The Bitter-sweet Revenge (On-going)

Chapter 15

Catherine Mae's

"What are you doing here?" I smiled and walked inside the room.

"I feel so welcomed here." I sarcastically said as I threw my bag on the couch and straightly went to the kitchen. I looked around the place and admired the cleanliness of the room.

"Joke lang yun! By the way, kamusta ka na ba ha? Hindi ka na nagchichika sakin! Palagi ka nalang kinukuha sa'kin ni Kuya! Nakakatampo na."

Tama siya. Matagal na nga kaming hindi nakapagbonding dahil masyado na akong naattach kay Jarvis. Pero nothing changed for what I treat Natalie. Except the fact that our friendship became stronger kahit hindi kami nag-uusap. Ang irony pero sa turingan kasi namin, mas nag improve kesa noon despite my bitchiness though.

"Speaking of your brother, where is he?" I asked. She suddenly frowned which made me worried.

"Wala siya rito. He's actually travelling to Palawan para sa blog niya. He'll be back after a week." I frowned at her statement. Umalis siya ng walang paalam. Biglang kumirot ang puso ko. Nasaktan ako sa pag-alis niya ng walang paalam kahit one week man lang.

What the heck am I even thinking?!

I sighed and looked at her in the eye. "I have something to tell you." Nakita ko namang umayos siya ng upo at tinignan ako sa mata ng seryoso. I have to open up and tell her everything. I need help.

"You do know that I'm trying to live my life all over again after the painful experience that he brought me, right?" She nodded. "Well, they're ruining my life. AGAIN. Why do they keep haunting me?" Hindi ko mapigilan ang mapaiyak ng mahina. I want to compose myself as much as possible.

"Here." Napangiti ako ng konti nang biglang nag-abot sa'kin si Natalie ng tissue. I murmered my thanks and composed myself.

"What did they do to you?" Natalie asked in gritted teeth.

"Rexiel's psycho girlfriend went to my house and trust me, you don't wanna know. After a few minutes, psycho left, then came Rexiel."

"He did what?!" Nat became furious when she asked me that. Alam kong magkakaganito siya dahil alam niya ang lahat ng pinagdaanan ko. Sino ba naman ang may gustong balikan ka ng lalakeng walang kwenta na lumoko sa'yo? Tanga lang ata sa pag-ibig ang may gusto nito.

I saw Nat stood up and grabbed a glass of water, drank it and placed it in the sink. Alam kong ayaw ni Nat kay Rexiel dahil sa ginawa niya sa'kin and plus, I'm already healing pero pilit namang ginugunting ni Rexiel ang stitches na pinaghirapan kong tahiin. Given the fact that Natalie's brother is the one helping me stitched. Ganito ba talaga dapat ang mangyari? Pilit na paglalaruan ng tadhana ang mga tao?

"Did you try on revenging?" Agad akong napatingin sa kanya nang tinanong niya ako. She rolled her eyes and crossed his arms.

"Duh! You do know that revenging is the main event in your story right?" She stated in a stating the obvious tone. Tama siya.

"Yes, but, how?" I asked. Tumalikod siya at binuksan ang fridge at kumuha ng ice cream na nakalagay sa isang plastic cup. Grabbed two spoons and pulled me out of the kitchen and sat on the sofa. Bigla naman siyang tumayo at tinignan ang CD rack nila. Still clueless of what she's doing, binuksan ko nalang ang ice cream at kumain while still watching her.

"Watch this." She said as she sat down the couch and grabbed a spoonful of ice cream. Napatingin nalang ako sa TV as the movie starts.

All throughout the movie, naisipan kong...

NANADYA TONG LOKA LOKA NA'TO.

Kasi naman eh! She played a movie na tungkol sa pagrerevenge ng isang babae sa dati niyang ex tapos the girl pushed away the guy who loves her that she also loved. Para kasing hindi pa nakakamove on ang babae sa past eh pero still! Dapat pinili niya yung lalakeng minahal siya kahit sa ginawa nyang revenge sa ex niya! Tsk!

"Sino bang director ng movie na yan?! Idedemanda ko!"

Pak!

"Ouch!" I shouted nang makatanggap ako ng napakalakas na hampas sa braso galing sa napakagaling kong kaibigan. Tinignan ko ang braso ko at hinimas. Grabe naman makahampas toh! Pumorma ang kamay niya sa napakakinis kong braso.

"Sorry not sorry. Eh kasi naman, hindi mo nagegets ang moral lesson eh!" She shouted. Napakamot naman ako sa ulo at nag roll eyes.

"I'm not that stupid to not understand the whole concept but puhlease Natalie Sy, it's just a freaking movie na napakaimposibleng mangyari sa storya ako. I have my ways on how to live my life, thank you." I said while I snapped my fingers in the air.

Totoo naman. Soooooobrang layo ng movies sa totoong buhay. Yes, may pagkakataon na may similarities ang ibang scenes but that's JUST a coincidence and the rest of the scenes are too fictional to happen in reality.

"Hay nako. So anong plano mo?" Tanong niya. I smiled and looked at her.

"Make him head over heels. Let him lose some of his precious things. Just a little diskarte and then leave him. Easy as that." I said with confidence. She looked at me in the eye but then she looked away and sighed.

"Okay. But what if--" bago pa niya tapusin ang sasabihin niya, inunahan ko na siya.

"I.won't.fall." sabi ko ng may diin. She stood up and tried to be positive.

"Game! But let me tell you that we have to stay honest. Me, you and kuya. We have to tell him about this so that we'll have no problem about it. Okay?" I smiled and nodded.

Lumipas ang ilang oras na nag-stay ako sa condo nila when I realized that I still have to leave dahil may dinner date pa kami ng family ko pero ofcourse, nagbihis muna ako sa comfort room ng condo nila. I wore a dirty white see through long sleeved dress and black shoes with my hair tied in a ponytail leaving some strands untied in the front. I wore light make-up have a natural beauty.

Nang makalabas ako sa comfort room ay nakita kong nakabihis na din si Natalie. Inaya ko kasi siyang sumama sa'kin since hindi ko gusto ag ideyang siya lang mag-isa ang maiiwan sa condo pero bago namin umalis, I made sure na ipagpaalam muna si Nat kay Jarvis. Hindi pa nakadalawang ring ay sinagot na niya ang tawag.

(Hey gorgeous! I missed you.) I blushed.

"I miss you too Jarvis. Anyways, I'm taking Nat to our family dinner tonight. Hindi ko siya kayang iwan mag-isa dito sa condo eh but I'll make sure na maihahatid namin siya pauwi. Safe." I said with assurance.

(Eh? Okay. I trust you.) Again, nag blush na naman ako at nakita kong tawa ng tawa si Natalie sa'kin. Shit! Nagmumukha na sigurong ketchup ang pisngi ko!

"Too bad you're not here though. I miss you." Mahina kong sabi as I walked towards the door.

(Don't worry. I'll take you to a dinner date when I get there. All of us. Including your family. I miss you too. So much.)

Can he get any sweeter? Nagulat na lang ako nang biglang may humablot sa phone ko.

"Beulo neun imi kkeunhji! mae jigeum-eun gamja cheoleom chajgo dangsin-eun algoissda. gwaenchanh-a. nado saranghae! annyeong!"

"Why did you do that?!" I said in an irritated tone. She just smiled and shrugged as she hands my phone at naglakad na patungo sa elevator.

"Hindi ka naman excited para makita si kuya Sam noh?" Napahinto naman siya sa sinabi ko. I laughed and tapped her shoulder.

"That's what you get when you tease me." I smiled and get inside the elevator.

"Wait for me!" Nat shouted and get inside the elevator.
