#TIBCindyIsNotCindy
Pamela's POV
Dahil sa takot ko para kay Courtney, at bunga ng aking natuklasan ay sinundan ko sina Cindy at Zach. Sumakay silang pareho sa kanilang sasakyan habang ako nama'y pumara ng taxi.
"Manong, sundan mo 'yong itim na sasakyang kaaalis lang. Babayaran kita kahit magkano," sabi ko sa taxi driver na tango lang ang isinagot.
Habang nasa gitna ako ng daan, binilinan ko ang driver na huwag magpapahalatang sinusundan namin sila. Mahirap na't baka lumihis ng landas ang dalawang 'to.
The trip lasts for 15 minutes. Luckily, hindi nakahalata ang dalawa. Bumaba ng sasakyan si Cindy pero si Zach, umalis din agad. I guess, babalikan niya na lang ito kapag...
Kapag na-accomplish na ni Zach ang pinapagawa ni Cindy. As much as I wanted to call Courtney right now, but I realized that there's no signal around this place. Damn.
As I get out of the cab, a question pops out of my mind. Ano namang gagawin ni Cindy sa sementeryo?
To end this curiosity and doubtness, I choose to follow her steps. I carefully not to make noise or I'll be dead. Till I reach where she goes, her feet stopped by in front of two graves.
Nagtago ako sa isang sulok na tiyak walang makakakita sa akin. Nilabas ko ang cellphone ko. I don't know what pushes me to open the camera and record the whole scene.
"Kamusta, Mom and Dad? Matagal din akong hindi nakadalaw sa inyo. I think... sixteen years since you've died? Well, it's because I'm too busy planning for my revenge to my mortal enemy. Huwag kayong mag-alala, this will end soon," aniya sabay halakhak habang kinakausap ang puntod ng mga magulang niya if I'm not mistaken.
Teka nga sandali, parang pamilyar ang bawat salitang binitawan niya.
"Are you guys excited? Oh, you should. Courtney has to pay her debt--my debt."
Oh my gosh! Don't tell me...
"Hahaha!" she laughed evily. "You know what, I woundn't act like this if it's not because of you. Kasalanan niyo rin kasi, eh. Kung hindi niyo ako binalewala at kinumpara sa lecheng babaeng 'yon, edi sana buhay pa kayo. Kung hindi siya pumasok sa buhay natin, masaya sana ako ngayon. I deserve to be happy like every woman in the world. Hindi 'yong kailangan ko pang pumatay para lumigaya ako. If you granted my wish, I don't need to kill you, guys, just because I hate you for choosing Courtney over me!"
She kicked the grave. She cried. She screamed. Habang ako, hindi makapaniwala. Ilang araw kaming magkasama ni Cindy as fake Courtney pero bakit hindi ako nakahalatang may tinatago siyang ganito? Ang tanga-tanga ko!
Kung alam ko lang, sana sinabi ko na ang totoo. Sana hindi ako nagpadala sa takot kong baka madamay ang kahit sino sa amin dahil sa kabaliwan ng babaeng ito.
I turn off the recorder and place the phone inside my bag. I'm running out of words so I can use this to tell Courtney about this.
After that hardcrying moment, she left the place with anger. Nilapitan ko ang puntod ng mga magulang ni Cindy at doon ko nakumpirmang...
