Hope's Final Destination

Chapter 49

「The Atavist in White of
the Battlefield 」

Rinrin

Napansin ko ang pag-akyat ni Lyric pero hindi na ako nakialam, kailangan mangyari nito at hindi ko dapat pigilan kahit na dapat ko siyang patigilin. Why? Because it’ll be bothersome.

I already messed up with this timeline too much and I swear that after this.. there will be no bloodshed caused by me and Madness. I’m neither at hope or despair’s side.. but the one thing that I’m sure is that I will make something right this time.

“She really love that guy..” Rinig kong sabi ni Justin.

“Indeed.” Pagsang-ayon ko sabay tinignan siya “Hey, Justin. If I die, what will you do?”

“D-Don’t say something like that!” Biglaan naman niyang sigaw at nakatingin sa akin nang matalim “Hindi ko hahayaan iyon!”

“I said ‘if’, Justin. Just answer the question already.. don’t avoid it!” Saad ko sa kaniya.

Napayuko siya “I-I’ll cry.. I’ll definitely cry. I don’t want you to die, we still have a lot of plans. Despite your evil actions, good deeds are hidden in it. That is why I admire you,Rinoa. You know when is the right time to lie and to tell the truth.. If you’ll die, I will definitely be sad and I’ll cry.. but for the sake of our twin, I will try to move forward. Because that is what supposed to happen... I can’t just cry over your death, I know that you’ll be annoyed because of it too.”

“Wow, ang haba. How boring.” Walang gana kong saad.

“What?! I just answered it while expressing everything then you’re going to say that it’s boring?!” Sigaw niya at pinisil ang magkabila kong pisngi.

“It hurts!” Pagreklamo ko “But hey, it’s true. I’m quite amazed that a ‘tsundere’ like you can say those. Teehee!~”

“Shut it!” Sita niya sa akin at binitawan ang pisngi ko “You’re too immature.”

“I know..” Saad ko sabay ngumiti “But hey, remember to keep your words.”

“Yeah. Whatever..” Saad niya at hinaplos ang pisngi ko “Don't worry, I will do my best to protect you.”

Napangiti na lang ako sa sinabi niya. Ah, how unfortunate. I will never see my husband’s handsome face with my own two eyes.. I only have one now. Really unfortunate. Naramdaman ko naman ang napakalakas na enerhiya galing sa kwarto ni Neon.. nag-uumpisa na.

“Hey, did you noticed that?” Tanong niya sa akin.

Napashrug ako “I am too weak to sense anything.” A lie, of course.

“It’s coming from Neon’s room!” Saad naman ni Justin “Victorique, let’s go!”

Triny kong makasunod sa kanila kaagad kahit na ika-ika akong naglalakad at nang makarating kami doon ay sakto lang, kinokontrol na ng Phantom ang katawan ni Lyric at unti-unting ginagawang katawan na niya. What a sight..
