The Art of The Vengeance of a Superior Woman

Chapter 37 TATVSW

Nasa labas kami ni Maelixa habang ang lahat ng classmate namin ay nasa loob at tinatapos ang computational analysis na task namin, sadyang nauna lang kami ni Maelixa na matapos kaya kinuha namin ang oras na ito para makapag-usap nang maayos.

"There will come a day when you will know who I truly am."Panimula niya, naka-upo kami rito sa hagdanan dahil wala namang bumababa at umaakyat kaya ayos lang na rito maupo. "Why? Do I have to know you?"Tanong ko.

"Not much, but I am part of your existence."Sagot niya na ikina-confuse ko, ang akala ko talaga ay type niya ako noong unang araw na mag-kita kami dahil sa mga pinaggagagawa niya pero way lang pala niya iyon para magkaroon kami ng connection agad.

"Now, how did you know that was going to happen?"Tanong ko, patungkol sa plano ni Zyra, kung saan ay halos mamatay na ako. Malabong malaman niya ang tungkol doon, unless, kasabwat siya ni Zyra, or narinig niya ang usapan namin ng student na babaeng nag report sa akin at nag hinala ka agad siya doon. Pero base kasi sa video na napanood ko ay nag-aaway sila ni Zyra, parang may something.

"I knew Zyra's reputation and your rivalry before I arrived. So, I hatched a plan. I befriended her, pretending to share your dislike. The deeper her trust, the more she revealed her schemes, including yours. Unfortunately, I arrived too late to intervene. She suspected me when I hesitated, and here we are."Paliwanag niya. In short, kinaibigan niya si Zyra to know kung anong mga plano niya sa akin?

"But why? I mean... why did you do that?"

"Well, I just don't like her..."Maikling sagot niya sa akin.

"Do you know any other plans she has that aren't currently underway?"Tanong ko sa kaniya, napaisip naman siya na parang maram nga talaga siyang alam. Bigla tuloy akong kinabahan, baka maya-maya ay mayroon ng naka-abang sa akin.

"A lot, Actually. But those won't happen anymore."

"How can you say so?"

"Here's the problem: I was there when she hatched those plan. She knows I'm onto her now and that I might warn you about her plans. Telling you the details directly would tip her off, giving her time to cook up a whole new scheme. It would be pointless to repeat empty threats."Paliwanag niya sa akin sabay nag strech siya ng kamay niya pataas. Hindi na ako nagsalita pa dahil nag bell na ang university, senyales na tapos na ang klase sa mga oras na ito. 

"ANONG pinag-usapan niyo?"Tanong ni Ezlyn sa akin patukoy sa pinag-usapan namin ni Maelixa, andito kami sa garden at nakahiga sa damuhan at nakatingala sa kalangitan.

"Wala naman, kinumusta ko lang siya sa mga nangyari noong hawak pa sila ni Zyra."Sagot ko kahit na hindi naman talaga iyon ang pinag-usapan namin kanina.

 "Sinubukan akong iligtas ni Maelixa that time pero nahuli siya ni Zyra, kaya ayun nadamay pa siya."Sagot ko kaya napataas ang kilay ni Ezlyn pero sa huli ay napatango-tango rin. "Aww, ang bad talaga ng Zyra na 'yon. Maelixa don't deserve it kaya, she's so mabait."Singit ni Zavia.

"Paano mo naman nasabi?"Tanong ko rito.

"Remember the day I competed in a car race? We chatted privately after she won."Panimula ni Zavia, so tama nga ako, ang nakita kong kausap ni Zavia ay si Maelixa, sadyang umepal lang si Cielo kaya hindi ko narinig nang maayos ang usapan nila.

"She offered me her medal and trophy, and even though I couldn't take it, she still forced me to accept it. Her reason was that she was only there because someone was planning to assassinate me, and the man who wanted to do that just wanted to warn his particular target, which was the person Maelixa was protecting. This means she didn't enter the tournament because she wanted to, but because she had to. So, in the end, I just accept the trophy. She's mabait, right? Because of her, I was safe."Sabi niya sa akin na ikinatunganga ko.
