Chapter Eleven: Dianne

Kindly please read the author's note after this part.

C H A P T E R E L E V E N: DIANNE

I was pacing back and forth in my room. Halos dalawang oras na rin akong nagiisip ng malalim.

How did Dianne found my new number? Impossible.

Dianne. Dianne is my old friend back in my old neighborhood. Noong nageexist pa ang pangalang 'Gianna' but now she's dead.

Pinatay ko na.

Dianne should not block my way. Yes, tama kayo ng hula.

She knew that Ivy and Gianna is just one. Na ako talaga si Gianna na nag-iba lang ng pangalan. If that secret reached Ghil in no time, she will destroy all my plans.

I should stop all of this.

I snatched my IPhone from my bed at dina-ial ang number ni Dianne.

"Hello bess—"

"Are you free right now?" Agad kong tanong. Syempre, wala ng paligoy-ligoy dito. This is a serious matter for me.

"Uhmm, bakit Bessy? Oo, free ako."

"Can we meet at this moment? Sa Chilis tayo mag-meet okay? I'll reserve our table."

"Seriously Bessy?l Omo...sige, on the way na ako!"

Then I ended the call.

Hindi ako nagatubiling naligo ng mabilisan at nagpalit sa isang red crop top at maikling khaki shorts. Nagsuot ako ng adidas na rubber shoes at nagsuklay ng buhok. Hinablot ko na yung phone ko at wallet at bumaba sa paradahan.

Dumeretso ako sa kotse ko at nagpaandar papuntang Chilis. Three straight minutes at nakarating kaagad ako sa meeting place. Talk about the meeting namin ni Ghil bukas. In fairness, puro gala ang alam ko.

Pagkapasok ko sa Chilis, akin lahat nakatingin ang mga tao.

Syempre, ang isang Ivy Montereal ba naman kasi ay pupunta sa isang ganitong kapublic na restaurant. Okay lang yan, sulitin na nila. Minsan lang toh.

I just flipped my hair tapos nakita ko naman kaagad si Dianne na kumakaway sakin mula sa isang table far away from me.

I gave out a smile. A fake ones.

Good, she still looked the same after twelve years.

She quickly run to me like a maniac tapos niyakap ako. Medyo nailang ako at first but I tried my best to hug her back. She led me to our table at then she started intriguing me.

"So ano na? Totoo ba yung sinabi mo sakin sa phone? Y-you're...you're Ivy Montereal? Edi nasan na si Gianna Salvador?"

I hushed her.

"Lower our voice can you? Tsk, I'm Ivy Montereal now and si Gianna Salvador...wala na sya. Yung Gianna dati, Ivy na ngayon."

I took a sip from my juice before continuing.

"Pero, how come that Gianna is now Ivy?"

"It's a long story, Dianne. But...BTW, close ba kayo ni Ghil?" I asked out of curiosity. Maybe...maybe Dianne can be one of my way for my revenge.
