Ellah's POV
Days has passed and luckily our school's program went well.
Kaya naman nakakapagbasa na ako ng matiwasay dito sa favorite spot ko, ang green house ng school.
Napatigil ako sa pagbabasa ng tumunog ang intercom ng school.
"Attention to Ms. Ellah Frerire, kindly proceed to the office of the headmaster."
"Attention to Ms. Ellah Frerire, kindly proceed to the office of the headmaster."
Why would the headmaster called for me?
I don't know, but my mind is saying I shouldn't go there, but my curiosity is killing me.
Wala naman sigurong mawawala kung pupunta ako doon diba?
After minutes of deciding, pumunta na ako sa office ng headmaster, trying to calm my irregular heartbeat.
Pagpasok na pagpasok ko sa silid ng headmaster ay agad akong nakaamoy ng napakapamilyar na amoy.
Too late, I inhale it already.
Ilang segundo nga lang ang nakalipas at nawalan na ako ng malay.
•••
Unti-unti kong iminulat ang aking mga mata.
I found out that I'm in a dark room with hands chained behind my back.
Ginapangan naman ako ng takot.
A nightmare suddenly flash in my mind.
"Glad you're awake."
Napatingin naman ako sa taong kakapasok lang sa silid na kinalalagyan ko.
"W-where am I? Who a-are y-you? "
"I'm no one. I just wanna ask you about something. Someone dived and hacked our site. And it's a very 'bad' thing. Am I right?"
Agad naman akong napatango.
Of course it was.
Your just putting your life in line. Wait... Don't tell me...???
"A-and you t-think I am t-the person b-behind that h-hacking 'i-incident'? " May halong takot kong tanong sa kanya.
Pero tinignan niya lang ako ng mabuti instead na sumagot.
"M-may ikinat-takot po ba k-kayong malaman ng i-iba?" Lakas loob kong tanong.
" Curiosity always kills a cat. Don't let you curiousness lead you to your own downfall young lady."
Napalunok naman ako sa sinabi niya.
"Well, we have made an investigation. And it lead us to you. Now, are you that person?" Napalunok ulit ako sa takot at mabilis na umiling.
"I-I don't k-know how to h-hack." Nauutal kong sagot.
Tumango naman siya.
"I don't know if you're telling the truth or not. Lucky you, nakakawit sa pangalan mo ang apelyido ng mga malalaking tao, dahil kung hindi, baka pinaglamayan kana ngayon."
Napatitig ako sa kanya ng marinig ko iyon.
"I want you to choose. Dead or alive?"
Napakislot ako sa narinig.
I-is he s-serious? Ganun pa man, agad akong sumagot.
"A-alive...??" Hindi ko siguradong sagot.
"Then let's make a deal. You'll stay here alive and kicking until we get to the bottom of this incident, you'll study here and survive."
Walang pag-alinlangang pumayag ako.
Kesa naman sa maaga akong mamatay.
Diba?
"S-survive? A-ano pong k-klaseng paaralan i-ito?"
Pinapahirapan kaya nila ang mga estudyante dito?
Wag naman sana.
Pero hindi niya ako sinagot, ngunit iba ang sinabi niya.
"Let me remind you young lady, no connection is allowed from the outside of the academy. Or else, your friends will be the one to face the consequences. Are we clear?"
Mabilis pa sa kidlat na ako'y tumago.
Lalo na ng ipakita niya sa akin ang isang larawan, at nandoon lahat ng mga kaibigan ko.
