LORELEI
"I want you to take down Augustus Moran. I want you take the black bishop off the board."
LUTHOR'S WORDS repeatedly rang in my ears. Parang na-LSS ako sa sinabi niya sa 'kin. Like a song that was on repeat in my head. It's not the way he said it or how his voice sounded when he said it. It's more on the weight of the task that he has given us.
Until now, wala pa rin akong idea kung ano ang pinaplano niya. He kept telling me that he's only waiting for the perfect opportunity. He's like a hunter in the woods, waiting silently behind a bush for his prey. Bago siya makagalaw, kailangan munang mawala ni Augustus sa landas niya. I wonder why?
Still I trust him and his words. I have no reason not to. But I was hoping he would reveal more. What exactly was he planning to do? Sino-sino ang kasama? Madadamay ba kami o mag-isa lang siyang gagalaw? I had so many questions in my mind.
Maybe he didn't tell me yet to keep everything on track. If he revealed his plan to me, baka madiskaril ang binabalak niya. Funny, this reminded me of those times na naglihim sa akin si Loki. Remember when he suspected Jamie all along? He kept me in the dark about his thoughts. He only told me noong nagkabukingan na. And that deeply wounded me.
Sariwa pa ang sugat sa akin, but I've been telling myself that maybe it's for the best. Maybe it was done with the purest of intentions. Kailangan kong i-convince ang sarili ko na "Oo, nasaktan ako pero 'di ko pwedeng kimkimin nang matagal ang sakit na 'yon." Wala rin kasing magbabago kung magdu-dwell ako sa nakaraan. Nangyari na, eh. Kailangan ko nang mag-focus sa kung ano ang problem sa kasalukuyan.
Magkapatid nga ang dalawang 'yan. But what else can I do except to trust them? I'd like to believe na may mas malalim na reason kung bakit hindi nila sine-share sa akin ang mga balak nila. Loki's excuse was to protect the bond that I built with Jamie. He was afraid that if I found out the truth, I might change how I interact with her. As for Luthor? I have no idea.
"Lori, okay ka lang?" tanong ni Alistair. Nakakunot ang kanyang noo at kanina pa siya pasulyap-sulyap sa akin. Magmula yata noong lumabas ako sa student council office, nakapinta na ang pagka-concern sa kanyang mukha. "Mukhang malalim ang iniisip mo, ah?"
Napabuntong-hininga ako. Masyado na sigurong obvious sa facial expressions ko. Ikaw ba naman ang bigyan ng ganitong task? I have no one to thank but Luthor for bugging me. "Medyo. Ang dami ko nang iniisip tapos may dumagdag pa."
"Tungkol ba 'to sa sinabi ni Luthor?" sunod niyang tanong. "Your mood changed as soon as you got out of the student council office. Did he something that upset or bothered you?"
