CHAPTER 23 - CaNik

Calissa

"Hello, what's the sudden matter?" I asked marvy who's in the video call with me.

Sinenyasan ko yung make-up artist na tumigil muna sa pag make-up sa akin. Tumango naman siya at umalis.

/I have some good news for you./ I saw her smile playfully.

I turn my back at the mirror and crossed my arms.

"Spill it." I said trying to figuring out what she wants to play.

/your dear ex-boyfriend is here./

My thoughts went blank.

Im trying to process all what she just said.

Then I felt ruffled. Like, I'm a girl who badly wants a elucidation and retaliation.

To be more clear, I need explanation and revenge.

"Who the fvck is here?" I ask inquisitively. Hoping I just heard it wrong.

/uhm.. Niko Brysen. Your Ex-Boyfriend. Your love, niko./

"Your kidding right? He's now at the Mortal World having fun and live his fvcking shitty normal life like he always ever wanted." I rolled my eyes. Yes, he always been dreaming of a normal and happy life.

/ you don't believe me?/ she asked.

"Definitely. There's no way in hell that gay will comeback home"

You can hear my voice saddened.

/Then see this for yourself then/ hinamon niya ako ng tingin sa video call, then she change the camera into her back camera.

While she's zooming it, the image is being clearer and clearer.

Agad kumunot ang noo ko ng makakakita ako ng isang lalaking nakaupo sa may lamesa habang kumakain ng tinapay.

Biglang nandilim ang piningin ko, naparang gusto kong pumatay anytime.

When I saw him lively and healthy, I felt furious, like when I get home I want to go straight in our kitchen and get the sharpest knife we have and strike it to him.

That animal who break my heart! You surely pay everything.

/I told you/ narinig kong sabi ni marvy sa kabilang linya.

*toot* *toot* *toot*

THE FVCK!

HE HAVE NOW THE COURAGE TO COMEBACK AFTER WHAT HE DID TO ME?! THAT FVCKER! I SWEAR HE'LL ROT IN HELL AND BREAK ALL HIS BONES!

I clench my fist. Tumayo ako at kinuha lahat ng gamit ko at naglakad paalis.

"Calissa where are you going? The shoot was about to start!"

habol sa akin ng photographer ng shoot.

"Re-sched the shoot. I have something to take care of"
