Umbra Inferis #1: That Possessive Mafia Boss

Chapter 100: Wakas

Wakas

Iverson Jade McGregor's P.O.V

   Ten years later...

" Iverson, you need to take an acceleration for you to catch up the lessons and quizzes!" panay ang salita ni mama, ilang linggo mula nang makauwi ako galing ng Japan.

" I don't want to do it now, mama. I just want to... rest," pagod kong sagot. Her tears fell again uncontrollably.

" It's making me hurt seeing you like this, Iverson."

" It's normal, ma," mababa ang boses na sagot ko. I threw myself on the bed and closed my eyes.

" I hope... you'll be okay, anak," she whispered and carressed my hair. Tears fell from my eyes. I just... don't want to think about it again.

" I love you so much," ang huling bulong niya bago tuluyang lumabas ng kuwarto ko.

   The following morning, Ivronsen and Isajace woke me up.

" You need to take the acceleration now, Iverson! This will be our last year in college! Sayang ang panahon kung hindi mo ipagpapatuloy!"

" Kenshin is running as the Summa Cum Laude of our batch! Ang kapal ng mukha! He's stealing it from you!"

" He deserves it, Amelynx," sagot ko naman.

" What?! Margarette is the Magna Cum Laude!"

" So, what?" walang gana kong puna.

" Oh my God!"

    I had no choice but to take the acceleration. Kahit araw araw pa akong imotivate ng mga kaibigan ay wala talaga akong gana. I just think that they are correct and I should just finish it this year.

   Kenshin Fujiwara was indeed the batch's Summa Cum Laude. Margarette Wilson and I became the Magna Cum Laude. Ivronsen was the Cum Laude. This school year was shaky for me. Ani ng mga professor, I could have been the Summa Cum Laude dala ng mga nakaraan kong grades. Hindi naman ako nanghinayang.

   Kahit saan pa akong exam mag top, hindi ako magiging masaya. That spot should be for a person who can appreciate it.

" Nemesis Louie Montero might not be present now, we also tried to reach her but to no avail. We respect the student's privacy. But we want to take this honor to announce to West Cannon that Nemesis Louie Montero graduated as this school year's Valedictorian. The student is very intelligent and hard working. With the combination, she had a general average of 99.5. Wow!"

   The Senior Highschool's ceremony was a separate matter from the college's pero lahat ng mga kaibigan ko ay narito rin.

" We want Iverson Jade McGregor to have her diploma and medals, please."

   Nagulat ako nang tinawag ako ni Professor Aguinaldo. Nginitian niya ako at iminuwestra ang stage para pumunta doon. Nagpalakpakan ang mga tao at naluluhang tinignan ang mga kasamahan.

" We love you, Ate Nemesis!" a young folk from the crowd screamed. Nakita ko roon si Cheshire na umiiyak, kasama ang Swordsmanship sect.
