Chapter 3

Chapter 3: The Queen

I was silently writing in my table when that girl approached me again.

“Hey!” Sigaw n'ya sa akin at intensionally na binunggo ang disk ko. I looked at her.

“WW princess? What's the use of your nickname eh para ka lang daga tulad Ng Isa dyan.” Saad n'ya at nagbugtong hininga Ako.

“Tell me, you're insecure of me, right? Why would you act like that?” I nagged and shook my head. Nagsitayoan Ang Iba at tiningnan kami na para bang Isa kaming pelikula sa telebisyon.

“Even who you are, you're still no match to me.” she said fiercely. I didn't enter university to play ranks with this stupid girl. Tumayo ako.

“Katulad ka lang ni Alliah, Isang dagang umaaligid sa yaman Ng Iba.” Saad nito at tumalikod. She approached Alliah.

Bigla n'ya itong sinapak na dahilan ng pag init Ng dugo ko.

“Doon ka na sa low-key schools, doon naman nababagay Ang Mahirap na katulad mo.” Bulong Niya Kay Alliah and I threw a book on her head.

“Ahh!” Sigaw na nyang matamaan s'ya Ng libro.

“Insult my friend again, I'll make you pay for it!” Saad ko sa kanya at galit n'ya akong tiningnan. Lumapit ulit s'ya sa akin at akmang sasampalin ako pero syempre Hindi ko s'ya hahayaang saktan ang maganda kong mukha.

“Don't try someone you don't know well!” I said. “Even how big is our company I don't rely on it.” I continued and went closer to her

“Dont try me, Jessa!” I said and sighed.

Umalis na sya na parang sasabog sa galit. Everyone sat down when Jessa left. Umupo na din ako.

Alliah looked at me.

“Did you call me your friend?” She straightly asked with a smile then i cleared my throat.

“Ininsulto ka na nga iyan lang Ang iniisip mo, tsk.” Saad ko at napalingo lingo.

“Nahh! Sanay na ako sa pang iinsulto nila sa akin.” Saad n'ya and I rolled my eyes.

“Again, did you call me your friend?” She asked again then I sighed.

“You heard it!” Saad ko at tumayo na. Gusto ko takasan ang topic na iyon. Maybe I just called her by that Kasi nadala ako sa galit Kay Jessa. I don't have friends, the end! I'm not introvert and also not extrovert, fair.

-

Natapos na ang klase. Hindi ko Nakita si Alliah, where could that weirdo be? Bahala s'ya. Naglakad Ako palabas Ng room.

When I went out. Sa Isang sulok Ng school may biglang Sumigaw, I walked towards it. Then, I saw Jessa with her friends, they are bullying someone. Who could that be? Tsk. Bahala sila. Nagpatuloy na ako sa paglalakad.

I headed home.

“Esa!” Sigaw ni Dwayne.

“Captain!” Sambit ko at ngumiti sya sa akin. He went towards me.

“How's school?” He asked. Nagpatuloy ako sa paglalakad. Then, Dwayne was walking backwards while looking at me.

“Ayusin mo nga paglalakad mo!” Saad ko then he smirk. Umayos s'ya Ng paglalakad, sumabay sa akin.

I ate and after it I washed my face and went to bed. Nakakaumay ito, babalik na naman ako sa school bukas na walang ginagawa kundi umupo lang.

-

I walked inside the room. A boy approached me.

“Pwede magpapicture?” He asked and i shook my head.

“I don't like stuffs like that.” Sagot ko at pumunta na sa disk ko. I looked at Alliah, she was all silent. Nakahood sya at Hindi ko Makita ang mukha n'ya.

“Liah!” I called her.

“Bakit?” She softly answered.

“Look at me!” Saad ko at umiling s'ya.

“Liah!” Sigaw ko pero Hindi parin n'ya ako nilingon. I went up at nilapitan s'ya. I grasp her hands para Makita ang mukha n'ya.

I was stunned on what I saw.

“L-Liah...” i shutters. Puno ng pasa Ang kamay n'ya at Ang mukha nya.

“Did your family hurt—” Pinutol ko Ang pagsasalita when i recalled about what I saw yesterday. So, si Alliah Yung binully nila Jessa. Para akong sasabog sa galit.

I can't believe this happened! Yes I kill and hurt others but not the who are innocent. Alliah is my only friend. Yes, I claim her as a friend. And... What I just saw right now makes me burst into madness.

“Alliah!” Sigaw ko at ngumiti lang s'ya.

Saad nya. Tsk. They are no match from me.

Binitawan ko Ang mga kamay nya. She's so pity, bakit nya hinayaan Ang mga babaeng yun na gawin ito sa kanya.

“I'll make her pay for this.” Bulong ko sa sarili ko at bumalik sa upuan ko.

Nagstart na Ang klase but what's all in my mind is how Alliah got those bruises from that bitches. I don't feel irritated if some got hurt but not the same with Alliah. I get frustrated and mad when someone insult her and now... Arghh!

The lunch break cane so fast na Hindi ko man Lang namalayang Wala na Ang professor namin, lumabas na din Ang iba king kaklase, there are just 5 of us here in the room, including Liah.

Alliah kept all silent parin.

“Liah!” Masungit Kong tawag sa kanya. Nilingon n'ya ako at tinaasan ko sya Ng kilay.

“Bakit Hindi mo ako pinapansin? Are you mad at me? Sabihin mo lang, di naman ako tayo magkaibigan.” Pagsusungit ko at Tumawa s'ya.

“Hindi ako galit, Esa.... It's just...” Tumigil sya at iniwasan ako Ng tingin.

“What?” I asked.

“A-Ayaw ko n-na damayin ka nila. S-Sabi ni Jessa dadamayin ka nya kapag aaligid pa ako sayo.” Liah shuttered and I closed my eyes and sighed. May mga sayad talaga Ang mga babaeng iyon, Lalo na si Jessa.

“Hayaan mo sila!” Matapang Kong Saad.

Lumipas ang ilang oras, the classes are over. Nagsiuwian na Ang mga estudyante but I'm here at the hallway waiting for someone. When I saw that person I've been waiting, sinundan ko s'ya.

Patuloy lang s'yang naglakad at patuloy ko lang din syang sinundan. Sa tingin ko Alam na nyang may nakasunod sa kanya dahil binilisan nya Ang paglalakad.

Bigla syang tumakbo, sinundan ko parin s'ya. I kept myself hidden but still keep in following her. Umabot kami sa isang liblib at tahimik na lugar. 

Bigla syang lumingon.

“Heckkk!” Sigaw nya nang Makita ako na nasa likod nya.

“Ano ba, Esabella!” Sigaw nya at ngumiti ako.

“Bakit?” i asked with a smile at iniripan nya ako.

“Akala ko kung sino nakasunod sakin, you fucking bitch tinakot mo ako!” Galit nyang saad at ngumiti lang ako.

“Ano ba kailangan mo? Why did you followed me like a stalker?” maarte nyang saad at nagbugtong hininga ako.

“Andito ako para pagbayarin ka...” Saad ko at ngumiti sa kanya. My smile dropped off and I got my knife out of my jeans pocket. Then...

“Ahhhhh!” Sigaw nya sa sakit na naramdaman dahilan Ng pagtusok ko Ng kutsilyo sa kamay. Dumanak Ang dugo sa kamay n'ya

I took off my knife.

“Alam mo anong nababagay sa bully na katulad mo?” I asked then she was panting like a dog.

“E-Esabella Isa kang baliw! Ahhh!” Sigaw nya sa sakit.

I strike her other hand again with the knife.

“Bagay sayong maputulan Ng kamay para Wala ka nang masapak, bagay sayong maputulan Ng paa para wala ka nang masipa, bagay sayong putulan Ng dila para Wala ka Ng mainsulto at higit sa lahat, you deserve to die, bully!” Sigaw ko before I stabbed her in her stomach. After it, binunot ko Ang kutsilyo at and mukha naman nya ang nilagyan ko ng galos.

“Ahhhh!” Iyak nya sa sakit.

“E-Esa, p-patawarin mo A-Ako....” She shutters then I smirk.

“It's too late to accept your insincere apology.” Saad ko at nagbugtong hininga.

“Bullies like you, deserve to die. Kilalain mo binabangga mo.” I said to her and I evilly smiled. I get my gun out of my pocket and out on a silencer. I cocked the gun and made it blow on her head. That delivers her to death.

Tinawagan ko si Dwayne.

“Dwayne? Track my GPS at puntahan mo ako dito. I need to dispatch something.” Saad ko at ibinaba kaagad ang tawag. Dederetso sya sa kinakaruanan ko ngayon, I know him. I'm his priority more than anyone.

-

“Woahh Esa!” Gulat nyang saad habang tinitignan Ang patay na katawan ni Jessa.

“Let's dispatch that animal.” Saad ko at pumasok sa kotse nya. I let him out the corpse in the back. Ilang minuto ay pumasok na s'ya sa kotse.

“Animal?” He asked with a smirk.

“Someone who stumble on others dignity and insulation are animals, they aren't humans.” Saad ko.

“Why? Do you call yourself a human when you killed lots?” He asked and I looked at him. I smirked.

“As what my friend said, I'm an angel.” Saad ko at Tumawa s'ya. I took a tissue and cleaned the blood on my hands.

“Angel, fuck my ass off!” Saad nya at pareho kaming Tumawa.

“Malinis ba Ang pagkatrabaho?” i asked without looking at him. He started the engine at mabilis ang takbo.

“Oo! It's all clear.” Sagot nya at tumango ako.

We ordered someone in our gang to dispatch the corpse at umuwi na kami.

“Why did you kill her? I mean... Hindi ka pumapatay kapag Hindi misyon o walang rason.” Pagtataka nyang saad habang naglalakad kami papasok Ng mansion.

“She's a bully, she hurted my friend.” Halos pabulong kong Saad at Hindi nagsalita si Dwayne hanggang sa nakarating na kami sa kaloob looban Ng bahay. Nakaupo si Dad sa throne-like chair nya.

“Mr. Leo!” Sambit ni Dwayne and bowed on my father. I went to Dad and kissed her cheeks.

“Good evening, Dad!” I excitedly said.

“You look so excited? And why the two of you are with each other?” Dad asked at ngumiti lang ako.

“She asked me to dispatch an animal, Sir!” Saad ni Dwayne and we both chuckled.

“Maiiwan ko na kayo.” Saad nya ulit then he winked, napailing nalang ako.

“So?” Sambit ni Dad.

“I just took revenge for someone.” I said at umupo sa Isang sofa na katabi Ng upuan nya.

“For whom?” He asked.

“For a friend.” Sagot ko.

“Never trust anyone, they might betray you.” Saad nya at tumango ako.

“It's nothing to worry about, Dad!” Saad ko at tumayo.

“You made sure your work is clean?” Tanong nya at tumango ako.

“Wala kabang bilib sa prinsesa mo?” Pabiro kong Saad at iniwan s'ya.

I went to my room and change with an exercising outfit st pumunta sa mansion's gym.

Nandun Ang karamihan, Si Dwayne, Si Bailey pati narin si Klinton. I took a barbel, a 5 kg.

I stayed silent and Dwayne approached me.

“You okay?” He asked and I nodded.

“You look so distracted!” Saad nya at ginulo Ang buhok ko.

“Arghh Dwayne, stop!” Saad ko then he chuckled.

“Ano 'to? Kayo ba?” Pabirong saad ni Bailey at iniripan ko s'ya.

“Bailey, can't you see... Isang family stroke.” Saad naman Ni Klinton and I closed my eyes.

“Tsk.” Syang Saad lang ni Dwayne.

“Bakit? Sa tingin mo Hindi ko Alam? Totoo naman diba?” Pang aasar ni Klinton.

“Bakit Klinton? Nagseselos ka?” sagot ni Dwayne at Tumayo ito.

“You ain't family in blood but in name, remember that.” Klinton frowned. Nakita ko ang kamay ni Dwayne, parang Gustong gusto nya itong sapakin.

“Kahit anak ka ni Mr. Leo Wala akong pakialam, isa kang duwag at attention seeker.” Galit na sagot ni Dwayne. Parang may magrarambulan ngayon ah.

“Stop pretending, Bro. I know you like Esabella that's why you are acting like that. Sa tingin mo Hindi ko ala—” Di na nakatapos si Dwayne sa pagsasalita nang sinuntok sya ni Klinton. Dwayne revenge, sinuntok nya din si Klinton.

“Men! Stop!” Sigaw ni Bailey and tried to stop Dwayne and Klinton. I stood up and sighed. Tumigil sila.

“Sige magsuntukan lang kayo, Wala akong pake sino mamamatay sa Inyo Basta wag nyo akong idamay sa kalukuhan nyo, Wala akong sinabing mag away kayo dahil sakin, okay?” I said and tapped their shoulder. I walked out the gym.

They are all mentally unstable, jusko! Bigla lang silang nagkakapikunan, boys. Napailing nalang ako habang iniisip ang ginawa Ng dalawa. I went to my room. Tsk. Sinira nila Ang oras ko para mag-exercise.
