Harvena: Aire

Chapter 39

The two-face knight

Timeline: Before the chosen four receive the unknown prophecy

I was in front of their hide out, I knocked down all those shit heads guarding in the main gate. Kaya malaya akong nakapasok sa loob. Nang makapasok ako nakita ko si auntie na nakatalikod at may lalaking kausap na naka maskara.

I narrowed my look to see clearly who's the man beside her, but he was too covered. Mukhang naramdaman ng tiyahin ko ang presensya ko kaya lumingon siya sa aking kinaroroonan. She even smiling widely at me, let me rip that smile of you, bitch.

"Oh, March, you're here . . ." She started walking towards me.

Bobo, clone ko ito. 

"But where's the head of the professor I told you to kill, March? Why you're not bringing it to me." Nawala ang ngiti niya habang sinasabi iyon sa'kin.

Ano ako, uto-uto?

"Oh, nakalimutan ko, auntie. In exchange of her head, is it better if I'll get yours then?" I smiled widely while asking those words to her.

I saw how she clenched her fist.

"Kinakakaban mo ba ako, March?" May riin ang bawat salitang binibigkas niya.

Before other could do their moves, I paralyze the time around them, except for me and to my aunt.

"Figure it out, auntie. The reason why I'm here was not to give you the professor head, but to get yours instead." Hindi pa rin mawala ang ngiti sa labi ko.

It was not a genuine smile, but a smile that you might creep. Because I am not MA03 nor a student of Harvena, but someone they don't dare to mess from the very beginning.

"Hah, ang lakas ng loob mong sabihin sa'kin iyan pagkatapos kitang palakihin at pakainin!" Nanggagalaiting sambit nito sa'kin.

"Oh, bitch, you're not obligated to do those things in the first place. Alam kong napipilitan ka lang, kaya mo nga ko minaltrato 'di ba? Tapos nanunumbat ka ngayon, tanga ka ba?" Natatawang tanong ko. Lakas ng amats ng bruha. "Pa mental ka nalang, total, simula't sapul, baliw ka nang tangina ka."

I saw how her face turned terrified by my multiple curses. She mustn't expecting that I'll told her those kind of words. I can be a bitch too, bitch.

"Namana mo talaga ang ugali ng ina mo . . . pareho kayong nagtatapang-tapangan kahit dehado." She gave me a grimace. "Sana ako nalang ang tumapos sa buhay ng ina mo at nagsama sila ng ama mong gago din."

"Ampalaya ka ba?" Tanong ko. "Ang bitter mo sa buhay."

"Your father deserve to die, he didn't chose me. It was his fate, it was written already." Humalakhak pa siya na parang natutuwa pa sa ginawa niya noon.

She was happy and there I was . . . suffering. How could people like her given a chance to live? Bakit hindi nalang iyong mga mabubuting tao? Bakit mga kagaya pa niyang demonyita?

"No ones deserve to die, if there's someone . . . then it must be you, auntie. Hindi ka man lang ba kinakain ng konsensya mo sa mga taong binawian mo ng buhay? Sa mga pamilyang naiwan no'ng taong pinatay mo? Do you still consider yourself as human after all those terrible things you did just to ruined someones life and make yours better? Now, does your conscience aren't eating you alive? Or perhaps . . . are you even a human in this state?" I looked at her straight to the eyes, I saw how shocked she was after my sudden outburst.
