CHAPTER 19: PROVOCATION
IT HAS BEEN a week since the engagement party at masasabi kong mas naging close kami ni Parcival dahil sa nangyari. I also made him promise not to tell the others na nakita niya akong umiyak. Other than that, normal lang naman ang naging takbo ng iba pang mga bagay ngunit hindi ko parin nakakausap si Nessa. Hindi ko siya mahagilap kaya medyo naiirita tuloy ako.
May nakita akong babaeng mukhang lampa kaya agad ko siyang nilapitan at kinalabit. Namilog naman ang mata niya nang makita ako.
"L-lucy.. w-wala po akong ginawa." She was trembling so hard that I wanted to laugh but I decided to state my purpose instead.
"Do you know a certain Vanessa here?" Bored kong tanong.
"H-hudgens?" She asked.
My eyebrows furrowed. "Are you fucking with me?" Irita kong bulalas dito.
"Hala! Hindi po. Sorry po!" Bigla siyang kumaripas ng takbo paalis.
"The fuck?" Nalilito kong wika.
I heard someone click their tongue. "Bully talaga kahit kailan. So ngayong wala na si July, iba naman bibiktimahin mo. Tapos ano? Sila naman ang papawalain mo?" There was a hint of anger in her voice.
I rolled my eyes and turned my attention towards her. "Aubrey." I faked a sweet smile.
Lumapit naman siya saakin at tumigil sa mismong harapan ko.
"Lucy." She spat, the usual venom in her voice.
"Oh, where's your partner-in-crime?" Napansin kong hindi niya kasi kasama si Mila. Speaking of Mila.. "Oh umuwi ba siya dahil pinaiyak mo? Nag-away kayo no?"
Her forehead creased. "What the hell are you saying?"
I shrugged my shoulders. "Diba the night of the party, she went home crying. Pinaiyak niyo ni July no?" Alam kong hindi niya ako sasagutin ng diretso kapag tinanong ko kung anong rason kung bakit sila nag-away kaya susubukan ko siyang i-provoke para madulas siya at siya mismo ang mag-sabi kung bakit sila nag-away.
She smirked, "I know what you're doing Lucy. Hindi mo ako maloloko dyan."
Oh well, I tried. Hindi naman pala kasing bobo ng iniisip ko si Aubrey.
"But for the sake of discussion, the reason why July and Mila fought was because of you."
I wasn't able to hide the surprise in my face.
Dahil saakin kaya sila nag-away? Huh?
"What do you mean?" Naguguluhan kong tanong.
"Can you believe that July wanted to make amends with you?" She laughed but there was no tinge of humor in them. "Of course hindi kami pumayag kasi alam namin kung gaano kasama ang ugali mo at kung ano ang ginawa mo sa kanya dati. Gusto lang naman protektahan ni Mila si July pero nagalit sa kanya si July. Edi wala kaming nagawa kun'di hayaan siyang makipag-usap sa'yo." Suddenly, her face contorted with anger. She jabbed me with her finger. "She only wanted to make reparation but what did you do?! You ordered your hitman to kidnap July!"
