Bittersweet Revenge

Chapter 13

It's past ten in the evening already and she's still wide awake thinking about Blake.Ilang tupa na ang nabilang niya sa kanyang isip ngunit wala naman itong naging epekto.Ilang kanta na ang natapos niyang kantahin ngunit nananatiling nakaukit ang mukha nito sa isip niya.Napabuntong hininga siya ng malalim habang ginugulo ang kanyang buhok.She wanted to knock her head off for her to get back to her senses. Lumihis ata siya sa naging plano niya.Blake is out of her plan.She just have to get her revenge to Carlsen and off she'll go.She doesn't have plans of staying longer in the Philippines. It's not where she sees herself getting older.

Napailing siya at nagpalit ng kanyang suot na damit.She chose to wear a comfy red short and a plain white t-shirt paired with a flat sandals.Bitbit ang jacket at pouch ay lumbas siya ng kanyang condo unit. She drove herself to the nearest mini mart.She's craving for something sweet.Dire-diretso lang siyang pumasok at hindi inalintana ang mga tingin na iginagawad ng mga customers sa kanya.

"I want a caramel flavored ice cream,please?"Aniya sa lalaking cashier na natulala na ata sa harapan niya.Napailing siya at kinulbit ito."I want my ice cream now.Caramel flavored."Ulit niya sa order habang pigil-pigil ang inis na nagsisimulang umusbong sa kanyang dibdib.

"Ah..yes,ma'am!"Tarantang sabi nito."Do you want to add something,ma'am?"Nakangiting sabi nito sa kanya.

"No.I'm okay with that"Sagot niya at inabot ang bayad niya dito.Napataas ang kanyang kilay nang nanginginig ang mga kamay nito ng abutin ang bayad niya.

"Thank you!"Aniya at tumalikod na at nagsimulang maghanap ng bakanteng pwesto.May nakita naman siya sa bandang gilid ng mini mart.Dumiretso siya doon at nilantakan ang ice cream.Sana naman makapag-isip na siya ng mabuti pagkatapos nito.She badly needed that.Her mind is really in chaos for a week now.And she needed to make her decision now.Inilibot niya ang paningin sa paligid para lamang mapansin ang pasimpleng pagkuha ng mga ito ng kanyang larawan.She doesn't even mind them talking about her.Kung gaano siya ka bitch at ka brat.She doesn't care.It doesn't affect her even a bit.They can call her names and she won't even flinched.Totoo naman kasi.And she's used to that.Nagkibit-balikat lang siya at inenjoy ang  kanyang kinakain.Mas may mapapala pa siya.Hindi naman nakakabusog ang makinig sa pinag-uusapan ng mga ito.That's so low.And it's so not her.

Her phone suddenly rung.It was  Brittany,her bestfriend.

Dinampot niya ang aparato at agad na sinagot iyon.

"Where the hell are you,Bleau?"Anito mula sa kabilang linya.She can picture out her creased brows and pouty lips as she talked to her."I'm here outside your condo unit."

"I'm just out to get an ice cream.Why?"

"We really need to talk,Bleau.You're hiding something from me.I thought we're bestfriends!"May inis na sa boses na sabi nito.

"Fine.Fine.No need to go ballistic with me.I'll be back now.See you in a bit."Aniya at binabaan na ito.She doesn't want to hear her rants on the phone.That would be irritating.

Dali-daling inubos niya ang ice cream at naglakad na palabas.Nakasunod pa ang ibang tao sa kanya habang kinukunan siya ng litrato.Daig pa tuloy ng mga ito ang mga paparazzi.

Pagkarating niya sa kanyang condo ay ang nakangusong Brittany ang naabutan niya.She looked so chic with her outfit minus the irritation plastered on her pretty face.

"You made me wait.What took you so long?"Anito habang nakasunod sa likod niya.Pabagsak na naupo ito sa sofa niya at nagkuros ng mga braso sa harapan nito.Mukha itong nanay na nagsisimula ng magalit sa anak nito na may ginawang masama.

"Sorry.I just have to drive safely.What is it that we need to talk about,Britt?"Naupo din siya sa harapang couch at taas-kilay na tinititigan ito.

"So,are the rumors true that you and Blake are together? For real,huh?"Anito ng nakaismid sa kanya.Na para bang ang laki ng naging kasalanan niya dito.

She heaved a deep sigh and looked away.

"I don't know what to call it,Britt.My mind is pretty messed up right now I admit."

"So it's really true then?"May pang-uusig ang boses na saad nito.

"Yeah.I like him so much.And I think I'm in a great danger of falling for him,Brittany."Namomroblemang saad niya sa kaibigan."He's not part of the plan,Brit and you know that."

"Tss.You should avoid him already,Bleau.He's a dangerous man for you.He's a devil as they say.You shouldn't involved yourself with him."Nag-aalalang saad ng kaibigan.Napayuko siya at napailing dahil tama nga naman ang sinabi nito.Hindi man niya nakilala ito ay malimit naman niyang naririnig na wala itong sinasanto babae man o lalaki.He's a shrewd businessman and a heartbreaker.Nakakatakot ang mga ganoong klase ng lalaki.Yun ang dapat na pakaiiwasan niya kung ayaw niyang umuwing luhaan.

"I'll try Britt.It's not that easy but I'll try."

"Don't just try Bleau.Do it.I know you can do it."Masuyong anas nito at bahagya siyang nginitian."I'll just be here to support you.And besides,there are so many guys who likes you way back there.Maybe you should give them a chance."

"Okay."Aniya at napatango nalang dito."So,when is their engagement by the way?"Pag-iiba niya sa usapan.

"This coming friday,Bleau.You need to be at your best on that night.Carlsen must be blind for choosing that girl over you."Nakaismid na saad nito.Na parang hindi makapaniwala sa naging desisyon ng kanyang ex-boyfriend.

"I know,Britt.That's why I went home in the first place,right?To show him that I'm way better than that girl.To show him that he made the wrong decision of dumping me." Her face turned serious as she remembered that unfateful day.The day he broke her heart.And he will pay for what he has done to her.Hindi pa siya nagsisimula at sisiguraduhin niyang magsisisi ito sa panloloko na ginawa nito sa kanya.Walang makakapigil sa gagawin niya.Sa paghihiganting nais niya.

Not even Blake and her growing feelings for him.
