As soon as I enter the room, the crowd started to notice my presence. Murmurs suddenly filled the room. The loud noise of the crowd makes its way to the scene. Who will not be intrigued by my presence? I am Gracia Del Luna. The transgender who tried to kill her own best friend.
"The jury finds the defendant guilty of frustrated murder, he will be sentenced three to four years imprisonment."
Those are the exact words that left me dumbfounded. I was so young back then. I have nothing left but my mama. But I was imprisoned for a thing that I did not do and I will never do.
Streams of memories flood through me. Pain. Sorrow. Hate. Anger. It's all in my vein. Familiar faces went through straight at me. Yes, stare at me like you always did. Stare at me with awe and surprise.
They were all shocked that I have the face to attend this event. But why not? I was once their classmate as well. I suddenly felt the veiny hand of the man who hugged my waist. Their shock and curiosity grow larger but they couldn't utter a word.
"Let's go?" He asked.
I just nodded and he led me to the people whom I dearly want to see.
Should I say, "Payback time?", not yet! I will make sure that they will experience the pain that I had experienced through the years. I wanted them to experience it, triple! Hindi ako papayag na walang magiging interes ang ipinaras nila sa akin.
"Gracia? Who invited you?"
"I don't need an invitation, Chloe. Aren't you happy that your best friend is back?" I smiled at her dearly. Kita ko ang gulat sa mga mata niya.
"Is that how you welcome your BEST FRIEND?" I asked again.
"Get out! You are a killer! Are you going to try to kill me again?" She shouted. Tuluyan na nga naming naagaw ang atensiyon ng mga tao sa buong lugar. Lalo na ng bigla na lang siyang humagulgol sa pag-iyak.
As I expected. She is still the best actress that I have ever known. Chloe Esteban.
But suddenly...
"Chloe! Are you okay? What did you do to her?!" The woman cried on her shoulders like there is no tomorrow. I thought I was prepared for this. Pero ng makita ko ang pag-aalala sa mga mata niya. Muling nanumbalik sa akin ang kahinaang pinipilit ko ng iwanan.
You are prepared for this, Gracia. This is just the beginning of your success. You will do this. You can do this.
