50: Nice to meet you
It’s been three freaking days but still I’m not coming to school and I can’t finish my freaking antidote.
Nakasubsob lang ako sa kama ko. Bigla akong nakatanggap ng tawag kay Lerden. I never told him about what happened between me and Kyra. Nung isang araw niya pa ako kinukulit pumasok.
“Lerden, wala pa ako sa mood pumasok---“
“Nakatanggap ka ba?” mabibigat ang paghinga niya. Nagtaka ako sa pananalita niya.
“What? Pizza delivery?” pagbibiro ko.
“Sugar. I’m not in the mood for jokes now.”
Kinakabahan ako sa pagiging seryoso niya. Magsasalita na sa ulit ako ng may kumatok sa pintuan.
“Wait,”
Binuksan ko ang pintuan pero pagtingin ko wala namang tao. Isasara ko na sana ang pinto ng may makita akong isang malaking kahon sa paanan ng pinto. Nakabalot ito at naka ribbon. A gift?
Kinuha ko ito at tiningnan ang card.
Open it. ‘Yan lang ang nakasulat.
“Lerden, teka lang ah I just received a gift buksan ko muna. Hang on!”
“Sugar, no don’t---“ hindi ko na narinig pa ang mga sinabi ni Lerden at agad na binitbit ang regalo papasok ng bahay at nilagay ito sa mesa.
It’s big and heavy. Sino naman magpapadala ng regalo sa’kin?
Naisip ko bigla si Code. Medyo nasabik ako na buksan ang regalo. If it was from him what should I do?
I slowly untie the ribbon and opened the box.
“What the hell…” nanginginig ang mga kamay ko. Agad kong tinapon ang takip na hawak ko at napaatras.
“W-what the h-hell is this?” hindi ko maikubli ang takot na nararamdam ng makita ang laman ng regalo.
It was a dead white cat. It was a freaking dead cat. Nakahati sa dalawa ang katawan nito. It was freaking dissected! Its organs are in a mess and blood is all over the cat’s body.
I noticed something inside. A letter but it was soaked in the blood of the cat.
I took a deep breath. I’m in a deep horror and I’m terrified. I was shaken and who ever send this want us to turn nuts. I need to know what’s the purpose of this and who devil sent this.
Kumuha ako ng chopstick para makuha ang letter. Gustong gusto ko na sumuka. The cat is in a terrible shape. I did manage to open the letter.
Cat has nine lives. I don’t believe that. But, I’m trying to complete the cats by getting nine lives. I already got 4: Clyde, Samson, Martin and Ed. Five to go. Dablyn, Lerden, Sugar, Code and Kyra. Good luck!
I immediately went to Brainiac Academy. Agad kong nakasalubong si Lerden papasok sa loob.
“I told you many times not to open the gift.” Sambit ni Lerden na tila naiinis.
“If I didn’t open the box I would not know that our lives are in danger.”
“We have to confirm if the others got the same thing too.”
Tumango ako at agad kaming dumiretso ni Lerden at hinanap si Kyra. I tried to call her but she’s not answering. Nakarating kami sa laboratory at agad ko itong binuksan. Natagpuan naming tulala na nakatingin sa bintana si Kyra. I know hindi maganda ang huli naming pag uusap pero hindi ko maiwasang hindi mag alala sakanya.
Naupo ako sa tabi niya at tiningnan siya.
“Did you get the same thing?” marahan kong tanong at lumingon siya sa’kin at tumango.
