarihan at malakas na organisasyon sa loob ng Underground.

"One of our bases reported an attack and that happened last night. So I want everyone to be prepared in case your HQ is gonna be attacked and I want you all to train since it's better if we will have training. Uno I want you to lead the training. Ikaw ang inaatasan ko na magtrain sakanila. I know you very well and I know your capabilities so I trust you on this one. That's all you may now go and please inform your members"- he said

I wasn't surprised after all. Nangyari na to dati. It happened already when I was in Japan. Inambush kami but masyado kaming magaling para mahuli at mamatay ng ganon na lang. Mauuna sila bago ako.

......

I arrived at home safely buti naman dahil wala ako sa mood makipag laban ngayon.

Tahimik na ang bahay siguro ay dahil tulog na rin ang mga tao
