LORELEI
KUNG MAY lesson na dapat matutuhan si Loki, 'yon ay ang concept ng consequences. Lahat ng kalokohan, kahit gaano pa kalaki o kaliit, may kabayaran. Tama man 'yon o mali, para man 'yon sa mabuti o masama, may kaakibat 'yan na parusa. Masuwerte siya kung hindi siya nahuli. Malas niya kung may nakapagsumbong sa kanya.
Ever since I met him, he had been using unorthodox methods and cunning tricks to get the job done. Ako mismo'y naging biktima ng katusuhan niya noong secret admirer case. Ilang beses din siyang nakalusot, ilang beses din niyang natakasan ang accountability. Pero sa pagkakataong ito, hindi na siya nakatakas pa.
Maaga siyang ipinatawag sa Office of Student Affairs matapos nai-report ang ginawa niyang kalokohan kahapon sa White Hostel. May isang estudyante pala na nakakita nang pindutin niya ang fire alarm button. Dahil doon, gumawa siya ng gulo at nag-panic ang mga tenant. Sabi nga niya, he created chaos to lure the target out. Wala siyang pakialam kung may masaktan o mapuruhan, basta makuha niya ang kanyang gusto. Little did he know, the stuff he did not care about would haunt him later on.
Truth be told, he had it coming.
Absent ang teacher namin sa Oral Communication at nag-iwan ng seatwork. Sobrang ingay sa classroom dahil sa mga tsismis kaya hindi ako nakapag-concentrate. Isa sa pasimuno si Rosetta na katabi ko pa man din. They left me with no other choice kundi lumabas. Tumambay muna ako sa clubroom at doon ko na in-accomplish ang seatwork. Thirty minutes past ten o'clock nang nakabalik si Loki, pasipol-sipol pa at pa-relax-relax.
"Kumusta?" tanong ko sabay baba ng aking pen.
"The OSA has decided to suspend me for a week because of the ruckus." Umupo siya sa monobloc chair na pumalit sa favorite niyang swivel chair. There was not a hint of regret on his face. "But it won't push through anymore. How, you ask? My brother waved his wand and I got my suspension lifted."
Him mentioning his brother reminded me of what Luthor said yesterday. Kahit sa guni-guni, ramdam ko kung gaano kalamig ang boses niya. Muntik na akong kilabutan.
"This is only a hunch. Loki might use you as a bait to lure out M, like a cheese on a mouse trap."
There was no doubt in my mind that the possibility existed. Aware na ako kung ano ang mga kayang gawin ni Loki kaya hindi malayo sa imposible na gagamitin niya akong pain. But for some reason, my instinct told me to trust him and his innate goodness. He could be a bit unconventional and manipulative, but I got a feeling that he had his limits.
