NOPI 71: Now tell me.. who made you do it
NOPI Chapter 71
Sephine's POV
"J-josephine.. The muse of the main branch of the family Falcon.. Oh my god... I'm sorry.. I'm sorry... I didn't know.. I really didn't know..."
*sob
*sob
*sob
".................." - me
Well.. That's something..
Ang bilis non ah?
Wala pa naman akong sinasabi ah?
Na-nakakatakot ba talaga ang itsura ko o nakakagulat to the point na iniiyakan niya na ako't talagang linuluhod luhodan pa?
"Uhm, young miss, you're day dreaming again," bulong ni Lucas kaya naman nagising na ako sa pagde-day dream at agad na napa-"Tsk" at binigay kay Lucas ang wine glass pero hindi parin tumatayo
"Why are you crying? You think I'll eat you or something?" tanong ko dahilan kung bakit mas umiyak siya lalo kaya naman kumunot na ang noo ko't agad na napairap nalang ng mga mata ko
"Apology accepted. It's just what I wanted. I never really planned on doing anything to you," sagot ko dahilan kung bakit siya natigilan saka ako tinignan
"E-eh? B..but Nicole and her friends.."
"Ah, that? The eldest cousins did those things to them. You should be thankful that it was me. If it was them, hindi ko talaga alam kung anong mangyayari sayo" sagot ko dahilan kung bakit siya bumugtong hininga
Looking at her relieved expression, I immediately suppressed my wicked smile.
"Hmm. At the very least, if it really was them.. you're perfectly shiny and rebonded, black silky straight hair would probably be.." sagot ko kaya naman hinintay niya akong ipagpatuloy ang sasabihin ko
"It would probably be on the floor right now and if they're still not satisfied, you would probably be bald right now," napanganga na siya't umiyak ulit
Nang makita ko ang nakakaawa niyang itsura ay nagpigil na ako ng tawa.
Tinignan naman ako ni Lucas dahilan kung bakit ako napatingin sakanya. Nang umiling iling nalang siya sa kalokohang pinanggagawa ko ay sinupress ko nalang ang tawa ko't agad na sumeryoso.
"Try crying and wasting my time some more, I'll be sure to call them straight away," sagot ko dahilan kung bakit siya nagulat at agad na pinigilang umiyak at tumingin sa sa akin
"There, there. Seriously, I just wanted to hear your apology. It's enough. Like I said earlier, I won't try to do anything to you because you're not really worth the hassle"
Tumahimik naman siya kaagad.
She didn't know whether to laugh or cry because I forgave her and insulted her at the same time.
Hahahaha.
"T-thank you, Ate Josephine. Thank... Thank you. I promise I won't do it again"
"Of course, on one condition" sagot ko kaya naman agad siyang lumapit sa akin... habang nakaluhod
Well..
That was awkward. Sobra isang meter din ang layo namin eh. HAHAHAHA. Silly kid!
"What is it? I'll do anything!" sagot niya kaya naman kumunot na ang noo ko
"Wag na wag mong gagamitin ang talento mo sa ganitong paraan EVER AGAIN. If possible, use it for more useful things. You're worth so much more than this. I really don't understand why you would belittle yourself like this. If it wasn't me and someone who doesn't forget grudges? They would've probably sued you and you'd probably have a stained reputation by now. At kapag may stain na ang reputasyon mo, anong mangyayari sa business niyo? Ikaw ang nag-iisang tagapagmana. Papayag ka bang mapunta sa iba ang pinaghirapan ng mga magulang mo't mga magulang nila?"
"Let me tell you this, Stephan. Don't take your talents for granted. Don't take things for granted. I think you already know the saying that great power comes with great responsibility. Your talent could be a double edged sword. Pwede itong pumatay ng tao o magligtas ng tao. Now, let me ask you.. What do you think is worth more than the other?" dagdag ko
She remained staring at me and kneeling at the same time pero after some time para bang may kung anong liwanag na nagpakita sa mga mata niya't tinitignan niya na ako na para bang kapuri puri kong tao. Ugh.
The hurdle.. is too much for me to handle.
Nang hindi siya nakasagot ay bumugtong hininga na ako saka sinenyasan si Lucas na tulungan siyang tumayo.
Nang maitayo na siya ni Lucas ay binigyan na siya ni Lucas ng panyo.
"Fix yourself. You make it seem like I was the one bullying you na ikaw naman talaga ang nambubully sa akin," sagot ko't nang makita kong iiyak nanaman sana siya ay pinanlakihan ko na siya ng mga mata dahilan kung bakit siya napa-zip ng bunganga niya't pinigilan nang umiyak
Nang makita ko ang nakakatawang ekspresyon niya eh natawa na ako kaagad.
"Now, do you promise?" tanong ko dahilan kung bakit siya tumango
"I promise" sagot niya't agad na nag ayos ng sarili niya
Nang matapos na siya ay napangiti na ako.
"Did you see Josephine here just now?" tanong ko dahilan kung bakit nasira ang mukha niya
"Are you.. threatening me again just now?" mahina niyang tanong kaya naman natawa ako kaagad
"If I don't do this, how can I make sure that you won't tell my secret? And why are you asking questions? Sa tingin mo ba sa kalagayan mo't kung nasan ka ngayon, may karapatan ka pang magtanong?" tanong ko pabalik dahilan kung bakit siya napatingin sa lupa
"Once again, did you see Josephine here?" tanong ko dahilan kung bakit niya tinaas ang ulo niya't tinignan na ako
"No, I didn't" sagot niya kaya naman tumango na ako
"Be sure to keep this a secret. I only told you this because your family's company is currently on the wait for a collaboration with the Falcon Empire" sagot ko dahilan kung bakit siya nagulat at agad na napalunok
At anong ibig sabihin non?
If I wasn't merciful enough, I would've already used my power as the muse of the main branch of the Falcon Family to blacklist their company in the industry.
Tulad nga ng sabi ko, swerte siya at ako ang binangga niya.
"Actually I have three reasons why I asked for your presence here," sabi ko dahilan kung bakit siya nagtaka
"First is to hear your apology, second is to make you promise not to misuse your talents and third.. is to know who made you do this and who gave you those photos you used in the thread" sagot ko kaya naman nagulat siya
"H-how did you know that it wasn't my idea and that those photos weren't mine?" tanong niya kaya naman napangiti na ako
"You're a freshmen student, a first year. Your schedule and our schedule aren't the same. You couldn't have possibly taken a photo of us from your own building which is three hallways away from ours. Even our break time's different. And since it's not allowed to let unauthorized people enter in this private school - like photographers, the only possible answer is that the person who took those photos are from my year and someone whose very close to me and my friends" sagot ko't tumahimik naman siya't halatang nagdadalawang isip kung magsasalita ba siya o hindi
"Now tell me.. who made you do it?"
