Firo's POV
I can't sleep, fuck! Oh yeah, I'll admit I'm thinking about that ice girl. These past few days, mukha niya lagi kong nakikita. Even in my dreams, I can still see her.
What the fuck happens to me? Ugh, this is not me. Maybe because hindi pa ako nakakaganti sa kanya. Yeah, that's it! Humanda ka talaga sa aking babae ka. Gagawin kong empyerno ang buhay mo.
Hindi parin ako dinadalaw ng antok. Magpapahangin na nga muna ako sa garden. The academy's garden is so peaceful. I'm always there whenever I'm not in the mood to attend classes. Nagiging tambayan ko na ang lugar na 'yun aside from my spot inside the forest.
I'll bring my hood with me, coz I know it's cold outside. The temperature here is cold; that's why students are provided with hoods. Hindi ko naman sinabing lahat ng hoods na gamit namin ay bigay ng academy.
Anyway, I'm on my way to the garden. Habang papalapit ako, may naaninag akong bulto ng tao.
Hindi naman 'to isa sa mga royalties dahil kilala ko ang aura nila. Nakatalikod siya, maybe she's so occupied with something I don't know that she never knew I'm at her back.
Yeah, it's a girl. Who would it be? I can't feel her aura. I can't tell if she's a friend or an enemy. I just don't let my guard down.
"What are you doing here?" I ask her with my usual cold voice.
Nagulat yata siya sa bigla kung pagsasalita at napaharap siya sakin. Oh? It's the ice girl. What is she doing here in the middle of the night?
Instead of answering me, she just turned her back as if she didn't see me. What's with this girl? I want to confront her about what happened in the hallway, but I remain silent. I don't want to destroy the peaceful atmosphere. Maybe I'll start to ruin her life tomorrow.
Umupo ako sa may tabi ng puno at sinandal ang ulo ko. Bale, nakaharap ako ngayon kay ice girl habang siya naman ay nakatalikod sa akin while looking at the stars.
Somehow, I want to be a star. Walang ibang iniisip kundi ang paliwanagin ang sarili. Not like me, since I was 6 years old, I was trained to fight to protect my people. My childhood is boring. Walang ibang ginagawa kundi magtraining araw-araw. Kahit gusto nang sumuko ng katawan ko pinipilit ko parin dahil ayukong magalit sakin ang magulang ko.
I was mad at them before because I thought they didn't love me. But I understand them now. They only want what's best for me. Maybe I'm not a typical vocal person, but I care for my family. At handa akong makipagpatayan sa kahit na sinong mananakit sa kanila. I will not commit the same mistake I did.
I wasn't able to save her before, kaya ngayon gagawin ko ang lahat ng makakaya ko para protektahan sila.
If I'm not stupid and cowardly at that time, maybe she's here with me now. Masaya sana ako, may kabuluhan sana ang buhay ko.
Nagtaka naman ako ng may nag-abot sakin ng panyo? Aanhin ko yan?
"Stupid, you're crying." Ha? I didn't know I cried. Oh fuck! Just what the fuck? Dammit!
"I didn't know that a cold-hearted jerk like you could cry." Ice girl said while smirking. Yeah, she's the one who handed me a handkerchief.
Ugh, of all people, bakit siya pa nakakita sa aking umiiyak. I don't know how to react. Gusto ko siyang sakalin para wala siyang mapagsabihang iba.
She's still smirking while looking at me. I can't read her mind, and it's odd. Lahat sila dito nababasa ko ang isip, even my dad dahil enhance na ang mind-reading ability ko. But her? It's like something is blocking me from entering her mind.
Sino ka ba talaga Demonica De Castro?
"So, can I have my handkerchief now, mister? Ako na maglalaba." Nakalunok ba ng yelo ang babaeng to?
"No" Agaran kong sagot sa kanya.
"I mean, ako na maglalaba. Mukhang hindi mo pa nagagamit to. Nakakahiya sayo." What the fuck did I just say? Kelan pa ako nahiya? Oh damn! Ano bang nangyayare sakin?
"Hmm, okay. Just give it back to me, importante sa akin yan." She said before leaving me.
Importante? Ah, baka bigay ng boyfriend niya. Tsk paki ko ba, lalabhan ko lang naman 'to kasi mukhang hindi niya pa nagagamit.
Babalik na nga din ako sa kwarto. Medyo inaantok na din ako.
