Bachelor Series #1: Black Regoir (COMPLETED)

Chapter 27

~Yrah's POV

"YRAH, PWEDE BA, stop walking back and forth! Nahihilo na ako sa'yo," iritang saad ni Hera sabay hawak sa kan’yang nuo na para bang nahihilo nga.

Isang malalim na buntong-hininga rin ang pinakawalan ko bago napapikit sa inis at hinarap siya.

"I can't help it! Damn! Everything was shattered, lahat ng plano kong binuo naglaho at ngayon ay nahanapan pa ako ng butas ng potang'nang Restante na yun! Damn it! I wanna rip his neck!" Padabog akong naupo at napahawak din sa nuo ko.

My insides are boiling hot. I can feel my hands shaking in both fear and anger.

"And whose fault is that? Akin ba, ha akin? Hindi ka kasi nag-iingat! You forgot to disguise yourself, Yrah! Kaya ka nabisto!"

"Okay fine! My fault then! What can I do? You pushed me back to this too, I tried to stay away, but you…you were always there to push me to stay!"

"What?! Wala akong naaalala ah, wala akong sinabing manatili ka sa tabi ni Black——"

"Hindi lang naman sa kanya. Wala ka ngang sinabi but you tried to——"

"——I said try to be easy to them, to your friends and to him! Huwag masyadong matigas at malamig, malay ko bang mauuwi sa ganiyan——"

"I thought the same——"

"Putang'na! Ang iingay niyong dalawa! Can't you stop?"

Magsasagutan pa sana kami ni Hera nang biglang bumukas ang pinto ng kwarto ni Nicolas at lumabas siya. Bagong paligo.

Agad akong napairap at ganun din si Hera. I can't believe that we're arguing over this matter.

I don't deny that this is partly my fault but can't she just help me without slapping in my face that it's my fault?

"Si Yrah kasi, nahihilo na ako sa kaniya sumasagot pa ng pabalang," asik ng pinsan kong agad nagpainit sa ulo ko.

"Wow! Really? So I'm not allowed to talk back now? I was just offended, couz. Alam ko namang kasalanan ko pero kailangan pa ba talagang ipamukha mo? Imbis damayan mo ako?" I retorted. In some point, her reaction made sense. It's because she likes Black, too!

"E ano ba ginagawa ko? Nag-iisip din naman ako ng plano ah? Kainis ka kasi eh!"

"Naiinis ka kasi nagseselos ka! You liked Black, right?" Her eyes immediately widened in my accusation. I then felt bad knowing it.

"W-What?! The hell, it's not like that!"

"Then what is it like? Now you're subtly blaming me that Black's life is in danger because you're jealous, too!" Akusa ko pa ulit at ilang beses siyang napailing-iling.

Gusto niyang magsalita pero walang lumabas sa bibig niya kaya napangiti ako ng mapait. For some reason, her silence affected me. It made me think that I was right.

"Enough. Ladies, that's enough. Hindi dapat kayo nag-kakasamaan ng loob dito. We're allies, ginugulo lang tayo ng Restante'ng yun." Pumagitna na si Nicolas at sabay kaming nag-iwas ng tingin ni Hera.

Alam na rin nilang dalawa ang problema ko at imbis na masolusyunan yun nagkasagutan pa kami ni insan.

Nakabusangot na naupo ulit si insan at ako naman ay nagtungo sa kusina para uminom ng tubig. Pagbalik ko ay nagsasalita pa rin si Nicolas at pinapayuhan kami.

"Okay, forgot your personal matters for now and let's plan about this. Kung bakit kasi ngayon mo lang 'to sinabi sa'min, Yrah." Inirapan ko rin siya.

"Hindi kasi ako maka-tyempo, hindi nga ako lumabas sa bahay dalawang araw na dahil maraming naka-aligid. Baka pasukin ang bahay at makatunog din silang may binabalak ako," that's the truth. When Restante gave me three days to decide, I've been busy thinking of a counterblow alone.
