In The City Of Ruffians

XXXIII: Dive

CHAPTER THIRTY THREE: DIVE

As the wind blow their hair, chests are going up and down in a fast speed, they sharply stared at each other.

It's almost sunset. Malapit nang matapos ang araw and within the day, they've done nothing but fight through words. Walang oras na lumagpas na hindi sila nagkasagutan.

But they trained maturely. Pagkatapos na pagkatapos ng lunch nila kanina ay silang dalawa agad ang unang nagpaalam upang mag-ensayo muli. The others were so confused but they didn't bother asking, and they won't answer them anyway.

Mabilis ang naging takbo ng oras. The sun was slowly being taken by the dark ngunit hindi parin sila natatapos. The others already went back to the camp. Then dumating 'yung oras na they decided to spar. They both agree with it, kaya't ito ang kinahahantungan.

Hennessy is near the cliff while Ayesha is meters away from her. Napatingin si Hennessy sa kanyang likod 'nung nakitang wala na siyang matatakasan.

She once again looked at Ayesha. She blinked when she noticed her smirking. Parang may masama itong balak.

She took a step forward, Hennessy didn't move an inch. "Do you know why I hate you?"

"I wasn't aware and I don't care." She replied. Natigil si Ayesha at nawala ang ngisi. Hennessy moved her eyes just to see Ayesha pulling something from the back of her boots. Nanlaki ang mata nito nang makita ang kutsilyo.

"Well, you should." Ani at tinignan ang kutsilyo. "But first, let me tell you why before saying goodbye." She emphatically said and laughed with no humour at all.

"Unang beses palang kitang nakita, ayaw ko na sa'yo. Especially how you look at someone. Kaya nga gusto na kitang patayin noon sa yacht. But too bad, you outsmarted me. And that's why I hated you more." Ayesha spoke.

Hennessy just listened to her. Hindi ito nagsalita o di kaya'y gumalaw.

"Second, you think you were so good at fighting dahil lang sa natalo mo ako. Sad to say, sinadya ko 'yun." Nanatili siyang tahimik at hinintay ang susunod nitong sasabihin.

"You know why?" She asked and then smirked afterwards before continuing again. "Para lapitan ako ni Ishun." She clapped like a woman who just came out from the mental hospital. "And my plan worked, binuhat niya ako papuntang clinic."

Hennessy's eyebrows met. Naglakad siya paharap at lalagpasan na sana si Ayesha nang hinigit niya ito pabalik, mas malapit sa cliff.

"Where do you think you're going?" She dangerously asked. "Aa--" Hennessy stopped when she pointed her knife right through her neck.

"I'm not yet done talking." She said with narrowed eyes. "At ang panghuli sa lahat, ang pinakarason kung bakit sobrang gusto kitang patayin, do you want to know?" Hennessy have a feeling. Nag-iwas siya ng tingin.

"Hinadlangan mo ang relasyon namin ni Ishun. You prevented us to get back together." Doon siya napatingin. She slowly blinked and her eyebrows slowly went back to normal.

"Ano?" She asked, confused. "Ano ang ibig mong sabihin?" Tanong niya pa.

Ayesha laughed sarcastically. Nagulat si Hennessy noong may nakita siyang tumulong luha sa kanyang pisngi. "Can't you see it?!" Hindi natinag si Hennessy noong sumigaw ito.
