Wild Vengeance 2: "The Reserved Twin" (Finished)

RESERVED ISSUE no.16

I rang the bell in front of the huge gate of the Lacsons' residence. Whoo! I don't know why I feel so nervous about the idea of going inside. Baka siniraan na ako ni Mattheo sa mga tao sa loob. And baka pagtulungan nila akong lahat.

Mattheo could do that. He could. Parang gusto kong umuwi nalang. Ang lakas ng loob kong magalit kay Mjio for walking straight into the trap, then what am I doing right now?

Why am I really here for?
Eh kung bisitahin ko nalang sina Lory at manang kapag nakulong na si Mattheo?
That way I would not worry about things involving him anymore.

I turned around, got my keys and unlocked my car from behind me.

I sighed as I opened my car's door. Maybe this is not yet the time. As long as Mattheo's not paying for what he did to me, I won't be able to enter this house again.

I am inserting my key in the keyhole of my car and was about to get inside when someone grab me out and just slapped me even before I could face the person.

"Ouch! Gamò"

"Walang hiya ka. Ang kapal, kapal ng mukha mo para gamitin ako."

It was Sheena.

She pointed a finger at me.
"Nang dahil sa'yo, iniwan ako Lawrence. Punyeta ka. Hindi naman pala para saakin ang tulong na ginawa mo. Ginamit mo lang ako. Kaya pala hindi ako makapaniwalang tinutulungan mo ako. Nang dahil sa'yo, iniwan ako ni Lawrence. Kasalanan mo ito."

Hinawakan niya ng mahigpit ang kamay ko.
"Halika! Samahan mo ako. Ipapakulong kita."

I forcefully shove my arm away from her grasp. And I was strong enough to succeed. I won't let my lessons be useless anymore. Hindi ako naghirap mag-aral ng karate para lang sa wala.

"First, I want to say sorry for dragging you into my mess. Pero kasalanan mo. You have that general with you already. Bakit mo pa gugustuhin ang iba? It wasn't my fault na iniwan ka niya. You chose to fall right into my trap. Kasalanan mo. If only you remained faithful. If you really love that general, kahit pa maghubad mismo sa harapan mo si Mattheo, you won't take a bite. But you just did. You didn't just took a bite, you ate the whole cheese in the trap. Kasalanan mo. If only you remained faithful to your general."

I crossed my arms and raised a brow on her.
"Oh well, saiyo na nga mismo nanggaling na ayaw mo sa general na yun. You're just after his money. Kung hindi ka lang sana naging selfish, Mattheo could've fallen in love with you. If you started at the right place. Good thing hindi nain-love sayo si Mattheo. With your selfishness? Baka mamulubi na agad si Mattheo at age 40."

She again pointed a finger at me.
"Wala kang karapatang husgahan ako sa mga ginawa ko. Dahil kahit kailan, hindi mo ako maiintindihan kasi mayaman ka. Lumaki ka sa isang mayamang pamilya, nakukuha ang lahat ng gusto, lahat ng luho mo. Makakapag-aral ka kung saan mo gusto, makakapunta ka kung saan mo gusto. Kapag mayaman ka, you can have the man you want. Lalo na kapag mayaman din siya. Hindi mo kailangang maghirap. Lahat! Lahat makukuha mo. Kaya 'wag mong sabihin na para bang ang dali-dali ng ginagawa ko. Dahil kahit kailan, hindi mo naranasan maging mahirap."

I matched her glaring eyes with my angry one. And I harshly shove her finger away from my eyes.

"I may be rich. Pero hindi kami pinalaki ng mga magulang ko ng tulad sa mga sinasabi mo. My parents know the word discipline. At kung sakali mang maghirap ako, kung sakali mang nabuhay ako bilang isang mahirap na tao, I will make sure to not stoop so low like you. Kung tutuusin nga, ang swerte mo na sa general mo. He's rich. Pero sinayang mo lang siya."
