LEGENDS: Celestial Beryl (Season 1) ✔️

Season 1 - Chapter 43: Set Up (Trigger Warning)

Hinuli niya ang malilikot na kamay nito at pilit na itinulak, ngunit kinabig lamang siya nito at niyakap ng mahigpit habang pinaglalaruan ang kaniyang leeg at inaamoy siya na parang wala ng bukas.

"Professor, 'wag. Parang awa niyo na po." Unti-unti nang natutupok ang kaniyang tinig.

Up to the very last minute ay nagmakaawa siya. Isang pakiusap na lang at panlalaban ay susuko na siya dahil hindi niya na kaya. Ngunit isang katok sa pinto ang kanilang narinig at mabilis na lumayo ang professor niya sa kaniya. Iritado itong napahinto sa ginagawa at mabilis siyang ibinaba sa mesa at pinagpalit ang kanilang pwesto.

Siya na ngayon ang nakatayo sa harap nito habang ang professor ang nakaupo sa sahig at nakasandal sa mesa na animo'y biktima.

Celestial sobbed her fragile heart out. Just when she thought she was saved, she was very wrong. Because everything... went darker and bad as heck to the point that she broke with their sharp words.

Isang Staff ang pumasok. "Professor, mayroon daw pong gathering sa--" Tila ito napipi nang makita ang kanilang sitwasyon. "A-ah," The staff stared at their position and looked at her as if she's a perfect bitch and the most disgusting slut ever born. And it broke her heart even more. Their stares, the expressions and impressions they're giving her, the staff and the best actor Professor Talfen is making her feel as she's a total whore when she's actually the victim.

Isang malakas na tulak ang ginawa ng professor sa kaniya at tumilapon siya sa sahig, "Shame! How dare you seduce your professor!"

And the staff on the door was triggered. Agad itong kumampi kay Professor Talfen at lumapit upang mas lalo lamang idiin na isa siya umanong basura.

"You dimwit garbage, you better get back to your dustbin, little wench!"

Ganoon na lamang siya napaluha at napahikbi sa mga masasakit nitong sinasabi. She's the victim here, why is everyone blaming her? She was totally defenseless earlier! And why couldn't she defend herself fine? Will she ever defend herself? These people will make everything worse if she speak, their faces tells her so. She's so...doomed. She just want to die on her spot.

The Professor stood up as if he was seduced instead of harassing her, "You, little girl is a shame to your family! Why the hell did your mother even raised you? How did you even get in this Academy? Iyan ba ang pakay mo dito? Bumukaka? How dare you seduce me! You're too young to do such kind! Wala ka na bang magawa sa buhay kaya inaakit mo nalang ako? Mag-ensayo ka para naman hindi ka lalampa-lampa, maghanda ka sa klase!" Sigaw nito sa kaniya at literal nitong dinurog ang kaniyang puso, "To the detention room now! Hintayin mo ako doon, kapag hindi kita naabutan ay paparusahan kita ng malala pa sa inaakala mo!"

She slowly stood up hugging her victim body. Humihikbi siyang lumingon sa Professor, nagmamakaawa, nagbabakasakali na bawiin nito ang mga sinabi nito sa kaniya at sabihin ang katotohanan. Ngunit isang galit na sigaw lamang ang kumawala sa bibig nito.

"Now!"

Wala siyang nagawa kundi ang sumunod. Bago pa niya maabot ang pinto hinila siya ng pumasok na Staff atsaka walang pasabing sinampal ng malakas. It was so hard and big that her face turned red, her lips crashed a little and blood toppled down her chin from her lips. She cried silently, she bit her bleeding lips to prevent herself from crying. She tasted her own blood that screams deep agony and pain. She caressed her burning face and stared at the Staff who hurt her, hoping that she would say sorry to her or at least give her an apologetic look. But she failed once again.

With gnashing teeth, the lady staff shot her with daggering words, "How dare you hook up with your mentor? Disgusting, you are shameless! Really disgusting! To the detention room, now! Too young but already a slut." Inambahan pa siya nito ng sampal ngunit pinigilan ito ni Professor Talfen, nanggagalaiti sa galit na lamang itong tumitig sa kaniya. "Magkaroon ka naman ng kahihiyan, kabago-bago mo pa lang dito ganyan na agad ang ugaling ipinapakita mo! Wala ka talagang hiya! Napakakapal ng mukha!"

And there she couldn't take it. She wants to yell, to shout her best but all that ever came out from her mouth was a broken whisper, "H-hindi po..." She faltered in between her broken sobs, "Hindi ko po 'yon ginawa."

Hinawakan siya nito sa balikat at ganoon na lamang siya napaigtad sa sakit dahil sa pag pisil nito, "Shame! Now you dare to answer me? Who the hell are you? Anong pagpapalaki ang ginawa sa'yo ng mga magulang mo? Ba't ang baho at gaspang ng ugali mo? Ah, baka walang magulang kaya ganoon. Binibinwit mo pa ang sarili mong guro, napakalandi!"

Ba't nadamay ang mga magulang niya dito? She was raised by Almira alone and she was raised fine! She's a victim! She wants to yell at them, but she faltered once again and all that ever came from her mouth was a weak defense. Fragile as her, soft as she is, innocent as she is, and she hated herself for that.

"Hindi po," Umiling-iling pa siya habang kagat ang labi.

Sumingit na si Professor Talfen at hinila ang staff palayo sa kaniya.

"That's enough. Go to the detention room and wait for me. Kapag wala ka doon, hindi mo magugustuhan ang mangyayari sa Peakbrook."

Wala siyang nagawa kundi ang tumango. Lumabas na siya sa silid na iyon habang tahimik na umiiyak. Nanginginig niyang tinahak ang daan patungo sa detention room. Kailangan niyang sumunod. Nadamay na ang Peakbrook, hindi siya pwedeng magkamali dito kung ayaw niyang may mangyari sa Peakbrook at sa kaniyang Ina.

With a broken heart, she kept her agonies to her alone. Will she be able to survive here?

On her first day, she was bullied by the nobles. They threatened her innocence and she did nothing but keep a silent cry. She was harassed and accused as if she was the slut when she's actually the victim. She spoke her fragile self but no one listened and no one was willing to listen. And now, she's on another doom again because her family and the Peakbrook was used against her. What more could be worse than this?
