Page 12 – Tricks to Winning
AT THAT moment, what I wished for is for exhilaration to last. Gusto kong habang buhay na mapakiramdaman iyon. I don’t want that thrill to end. It made me feel so freaking alive.
Think positive and imagine my life once I’m a trillionare, gambling forever. With that money, I think I could even buy happiness. Happiness in form of material things. I could help the poor and those in need of help.
Hindi na ako magiging average. No individual trillionare is ever average.
Aangat ako. Hindi ko na kailangang maghintay. Kusa na silang lalapit sa akin at ako ang pipiliin. Then this time, I would slap it on their face how much it hurts not to be chosen. Para maramdaman nila. Para hindi sila magsawalang-kibo kapag ginawa muli nila ‘yon sa iba.
I could do all these with money. With lots and lots of money.
Zenair is right.
If you are powerful, you control the game.
And money is power.
“Risk.” sagot ko.
Napahagakhak muli si Undefeated, “So this is why you don’t bore him huh?” saad niya. Alam kong tinutukoy ni Undefeated si Zenair. “I understand now.” Undefeated added in amusement.
“Zenair isnt even playing with us. Don’t involve him.” pahayag ko.
“Oh he is,” saad ni Undefeated, “He is worse than me,” ibinigay ni Undefeated yung dice sa frontman, “Your boss, your Zenair, is always gambling and he found a kindred spirit in you.”
“Zenair is usually busy handling other business.” anas ko.
“But gambling is what he enjoyed the most,” sagot ni Undefeated. Nakapuwesto na muli ang dice, hinihintay ang taya namin. “Your kind is rare, Willow.”
A woman like you is rare, tanda kong binanggit rin ito sa akin ni Zenair. Hindi na lang ako nagkomento dahil excited na akong simulan ang laro, “Who should go first?”
“Let’s mention the color of our bet at the same time.” sabi ni Undefeated.
Napataas ang isa kong kilay, “Paano kung pareho tayo ng kulay?”
“We’ll settle it if it comes to that point. For now, let’s reveal our bet in one, two—green!”
“Red!” magkasabay naming binanggit ang kulay na tatayaan.
Napatawa muli ng malakas si Undefeated. Undefeated wiped some tears brought out by laughter and I caught a clear glimpse of Undefeated’s previously shadowed eyes.
A gray so pale.
Silver eyes.
Pamilyar.
“I’m so good at this,” komento ni Undefeated, “Let’s start, shall we?”
“You..” may pagtataka sa aking boses, “How are you related to Zenair?”
“If you win,” napahagikhik muli siya. Saglit lang pero nang-aasar ang tono. “..maybe I will tell you.”
“You will tell me.” hamon ko sa kaniya.
