Chapter 13: Shit Announcement

Start from the beginning
                                    

Maybe, they are just surprised that after a week of disappearance, the Vice President decided to show up? I nodded to my own self. I think, that make sense.

Pero teka lang...

Anong ginagawa ni Zadreth dito sa garden? Y'know, based on my reseaches, he prefers walking on a concrecte lane so his shoes won't get any stains.

So why is he here? Coz, fuck. Everything is messed up. Pwede naman siyang mag-announve nalang sa production room para marinig ng lahat di ba?

"And why would I?" I asked him back after I went back to reality.

I turned my back on him before he can answer. Pero hindi pa ako nakakalayo... may isang malapad na kamay kaagad ang biglang humawak sa braso ko at hinila ako ng marahas paharap.

"What the fuck?!" I hissed angrily.

"I'm an officer, Crisanta. You must follow my command."

Zadreth remained his emotionless tone as he said that before continued walking, taking me with him. Yes, he is dragging me! Saan naman kaya ako dadalhin ng tanong 'to?

"I'm aware, Vice. But why did you ordered us to go to the open field? Mind telling me the reason?" I replied. Nagpatangay nalang ako sa kanya dahil no choice din ako.

"There's an announcement." Tumigil siya sandali para tapunan ako ng tingin. "And you are going with me there so you can hear the words that will turn your wold upside down."

"Na-ah. I don't think so?" Hindi naniniwalang sagot ko in sarcastic way.

Hindi na niya ako pinansin at nagpatuloy nalang sa pagkaladkad sa akin papunta sa open field. Nadismaya ako sa ginawa niya kaya nakasimangot lang ako hanggang sa makarating kami sa doon.

Ganito kasi yan...

I'm expecting him to open up about the deal we made but he didn't. Nag-expect din ako na makakatanggap ako ng simpleng 'congratulations' mula sa kanya pero hindi nangyari.

Buti pa si kamatayan.

Even if he's not sincere with he's greetings and condolences , ginawa pa rin niya iyon. Unlike Zadreth, mas tuyo pa siya kaysa sa Sahara Dessert kung makitungo. I guess, I expected too much.

Now I feel awful. I'm really starving to death and I badly want to eat. Ni hindi pa kasi ako nakakakain ng kahit na ano mula kaninang umaga tapos hindi pa din ako makakakain ngayon?

Fuck this shit announcement!

Arrgh—fuck.

Parang gusto kong lumubog mula sa kinatatayuan ko ngayon habang hila-hila ako ni Zad patungo sa open field. Gaya ng naunang pagtitipon na nasaksihan ko dito noon, biglang nahawi ang mga estudyante para bigyan kami ng mararaanan.

But that is not my problem right now.

What I am problemaying this time is—being watch by everyone. Kasasabi ko lang na ayoko ng atensyon tapos bigla nalang mangyayari ito? Ano yun?

Pinagkaitan ng tadhana? Langya, psh.

Why Zadreth can't just leave me fucking alone and make his own way through the crowd? Y'know? Lahat ng tao ngayon sa aking paligid ay binibigyan ako ng nakakamatay na tingin.

It's not like... I want peace. This day will do. I just want to enjoy the euphoria of finaly having my ID, after two weeks of waiting.

Hindi rin naman biro ang level 18, ha?

I'm not actually expecting to receive that level because I'm just a nobody here. Isa pa, baguhan lang ako. I think, it's my background who did all the work.
