Ganther Uries Neric Asuncion Point of view
"Welcome home, young master." My butler greeted me as I went out to the car. Nginitian ko 'to na sinagot n'ya rin naman n'ya nang isang ngiti.
"Son," Isang mahigpit na yakap ang sumulubong sa 'kin sa pagpasok ko sa entrance ng mansion. From behind I saw my dad staring at me and to my mom with a blank expression. I give him smile that made his blank expression fade and change into terrified one. Mabilis itong tumalikod na parang walang nakita.
"How's your school son? May nanakit na naman ba sa 'yo?" She examined my body to check for bruises. Nasa library na kami.
"I'm fine mom," I said. "Besides, Kaiden and his friends are no longer studying at Alder."
"I know. Kaiden killed himself. The others are imprison. They deserves that for hurting and made precious son's life, like a hell." Umiling ako at niyakap si mom. I always want her warm. Hinaplos nito ang pisngi ko. "Kulang pa 'yon sa ginawa nila sa 'yo anak. Kulang na kulang pa." Her voice filled with anger.
"Don't say that mom. Kahit anong sama ng tao they deserve better too. Jethro and Kaiden's death made me sad too." Mom's anger suddenly subsided and change into a soft one.
"Kung hindi lang kita anak, I might mistook you as an angel. Napakabait mo ganther, You are too naive to understand how's life revolves. Ang nangyari sa kanila ay tinatawag na karma. Walang sinuman ang makakatakas sa karma anak, that's the nature of human's life."
"Tell me, mom? Ikaw ba may gawa sa kanila no'n?" She heaves sighed and nodded.
"Ako ang nagpakulong sa kanila. But about Kaiden and Jethro's deaths I am not part of it son."
"It's okay mom. Don't worry." They deserve more.
"I'll go, upstairs mom. I'll rest for a while." Kissed her forehead before went out to the library to go up to my room.
"Murderer." Hindi na ako nagulat nang makita si dad na nakatayo sa may pinto ng kwarto ko.
"Stop playing others lives ganther. Nagiging mamamatay tao kana. You even used your mom to make them suffer. Wala akong anak na mamamatay tao." I let out a ha-ha after hearing that.
"Kailan mo ba ako naging anak? dad?" Pain crossed to his eyes. Pain? I wonder what kind of emotion is that.
"Ganther son, stop manipulating people's lives. Unti-unti ka ng nagiging halimaw. That Jethro and Kaiden? They died because of you. Because of the fears that you made them felt. Gather, ilang tao na ang namamatay dahil sa 'yo. Hindi lang silang dalawa—" I cut him off by smirking.
"Isn't my fault that they are coward daddy. It's not my fault if their cowardly pushed them to death. That's their decision, not mine. Tsk, they are too pathetic. Pathetic like you."
"I'm not a murderer dad. I'm just their karma." He shrugged his head. Kita ko ang hindi pagsang-ayon n'ya sa sinabi ko.
"You are murderer son. You didn’t just hold any knife to kill them. You din’t kill them directly. You made them see their own nightmares. Ikaw ang nagtulak sa kanila kaya pinili nilang tapusin ang lahat. You are the reason why they met their dead end. Wala kang pinagkaiba sa mga kriminal na pumapatay. Stop playing their emotions." I smiled after hearing that. Murderer? I like that term though.
"Stop telling me what to do daddy. Stop acting so brave because you are not. You and them are just the same. The only difference between you and those people is, you were aware of your own enemy but look at you. Hindi ba duwag ka rin naman?" Kita ko ang pagyukom ng kamao nito at pag-igting ng panga. He is angry right now.
"Yes, I might a murderer. Another form of a murderer like what you are saying. But who cares? I love what I'm doing. Magtago ka nalang sa lungga mo na parang isang daga na takot sa pusa tutal do'n ka magaling." I tsked. "Don't make me vomit from your words, because we all know. It's because of you." After saying that I left him. Pumasok ako sa kwarto ko na may ngiti sa labi.
"Murderer huh?" I whispered and chuckled. What a great title.
Sumalubong sa 'kin ang maingay, mausok na bar. The smell of cigarettes and liquors spread to the whole bar. I sat in the VIP seat that far from a dance floor where people wildly dancing. I took a sip from my vodka. While observing people. I saw other making out to the dark.
"Alone? Good boy?" Napatingin ako sa babaeng tumabi sa 'kin. She's wearing a black fitted dress na hanggang kalahati ng hita n'ya. Kitang-kita ang cleavage nito. She looks edible for me. I smirk.
"Yeah. I'm alone and sad. Can you help me?" I saw how she bit her lips and move closer to make our skins met.
"So tell me? How can I help you? lonely boy?."
"Die." She's stunned hearing it.
"W-what?" I leaned to her and bit her earlobe that made her moaned.
"Die. I'll be happy if you die little b*tch." Tinulak n'ya ako at sinampal.
"Psycho!" She hissed and stormed away. Napahawak ako sa pisngi na sinampal n'ya.
"Not bad." Saka muling sumimsim sa basong hawak ko. When I got bored I stood up. I'm dizzy. because of the liquors that I consumed. Naglakad ako papuntang comfort room.
Nang palabas na ako nang CR, someone bumped me. Natumba ako sa lakas ng impact.
"Are you okay?" A warm hand held my waist. His voice is calming. Tumingala ako para makita ang nakabangga sa ‘kin. He is tall compared to me. As our gaze met. I felt something that I don't understand. My heart skips for the reason that I don't know. Tumayo ako at inayos ang sarili ko.
He smiled at me. Even it’s too dark I can clearly see his face.
"I'm sorry bro. I think I'm already tipsy. I didn't see you," he said while scratching his nape. I gave him a smile too.
"No, it's okay. I didn't see you too and I'm dizzy." Inayos ko ang suot kong salamin sa mata.
"Are you new here? This is the first time I saw you. And sorry to say. But yung mukha mo hindi bagay dito." Then he laughed. It sounds so sexy.
"Nope, this is my first time. My friends just invited me here. Hindi nga ako sanay sa ganitong lugar. And it's really uncomfortable for me."
"That's explained though. By the way, I'm Onyx Ollivander Faiz Leighton, you?" He extended his hand to shake hands. I gladly accepted it.
"I'm Ganther, Ganther Uries Neric Asuncion." We shake hands.
"Nice meeting you, Ganther. I need to go. See you around." I nodded. Tinitigan ko lang s'ya hanggang mawala s'ya sa paningin ko. I smiled.
"Onyx Ollivander Faiz Leighton what a nice name. Nice acting though." I chuckled as I watched them laughing as that Onyx did his dare.
Bago ako umalis sa lugar tinitigan ko ulit s'ya. And I think he feel it because he looked around to find who's staring at him. His eyes spat my location but I know, he cannot see me because it's too dark in here. A sweet smile plastered to my lips.
"I want to play," I uttered before turning back with a smile.
Onyx Ollivander Faiz Leighton's Point of view"What happened at Adler's basketball players is kind of weird don't you think?" Tyren suddenly said. We are in our hideout. Kakatapos lang ngtrainingnamin."Dalawa sa player ang namatay, the rest are in prison." Hindi man lang inalis ni Bry ang tingin sa librong binabasa n'ya ngsabihin n'ya 'yon."Well, it's kind of really really weird. Parang domino effect ang nangyari sa kanila." Orion butt in. Kahit ako, nang narinig ko ang tungkol sa nangyari sa kanila. Naisip ko na parang may mali. Parang may foul play."Stop bothering yourselves about them." Ingos ko."Hindi ka man lang naawa sa kanila?" Biglang tanong ni Alex sakin."Why? Why do I should be pity on them? I don't even know them. We're not even friends. Sasayanging n'yo lang ang oras n'yo sa kanila." I scoffed. I received laughs from them. As if my words are too funny for
"Beware of the weakest, they can be wicked too."Ganther Uries Neric Asuncion's Point of view"Let go to the cafeteria kit." Yaya ko kay Kit. We are inside my dorm he fetches me for dinner tonight. His face turned pale after hearing what I'd said."Are you okay?" I asked him. Umiling ito."G-ganther, why we don't cook for dinner today? Pwede tayong pumuntang green building. It's a building for the students who wants to cook their own foods. Bawat room sa building na 'yon ay parang unit. D-doon na lang tayo. Pwede?" He almost plead. He's really a weakling."Why? I do want to see the cafeteria. Maybe next time. Please kit. I want to see it please," Napalunok muna ito bago malungkot na tumango. Sabay kaming lumabas ng dorm ko. Bawat hakbang namin naririnig ko ang buntong hininga ni Kit. Habang papalapit kami sa cafeteria ramdam na ramdam ko ang takot sa kanya. He's shivering. Kita sa mukha n'ya ang takot. Konting-konti na lan
Ganther Uries Neric Asuncion's Point of View I just bowed my head while walking to the corridors. Ramdam ko ang mga titig nila, na tila ba isa akong nakakadiring nilalang na hindi dapat napadpad sa lugar na'to. That's how the world revolving. People see your worth in just one gaze. Akala mo kung sino mga mataas pero ang totoo mas mababa pa sila sa mababa. "Ganther!" Kit tangle his arm to mine. He's panting and sweating. Gulong-gulo ang buhok nito, gusot ang damit. "B-bakit hindi mo ako hinintay? Hindi ba ang sabi ko sabay tayong papasok?" Umakto akong nakalimutan ko. I scrathed my nape and bow a little. "I-i'm sorry, nakalimutan ko, Kit." "It's okay let's go. Late na tayo." I nod at him. Hinila n'ya ako lang ako at nagpahila naman ako. I need him, so I need to keep him beside me. Pagdating namin sa tapat ng room. Humigpit ang hawak sa 'kin ni Kit. "Are you okay?" I asked him. He gave me a
Someone's Point of view"Ano nang gagawin na'tin? We've been waiting. Nauubos na oras na'tin." Halata sa boses nito ang pagkainip."Don't be so excited. Lalo na ngayong mukhang may magandang palabas ang mangyayari. Let just watch how that Ganther and Onyx ruined each other. Saka na tayo kumilos. Mapapatay rin na'tin ang mga Leighton na'yan gaya ng plano." Bakas na bakas sa mala anghel nitong mukha ang galit."Don't you like it? The people that you hate so much will be going to destroy each other?" A man beside me asked. As that person heard that a smirk appeared on the demon's lips. I grin at that thought. All of us are demons. Demons that hiding. Pero sisiguraduhin ko, mapapabagsak namin ang mga naghahari-harian sa impyernong 'to.
Ganther Uries Neric Asunion's Point of ViewTumingala ako sa langit. Today is Saturday no class. I usually stay inside my dorm when it's weekend. But today is different. I just found myself walking to the corridors until I reached our building's rooftop. Pinatay ko ang cellphone ko para hindi ako ma-contact ni Onyx. I'll deal with him soon, not now. I'm not in the mood to play with him."There's something wrong about you today..." I don't need to look for me to know who's that. I know that voice. I mentally grin, he's been avoiding me since the day I told him that I knew his secret."Why are you here, Kit? Bakit hindi mo ipagpatuloy ang pag-iwas mo?" Umiwas ito ng tingin saka naglakad papalapit sa pwesto ko. He sat down beside me."I don't know either, maybe I just use to your presence. Saka, I end up asking myself. Bakit ako iiwas? Wala ka namang ginagawa." I didn't reply to him. I just stared at the sky. Walang araw. It's gloomy. Parang
Ganther Uries Neric Asuncion's Point of viewTatlong araw. Tatlong araw akong hindi pumasok. In that three days, I let Kit accompany me. Let him entertain me. It's been three days since I continue receiving calls and text threats from Onyx. But I never replied back.I move the white pawn piece on the board and let the black knight defeat the pawn. I smirk when I imagined Kit as the pawn. I keep playing on my own until the black won."Checkmate..." I mumbled as I move the last piece. Napatingin ako sa glass window ng kwarto ko it's already midnight. Another boring day passed."Hindi ako natutuwa sa larong pinapakita nila... Tsk." I lay down on my bed. Nanatili akong nakatingin sa kisame ng kwarto. The plain ceiling looks so dull like the day that passed inside this University."Leighton vs them... I'll watch them until they shatter each other. Masaya sigurong makitang nagtataguan lang sila. Those chess pieces
Ganther Uries Neric Asuncion's Point of viewWhen I open my eyes a plain white ceiling greeted me. I'm sure I am at the infirmary right now. Mabigat ang katawan ko, even my breath isn't normal. Dahan-dahan umupo mula sa clinic bed, napunta ang atensyon 'ko sa tray na puno ng pagkain na nasa table sa gilid ng kama. I saw a note on it. Kinuha 'ko 'to at binasa."Eat. Make sure you'll finish it. You still going to pay for letting someone hurt you. Ako lang dapat ang mananakit sa 'yo.-OnyxI clutch my chest. What's wrong? Why my heart is pounding? I shrug my head and focus on the note that I'm holding I put it in my pocket and start eating the food. Saktong pagkatapos kong kumain bumukas ang pinto ng clinic at iniluwa ang nurse. She smiled at me as she saw me."You're already good to go, Mr. Asuncion. But before that, I need to know why you didn't put on the medical recor
"Not all white is pure, some of them are tainted with black."Someone's Point of view"P-please..." His tears are bursting. Puno ng takot ang mga mata n'ya. He's like a kid that lost in the middle of nowhere. Nakaluhod sa harapan ko hinang-hina dahil sa mga sugat n'ya. Ngumisi ako sa harapan n'ya. I caressed his cheek using my knife."Why? Tell me, why I should let you go?" May himig ng lambing ang boses ko na lalo n'yang ikinatakot."I-i'm not part of l-leighton empire." Humalakhak ako sa sinabi nito. I grabbed his collar that made his flinched halos maihi na ito sa salwal."Awww, if I am Onyx or Orion. I'll definitely knock your head off. You just deny your clan. What a pity. Nawawala pala loyalty n'yo sa mga amo n'yo pagnahuhuli kayo." Nginitian ko ito."I'm sorry, kaso kailangan naming unahin ang mga pesteng nakapaligid sa mga hari bago namin sila galawin. And sad to say. Isa ka sa peste na nahuli namin." I didn
