Your Beloved Murderer

C H A P T E R F I V E

Clark's POV

I am Clark Arquiza, at simula noong naging teen ako, I started to get trasparent. It's the curse Amanda's parents gave me. And it sucks. The more I age, the more I become lighter and lighter, until I become invisible. And nowhere to be found.

It's a shit, but that's reality.

"Oh! Clark, saan punta mo?" Ani Tiya, napansin niya atang naka-ayos akong lahat-lahat.

"Papasok ako sa trabaho, tiya! Di mo ba alam?"

"Aba'y ang sipag mo naman, Clark! Sa pagkakaalam ko kasi day-off mo."

Napagisip-isip ko yun, oo nga ano? Ngayon ko lang na-realize. Natawa na lang ako sa sarili ko.

I slapped my face, "pupuntahan ko na lang si Amanda. You know, getting to know each other."

She chuckled as she faced the window, "goodluck, then. Make me proud of you."

"I will"

I will make Amanda suffer, and I will make her life miserable.

Amanda's POV

Maganda ang simula nang araw ko ngayon, mag-isa ako, pwede kong gawin kung ano ang pwede kong gawin at hindi ako makakapatay.

I sipped my cup of coffee as I daydream. Paano na lang kaya kung normal ang buhay ko? Siguro, I can do whatever I want to do like the others, I can love, without hurting anyone.

I sighed, "Amanda, stop dreaming. You'll be stuck in this shitty world until you die"

Binagsak ko ang sarili ko sa sofa, binuksan ang TV at naghanda ng pagkain.

"Kahit papaano may ingay dito sa loob. Ang boring naman" Nasabi ko na lamang sa hangin.

Muli akong umupo sa sofa at kinain na ang popcorn na niluto ko. Siyempre, movie marathon is the best at this kind of day.

'Di naman porket, iba ako sa nakararami, eh bawal na akong mag-enjoy nang ganito?

Hello? I am a person. I am a human being. We may differ in many ways, at least we have something in common.

Start na ng movie na "Hancock" ilang beses ko na 'tong pinanood pero ang ganda talaga. I can relate din kasi.

I can relate myself to Hancock. Because he's one of a kind. He is different from anybody. He is alone. He wants company. He is a hero. Well he has a partner, but they can't be together, because they'll become mortal, and die.

And that's basically me!

But I ain't proud. I pity myself. I hate myself for being like this. I hate my life. I really want to di--

"Claire?"

Nagulat ako kasi ngayon ko lang narinig na may tumatawag saakin ng second name ko. Napakunot ang noo ko, sino naman kaya 'yon?

"Claire? It's Liam. Open up."

A-anong ginagawa niya sa dorm na ito at hinahanap ako?

Dali-dali kong binuksan ang pinto at tumambad saakin ang maputi niyang mukha. Abot tainga ang kaniyang ngiti at parang wala na siyang mata dahil sa eye smile niya. What's with him? But I can tell, he is so fucking hot.

"You done checking me out?"

"A-ahm. Y-yes-- I mean no!"

He smirked at me, "stop staring at me like that, or else iisipin kong may gusto ka saakin"

"Keep dreaming" I rolled my eyes.

"Di mo ba ako papapasukin sa bahay mo?"

"Bakit ka ba nandito?"
