Damgeen High School Musical (Double Trouble Series #2)

Chapter 21

Chapter 21

Guitar Solo

Damgeen has still an hour to prepare for the kickoff. While everybody was so excited and thrilled, I was here... in front of the room they loathed the most. Just like me.

Natanto kong marami kaming pagkakapareho ng kuwartong ito at ng mismong nilalang na pinaniniwalaang nakakulong dito. The three of us were haunted, abandoned, pressured, and in dark, castaway.

Wala akong pinagkaiba. Dahil kahit ako na lang ang buhay pa sa amin, pakiramdam ko'y sinusunog na rin ang kaluluwa ko sa parusang natatamasa ko ngayon.

My parents neglected and abandoned me when I was still a child. But they were able to take care of an illegitimate one.

They handed me off to someone I don't know. Pero kung sino pa ang hindi ko kadugo, sila pa ang nagparamdam sa akin ng tunay na pagmamahal at naging tapat sa akin. Or so I thought.

Their relatives were grossed out and disgusted to me. They want me off Maddison's life. They cursed me numerous times. Just like what these people were doing to me.

As if my situation wasn't unfortunate enough, someone dear to me... he wanted me gone his life. Just by simply asking me to delete his number, that's what I fucking felt!

It was as if he wanted me to let go of him! So could anybody tell me, how could I trust him? And what? Don't forget to remember him, he said? What trivial paradox was that?

Akala ko ay muli akong nakatagpo ng mga kaibigan na totoo sa akin sa katauhan nila Dante, Kaharayan, at SOLMA. Ngunit kung kailan unti-unti nang matatapos ang binubuo kong ang tiwala sa kanila, siya pang pagtalikod din nila sa akin.

I smiled forlornly to myself.

Kawawa ka naman. What did I say about commitments, Mich? I thought no more any deeper relationships than acquaintances? See what you signed up for? You did this to yourself! You're a disaster!

Pagkabukas ko ng pinto ng silid ay agad kong sinipa ang pader na pinakamalapit sa akin. Saka ko lang napagtantong punong-puno na ng luha ang mga mata, na sa isang kisapmata lang, agad na iyong dumaloy sa pisngi ko.

"I hate you! If you all hate me, then I fucking hate you more, you bunch of unsound creatures!" I screamed with all my heart before dropping myself on the nearest armchair's desk.

Wala na akong pake kung pati iyon ay ma-record nila. Edi ipakalat nila! Na hanggang ngayon ay nagtatanim pa rin ng sama ng loob si Minerva!

"Am I one of them?"

Napabalikwas ako sa kinauupuan nang mula sa dilim ay biglang nagpakita si Klavier.

Napakurap-kurap ako. Hindi ko napansing may iba pa palang tao dahil bukod sa madilim ang silid, mukhang nakatambay pa ito sa sulok kung saan pinakamadilim.

Idagdag pa na masyado akong nadala sa emosyon, laking gulat ko nang biglang may nagsalita at sumulpot.

Hindi ako nakapagsalita dahil agad nawala sa isip ko ang sinabi niya.

Klavier walked towards the desk in front with a proud gait. Sumandal siya nang bahagya roon at tiniklop ang mga braso. Now he's shedding a shadow of light.

But unlike my past encounters with him, he wasn't wearing just a simple shirt and jeans today. Instead of his black cap and wayfarers, he's wearing a black beanie and aviators now, looking very manly and virile. And his black mask, it's not properly worn. It's only worn until his chin so his narrow nose and lips were visible. However, because of the darkness, he still looked vague to me.
