Wicked Beauty

Ikalawang Kabanata

Ikalawang Kabanta: Argument,Cruelty and Rebellion

As I drive towards the mansion, I saw there's a lot of people in front of my brother's company-- the owner of one of the Largest Bank in Asia and other Parts of America and Australia.

Hininto ko sandali sa isang gilid ang sasakyan at binuksan ang bintana, tinawag ko ang medyo malapit sa akin at dali dali naman syang lumapit,"What's Happening? Bakit maraming tao?" pagkatapus kung magtanong ay bigla nalang syang sumigaw na hindi ko na ikinagulat.

"Ibalik nyo ang pera namin!! Pinagkatiwalaan namin kayo! Kayo! Kayong mga Mayayaman ang dahilan kung bakit kami naghihirap!! Kayo pa ang galit! Kung hindi nyo ibabalik ang pera namin, Magkakamatayan Na!!"
dahil malakas ang boses nya, we attract attention plus I'm riding in an expensive car, so maybe it is one of the reason why he's shouting at me.

"Miss, ano ba ang sadya mo?" Sabad ng isa pang lalaki na sa tingin ko ay kasama ng sa harap ko, bumaling sya sa lalaking sumigaw sa akin,"At ikaw naman Arturo, di mo pa nga kilala yung tao, makasigaw ka parang wala ng bukas," then he looked at me,"pasensya na sa kasama ko."

I smiled at him,ignoring the deadly glares 'Arturo' giving me,"May bibisitahin lang sana sa loob, ahm, pwede po bang pakitingin lang kahit sandali ang kotse koat papasok ako sa loob" gumanti naman sya ng ngiti "ayus lang."

Bumaba na ako ng kotse at sisimulan na sanang humakbang papuntang entrance ng hinabol ako ng mama,"Miss, diba papasok ka sa loob?" naguguluhan ma'y tumango ako, "maaari bang humiling na sana ibalik nila ang pera naming inipon? May nagsabi kasi na hindi inaayus yung mga pera namin at may koneksyo ang may ari sa malalaking sindikato, gusto lang naman namin kasing ibalik nila ang inipon naming pera sa bangkong ito."

Ahh, so that's the story.

Tinapik ko ang balikat nya at nginitian sya habang ang isa kong kamay ay nakakuyom habang pinipigil ang galit na namumuo sa loob ko. "Wag kayong mag alala, susubukan ko."

"Salamat"sabi nya at umalis at humalo na sa kumpol kumpol ng tao.

Now, let's face my brother.

AS I enter inside the building, I saw my brother...he is calm while talking to a very familiar man to me.
A dealer in a Black Market.

"Français" tawag ko sa atensyon nya ng makalapit ako sa kinaroroonan nya.
I eyed the man he's talking to dangerously then to my brother's paled face. "W-what are you doing here?" bakit namumutla ang mukha nya? Hmm.

I smiled sweetly to him not minding the glares of the other personnel. "Ibalik mo ang pera" as soon as natapus ang sinabi ko ay naging mabagsik na ang mukha nya.

He smiled smugly at me,"Why would I? Atsaka kailangan ko yun dahil may bibilhin ako sa Black Market".
"And your using their money instead of your wealth?" I calmly said but deep inside me, I want to kill this man in front of me. "Why not? Sinunod ko lang naman ang suggestion ng asawa ko."

I laughed very hard. Pft.. what? That bitch? I laughed my stomach out ng walang ka poise poise, ng mapansin kong ako lang ang tumatawa ay tumikhim ako habang nakangiti,"di mo ibabalika ng pera?"

"Nope, never" as soon as I heard his answer, my face went blank as I start to turn my back to them,"Ok, expect yours and your wife downfall an hour later, see yah" I happily bid goodbye at them while taking a last glance to my brother who has now a paled face.

Problem solve.

Bumalik ako kung saan ang sasakyan ko ng salubungin ako ng lalaking si 'Arturo' na sya ring sumigaw kanina, katabi ang lalaking umawat sa kanya. "Anong nangyari?" tanong ng katabi ni Arturo. Ngumiti ako ng matamis sa kanila,

"Problem solved manong, check nyo nalang pagkalipas ng isang oras ang account nyo".

"T-talaga? Totoo ba yan Miss? Dyusko!salamat naman kung ganoon at may pang tuition na ang anak ko!"Masayng nagyakapan ang dalawa habang tinatanaw ko sila.

Dumiretso nalang ako sa sasakyan ko at papasok na sana ng magsalita ang mama sa akin, "S-sandali miss, anong pangalan mo? Ako pala si Andres" ngumiti nalang ako at tumuloy sa pagpasok at linisan ang lugar na yon.

"DAD" tawag ko sa atensyon nya ng makarating ako sa office nya, "Anong kaguluhan na naman ang ginawa mo?" kalmado nyang wika habang tinatanggal ang reading glasses.
I shrugged and I sit in front of him.

"Nothing, I told you, I just returned them the favor".

"And what about your brother? He told me about you, barging in to his business and he even told your mom that you threatened him." I chuckled coldy same as this old man in front of me.

"But apparently, sinunod nya ang sinabi ko. Afraid to be punished, but fortunately, hindi ko gagawin."

Just soon as I finished my sentence when my mother barge in with her wicked face--stepmother to be exact.

"Good afternoon Alíza" agad dumako ang masasamang tingin nya sa akin which I just shrug it off.

"You! You dare to threatened my son!" I just let a little smile escape from my lips "Not my fault."

"Bitch!" she shouted in front of me, which caught my father's attention and I suddenly felt the tension inside this room that even Alìza felt it.

"Dare to say it again Alìza" my father's calm voice make Alìza's face paled as shít. So I will let my dad handle the situation  and bid goodbye to him, not minding the glares from Alìza and smiled at her.

But my smile fade away when I get out of the room,they deserved it. Because of them, I can't freed myself from hurting others and even my ownself.

I stopped walking when I hear their movements,they can't get away from me.

I ducked when a sudden attack from behind came and I backflipped as I ready my dagger. I noticed that there's so many of them, twenty I guess and they really had a courage to attack me inside our house where I can freely fight them.

I kicked the one who's holding a samurai and I step in the wall to gather a force and punch the another two with the handle and I picked the samurai and start fighting the remaining sixteen not minding the blood splattered on the floor--

"OhMyGod!!" I look at Alìza who's overreacting I guess, 'cause she close her mouth while gasping using her hands and also to try to hide the smirk on her ugly face, and beside her is my father who stared blankly at me.

I smirked to Alìza and pointed to the assasins who are now already dead,"See this Alìza? The same thing  that will happen to you the next time you won't stop pestering me."
I looked at my father blankly who doesn't even care what's happening around him.

This family is wrecked.

I quitely walk away and went to garage and choose my motorbike,my baby. I laughed silently I'm getting insane.

I start the engine and get out from the back gate and drive freely.
My brows knitted when I passed from the Mental Institution and the nurses I guess..? and other bodyguards are chasing the old woman which makes my blood boil.

Halata namang nahihirapan ang matanda pero parang ayaw talaga nitong magpahuli, she's bringing a small box which the design is very unfamiliar.

Sa sobrang curiousity ay di ko namalayang nahinto ko na ang motorbike sa harapan ng matanda. She stops running so I signaled the nurses and guards to stop.

"P-pero po baka atakihin kayo! May sakit po sya!" I glare to one of the nurse and finally, she shut up.

Binalik ko ang tingin ko sa matandang nasa harapan ko na tulalang nakatingin sa akin at mukhang iiyak pa, sa taranta ko ay natanong ko sya "Lola! Wag po kayong umiyak! Tahan na po"

She utter the words that makes me confuse even more,

"Aurora, pakiusap iligtas mo ang panahon namin, natin at ng lahat ng tao sa hinaharap, ikaw lang ang may kakayahang gumawa nun"
