Chapter Six

Let the tiger out, huh?

My plan made Kaizer worry that he even texted and called me multiple times kaya pinatay ko ang phone ko before dozing off to sleep. Syempre, sinigurado kong handa na ako sa i-eexplain ko bukas kay Percy at Abcde tungkol sa mga sugat at pasa ko, pati na rin sa gang about my plan.

Kinabukasan, maaga akong nagising dahil ayaw kong maabutan ang mag-asawa o ni isa sa mga ito. Kaya binilisan ko ang pagligo at pag-aayos sa sarili ko.

Pagbaba ko ay narinig ko agad ang kalansing ng mga kagamitan. Mukhang hindi sang-ayon ang tadhana sa akin ngayon. 

Pagkadiretso ko sa kusina ay naroon ang mag-asawa, ni hindi man lang nag-angat ng tingin kahit nung maupo na ako. Malayo ang inupuan ko sakanila. Kumain na siya kahit pa medyo nawalan ako ng gana nang makita ko si Tita Laurisse.

In my peripherial view, I saw Tito Justin threw me a look before sighing. His hard expression turned soft and his eyes reflected pity. He probably knew that my bruises and wounds came from his oh-so-great-and-amazing wife.

Tumikhim ito bago nagsalita. "Reinette, how's school?"

"Doing fine po, Tito." I answered casually. Bakit? Wala naman ako dapat ikwento.

"That's great, do you need anything? Extra money for projects? Or new supplies?" tanong nito. He's obviously trying to lift up the bad aura surrounding us because of her wife.

I wiped my mouth since I'm almost done. "Yes po, we have this project where we should make a miniature. My groupmates came yesterday here and—"

"And she even flirts with Mr. and Mrs. Pecilli's son." She sarcastically laughed.

I didn't hesitate to roll my eyes at her, getting the courage to fight back against her words and actions. Nakita niya iyon at tinitigan nalang ako ng masama.

Natahimik na din si Tito Justin while shaking his head at Tita Laurisse, sign that he's not amused with his wife's sudden mingle in our conversation. I stood up completely losing my appetite, I excused myself before leaving for school.

Today is Friday which means its wash day. Pwede kami mag-civillian sa univ. Pagkapasok ko sa campus, pinagtitinginan ako. As what I expected. Ang naiba lang, badtrip ako at tugma ata ang porma ko sa mood ko which made me look like a badass. 

I styled myself with white sleeveless crop top sa loob, and topped it with a black leathered jacket, I just left it open for air. Then, I wore a black leathered pants, partnered it with my new Robert Mille Caliber RM 019 watch, and a high cut black sneakers that came from a famous local brand sa New York. Suot ko din ang piercings ko that intensified my badass look. Naka-half pony pa naman buhok ko.

Hindi ko pinapansin ang mga nakasunod na mata sa akin, at ang mga tanong na "okay ka lang ba?" "what happened to your face?" "kailangan mo ba ng resbak?" because it will only fuel the news. Ilang bulong din ang naririnig ko pero pag tinitignan ko sila ay napapayuko sila.

It looks like they're bowing down at me, lmao.

I saw Percy and Abcde approaching me with worried looks plastered on their faces.
