Angel In Disguise

Chapter 6 - Maleficent's punishment

Maleficent's punishment

~*~

Cia's POV

Last day na namin sa Outdoor tour, then back to basics. School again! T_T

"Cia, Greg the annoyance told me to inform you that we will be having a talk later afternoon. Sama ka ba? Hindi naman requirement na sumama. Yung mga may gusto lang."

"Tinatamad ako. Ikaw ba?"

"Kung may pogi, surebols. Pero kung wala, hindi na lang." She chuckled and continued reading her book novels. Ewan ko kung bakit napaka-bibliophile ng babaeng 'to. I think she can't live without books!

Dahil wala naman akong makausap dito sa kwarto, sinabihan ko si Jhen na lalabas na muna ako. She nodded and continued giggling.

Naglakad-lakad muna ako sa garden. It's a bit sunny pero hindi naman nakakapaso kaya okay lang na magpaka-emo dito. Umupo muna ako sa bench na may mga nakapalibot na mga halaman.

I shutted my eyes and felt the warm embrace of the wind. Napakapayapa. If only I can stay this peaceful for the rest of my life.

"Well, you can feel peace in the rest of this lifetime if you would choose to change your mindset." Napadilat ako sa gulat. Unknown creature's now standing infront of me.

Napakacreepy rin talaga. I hope he's not demonic or else, magwawala at tatakbo ako dito. But I think he isn't, kilala niya si Mama Mary but still, I don't believe. Diba dating angel si Satan naging masama siya kaya tinggalan siya ng pakpak. He became a demon yet he still knows things about God. Sinisiraan niya ito sa mga tao but he pretends to be nice hanggang sa makuha na niya ang tiwala ng tao and boom! Gagawin niyang apprentice ang biktima.

"Enough with your theory, stupid." He looked dismayed and turn his back on me. Aba! suplado!

Anghel ba talaga siya? He just called me stupid, wala namang ganoong anghel diba? I thought angels are nice, heavenly, and nurturing pero siya? Nevermind.

"Hanggang kailan mo ako pagdududahan?" He crossed his arms and sat down beside me. Tinitigan lang niya ako at tila ba inaaninag ang bawat detalye ng mukha ko.

"Really? You would just look at me?" I glared at him and BOOM!

Puro usok ang paligid, may nakahawak sa kamay ko ng mahigpit. I can't recongnize the person holding my left hand pero sa pagkakaalala ko, si unknown creature ang kasama ko kanina.

Naglalakad lang kami habang nakahawak pa rin siya sa kamay
ko. Lakad lang kami ng lakad, wala akong nararamdamang kaba o takot. Sobrang gaan lang ng pakiramdam ko. Hanggang sa may maaninag akong tao na naglalakad papalapit sa direksyon namin ni UC. By then, I felt a pang in my heart. I can clearly see my mother's face, though she's not my biological mother but she raised me as if I came from her womb.

My tear fell when I felt her touch my face. She smiled and nodded at UC, "Please take care of my princess."

UC nodded and hugged me tight.

Napamulat na lamang ako na nasa kwarto na uli ako kasama si Jhen. I saw how worried she is. Kanina pa pala siyang nagbabantay sa akin hanggang sa magising ako. I thanked her and curiously asked.

"Ano bang nangyari sa akin?" She rolled her eyes and glared at me.

"Nagpaalam ka sa'kin na lalabas ka. Sinundan kita, I'm curious of you. Then, nakita ko na may kausap ka. A white entity pero hindi ko mamukhaan. The entity sat beside you. Tapos ayun, you fainted. Dumaan si Greg Annoyance kaya kahit nayayamot ako sa kanya, humingi ako ng tulong para madala ka dito sa kwarto. Siya yung nagbuhat sa'yo tapos tuloy-tuloy lang yung tulog mo hanggang sa nagising ka." My jaw literally dropped. Nakita niya talaga?! What the! Nag iisa na nga lang yung kaibigan ko dito, baka mawala pa. She'll think I'm creepy then she'll leave me.

"Cia, tell me, ano bang nangyayari sa'yo? I mean, anong connection niyong dalawa nung white entity na nakikita kong palagi na kasama mo?"

"I can't tell it to you. Confidential." She just rolled her eyes and shrugged her shoulders. "Fine. But soon, you'll tell me. By the way, I'm not new to this kind of encounters. May third eye ako, they think I'm a complete weirdo slash psychopath but I'm not. Atleast 'di na ako nag iisa, kasama na kita." She smiled and cling her right arm to my shoulders. She's weird too, at napakabipolar rin. Kanina lang, galit-galitin siya pero ngayon? She's smiling like there's no tomorrow.

"Well, let's just eat downstairs, my weird friend." Hinila niya ako pababa habang nakangiti pa rin.

"Huwag kang masyadong ngumiti. It'll creep them." Bulong ko habang bumababa kami ng hagdanan.

"Ikaw naman, masaya lang ako. Let's go sit there!" She pointed at table near my wicked cousin who's rolling her eyes.

"She's pathetic. Don't mind that ugly woman, Dianne. You're way preetier than her." Kung alam lang nila kung gaano kabitch yung pinsan ko, they'll stay away from her. Nakakalungkot lang dahil bulag sila sa katotohanan or.. ganoon rin siguro ang mga ugali nila.

"Ugh! I hate them! Paano mo natitiis ang ugali ng pinsan mo?" Clenching her fist, I just looked at her furrowing my forehead.

"Bitch rin ako, you know? Kaya kinakaya ko naman." Umupo na kami at hinintay yung magsserve sa amin ng pagkain. I smiled when I saw our class president approaching.

"Hello blockmates! Here's your foods. Wala kasing magdadala dito, so I decided to bring it here."

"Walang nagtatanong, shut up." Greg looked away and just smiled at me, napahiya kasi.

"May I ask you, Jhen. Why do you hate him?" She cleared her throat and answered, "I just hate it when someone cares for me. He cares for me that's why I'm hating him. Masyado siyang pakialamero at good boy. I just--ugh! Hate him."

I nodded and took a spoonful of rice and giniling. Everything went smoothly but not until the wicked Maleficent went near us. Umeeksena na naman siya. I hate her and her childishness. Nakakaasar!

"Hey, looser!" Hindi ko na lang ito pinansin at pinagpatuloy ang pagkain. Kapag pinatulan ko na naman siya, darating na naman ito kay Mr. Garcia. And I don't want him to visit me and slap my face again.

Kagaya ko, hindi na rin pinatulan ni Jhen si Maleficent. She kept herself quite while clentching her fists.

She held my hand and glared at me. "Cia, please go to hell." Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin. Sobra na talaga siya sa pagiging bitch.

"I think, you should go first, girl. Besides, hell is your home." Jhen, being the queen bee said with grimace. Hands down sa kanya. She's a total queen.

Ilang minutong katahimikan ang namayani sa hall. Everyone were whispering, yung iba naghahagikhikan dahil napahiya na naman si Maleficent. They were shocked when Maleficent poured me a glass of cold water, but I wasn't. Gusto niyang magpakabitch ako? So be it. Hindi ko siya aatrasan.

"Sa tingin ko, mas kailangan mong mabuhusan ng malamig na tubig," I paused and looked at her from head to toe. "You're soul is burning in hell." I smirked and turned my back. Pero hindi pa man ako nakakalayo, hinablot niya uli ako at sinabutan.

Pinagkaisahan na nila ako ng mga kaibigan niya, while there's Jhen helping me out. Pero out of them, talong-talo kaming dalawa. Napakarami nila and here we are, dalawa lang. Buti na lang inawat na sila ni Greg at ng iba pang class presidents.

"UGH! GET OFF ME!" Sigaw ni Maleficent sa mga nakahawak sa kanya habang tinitigan niya lang ako at muli na namang susugudin when someone appeared. Naglalakad siya ngayon sa gitna ng kumpol ng estudyanteng kanina pang nakikiusyoso. He looked so mysterious with his black sunglasses and black coat.

"Everyone, I'm Gab. Please take my words seriously, Miss." He pointed Maleficent. Hindi pa rin niya tinatanggal ang sunglasses niya. "Don't be such a stubborn student. Napaka
childish ng ginawa mo. Takaw-gulo ka, and that is something WeastMead university shouldn't tolerate." He putted his hands inside his pocket and turned his back at us.

"By the way, if you're wondering whom I really are. I'm Gabriel Angelo Javier, son of WeastMead's congress president for student affairs, Manuelo Javier. As per your attitude to your fellow schoolmate, I'll report you now. At wag kang mag alala, you have your friends with you." So, he's my half brother? Javier siya diba? Thanks to him.
