章節 31: Chapter 29: Anxious
THE bell reach the end and its time to ring, I gaze my eyes to the right side, didn't realize that the heavy rain had fallen. The droplets of rain racing towards each other, it's visible in my eye the vibrant thunder that made me wonder.
I get my dream job but, I still feel hallow inside me. I'm worried if I last, I'm worried if I'll reach the end. Without anyone help me, I guess I'm lonely.
I grow up that almost no one's care, I age and find love but no one's dare. Follow your dream is what I did, but the fruit I ate would go back to being seed.
I almost reach the end of the Calendar, and I am still a bee that needed a nectar.
Paano kung mawawala ang mahal ko sa buhay? Hahanap pa ba ako ng bagong karamay? O maghihintay na kami ay magkikita sa kabilang buhay?
Paano kung nasaktan ka ng lubusan, tatanggapin mo ba ang aking kapatawaran o hahayaan mo ako na parang pusang gala?
Buti nalang at lahat ng 'yon, ay tanging gawa ng aking imahenasyon
Sapagkat, kung ito ay totoo ang tawad mo ay hindi sapat.
I take my last step and reach the rooftop.
The heavy rain still pouring from my head to my knees.
I remember the day we talk here about the safe zone. I missed her.
But soon enough, all my worries melted away when I heard a voice from my back.
...
...
"Missed who?"
Oh dear, the prima donna is here.
"Oh, bakit ka naparito, tapos ka na ba sa practice niyo? " Asik ko sa babaeng papalapit sa akin.
"Yup, I just know that you really missed me, so I'm here to give what you asked." she said and sit beside me on one of the building blocks.
I messed up her hair even it's wet and she stare me like she want to strangle my neck. We shared our thoughts as if the rain was not pouring down on us.
Not like the love story that I've read that every couple talk in a lovely place while the bird's chirping and the wind splashing into their faces. But to us, it was the other way around, only heavy rain was cascade down on us accompanied by vivid lightning.
it seemed like we didn't care anymore that the chily rain would wet our clothes.
"We're lucky" she said while smirking.
"No, you're lucky-Ms. Feras." I replied

FLASHBACKS
"Pardon, what do you mean, you need to sacrifice one of us?" I ask while my face could no longer be imagined how furious I am even I heard and understand clearly his statement.
"I agree. Don't forget Reycepaz that we throw a big party to your birthday just to gain your trust b-but don't be a shameless to us!" One of the executive insert for what the university president said.
I also hear a loud murmurs around the table, that definitely irritates me. Hmp, I know at first that they just after my money and not for who I am. Parang kanina lang ay para silang mga tuta na iniwan ng Ina sa gilid ng daan, ngunit ngayon ay para ng mga wolf sa gubat na kanya kanya ng tahol.
"Well, Mr. Madigan, not only the school but, as a teacher, you know that dating a student might ruin your professional reputation right?" The university asked.
"There is no doubt that a romantic relationship between a minor and an adult is unlikely to be accepted by most people, specially into our Society! Student-teacher romances were banned in the first place to protect students who aren't mature enough to take responsibility for such an involvement!" A loud explain from the disciplinarian. That witch!
"But, I'm already 20!" Merliah exclaimed while hitting the table to grab everyone's attention. I smirk a little after hearing that.
Even I myself didn't expect that words coming out from Merliah's mouth. I really thought that she's still in her teen, but I guess she's not now. However, like I said I don't care about the age.
"Precisely! In my side, I would like to nominate that girl to be expelled from this university! I know her family give a donation, but a donation is donation. It means, it came from your heart and we don't force you to give those billions!" The bullshit Kraken math teacher yelled. She still holding her octopus pet, I really want to cook both of them because of my anger.
Even she's a low rank teacher she's always acting like one of the highest executive position, pabida-bida.
While my fist still formed and very eager to punch anyone of them. I don't care anymore if they're stronger than me, I don't care if they're veteran, I just don't care. As long as I can be with the woman I love, I will do everything I can.
They became wild demons after receiving those help that Merliah's family donate? Look how selfish and stupid they are. They're definitely the best example of a gold digger monsters.
My world literally shut down when the University president talk once again.
"Let's end this conference by voting. Who in favor for Mr. Madigan to be the one who's going to expelled from this institute?" He asked.
And I don't know if I'm glad for what I've seen, besides I received no votes from anyone of them, but I know it's the opposite,
"Who's in favor on voting out Ms. Feras to be expelled from this university?"
As he ask those questions, the hands of the people around the table simultaneously rising up. I fucking hate it, I fucking hate what I witnessed.
"Majority is in favor. Thank you for the kindness of your Family and we're very sorry Ms. Feras! Goodbye." Those are the last words of admin that I hear before Merliah stand and try to run.
I stop her by griping her hand as she about to run away, I can also see at her dark green eyes that she want to cry. I tap her head and pinch her nose, just to lighten up her mood.
"Everything's gonna be fine. Trust me."
I said, then forward myself Infront of her. And she's now behind me.
I directly face towards all the present people in the table and spank the table as hard as I can then shout as loud as the lion's roar that surely my voice will reach the end of the corridors.
"IF YOU WILL EXPELLED MS. FERAS IN THIS INSTITUTE, THEN I WILL EXPELLED MY POSITION TOO AS A TEACHER IN THIS SCHOOL!"
I know that if I leave together with Merliah out in the university, they will definitely loss trillions of funds or more than that.
I realized that, if they can't accept my condition then I can leave in this university, besides, my dream change.
Before, I really dream to become a teacher in this university, but after witnessing the bullshit negative things they're doing, I don't want to be a dog that always follow the rules anymore. My dream is now to be with Merliah 'till death.
After I shout those phrases, the silence envelope the whole place and become the king again into the four corners of the room.
I can see the disappoinment and anger in their faces as they nodded their heads of shame in table but, they obviously afraid. Afraid, that if I will abandon my position here, the whole institute will lead to doom.
Sapagkat, pagkatapos nang away ng Scorpion group sa field dati ay inoferan ko ang president ng limpak-limpak na salapi inorder to make change in this school, but one of my condition before giving them massive funds, ay dapat i-cancel nila lahat ng offer ng mga business partner nila at pati na rin ang mga CEO. Rinig ko, the CEO's offer them just one chance, hmp.
That's why, if I will leave here, right now...
They are the one going to doom.
I also can see the University President whispering his Secretary and later on she clear her throat and begun to speak.
"I read an Article and according to this, a relationship between a student and a teacher should be acceptable as long as they maintain their professionalism within the school." Ayan naman pala, bakit niyo pa pinahaba?
"Furthermore, a person's profession shouldn't determine who they're allowed to love and express their feelings for. So Mr. Madigan has a right to love for whoever he fall in love to as long as he stay professional." The secretary explained.
'Yan lang naman ang hinintay ko, for you beings to accept the reality that anyone can express their feelings to anybody. Even if they have horns and wings, as long as they love each other, let them be. Don't be the stupid kontrabida.
"You're as idle as oxen Mr. Madigan, you're really resemblance to your Grandfather. You really had a Madigan in your blood. That's it. That's the outcome of this meeting. No one will be expelled." The President said while he deeply suspire.
"But, what about the media sir? The news papers? How are we going to face them?" The stupid witch disciplinarian asked.
A very frequnt stinks ugly old crone witch lady. I'll say this again, Papansin.
"Let's faked everything. We can't do nothing if it comes out from Mr. Madigan's mouth. That's all and dismissed"
Those are the last thing the president said until gradually the people in the office slowly disappearing from my eyes. Even they're not happy with the result, they can't do nothing with my power.
Pero, I'm still not happy with it, imagine they even use the word "fake" Infront me? Hideous.

Reycepaz's Pov
"Are you okay?" I asked.
She nodded, na tila ba ay sinasabi niyang okay lang. But I know there's something bothering her.
"Tell me what's wrong? I might help you." Pangumbinsi ko sa kanya to make her felling better.
"I have something to tell you Rey," she said.
"Go, tell me. I'm here to listen." I replied while my vision focusing in the droplets rain that hitting everywhere.
"I'm scared telling you this before but,"
I don't know if I'm ready to hear what she's going to say, but my guts telling me that I should.
I don't know how to react if I fully heard what she's going to say, but I must be brave.
...
...
"I can't also taste anything..." She said.
I don't know if I'm going to be mad or what after hearing those.
Kung meron lang matandang pwedeng pagtanungan ngayon kung ano dapat ang magiging reaksiyon ko ay tinanonh ko na. But, there's nothing.
"Even to feel pain I can't. Just like you, walang minuto na hindi ako nagtataka sa mga bagay. I can't also see anything in mirrors aside from pitch black and mist, even my reflection. We have things in common Rey, we do have..."
Kahit na umuulan ay nakikita ko ang kanyang mga luha na tumutulo habang siya ay nagpapaliwang.
Para rin akong binuhusan ng isang balde ng tubig na may yelo sa aking mga nalalaman. I don't know if she's made this things up to make me feel better or she's telling the truth. But one thing is for sure, she's dead serious.
All my life I thought that I'm the only one understand myself, I didn't know that someone like her, not only understand me but she experienced too what I felt.
It's hard to be a tasteless person, it's hard not to feel any pain. It's hard everytime I look at the mirror to comb my hair, I can see nothing but dark and misty.
"You won't understand, it feels like I'm dreaming..." Dagdag pa nito.
Dream? What is dream? I wonder if I already encounter that word. Am I dreaming?
No, I understand you Merliah, I understand you very well so don't be sad as hell.
"But, what do you mean by dreaming?" I asked out of curiosity.
"It's like I'm in an box that doesn't have any exit. A house that don't have any door nor window." She continued.
"Are you anxious again?" I replied.
"No, it's more than that, this is different. It feels like something's going to happened. If this filling will become more complicated. Gusto kong sabihin sa'yo Rey na, I'm very sorry.."
I squished both of her cheeks and try to form a smile from it to lighten the atmosphere then look to her eyes.
"You'll be fine. Did you know Fave that every person that I know or should I say precious to me suddenly disappeared? I don't have an idea what's the exact reason, if this is because I'm too old to remember them or I'm just burden with too much stress? What my point is, I don't want you to be one of them. The fate won't choose that. And I won't never let that happened. I don't want to forget you." I said and hugged her as tight as I can.
I also kiss her forehead after hugging her to make her better. She's shivering, I can literally feel it.
"There's something I want to tell you too-i mean someone special from me is eager to see you but I think I forget who she is. All I know is she care for me so much. And she love ka-kanin?" I said to her, when someone so special to me become foggy into my memory. I really wonder who she is. I hope I can still remember her.
"That's too nice to hear I hope-"
Hindi na naitapos ni Merliah ang nais niyang sabihin ng may dumating na hindi namin inaasahan.
Our life was not in the Disney Princesses story to be that romantic. However, what's the similarities between the Disney and our story, is we always has an envious protagonist.
"Well, well. My plan didn't work. And look at yourselves now, you're so gross than the vomit that I saw in toilet bowl in public bathroom yesterday. I guess I need to end the life of the cockroaches with my dear hands. Oh shoot! I don't want my pretty dress and nails stain from your dirty blood, so thank me, I wear an apron and gloves that I get from laboratory. Both of you are pathetic and you don't have a right to show your over acting love in public nor private, besides, people can't withstand the grossness of it!"
We literally shock of the voice from the woman behind us. She wear the same black dress, the same weird smile, the same gold hammer earrings she have.
Even it's raining, I can feel the goosebumps raising in my arms.
Lucifer is not the fallen angel. I think, this woman we face is definitely the real devil.
