The Lips Of Red (A Girl Cursed Into A Gay)

Chapter 36 : I'm Not Sorry

Something is blinding my eyes as I opened them. The window is wide open allowing some blinding rays of the sun in. As I adjusted my eyes in the light, I've seen something that is shaped as a bird silhouette.

And then eventually, I've come to realize that the bird perched on the window is an owl! A freaking owl!

"Liham!" maligaya kong sigaw habang tumayo ako para kunin ang liham. Lumipad ang ibon palayo sabay ng pagtayo ko pero may nakita akong isang liham sa sahig na wari ko'y galing sa ibon!

I pick it up while a smile of satisfaction is spread on my face. I can't wait to read what kind of news Alunsina has for me today!

Jarred Grace De Amor,

Nais kong ibahagi sayo na bukas ay bibisita si Pulanbanga dito sa pamamahay ko kasama ang inyong ina. Hindi ko alam kung magtatagal ba sila o hindi, basta sigurado akong sila ay paparito.

Sana hindi mo ipapahalata kay Pulanbanga na ako ang nagtaksil sakanya. Alam kong masama ang ginawa kong taksilin siya, pero mas masama ang ginawa niya sayo. Magkaibigan kami pero dahil sa ginawa niya sayo hindi ko na alam kung anong kaya niyang gawin sakin kung sakali ako ay mahuli niya.

Kinakabahan,
Alunsina.

I feel a surge of euphoria as I have finished reading the letter. I even kissed the paper a hundred times because of the unexplainable excitement I have!

Finally, I'm going to face that stupid Pulanbanga! She will see how the true Jarred will crumble down her glory! She will taste the bitterness of my revenge!

Yes, Pulanbanga is powerful but of course, she will not use her force in front of mom because she's pretending to be the weak Jarred! So it will be easy for me to beat her down!

But how can I go down from the mountains? I need money! I can't just go down and eat nothing! So that's another problem.

And then suddenly, as if a light bulb is protruding out of my head, an idea is formed in my mind. Yes, a not so good idea.

Naligo na ako at naghanda ng pumunta sa mansion. Nang natapos na ay sumakay na ako sa carabao ni lolo para ihatid sa mansion. Nang nakarating na ay nagmamadali na akong pumunta sa lugar na naisipan kong puntahin.

"Hoy Jarred! Ikaw na muna ang maghugas ng pinggan!" sigaw ni Jane nang umakyat ako sa hagdan.

"Bahala ka diyan! May utos sa akin si Miss Kimber!" suplada kong sigaw pabalik.

Umagang-umaga ang gaspang na ng ugali! Nakakawala talaga ng mood ang malditang ito! Makakatikim rin yan sakin, hindi bukas o sa kinabukasan, kundi ngayon mismo!

Pumasok ako sa silid ng mga katulong. Natutulog sila sa bahay na ito, hindi katulad ng ibang mga katulong na katulad ko, sapagkat malayo ang kanilang bahay. Ang kanilang silid ay magulo at mainit sapagkat walang aircon pero may electric fan naman.

Without hesitation I opened the cabinet with Jane's name on it and I know that this is Jane's cabinet. Clothes and some objects are in a chaos inside as if a storm passed over it and my eyes rest on a single object right on the folded jeans.

It is a necklace with Jane's name as a pendant. I hastily pick it up and close the cabinet and went out of the room at last.

I heave a deep breath as I walk away from their room! Thanks God nobody noticed me!

Now I'm going to the next target, which is Miss Kimber's room! Kabisado ko na ang mga bagay bagay don sapagkat ako at si Jane ang palaging naglilinis sa kwarto niya.
