Sky Nemesis’ Point of View
“Next time, remind me of killing you,” aniya ko kay Dark at tinignan siya ng masama. “And next time, please inform me first before you throw me a vase,” he answered and throw a dagger look.
Pareho kaming naka-upo sa couch habang ginagamot nila Frances at Trinity ang mga sugat naming dalawa. May sugat siya sa kamay at maliit na scratch sa kaliwang pisngi ako naman sa paa dahil sa bubog. Ang sakit lang hindi ako makakalakad ng maayos nito.
“Aray! France, hinaan mo naman, may galit ka ba sa’kin?”
“Ang pilya mo talaga Sky, sabi ko sayo huwag—“
“Yeah, yeah, I get it, okay?”
It has been hours since she keeps on babbling things at me like: “I told you not you play with them” or “You can’t walk because you’re being childish”. See what I mean, babbler that, blabber this. Fuck it, I can already memorize her line.
“Here! Already done!” rinig kong sabi ni Trinity at ngumiti siya sa kuya niya. “Thanks sis,” pagpasalamat ni Dark. Umiling lang si Trinity at sinabing, “No, thank you ate Sky dahil nasugatan mo si kuya at ako ang gumamot.”
“Ano?! Mas gugustuhin mo pang masugatan ako para may magamot ko, ang sama mo.”
“Weird people,” I whispered and closed my eyes.
“Master!” sigaw ng mga kalalakihan na binugboog naming ni Dark. “Ano?” sabay naming sigaw sa kanila. “Oh,” at tinoss ni Drake sa’kin ang isang black envelope.
Either death threat or announcement pa’no ako mamatay, ‘yun lang naman ang palaging laman ng black envelope kung may magpapadala sa’kin. I opened it and another death threat revealed, and it’s from Spade. It says:
Time is precious; life is important, be here before dawn or one life will be in destruction.
Location: APLAU, 99 Street, Dark Alley
Be careful since it is not safe to trust.
–Spade
Again with his damn fucking riddles and what is ‘APLAU’ anyway? May lugar ban a nagngangalang Aplau? But fuck one life will be a lose after dawn? What the hell?
“Akyat na ako,” malaming kong wika at umakyat ng hagdan. Tahimik lang silang nagmamasid sa galaw ko hanggang maka-akyat na ako. Pumasok ako at damn, ang daming shattered glass, mabuti’t naka sapatos ako.
Kinuha ko ang laptop ko at sinend sa organization ang letter. After ilang minuto nakatanggap ako ng beep, galing kay lolo. Sinagot ko ang tawag niya. “It’s unidentified place Sky, walang Aplau na lugar sa mundo. Sorry Sky, I’ll it to you. Don’t do anything until I say so and they all agree, it’s against the rules.” And the line went off.
“Shit!” I cursed and kicked the bag. The envelope fell, ginulo ko ang buhok ko at pinulot. Binuksan ko ulit at binasa ng mabuti. No use. . . Kahit pa gaano ka taas ang Intellectual Quotient ko pagnababasa ko ang word na APLAU sumasakit ang ulo ko at bumababa ng bumababa ang IQ level ko. From 180 down to 50, ang layo ng gap!
Pumikit ako at nag-isip, APLAU, America, Philippines, London, Austria and United Kingdom. Kung nandito lang si Frances at nababasa lang niya ang iniisip ko sigurado ako na tinatawanan na ako nun at proud na proud siya dahil nahawaan niya ako ng virus niya na tinatawag na, The Frances Awesomeness-Coolness Virus. And worst, there is no cure for it.
Ginulo ko ang buhok ko at tinap ang ulo ko. Ano ba ‘tong pinag-iisip ko, nahawaan na talaga ako pero mga one percent lang siguro. . .
Inilibot ko ang paningin ko, hanggang may nakita akong map. Mabuti naman at inimpakehan rin ako ni William ng mapa.
