Hope's Final Destination

Chapter 28

「 Infiltration 」

Rinrin

Napatingin ako sa class picture namin, it’s been years.. nakakakonsensiya. I know that I’ve changed too.. I still felt bad on using other people for my own safety just like what happened on that killing game. Hindi ko mararanasan ang lahat ng iyon kung hindi pala dahil sa sarili kong kapatid. Nakakatawa lang.

My happiness is what matters the most for him,huh? How pathetic of Lyric. It’s his fault.. I want to scream that in front of him. All of the person I’ve cherished died one by one.. I know it’s selfish to keep them in despair along with me but it’s the only way and if it means that I have to side with them, I’ll do it.

“Alam mong wala ka na talagang magagawa,” Rinig kong saad ni Justin sa akin “Matagal ko na kasing sinasabi sa’yo na patayin na natin ang kapatid mo.”

“I...It’s not that easy, he’s still my brother..” Sagot ko naman at tinignan siya.

“Alam mo ang consequences ne’to,Rinoa..” Saad niya sa akin bago biglang pinitik ang noo ko “Ihanda mo ang sarili mo.”

“I am born ready!” Taas noo kong sambit.

“Whatever..” Sambit niya sa akin sabay umirap.

Napangisi ako “We already had twins yet you’re still a tsundere~”

“M-Manahimik ka nga!” Bulyaw niya sa akin habang sobrang namumula “Ayan ka na naman,Rinoa!”

“What?” Tanong ko naman bago siya yakapin nang mahigpit.

“You’re always like that..” Rinig kong bulong niya “You’re as confusing as your brother, I’m still not aware if your feelings are true or not. The two of you are both a mystery to everyone, keeping what’s supposed to be revealed. Sana man lang ay ilabas mo ang mga nais mong sabihin, you can trust me. We’re meant for each other,Rinoa.. I would never betray you.”

Oh shizz, I made him anxious again! You’re so dense,Rinrin! Napabuntong hininga ako bago yakapin siya nang mas mahigpit at natawa, kahit kailan.. napakasensitive niya pagdating sa mga pagsisikreto. I wouldn’t lie to this goofball, I don’t want anyone to die on my watch. Shiro.. Xero.. Emalf.. Poemi.. I'll protect them along with Justin. They’re the only ones left. Neon... is slowly losing his control and the worst thing is that everything should end before that happens. Bwisit.

“Makinig ka,Justin. Kung may tinatago man ako sa’yo, mabubulgar din iyon. Huwag kang mag-alala. Alam kong nanggamit ako ng ibang tao noon, pero desperada akong makatakas at itago ang katotohanan noon. Kailangan kong protektahan ang kapatid ko, ngunit maling-mali iyon..” Pagpapaliwanag ko sa kaniya “I’m going to do everything it takes to stop Neon and his plans this time, don’t worry..”

“Sana nga..” Saad niya.

Napangiti na lang ako bago muling nilabas ang puting diamond sa kamay ko at pinagmasdan ang makakatulong sa akin, wala na akong ibang choice kundi gawin ito nang walang nakakaalam kundi kami ni Shiro.

Nagtungo naman ulit ako sa lugar na kinaroroonan ni Neon, ayoko talaga sa lahat na magpunta dito. Oo, may sama pa din ako ng loob kay Neon pero kaibigan ko din siya. Kahit siya ang dahilan ng pagkamatay ng mga kaibigan namin, hindi ko kayang iwan sa ere ang taong ‘yon. Pero hindi ko hahayaan na magtagumpay siya, pipigilan ko siya kahit anong mangyari.
