The Hottest Revenge

Chapter 12

“W-Where did you get this tattoo?” I asked him.

Humarap ito sa akin. “That? I saw that on social media, it looks cool kaya pinatattoo ko sa likod ko.” aniya.

“H-How about the scar?”

“Hindi mo na maalala?”

I finished putting tha bandage on his body, kaya nagsuot ito ng t-shirt. My brows furrowed, anong hindi ko na maalala? I didn’t know that he has a scar on his back.

“Huh?”

“When we were fencing, Cacie, natamaan mo ako sa likod.” aniya. “Kaya nagkaganiyan.”

“O-Oh, I was the one who made that?”

I don’t remember that, ni hindi ko nga maalala na nag fencing kami. Why do I have this feeling that he’s lying. Cacie, all the evidence is here na! Why are you hesitating!?

Nang makalabas ako ng kwarto ay aalis na dapat ako. Really, Cacie? You didn’t even bother to ask him kung saan niya nakuha yung sugat niya! You’re crazy, Cacie!
Babalik na dapat ako sa loob ng kwarto niya, when I heard him talking to someone.

“Gagong Salvador ‘yan..” I heard him. “They both found out about the tattoo. Soon enough, I’ll kill her too.”

My eyes widened, because of being shocked nahulog ko tuloy ang mga gamit na hawak ko, that cause a sound.

Manang Andeng saw me that’s why she helped me on putting up everything. Ceejay open the door and looked on us.

“What happened?”

“A-Ah, nadulas lang sa kamay ko.” I told him.

Cacie, nasa harap mo na. Why are you hesitating to confront him? My chest hurts, I don’t know why. Napabuga ako nang hangin habang nakatingin sa mga litratong nasa board ko.

Ceejay is now on my board. Napapikit ako sa frustration. Ceejay, of all people? My tears fell down on my cheeks, I feel hurt. I trust him so much, that I never thought this would happen.

He’s probably talking about me. He will kill me, Ceejay will kill me, too. I wiped my tears, stay strong, Cacie.

Lumabas ako para magpahangin, I think I can’t do this right now. Of all people, he’s my friend, my most trusted friend, but I feel like I am betrayed.

Ramdam ko ang sakit na dumaan sa aking lalamunan. I do the breathing exercise, bago ako bumalik sa loob. I need to talk to him.

Papasok na sana ako sa loob, nang makita ko ang pamilyar na sasakyan. Kumunot ang noo ko nang makita kong bumaba ito sa sasakyan.

“Anong ginagawa mo rito?” I asked him.

“I called you many times, but you’re not answering my phone calls.”

Kinapa ko ang bulsa ko, and there I realized that I forgot my phone. “Naiwan ko sa loob.”

He looked at me intently. Nagtama ang mga mata namin. “What’s wrong?” he asked me.

Nagkibit-balikat ako at tumingin sa kaniya. Hindi ko alam kung paano ko sasabihin sa kaniya, gayong hindi ako sanay na nagsasabi ng nararamdaman ko.

I sighed heavily as I looked at him. “I think..”

“Hmm?”

“Ceejay is one of the virgonians..” I told him. “I saw a tattoo..”
