Welcome to Hell!
-1st August
I am still staring at the letter that I am holding. It's been a week since I last received the first letter. What confuses me is that the signature changed. Last week it was 2nd October and now it's 1st August. May koneksyon ba ang dates sa mangyayari sa akin? Bigla akong nakaramdam ng takot. Oh no! Paano kung death threat nga ito? Jusko! Ayoko pang mamatay!
"Hi Via!"
Dali-dali kong tinago yung liham sa bag ko bago pa makita ni Chen. Hindi naman sa ayokong malaman niya. I just want to figure out it first before telling her.
"Good morning Chen" bati ko pabalik.
"Let's go?"
"Go where?" Naguguluhan kong tanong. Kanina pa ako nasa loob ng classroom at parang walang planong pumasok yung mga kaklase namin kaya nagtataka na ako.
"It's Tuesday" she said in a stating the obvious tone.
"Anong meron sa Tuesday??"
"Do you even know where the name Tuesday came from?"
"No" I said plainly.
"Tuesday was derived from Mars, the fourth planet from the sun. Tīwesæg, Tuesday! Tiu, like Mars, is the god of war"
"So?"
She rolled her eyes heavenwards na para bang ang slow ko. Kasalanan ko ba na bago ako dito at walang kaalam-alam sa mga pangyayari?
"There will be war" she said flatly.
Wait what?! War?!
"War?!"
"Yup" masaya niyang tugon. At masaya pa talaga siya sa magaganap na war 'a.
"A war? Between what?!"
"Between boys and girls. There's only one rule, don't get caught. Layuan mo ang mga lalaki ngayong araw and you'll be fine"
"B-Bakit?" Nauutal kong tanong.
"They won't hesitate on killing you" Napalunok ako ng laway pagkatapos niyang sabihin yun. Anong klaseng paaralan ito? Bakit may war day?
"Kaya tara na bago pa tayo mahuli" she started dragging me out of the room. Saan kami pupunta? Diba war day? Dapat nasa bahay nalang ako para safe!
"Saan tayo pupunta?"
"Sa auditorium. Lahat ng estudyante ay nandun. Pero ipinaghiwalay ang mga lalaki sa babae. A representative from each party would draw a paper"
"Anong bubunutin nila?"
"Either we go offense or defense?"
Offense and defense? Meaning...
*gulp*
"Y-You mean..."
"Yes. Pwedeng tayo ang papatay at sila ang tatago, o, sila ang papatay at tayo ang tatago"
"That's inhumane!"
