COPULA TRILOGY: Her Vengeance

Frame #11: Transcript Communications

[Chapter Eleven: Transcript Communications]

"I would tell the world how beautiful you are; I will scream your name, the name that I loved the most," the maiden said while there was a tear making its way to her rosy cheeks. She's vulnerable; she's desperate for his love."

Pabalik-balik na naglalakad ang guro sa unahan habang may hawak siyang libro at nakasuot ang salamin niya sa mata.

It's been two days since the Pars happened. Everything went back to normal, the same as my duty.

"BUT." The professor looked at us with wide eyes. Muli siyang tumingin sa librong hawak niya. "He declined...he declined her love, for he didn't feel anything towards her. "You need to stop. I was never in love with you. You're just hurting yourself." The gentleman said he, too, was hurt to see the maiden who's in tears right now."

Silence occupied the whole room. Everyone was waiting for the next words; some were holding their own breaths, thrilled for what would happen. And there's me, silently sitting at the back. Nakapangalong-baba lamang ako habang nakikinig sa unahan.

I already read that novel a dozen times.

"At the end, the maiden took her own life, devastated from what happened, while the gentleman never did anything. Thus, he moved to London for his new life. Feeling a little guilt inside him, knowing that he's the reason for her death." The professor closed the book loudly and roamed her eyes at us. "And they never lived happily ever after. The end."

I rolled my eyes when I heard several gasps and low murmurs and saw the disappointment on their faces.

Tiningnan ko ang kinauupuan ni Hayden; she's peacefully sleeping on her desk. I tsked at her.

She doesn't know how to appreciate novels.

"And that's the novel titled 'Chariot of Tulips' by Anthony Pelvis. You'll be doing your essay about the novel tomorrow. Farewell." The professor of English literature bid her goodbye and walked straight out of the room; the students followed her.

Nang kaunti nalang ang tao sa loob ay doon lamang ako tumayo. I grabbed my bag before walking out of the room.

As I walk a few steps away from Hayden, I am a bit happy to have a gun today. Ngayon lang ako nakapagbit sa loob ng eskwelahan since life allowed me to have one. Hindi na niya ako kailangan pang pangaralan sa paggamit nito dahil hindi ko agad ito gagamitin, unless it's needed too and it's the last option that I could take.

When we reached the huge hallway, many students welcomed us. The whole place is too crowded.

Tinalasan ko ang tingin ko kay Hayden para hindi mawala ang tingin ko sa kanya, and at this point ay medyo nalalayo na ako sa kanya.

I grunted. Nahihirapan akong sumiksik dahil sa dami ng tao. Some students are walking towards the cafeteria, while the others are walking to nowhere. This is too much for a lunch break.

This kind of crowd is about to go into a stampede. Ito lang ba ang hallway sa building na 'to?

I stilled when I saw something weird. My eyes widened a bit when I noticed something, a small dot coming from nowhere. Tinitigan ko nang maiigi ang bandang ulo ni Hayden na medyo malayo na mula sa akin.

I was alerted when I figured out what it was, running furiously towards Hayden to grab her. The red dot was still on the side of her head.

Tiningnan ko kung saan 'yon nanggaling, but all I can see are trees and darkness inside it.

"Move! " Sigaw ko habang tinutulak paalis ang mga nakakasalubong ko sa daan. Some students looked in my direction, confused by my sudden aggressive behavior.
