Tourney of Beguiling (North Series #2: Fausea)

Chapter 11

Day after that, I was shocked with the news circulating around the country. Also on that day nalaman naming kung sino ang may pakana sa video.

It was one of Tyler's friends. He was responsible for the video na kasabwat si Elice at Kevin. I am so furious, I want to let this wrath took over my whole system but they are also having numerous problems right now.

According to the articles recent today, tons of illegal drugs were spotted in their pier. They are transporting from china. There has been evidences also that they are involved in Human trafficking and exporting illegal firearms.

Wala silang takas, family friends were miraculously turning their back against them. The Ramones are experiencing bankruptcy in just a snap dahil sa pagpull out ng biggest investor nila, the rest follows.

The Pietros are furious also, nagkausap sila ng mga magulang ko at kinasuhan ang tatlo and worse. Tumulong upang idiin pa lalo ang kanilang pamilya. Tyler's friend was found addicted to drugs. His family cut loose his cards kaya kumapit sa patalim.

Can you imagine that?

Hindi ako makapaniwala. Ganoon na ba kasukdulan ang kasalanan ko sakanila upang gawin ang bagay na 'yon. I would understand kung si Elice lang kasi inaanod na sa impyerno ang kaluluwa niya pero si Kevin? We shared memories. Fck him.

"G*go!" Napapikit ako nang suntukin ni Kuya si Kevin after proving that they are guilty.

Pinagmasdan ko silang nakaposas, ready to go in jail.

We are in the court room, people were gossiping, it is indeed a big scandal of the country. Paglabas ay sinalubong kami ng mga reporters. Dinumog nila ang mga nagkasala. Flashes of cameras everywhere.

Nagtama ang mga mata namin ni Elice, gone were the innocent facade. Her eyebags were so big, napaka stress ng mukha niya. Tinaasan ko ng kilay.

Now you already have what you planted. Malas lang nila dahil anak ng Senator si Tyler na dinamay pa nila. Hindi sila matatahimik sa kulungan. Maruming maglaro ang mga politiko.

Mommy hugged me tight pagkadating namin sa bahay.

"Are you okay?"

I smiled and nodded lightly. Dad kissed my cheeks. They were disappointed days ago  but my  parents can't remain mad at me for so long. Kaya maswerte ako sakanila.

I sighed heavily at humilig sa railings ng balcony. I looked up, kapagkuwan ay malungkot na ngumiti.

It's been weeks, hindi na siya nagparamdam pang muli. There is a rumor spreading na he was seen with Audri all the time.

He's done with me. I get it, ayaw ko na din siyang makita. He had his fair share of playing and I had mine. Oo! Yon nalang ang iisipin ko. He's an asshole.

After the final examination, our batch arranged a party around The Palace BGC. Ayaw ko na sanang sumama dahil na-trauma na ako pero napilit pa rin. My parents returned to Ilocos already.

Hindi ko naman ugali ang magpaalam kay Kuya dahil busy din 'yon plus he was mad, nagpapabili ng sports car at hindi pinagbigyan.

"Are you sure you don't want to drink?" Sheena assured. I just smiled then sipped on my juice.

Our table was so crowded. Napakadaming tao, may mga banda ding nagg-gig.

The girls were gossiping about those members of the bands.

I look around and see my friends exposedly flirting if not with each other then with those strangers.

Charry is miraculously tamed tonight too. We were just watching people party. Naiiling nalang ako sa mga nagmemake-out sa gilid. Madami ding mga artista and I could see some familiar family friends. This place is the den of rich socialite.
