Nine Minutes - LEGACY #9 (AWESOMELY COMPLETED)

Sabi-sabi

25

I fidgeted with my fingers as I wait for Trey here in his office. He told me to just come straight here and wait for him. Tatapusin lamang daw niya ang shipment ng mga bagong furnitures pagkatapos ay aakyat din siya kaagad dito.

Hinawi ko ang kurtina para makita ang karagatan ng Siargao noong marinig ko ang pagbubukas ng pintuan ng kanyang opisina. Malawak na ngiti ang agad kong hinanda para lamang mabigla sa nakitang pumasok.

"What the hell are you doing here?" sikmat ni Tarrah sa akin. My smile faded and the blood inside me immediately boiled.

"Hindi ba dapat ako ang nagtatanong niyan?" anas ko. She lowered her purse and smiled bitchily. She flipped her fake brown hair before sitting at Trey's couch, acting again as if she is the queen of the place.

Itinaas niya ang kamay niya bago pinaglaruan iyong mga kuko.

"I thought I was successful disposing you. Grabe, sa lahat ng basura ikaw ang pinakamahirap itapon Illea," panunuya niya. My hand tightened but I kept my cool. You won't back down with this Illea. This girl's tongue is nothing compared to the hurtful words Serise threw at you.

"Oh, sinasabi mo ba sa sarili mo yan?"

Tumikwas ang kilay niya bago siya tumawa ng malakas. Gosh, baliw na ata itong tarandata na ito.

"Up until now Illea, hanggang ganyan ka lang. You can only fight back with words."

Doon ay kumunot na ang noo ko. What does she mean?

Tumayo na siya mula sa sofa bago lumapit sa akin. She put her hands on Trey's table before putting her face closer to me, silently challenging me to fight her.

"For a Summa Cum Laude, ang bobo mo," she threw the insult at me as if it was actually an acid. Napadiretsyo ang likod ko sa narinig bago ko tinapatan ang kanyang tingin.

"Atleast I am not a desperate bitch like you. Noong hindi mo nakuha si Terrence ay tumakbo ka sa Papa niya. Sabagay, they're both Fortalejo," I fired back. Nawala iyong ngiti sa labi niya bago siya tumili ng impit.

"You fucking whore! Trey was supposed to be mine!"

"He's mine, darling. He's always been mine. Masyado kang ilusyunada," tudyo ko. I saw her jaw clenched before shaking her head.

"Then why did he cheat on you? He had sex with me. He fucked me hard Miss Yturralde, dahil hindi ka sapat sa kanya," she spat. Nanlamig ang buong katawan ko sa narinig mula sa kanya.

Images of Trey sprawled on the bed naked came back to me. Para bang kahapon lamang nangyari ang pagkakataksil nilang iyon. Presko pa rin ang sugat na dulot noon sa akin. I remembered how shattered I was when that happened.
