"C.R lang ako" paalam ni Aster ng walang gana. It's been weeks mula ng mailibing si Apollo, at kami? Heto nangangapa parin. Yung killer niya ay nahuli narin at nakakulong na ngayon, pero hanggang ngayon ay hindi parin siya nagsasalita pero isa lang ang malinaw sa kaso ni Apollo ngayon, It's all about business, all fucking business.
"Hey"
Natigil ako sa pag iisip ng may magsalita sa harap, nakabalik na pala si Aster.
"Hmm?"
Nasa club room kami ngayon, pinaguusapan kung itutuloy pa ba namin yung project na na-assign sa club namin. Kasama rin namin ang buong CDJ.
"So, shall we start?" Aster said firmly but emotionless, nag nod lang kami as a signal. "Okay. As we know, malaki ang expectations saatin ng school. Tayo lang ang inaasahan nilang gagawa at magpapanalo dito." she paused and started talking again "This project is very important, we can't just back out. It's a one step closer to our dreams, to the mission of our team. Oh, yes Kenneth" nagtaas ng kamay si Kenneth na ngayon ay mukhang antok na antok.
"I don't think we can do it this time" simpleng sabi niya na may halong pang aasar
"Why not? We're the best" kalmadong sabi parin ni Aster.
"The best? Come on, even the best eagle can't fly injured"
"Kenneth!" "Kenneth" sabay na sigaw namin ni Zarina.
"What? I'm just stating the fact. We can't do this, we lost a member. May malaking lamat na iniwan yun. Then what? You still expect it to be the same? You must be insane."
"You shut up!" hindi ko na napigilan ang sarili ko. "If you can't shut that fucking mouth of yours, then give atleast a respect!"
"That's the point! Respect. To drop this project is the only respect we can give to him"
"Can you hear yourself huh? We can't drop this fucking project!" hindi narin nakapag pigil si Zarina.
"Like Kenneth, hindi ko narin gustong ipagpatuloy 'to. I'm out" simpleng sabi ni Maria at umalis na.
"See what you did? We lost another member!"
"It's not my fault, she just realize na wala na tong patutunguhan"
"FUCK YOU!"
Nagkakagulo na sa club, dahil pati ang iba ay nakisali na sa diskusyon or should I say, gulo. Yung iba kumampi saamin, ang iba ay kumampi kay Kenneth.
"WE DON'T FUCKING N---"
"ALL OF YOU, SHUT THE FUCKING UP!" napatigil kami sa pag aaway ng sumigaw si Aster, isa isa niya kaming tinignan ng masama dahilan para matahimik kami ng tuluyan. "WHERE THE FUCK IS YOUR FUCKING RESPECT?! KENNETH. KUNG AYAW MO NA, GO! THE DOOR IS FREELY OPEN. THOSE WHO WANT TO STAY, STAY! IN THE COUNT OF THREE KUNG SINONG MATITIRA SUSUNOD SA LAHAT NG GUSTO KO. ONE" nag echo sa bawat sulok ng club room ang galit na sigaw ni Aster. Tinignan ko naman ng isa isa ang mga kasama ko at wala ni isa ang gumagalaw maliban kay Kenneth.
"I'm out tss" tuluyan ng lumabas si Kenneth at kaming mga naiwan ay napabuntong hininga nalang at sinubukang pakalmahin ang sarili.
"Cowardness is the biggest hindrance in conquering the world. People come and go, you can't expect the person beside you to stay for the rest of your life. It will leave a scar that symbolizes your lost, but believe me, that scar will bring supremacy" napanganga kaming lahat sa sinabi ni Aster, this is unsual, minsan lang siya maging ganito, there must be something behind it. "In connection, the theme is all about, "Re-gaining supremacy after lost", you get what I mean?" uh-oh, I know what she meant.
