"Rian, pinapatawag ka sa office ni President. Gusto ka makausap."

Natigilan kaming apat sa pagyakapan dahil sa sinabi ng isang member ng OSA. I wiped off some of my tears on my cheeks. Pagtapos ay inayos ang sarili.

"Hintayin ka na naman dito," ani Kaja.

"Hindi na. I know you guys still have class. Baka... about naman ito sa post nakaraan."

Halata namang ayaw nila akong iwan o hindi hintayin. I smiled widely to let them know that I'm okay now. Sadyang nag aalala lang ako para sa kanila dahil baka mapaalis sila sa school.

"We will wait for you, Rian," matigas na wika naman ni Cash.

"You've done enough now, guys. And I really, really appreciate it. Baka matagalan din ako kaya huwag niyo na ako hintayin."

"Sigurado ka? Wala naman kaso sa amin kung male-late kami saglit sa klase," si Primo.

"Yes. I'm fine now so you should guys go. And I'm sorry again for the trouble I've caused. Nadamay pa kayo," I said with sincerity and guilt.

"You don't have to be sorry, Rian. We would do it again without thinking. Para sa'yo."

Nahabag lalo ang puso ko sa sinabi ni Kaja. Pagtapos ay nagpaalam na kami sa isa't-isa. Sumunod na ako sa isang member ng OSA at pumunta sa office ng president ng school.

"Good afternoon po..." bati ko sa president.

Siya lang mag isa ang naroon. She looked at me sharply and gestured to me to sit down. Sumunod naman agad ako.

"I think you have an idea why I called you today, right?"

I nodded as an answer to her. Napahawak siya sa sintido niya.

"Hindi pa nga natatapos ang kaso na nangyari sa'yo tungkol sa issue niyo ni Mr. Merada. Tapos ngayon ay dadagdagan niyo pang magkakaibigan?" I can feel her anger through her voice.

Nanahimik naman ako.

"This is not good looking for the school. We have to take immediate action. You have two choices. Either write a report with an apology letter, claiming that you seduce Mr. Merada or have your friend, Miss Abellar... kicked out."

My eyes widened in shock. "Po? W-Wait! I didn't seduce Sir Merada!"

"Yes. You don't. But someone has to take accountability for this issue. It wasn't also helping that your friend, Miss Abellar, assaulted a professor inside the premises of the school. When this issue broke out of the school, masisira ang reputasyon ng paraalan na ito na matagal naming iniingatan. We don't want this to become a bigger issue."

Gusto nilang akuhin ko ang pagkakamaling hindi ko namam ginawa? Para pagtakpan ang school na 'to?!

"But I didn't seduce anyone, Ma'am! Wala akong kasalanan! I'm the victime here!"

"However, you're still the root of this problem. Nakausap ko na ang Mommy mo. Regarding this, she said that we should do whatever necessary."

What? Hinayaan lang ako ni Mommy na akuhin ang lahat na ito? Kahit ako naman talaga ang biktima rito?

"N-No! I will write anything! Ang kumuha ng litrato? Hindi pa ba nalaman kung sino?"

"Well... since it was posted anonymously, hindi namin makita kung sino nga ba nagpost no'n. We can't also check the CCTV footage because it wasn't working during that time."

I can almost see my world falling apart. Kung hindi ako papayag sa gusto niya, mapapaalis si Cash. Pero kung aakuhin ko naman, parang sinabi ko na nga ring inakit ko si Sir Merada!
