"You failed."
Nanlumo ako ng marinig ko ang sinabi ng guro ko. Hindi ko inaasahan 'to.
"H-how?" Mahina kong tanong.
"You failed to do the thesis that I gave you."
"What?! I did my researches ng tama! I passed my thesis to you ng hindi pa deadline! How did it happened?"
Nanlisik naman ang mga mata niyang tumingin sa'kin dahil sa ginawa kong pagsigaw.
"You have no rights to question me, Ms. Kingsley! You failed to do it correctly! I don't like your work! End of discussion! Now get out of my sight!"
Padabog ko namang kinuha ang bag ko at isinukbit iyon sa braso ko. Tiningnan ko ng matalim si Sir Alfred bago mabilis na lumabas sa classroom niya. Doon ma rin nagsituluan ang luha kong kanina ko pa pinipigilan. Hindi ko na alam ang gagawin ko.
Dahil nakayuko ako habang mabilis na naglalakad sa hallway, hindi ko nakita na may taong papunta rin sa dereksyon ko kaya nagkabanggan kami.
"I'm sorry," I said without looking back to that person I bumped with. But his smells seemed familiar to me.
"Ms. Khaleesi."
I froze dahil sa tawag sa'kin ng taong ito. No one has ever called me by my second name because they don't like it. Naramdaman ko nanaman ang mabilis na pagtibok ng puso ko. This new feeling again...
Nilingon ko siya at hindi na ako nabigla ng makita kung sino ito.
"Thanos." I whispered.
Kumunot naman ang noo niya. Oops! I think it's rude to call him by his name. He's the owner of this school.
"I-I mean, Mr. Ruegan."
Tumaas naman ang sulok ng labi niya at unti-unting lumapit sa'kin. Doon ko lang nakita ang damit niya. He's wearing his formal dark gray suit while on he has some plastic bags on his left hand.
"Here," he handed me the plastic bags that he's holding
"Aanhin ko 'to?" I asked looking confused.
"Try eating it to comfort your feelings today." Balewala niyang sabi.
"What?"
"I know that you failed in one of your subjects."
Napasinghap naman ako doon.
"I was the one who checked it. And you really failed." He showed his evil grin that gave me goosebumps.
Doon pa lang sa sinabi niya ay biglang nawala lahat ng natitirang kasiyahan sa katawan ko.
"I was the one who checked all your works and I'm the one who decided if I should fail you or not. But you failed. Better work your luck next time, Ms. Khaleesi. I don't tolerate weak students in my school. You're lucky that you're still running for salutatorian." He said ruthlessly.
Umalis na siya sa harapan ko habang naiwan naman akong tulala. I can't... wala naman akong nagawang kasalanan? Why the hell is this happening to me?!
Mabilis kong pinalis ang luhang kusang tumulo sa mga mata ko at tiningnan ng madilim ang likod ni Thanos na papalayo. If he's not fair then his karma will face him. I won't back down without a fight.
