The Villain

"Meron ka bang napapansin sa mukha ko?"  Asked by Nirvana.

Tumitig naman sa mukha niya ang kaibigang si Rhys at sumagot, "Meron, kumakapal na masyado."

Nirvana immediately glared at Rhys but the woman only rolled her eyes at her direction.

Nasa mall sila ngayon at kasalukuyang nag sho-shopping.

It was 9 in the morning when Rhy's called her and asked for the compensation regarding their so-called fight na pinangakuan lang ni Nirvana ng shopping sa mall. Kung saan tuluyan niya ngang siningil at ngayon kasalukuyan nang naglalakad papasok sa isang luxury store upang mamili ng mga damit.

The luxury store is their first shop kung kaya't nang makapasok sa loob ay kaagad silang umupo at kumuha ng fashion catalogue upang mamili ng mga damit, and all they did was to mark the designs that they feel like checking out upang maipwesto na ng mga staff sa kanilang harapan.

As soon as they were done marking, they both gave the catalogue to the clerks and after that, they faced each other.

Naramdaman ni Nirvana ang pag iba ng ihip ng hangin kung kaya't bigla siyang kinilabutan at nanginig kahit wala namang kinalaman ang aircon dito. Dahil alam niya ang dahilan ng pagbabago sa ihip ng hangin.

Nirvana looked at the woman beside her and snap her fingers in her mind, because all she can see is a woman who is desperate to seek some 'chismis' from her regarding the incident that happened yesterday.

"What? Can you please refrain that kind of look? You look scary as h-ll,"  nakangiwing saad ni Nirvana habang nakatingin sa kaibigan.

Rhys smirked at her and shrugged her shoulders, "Huwag mo akong ma-scary scary d'yan. Don't act like nothing big happened yesterday. It was f-cking spread in the circle that you broke down in front of those motherf-ckers and was humiliated by that man you deemed as your imaginary lover na kung ano ang ikinagwapo ng mukha, kay itim naman ng espiritu."

"I was blind and dumb for those past years, okay? Bulag at tanga ako to the point na hindi ko na rin makilala kung sino talaga 'yung taong 'yon. It was like I was possessed at that time that what I did was humiliating enough to feel like killing myself. It's a good thing that he came,"  replied by Nirvana that made Rhys snapped her fingers in front of her face.

Nagulat naman si Nirvana sa ginawa ng kaibigan dahilan upang taasan niya ito ng kilay.

"What was that?"  She asked but was answered by Rhys, grinning widly.

"Hanggang ngayon tanga ka parin naman. So...what's up with the two of you? Why did he abducted you? Saan ka niya dinala kagabi? Anong ginawa niyo?"  Sunod sunod na tanong ni Rhys.

Tinanggal ni Nirvana ang kamay ng kaibigan mula sa pagkakahawak sa kanyang mga balikat at sinagot ito.

"Kumalma ka nga, he just took me out and sent me home. Nothing else happened, why are y'all making it a big deal? It's not like that man is someone whom everyone fears."

Ito ang naging sagot ni Nirvana na nagpalaglag sa panga ng kaibigang si Rhys.

She was beyond dumbfounded by Nirvana's words.

Sinundan ni Rhys ng tingin si Nirvana habang nakanganga pa rin ang bibig nito nang tumayo ang kaibigan at isinukat ang isang glitter designed dress.

She was stunned and only came back from her stupefied moment when Nirvana came out from the fitting room at nag pose sa kanyang harapan.

She immediately stood up and grabbed Nirvana's shoulders by force and exclaimed before her face with almost her saliva coming out.

"Naririnig mo ba 'yang mga sinasabi mo? Sa sobrang katangahan mo sa maitim na espiritung 'yon ay hindi mo na alam kung ano ang takbo ng mundo. Not like that man is someone whom everyone fears of? What the f-ck, Nirvana! Hindi ka makakasurvive sa mundong ito dahil sa pag iisip na'yan kapag pinabayaan kita! 25 ka palang, hindi ka na aabutan ng bagong taon. Mabuti nalang talaga at buhay pa ako para gabayan ka sa tamang direksyon. Kailangan ba kitang ipasok ulit sa highschool at college para naman magkalaman laman 'yang utak mo? Tanging pagwaldas lang ng pera ang alam mo. Bobita ka na nga pagdating sa mga araw araw na bagay, dadagdagan mo pa ang pagkawalang pakialam mo sa paligid,"  mahabang sermon ni Rhys na ikahinga pa nito ng malalim.
