Payback Ch 30

May pangit na mukha ng isinilang si Banjo Canoy. Makakapal na mga kilay, maitim at busargang mga labi at ang pisngi ay tinadtad ng pimples. Kaya sa kanyang kabataan siya ay tinawag na Mamaw or pinaiklig Halimaw. A face that only a mother can love. Dahil sa itsura ay nilait siya ng mga tao. Ngunit ang mas masakit ay hinamak at pinagtawanan siya ng babaeng kanyang minahal. Naitanong tuloy niya sa sarili kung bakit siya nasasaktan at nag-durusa gayong wala naman siyang nagawang mali. Hindi naman niya ginustong isilang na pangit. Okay lang sana ang magdusa kung may nagawa siyang kasalanan kaya’t nausal niya ang mga katagang, “Pahiram na lang sana ng kasalanan” upang justified naman ang sakit. Ngunit nang mag-iba ang takbo ng kanyang kanyang buhay at hinangaan at kinabaliwan na siya ng halos lahat ng babae ay unti-unti na niyang pinakawalan ang poot sa kanyang dibdib. Ang galit na naipon dahil sa panlalait sa kanya noon ay tila apoy na tutupok sa mga nang-api at nanlibak sa kanya lalo na ang babaeng dumurog sa kanyang puso. It’s payback time. Sila naman ang luluha sa kanyang mga bisig.

After the plane crash, my body was never recovered. My soul drifted back to the home I hadn't stepped foot in for five years. They didn't know I was dead. They were still waiting for me to come home for Christmas. When my mom got the call from the airline, she froze for a long time, completely at a loss, before breaking down in tears. I followed them as they went to the memorial crash site. That was when I noticed something strange—I could see their levels of regret hovering above their heads. My brother's regret level read: 40%. My father's showed: 60%. Even my sister-in-law had 30% over her head. But my mother's regret level? It flashed a cold, unchanging 0%.

La veille de mon mariage, j’ai découvert mon fiancé au lit avec ma cousine — et cette nuit-là, j’ai couché avec son patron ! Tout a commencé comme une journée ordinaire. Il était dix heures du soir, et je me rendais discrètement dans notre maison pour récupérer mon voile de mariée. Mais en passant devant la porte entrouverte de la chambre, des gémissements m’ont glacée. Poussée par une curiosité malsaine, j’ai ouvert la porte. L’horreur ! Ma cousine Courtney, nue, chevauchait Perry, mon fiancé. « Chéri, tu vas épouser Irène demain et tu couches encore avec moi, tu ne te sens pas coupable ? » « Coupable ? Pourquoi ? On le fait tous les jours. Elle ne saura rien. » Courtney se redresse, pointe la porte et me désigne, un sourire ironique sur les lèvres : « Chéri, ta fiancée est là. » Le choc. Perry, déstabilisé, panique, tandis que Courtney, souriante, se lève et me confie, sans gêne : « Trois ans qu’on est ensemble. » La trahison se dévoile sous mes yeux. L’inimaginable se confirme. Furieuse, je tente de gifler ma cousine, mais Perry, dans un élan de protection pour sa maîtresse, me repousse violemment au sol. La haine m'envahit. Je hurle : « Perry… je te hais ! » Brisée, je m’enfuis, mon cœur éclaté. Ce soir-là, tout s’effondre. Au bar, l’alcool m’étouffe alors que je me noie dans ma souffrance. Un regard froid me capte alors. Nathan, le patron de Perry. Il est là, solitaire, au comptoir. L’alcool me rend audacieuse. Je m’approche de lui, le cœur lourd, et murmure : « Passe la nuit avec moi. » Lui, choqué mais intrigué, me répond : « Quoi ? » Je le provoque : « Ou bien… tu ne peux pas ? » Un défi. Il ne supporte pas qu’on le traite de faible. En un instant, son regard se glace et il me dit : « J’espère que tu ne regretteras pas. »
