Tale 25
Death
Tulad ng sinabi ni Lauren sa gobernador, sya ang tinanghal na top notcher sa National Examination. Ito ang unang pagkakataon na mayroong nakakuha ng perfect score sa exam. Sa sobrang galak ng Presidente ng Ignis, agad nyang inimbitahan ang pamilya ng dalaga bilang pangunahing bisita sa pagdiriwang ng makasaysayang Examination ngayong taon.
"Congratulations Lady Lauren!" bati ng isang bisita
"I knew you could do it!"
"Congratulations!"
"You were always doing your best. No wonder you aced the exams!"
"Congrats! You will surely become a well-respected public official!"
"I heard a lot about your good deeds and your good reputation."
"Lady Lauren is such an angel!"
"Good luck with your career path Lady Lauren! I will always cheer you on!"
Ilang pasasalamat ang ibinigay ni Lauren sa mga bisita.
It was overwhelming. Tila nakalimutan na nila ang mga paninira ni Irish sa kanya.
Marami pang bumati sa kanya. Maging mga kilalang politiko ay nais syang makilala.
Nagpatuloy ang kasiyahan. Ang mga nakatatanda ay puro tungkol sa pulitika ang pinagdidiskusyunan. Habang nagkakasiyahan naman ang mga kabataan na inimbitahan ngayong gabi.
Pinili ni Lauren na manahimik sa isang sulok habang pinapanood ang nagaganap na kasiyahan.
"Is it really okay for me to be here?" Tanong ni Aurio habang umiinom ng wine.
"Of course. You are part of the plan remember?" Nakangiting tugon ni Lauren
"Dahil dyan kaya ako kinakabahan!" Aurio
"Relax." Chill na tugon ni Lauren
"Crap.. My tummy.. CR lang ako." Aurio sabay takbo
Natawa si Lauren. Mukang kinakabahan nga talaga ang binata.
"Tsk. Some people truly love attention." Komento ng isang pamilyar na tinig
Hindi ito pinansin ni Lauren. Ipinagpatuloy lamang nya ang pag-inom ng wine.
"Are you deaf? Im talking to you!" inis na bulyaw ni Irish kay Lauren
"Oh? You're talking to me? I thought you only like to talk about me behind my back?" Inosenteng tugon ni Lauren
"Nonsense! Stop accusing me!" Irish
"Is that all you have to say? Come on. Keep talking. If you keep trying you might say something intelligent." Lauren
"Hmmp! You're only good at insulting other people! I wont forget your comments about my make up! For your information, they're all branded. See, Im using it now? And they all look so natural." Saad ni Irish
"Oh? Bakit di mo I-try kainin yang make up mo? Baka sakaling gumanda din yang kalooban mo?" Lauren
"Why are you so mean?" melodramatic na tanong ni Irish. Trying to act like a victim... Pinagtitinginan na sila ng ibang mga bisita.
"Congratulations on your ability to create a drama out of absolutely nothing." Papuri ni Lauren
"Hmmmp! You were insulting me, how is that nothing? Your opinion were always rude and offensive!" Irish
"I offend you with my opinion? Then you will definitely cry when you hear the things I keep to my self." Casual na tugon ni Lauren
"See? You're so rude!" Irish
