I hated how certain words prevailed in my mind even in the midst of this fuck up situation. I just witnessed the King killed the girl he claimed to be in love. At first, I was bothered by the murder that took place right in front of my eyes, but as days passed, the scene became hazy in my mind, while Davil's words intensified my memory, like a leech etched in my thoughts.
'Minahal kita'
Halos isang linggo na simula nang namatay si Amber. Ang hirap paniwalaan na gano'n ang naging takbo ng mga pangyayari.
I pinched my cheeks in order to stay awake. Tumayo ako at kumuha ng panibagong mga libro bago muling sumampa sa kama. Tahimik sa loob ng dormitory kaya hindi naging mahirap ang mag-aral. Saunder became a beast as days passed by. Halos wala na akong naging maayos na tulog para lang tapusin ang quota araw-araw.
Pansamantalang lumipat muna ako sa dorm matapos ang mga nangyari. Mukhang naging maganda ang desisyon ko dahil mas natutukan ko ng maayos ang aking pag-aaral.
I rested my back in the head board when I suddenly remembered the confrontation that occured in the King's Edifice a day after Amber's death.
Tahimik akong nagbabasa nang biglang nakarinig ako ng malalakas na sigawan at mura. Ilang saglit pa, pumasok sa loob ang mga armadong kalalakihan habang pilit silang pinapalabas ng security ng King's Edifice.
"Stop telling me what to do! Kailangan kong kausapin si Davil. Pinatay niya ang anak ko!"
"Pero senator, hindi po kayo dapat pumasok ng walang pahintulot—"
"Shut up!"
Huminto sa harapan ko ang isang lalaking sa unang tingin pa lang alam kong hindi mabuti ang intensyon sa pagpunta dito. Nasa mid fifties ito sa aking tansya. Nakasuot ito ng eyeglass. Mataba at may malaking tiyan. Well, this man almost resembled the illustration of a corrupt politician. Nasa likuran niya nakapwesto ang mga lalaking may dalang mga baril. Walang nagawa ang mga tauhan ng King's Edifice nang hindi nakinig ang lalaki.
Umayos ako ng upo. Pinagmasdan ko ito. Ang mapanuri niyang tingin ay dumapo sa akin at ilang segundo akong pinagmasdan bago ito naging matalim. He laughed and pointed me.
"Who are you? The King's whore?"
My calm mood automatically shift. Tinaasan ko ng kilay ang lalaki. Padabog kong ibinaba ang hawak kong aklat bago pa ako dapuan ng kasamaan at ibato sa pagmumukha niya. I understand his grief and I'm even willing to help him talk to Davil but nevermind! He pressed the wrong button that triggered my rage. He just called me whore?
"And who are you? The King's royal pig?" I looked at his figure with obvious disgust. He won't earn even a little respect from me, simply because he doesn't deserve this. Pumasok itong walang pahintulot at pinagbantaaan pa ang mga nagbabantay. I knew the security can shoot this man in a heartbeat but since he's an important politician, they have no choice but to let him in with his tantrums.
"How dare you! Low class bitch! Walang modo!"
Tumayo ako at humalukipkip. Kahit ang malaki nitong pangangatawan ay hindi ko aatrasan.
"Stop talking about class, Mr. Royal pig, because obviously you don't have one. I'm not a bitch. I'm not a whore. If you want to talk to Davil please obtain permission." Kalmado kong sagot at muling umupo. Hindi ko na tiningnan ang kaniyang reaksiyon at ipinagpatuloy ang pagbabasa.
"I'm not done talking to you, where is Davil?"
"Baka nasa tiyan mo. Mukhang kasya naman siya diyan." Pamimilosopo ko.
