Nang makauwi ako ay nakita ko si Savienna at Pierce na nag-uusap sa labas ng mansyon. Napataas ang kilay ko at tahimik ng lumapit sakanila, they looked at me at agad namang nanlaki ang mata ni Savienna. What's wrong?
"Sabrina, andito kana pala.." Savienna said she still looked shocked. Ano ba pinag-uusapan nila ni Pierce?
"Bakit kayo andito sa labas?" Tanong ko kay Savienna. Napatingin ako kay Pierce and as usual naka poker face lang siya at parang walang pakealam sa mundo.
"Ahm, nandun kasi sa loob ang cousins ni Saint they are talking about what to do with his body..kung ililibing ba o cremated." Nakaramdam ako ng sakit sa dibdib ko. Saint's body...I sighed. The whole truth really hurts me so bad.
Kinabahan ako. Cousins. His family na kahit kailan ay hindi ko nakikita. Papasok na sana ako sa loob ng agad akong pinigilan ni Savienna.
"Huwag ka munang pumasok, everybody is being chaotic. Ayokong madamay ka sa loob." Sabi ni Savienna, nangunot naman ang noo ko sa sinabi niya. Madamay? Ano ba ang ibig niyang sabihin?
"Hey Sabrina just listen to us okay? Tsaka mapapaaga ang pag-alis natin sa Antique." She added.
"Bakit?" Naguguluhan kong tanong.
"Sudalga's are planning to ambush everyone, including you." Agad akong nangilabot sa sinabi ni Pierce. Napatingin ako sa mansyon ni Saint at agad nanikip ang dibdib ko.
Ang tinuring kong bahay ay hindi na ako makakatapak pa muli. Even the only person I trust the most is also gone now, I can't even imagine life without Saint but... I must move on. God has plans for me.
"Wala kabang gagawin?" Biglaang tanong ni Savienna saakin agad naman akong napalingon sakanya at tinaasan siya ng kilay.
"Saint is killed by them, they are planning to ambush the people you love. And here you are acting like a teenage girl, na parang broken hearted." Natatawang sabi ni Savienna, agad akong naguluhan sa pag-iiba ng ugali ni Savienna. Earlier she was very gentle but I think her psychotic mode just rage on.
"Wala naman akong magagawa. I'm weak Savienna." Simple kong sabi. Napatingin ako kay Pierce at nakita kong busy siya sa cellphone niya.
"Stop talking nonsense Sabrina, we Lacsamana's are born to be mafias. Ikaw lang siguro ang maiiba sa lahat..." She exposed. Sinasabi niya bang may iba pa kaming pamilya na kasali sa underground?
"Wala ka man lang gagawin? The people you trust are having faith on you to have a revenge dahil sa pagkamatay ni Saint. And here you are chilling like a cool teenage girl." Savienna said sarcastically.
Revenge? I have no plans for that. I am too weak for that, hindi ko nga kaya protektahan ang sarili ko na ako lang mag-isa, ang maghiganti pa kaya? All my life I'm only depending on Saint. At ang pagkawala niya ay ang pagkaguho narin ng kalahati ng buhay ko.
"I can't Savienna, I can't fight. I am not strong like you." Mahina kong sabi. Huminga ng malalim si Savienna at tiningnan ako ng diretso sa mata.
"Listen you stupid. Hahayaan mo nalang bang kunin ka ng mga Sudalga? Saint has been protecting you kahit na buhay niya ang kapalit niya. And here you are doing nothing, it's time for you to make a move Sabrina. It's time for you to stop depending on someone. Move, protect your own life. Saint is not here anymore to become your knight." Dahil sa mga sinabi ni Savienna ay napagtanto ko na ang lahat.
Saint is protecting me even if it costs his life. And here I am depending on him in my whole life. I should help him, I should be the one to finish on what he started.
I can't let anyone hurt the people I love anymore. I won't let them touch any strands of their hair. Tama si Savienna, dahil wala na si Saint hindi na ako pwedeng maging mahina. Hindi ako pwedeng umasa nalang sakanila ni Pierce.
Napatingin ako kay Savienna. She raised her eyebrows like she is waiting for my answer. I sighed.
"Savienna, help me. Enroll me to the underground school." I finally said. A wide grin showed to Savienna's face and even Pierce looked at me with amusement.
"Cool! That's right!"
