BAZAAR SAINT NOIRE TRAINING FACILITY
(Outside)
"Ling!" I heard Kiyoshi shouting outside, kaya kaagad kong binuksan ang pinto ng kwarto ko. Napakunot ang noo ko nang makita siya. Ano nanaman ba ang kailangan ng isang 'to?"Delythena and Aurora are fighting in the dining room! Pinag-aawayan nila si Rav," nagpapanic na sabi niya, kaya nanlaki ang mata ko dahil sa gulat.
"Ano?! Bakit naman nila pinag-aawayan si Rav?!" gulat na tanong ko. Umiling-iling naman siya. "Basta, halika na," seryosong sabi niya pero bakas sa mukha nito ang pag-aalala.
Mabilis naman akong lumapit sa kaniya at hinawakan ang kamay niya. Kiyoshi immediately used his abilities. Hindi ko alam kung bakit parang kinakabahan ako. I felt like something is going to happen tonight.
"You have some nerve! Ang kapal kapal ng mukha mo! Sinasabi ko sa inyo ang lahat tungkol kay Rav, kunwari ka pang kinikilig sa amin tapos may hidden agenda ka pala!" sigaw ni Delythena.
"Delythena, ano ba... Mali ang narinig mo, hindi totoo 'yan, hindi ko magagawa sa'yo 'yan. Maniwala ka sa akin," Aurora pleaded, her voice trembling with emotion as tears welled up in her eyes.
"What's happening?" I asked in surprise as we arrived. Alex was restraining Aurora habang si Delythena naman ay hawak-hawak ni Light.
"Mabuti naman at nandito ka na para malaman ko kung gaano ka ahas nitong si Aurora," Delythena spat, her gaze burning with indignation. I shook my head in disbelief. "What on earth is going on?!" I exclaimed frustratedly.
"Anong ahas, Delythena? At bakit nag-aaway kayo? Anong problema niyo?" dagdag ko, my voice tinged with concern and confusion. Delythena sarcastically laughed.
"Si Aurora, nilalandi si Rav," hindi makapaniwalang sabi niya. That words sent shockwaves through the room. What?
"Ano?!" This time, si Kiyoshi naman ang naguguluhan. Delythena nodded vehemently. "Yes, you heard correctly," Delythena said seriously. "I overheard them, their conversation brimming with sweet nothings! Your actions are despicable, Aurora! Disgusting!" she exclaimed, "Nakakadiri ka!"
"Anong sinasabi niya? Aurora, akala ko si Storm ang gusto mo—"
"That's what you all assumed, but the truth is far more insidious. She's been playing both Rav and Kuya Storm," pagputol ni Delythena sa sasabihin ni Kiyoshi.
Umiling-iling naman si Aurora at naluluha na ang mata nito kaya nakaramdam ako ng awa. Hindi ko maintindihan, hindi magagawa ni Aurora ang sinasabi ni Delythena, but I know Delythena, she never lied.
"Hindi totoo 'yan," she cried. "Sa akin ka pa talaga magsisinungaling? I can feel people's feelings, Aurora!"
"I don't like Rav, it's a misunderstanding," Aurora protested, her words choked with emotion. "The truth is..." She hesitated, casting a wary glance in my direction. Napakunot ang noo ko, bakit ganiyan siya makatingin sa akin?
"Inamin niya sa akin na hinding-hindi ka niya magugustuhan dahil si Ling ang gusto niya," pag-amin niya kaya para akong nabingi at na-estatwa sa kinatatayuan ko.
"Ha?" I murmured.
Teka nga! Bat ako nasama!
"Anong pinagsasab—Guys! Sila Zon!" I was cut off by Lore na tumatakbo papunta dito. "Bilisan niyo, sinugod tayo ng mga gang groups nila Matt!" sigaw nito, natigilan naman kaming lahat sa sinabi nito.
Gangsters?!
Oh no...
Dumapo ang tingin ko kay Lovereign na umiiyak. Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero kusa siyang tumakbo paalis, parang hindi siya nakarinig ng sinabi ni Light. Naiintindihan ko, nasasaktan siya.
