COPULA TRILOGY: Her Vengeance

Frame #4: Roots of Suspicion

[Chapter Four: Roots of Suspicion]

Few weeks ago, my schedule and whole day only runs either in the office or at the headquarters. It's my job to be active and alerted at many things, and now... Having this so-called mission, more likely a task got me to reminiscent my old life.

By this morning, starting this morning, everything seems to go back when I was still a student.

Wake up early, take a bath, brush my teeth, put on my uniform, ready my things for school, and eat. That's a normal routine of every student everyday, some of them may recieve an allowance by their parents every month too. A school is just a prison where they ready young people for being an underpaid workers in the future, well, it's up to those students if they wanted to work their ass of to get some small salary and get zero credit for their hardwork or they'll take the other path which other people named it as the it's-either-you-work-with-your-passion-or-die.

Their life, student's life is just normal; study and graduate. Maybe get anxious about your grades too.

Ilang minuto muna ako nanatiling nakaupo sa kama at nakatulala sa kawalan, my mind is still on silent chaos.

Nang makuntento na ako ay umalis na ako sa kama, I took the towel with me and headed outside. I could smell coffee right after I stepped out the door, the lights are all on and the clock is showing the time 8 AM. Nagtapi rin ako ng tuwalya sa katawan ko dahil hindi naman sa mismong looban ang banyo kung saan pwede akong maglakad nang malaya pagkalabas ng banyo.

While sniffing the smell of coffee, I don't need to go to the kitchen to see who's in there, it's obviously that it's my pain in the ass roommate.

Dumiretsyo ako sa banyo at agad na naligo, I walk towards my room after and put my uniforms on.

I look at myself at the life size mirror in the room, I can't help but to cringe while staring at myself wearing a student's uniform. If Salvador, my Handler could be here, he surely would tell me that I look good and looks like an actual teenager.

I combed my hair using my fingers, pixie hair really suits me well.

My long-sleeved uniform is tucked into my brown skirt, long enough to reach my knees. I want to cry, I definitely look horrible. Too horrible for a badass Agent in a organization.

Wala na akong nagawa kundi kuhain ang bag ko at lumabas ng kwarto, I could hear my footsteps because of the shoes that I'm wearing.

I entered the kitchen and I saw my roommate eating her breakfast while staring at nothing, too bad that I didn't get her name.

I grab the bottle of milk at the fridge and pour some in the glass, when I saw that there's 4 more toasted bread on the table, I grabbed one and quickly ate it.

Kumuha pa ako ng isa at kinain agad 'yon.

"Your schedule is written on the paper, one lady came by earlier." My roommate suddenly spoke.

I stopped chewing for a second, tiningnan ko siya. "Where's the paper?" I formally asked.

Instead of answering, she just stared at something behind me and when I followed her look, I saw a piece of paper on top of the coffee table at the small living room.

I ate the last piece of my bread and quickly drank my milk, pagkatapos ay pinuntahan ko ang papel at kinuha 'yon.

It was really my schedule, since I'm acting to be like a 12th grade senior high student, obviously the subs are heavy. And I'm taking Business.

I can totally ignore the whole semester, kahit hindi ako mag-intindi ay wala namang mawawala saakin. I'm just an undercover and I already graduated years ago. Not studying is not my loss.
