Chapter 8 - Darkest Nightmare

S A P P H I R E

Nagising ako ng dahil sa tunog ng cellphone. Ano ba naman yan! It's just 3:00 in the morning. Oh gawd, ang aga pa. Inis kong sinagot ang phone ng hindi man lang tinitingnan kung sino ang tumatawag.

"What do you effin need?!" I shouted. Naiinis ako, you know? Ang sarap ng tulog ko then bubulabugin lang nila ang tulog ko?!

"Yeah, little-sister-of-mine, i love you more. But anyways," Pinutol ko agad ang sasabihin niya.

"No! Mamaya ka na tumawag when I'm totally awake! I want some sleep!" Papatayin ko na sana ang tawag ng bigla'ng nanahimik ang kabilang linya.

"Muntik ka ng mapahamak." He said quietly but he's voice is so damn serious. I have no other choice than to listen to him. He's serious, hindi siya basta-basta. I have to step aside my sleepiness dahil alam ko'ng galit na talaga siya.

"Hindi naman e, I'm perfectly fine, I guess?.." Sabi ko. Kaysa naman lalo siya'ng magalit edi sinagot ko na ng maayos.

"You guess? Are you serious?! If you're not fine then I'll tell Uncle to let you go here." Now he sounded worried. I roll my eyes. Sabi na nga ba e.

"That'll be unfair for others. I mean, mga magulang nila ang nagpasok sa kanila dito. To learn more about those Mafia and other illegal things. While me, ako ang may gusto dito tapos pwede ako'ng lumabas kahit kailan ko gusto? I'm their Queen, it's my responsibility to protect them. They are my responsibility. I'm the one who's responsible to protect them." Sabi ko, pilit pinapaintindi na ayaw ko'ng lumabas dahil ayaw ko at dahil may responsibilidad na din ako dito.

"Really, huh? But what about this news that you almost kill one of those student?" Natahimik ako. He sounded, sarcastic.

"Well that. That's another case. Iba yung isa'ng yan. He tried to kill me, he almost killed me. Ibinalik ko lang naman sa kanya yung kutsilyo niya. I didn't know that malapit lang pala yun sa heart niya. Natsambahan ko ata." Pagpapaliwanag ko. Half of it is true and half of it is not.

"What the?! I'm flying back to Manila and I'll fetch you and you're friends there! No fvcking buts!" Galit niyang sigaw at agad na pinatay ang tawag. This man is really annoying. Sana naman ay magbago ang isip niya.

3 hours later

"This is, fvck it! Hindi naman siguro niya tototoohanin ang mga sinabi niya?! Aishhhh, ngayon naman kinakausap ko ang sarili ko? I'm freaking insane!" Pagka-usap ko sa sarili. This is crazy. Dahil lang ito'ng lahat kay Kuya. Kung hindi sana niya ako tinwagan at nagsabi ng kung ano-ano ade sana mahimbing ang tulog ko ngayon.

"Sapphire, gumising ka na! It's time for school." Sigaw ni Scarlet.

"I won't go to my classes until this day end so you should go." I said increasing my voice.

"Okay." She said at pagkatapos ay nakarinig na ako ng mga yapak pababa. Pinilit ko nalang na matulog na kahit gising na gising na ang diwa ko. I need to sleep.

A E I S H A

"Ayyy, bakit wala yata si Sapphire ngayon?" Nagtatakang tanong ni Anez.

"Itanong mo kaya sa kanya, teh noh?" Pairap na sabi ni Ivan sa kanya. Bakla ang isang ito kung hindi niyo naitatanong. Ayaw lang umamin pero halata na sa pananalita at kilos niya.

"Badtrip ka ata ngayon, Bayut?" Tatawa-tawa'ng ani ni Scarlet.

"E kasi naman e si Claire kasi! Gusto'ng mag-send ako ng picture na naka-brief lang ako. Yuck mga teh! Ang laswa lang niya! Ang sarap-sarap niya'ng iuntog." Asar na sabi niya. Hahahah. Lakas talaga ng tama.

"Edi sana nga sinendan mo." Tawang-tawang sambit ko. Mayamaya lang biglang bumukas ang pinto at andun si Aiver, Kuya ni Sapphire.

"Where's my sister?!" Galit pero mahahalata mo'ng seryoso ang kaniya'ng boses. Agad naman siya'ng tumingin saakin.

'Oh my freakin' god! He's intimidating, like oh god!

"She said, she won't go out of our dorm, Aiver-ssi." Scarlet said.

"You!" Turo niya saakin. Hala?! "Come with me, Aesheya? What's your name again?" Tanong niya, ay wow! Aesheya daw pangalan ko! "It's Aeisha, Kuya Aizer." Sagot ko kahir alam ko'ng para na ako'ng tanga dito.

"Let's go." He said, not smiling nor frowning. Tipo'ng normal lang.

"Where are we going?" Kabado'ng tanong ko. He look at my side and then continued to look around.

"Dorm." Sabi niya. Ay ano ba yan! Ang ikling sumagot nito.

"Ow-key?! You want to tour around?" I ask.

"Nope. Just show the way to my sisters dorm." Tumango nalang ako. Habang naglalakad kami di namin naiwasang madaanan ang mga estudyante sa corridor. Hanggang sa makarating na kami sa aming destination.

"Where is she?" Mahinang tanong niya.

"Baka nasa kwarto niya. By the way, I'm going back to my class. Her rooms door is the one with a color violet and black. Byeee!" I said leaving already, without his permission.

S A P P H I R E

"Sapphire Luxary Park, we're going home." Napalingon agad ako sa pintuan kung saan nanggaling ang boses ng tao na ayaw ko'ng makita ngayon.

"Kuya?!" I shouted. This is shocking, seriously I don't know how to react. He's serious at what he said. Atleast I thought not.

"Pack your things. Or should I call the others to fetch us here?" Napa-irap nalang ako sa sinabi niya.

"Like they're here." Paghahamon ko sakanya. They're not here. Of course.

"Actually, we all are here." He said, smirking. I shrugged it off and said, "then call them." I quickly covered myself with my blanket after saying that.

"Sure, they'll be glad to." Nagbingi-bingihan nalang ako sa sinabi niya. If they're all here then what'll happen?

30 minutes later

"Hey, kid, wake up." Am I imagining things? Yeah, probably this is just one of my dream.

"Tss. Wake up now. We're going out of this school." Someone said. Oh god, this is not a dream! Demmit!

"You all are here?!" I shouted. They're here my darkest nightmare are here.
