Yesterday was a freaking nightmare for me. Saint indeed, cameback. Pero hindi niya ako naaalala, anong nangyari sakanya? Bakit hindi niya ako maalala? Plus, Brenda, Maureen, Tom and Psalm...saw what happened.
Brenda even suspected that I am his admirer, but for Christ's sake! He is mine to begin with! Saint is my boyfriend! And I still consider him to be, kahit hindi niya ako nakikilala.
At second thought I was thinking what if hindi siya yun? Baka kamukha niya lang. But no...the voice...the features...siya yun nakakasigurado ako..
Kahapon ay lutang ako habang tinuturuan ni Psalm tungkol sa mga armas. At wala naman siyang nagawa dahil hindi talaga mawala sa isipan ko ang nangyari kahapon, that was so unexpected to see him appear out of nowhere!
I badly need to talk to him. Ayokong habang buhay ay hindi niya ako makikilala, I came here for him! I came here to take a revenge for him! But all I just did is worthless when the person I am fighting for, don't know me!
"Reian. Kanina kapa wala sa sarili, you need to focus. Level 2 training natin to." Rinig kong sabi ni Maureen, agad akong nabalik sa reyalidad dahil sa sinabi ni Maureen.
Right. Kahit andito na si Saint ay kailangan ko paring tapusin itong nasimulan ko. Hindi niya ako naalala so how can he protect me? At tsaka, hindi ako pwedeng umasa nalang sakanya.
"Welcome. To the four of you, for your level 2 training...each one of you has a bow and 5 arrows. All you need to do is to shoot the moving target." Oh, madali lang naman pala. Level 2 is much easier than Level 1
"But plot twist, the moving target will be a person. We hired worthless people from the outside to be your target. Goodluck! To the four of you." Agad akong nangilabot. I need to kill, again? Napatingin ako kina Brenda at parang wala lang sakanila ang nangyayari.
Napatingin ako sa monitor at nanlamig ako sa nakita ko. Saint is there...he is watching...with Deus. Mas kinabahan ako knowing that Saint is watching this training.
Pagkatapos naming mag bunotan ay luckily, ako ang huli. Tom goes first at nakita kong nagsilabasan ang mga taong pare pareho ang suot. They looked so lifeless, para silang walang buhay na naglalakad.
When the timer starts ay nagulat ako ng tumakbo ang mga taong tinatawag na target patungo kay Tom. Without hesitation I saw Tom shoot them with his arrows and bow.
But he got only 5 arrows! Paano niya yon matatalo lahat? I counted all the target. 30. Oh my god, how am I able to deafeat those people using only a bow and 5 arrows?
Walang makakagawa nun! I saw Tom panicked. Kaya imbes na gamitin ang bow ay pinagsusuntok niya ang at nilabanan niya ang kanyang mga target.
"Damn, this level is quite difficult to analyze" Rinig kong sabi ni Maureen, napatingin ako sakanila at nakita kong seryoso sila sa panonood kay Tom.
I saw Savienna and Psalm appear out of nowhere. Umupo sila sa gilid na parte ng arena at nanonood lang ng tahimik. I glanced at the monitor and I saw Saint looking directly...at me?
I can't tell dahil sa monitor ito. Hindi ako sigurado kung ako pa ang tinitingnan niya o hindi. Nakita ko ang pa simpleng pag iwas niya ng tingin sakin, kaya napahinga ako ng malalim. If he is going to continue staring at me like that...I might die early because damn! I can't focus!
I looked at Savienna at nakita kong nakatingin rin siya sa monitor. He is whispering something to Psalm at napatingin si Psalm sa gawi ko. Agad akong nag iwas ng tingin.
Are they talking about me?
Binalik ko nalang ang atensyon ko kay Tom at nakita kong malapit niya ng maubos ang mga target niya. I bet he is already tired. Kitang - kita ko yun sa body language niya.
"Reian?" Nagulat ako sa biglaang pagsulpot ni Psalm. Kaya napatingin ako sakanya at tinaas ang kilay ko.
"Ano ang kailangan mo?" I asked.
"Can we talk somewhere na malayo sakanila?" Tukoy niya kina Brenda at Maureen. Napatango ako sakanya.
Naglakad kami pareho sa medyo malayong distansya kina Maureen. Pero kitang-kita parin namin ang laban ni Tom.
"Saint is back." Yon lang ang sabi niya at bumalik ulit lahat ng sakit na nararamdaman ko. Mahina lang akong tumango sakanya, isang senyas iyon ng pag-sang ayon.
"I saw how you approached him yesterday." Dagdag niya.
"Pathetic right?" Natatawa kong sabi.
"You still love him?" He asked. At tumango nalang ako. Of course! Kahit kailan hindi ako magsasawang mahalin si Saint, kahit hintayin ko pa siya sa. kabilang buhay niya....
"But he don't remembers anything...right?" Tanong niya saakin.
"Yeah, hindi ko alam bakit siya nagka ganun. Ano bang nangyari sakanya?" I asked Psalm.
Ang rami raming tanong na nasa isip ko pero kahit isa ay walang sumasagot nun. Una, bakit andito si Psalm? Sino ba talaga siya? Pangalawa, why is Savienna here also? And where's Pierce? And lastly, what happened to Saint? Bakit siya nagka ganun?
"Marami ka sigurong gusto itanong...But I have no rights to answer that.." Huh? Anong ibig niyang sabihin?
"What do you mean by that?"
"We are under controlled by Deus. We can't speak unnecessary things, dahil maraming tenga si Deus. Siguro kahit itong pinag uusapan natin ay alam niya...he's very dangerous SaㅡReian." Babala ni Psalm.
"Even Saint? Is he under controlled by Deus too?" Na pailing naman si Psalm sa sinabi ko.
"He is the only person who can defeat Deus. That is why, Deus is keeping Saint by his side all the time." Keeping Saint by his side? So that means, Saint is Deus' ally?
"Alam kong maraming kang tanong, but that person is the only person who can answer you." Sabi ni Psalm habang tinuturo ang monitor.
And there I saw, my handsome devil staring straight at me again. How dangerous can you be, Saint?
"Bakit siya? Bakit hindi ikaw?" Hindi ko maiwasang itanong kay Psalm, he smiled at me bitterly and leaned closer to me
and whispered: "Because I have no rights, to answer the Mafia Heiress' question"
Magsasalita pa sana ako ng nakarinig ako ulit ng anunsyo.
"Timothy Brandley, TASK COMPLETED WITHIN 20 MINS AND 34 SEC." Napatingin ako kay Tom na napupuno ng dugo ang kanyang buong ka suotan.
"Anyway, you need to work good here. Saint is watching..." Psalm said and winked at me. Napakunot ang noo ko dahil sa inakto ni Psalm.
Bumalik ako sa waiting shed kung saan nakatayo sina Brenda at Tom. Maureen is next, I wonder if she'll make it. But I know she is good.
"Guys those target are really weird, napaka hirap nalang patumbahin." Biglang sabi ni Tom.
"Anong ibig mong sabihin?" Tanong naman ni Brenda. Those target? What's special about them?
Tinulungan ko si Tom sa pag pupunas ng mga dugong naka kalat sa buong katawan niya. While Brenda is waiting for Tom's explanations.
"I realised something while fighting there..."
"Ano yun?" Brenda hissed.
"The harder you hit them the tougher they can get. Kaya kailangan nyo silang patumbahin sa isang bagsakan lang."
Agad akong kinabahan, what should I do? I am not good in using arrows and bows, and my kick isn't that strong to knock the 30 of them.
What am I going to do?
