Hope's Final Destination

Chapter 21

Trust no one

Victorique

“Certainly, people are sinfully stupid.. but what’s wrong with that?” Tanong ni Lyric habang nakangiti nang nakakaloko kay Damon.

Saktong pagpasok ko, ganoon ang nasilayan ko. Mukhang wala sa mood sa Damon dahil hindi siya ngumingiti at si Lyric lang ang nasilayan ko,seryoso yata ang pinag-uusapan nila. Napatingin naman sila sa akin at ngumiti nang matamis bigla si Victorique.

“Good Morning, Victorique!” Bati niya.

Ngumiti ako “Good Morning sa inyo.”

Kaagad naman ako na nagpunta sa computer ko at nag-umpisa na gawin ‘tong pinapagawa sa akin na report ni Lyric at compilations na kung anu-ano pa. Binabantayan kasi ni Cyanide ‘yong batang survivor doon sa Harrison incident. Hanggang ngayon, bakas pa din sa isipan ko ‘yong foresight na nakita ko. Mamaya nga kakausapin ko si Shiro tungkol doon...

“Lyric, don’t do risky things..” Rinig kong babala ni Damon sa kaniya “And if you even dare to do one, I’ll be your enemy.”

“You should provide me an outstanding battle if you want that to happen,” Mistulang pang-aasar ni Lyric.

“You’re a person full of surprises, Lyric. You never failed to surprise me with the informations I gathered,” Sambit ni Damon.

“Let me tell you something, don’t sniff on stuff about me too much because once you know what’s worse.. I might cut your head off using my bare hands,” Pagbabanta ni Lyric sabay ngumiti nang nakakatakot “Be afraid,Damon Sylvestia.”

Umalis naman ng opisina namin si Damon at naiwan kami ni Lyric dito, how strange. After that incident, medyo weird ang inaakto ni Lyric. He still kept his goofy and happy-go-lucky attitude but it seems that sometimes, he's a bit creepy.

“Victorique..” Napatingin naman ako sa kaniya “D-Do I look evil?”

Napablink ako “Ha? Bakit mo natanong iyan?”

“Well, people kept on asking me a lot of stuff that I don’t even want to answer.. do I really look thag suspicious to be seen as an evil person?” Tanong niya.

Napabuntong hininga ako “Ang ability mo kasi talagang nakakakilabot, baka kasi kapag seryoso ka masyado.. mapatay mo kami kapag kalaban mo kami. No one wants to mess with the infamous Lyric Kirigiri.”

“I know that I’m always the one who was always noticed but being suspected is a bit too much!” Pagmamaktol niya.

“Weird ka din kasi at may rason siguro sila,” Sambit ko.

“How straightforward, ouch!” Sambit niya sabay nag-act na kunyari nasasaktan sa sinasabi ko.

“Yes, I’m being straightforward on answering those questions of yours,” Saad ko.

Tumahimik naman ulit dito. Napabuntong hininga ako, ang awkward talaga kapag ganito. Most of the time kasi, si Zero ang kausap ko. Nami-miss ko na tuloy ang antukin na ‘yon!

“Ah..” Napatingin ako kay Lyric “So ano ang paborito mong number sa electric fan?”

Natawa naman ako “Like seriously?!”

“I.. I just want to talk more!” Sagot niya at napansin kong namumula siya.

“But we’re out of topic to talk about..” Saad ko.
