Heir 37: Manipulation

Heir 37: Manipulation

Lian Analiz' POV

Hindi ko alam kung matatawa ako o kung ano eh, nag-sasaya na sila? It's too early for that.

"So kamusta naman yun? Talo kayo." Nang-aasar na sabi ni Thon Thon. Gusto kong matawa sa sinabi nya. Ang kamapante nila. Grabe. Hindi nila napansin iyon lahat? Tss. Too focused for victory that they didn't even notice strange things.

"Che!" Alyx retorted.

"This is all my fault." Napalingon kami noong mag salita si Ayah. Aish. Si Ayah ang may kasalanan oo. Pero si Ayah din ang dahil nang...

"No this is not your fault Ayah, this is Lian's fault!" Biglang sigaw ni Shana na galit na galit. Ganyan yan si Shana hindi tumatanggap ng pagkatalo. Halos matawa naman ako dun, aish. Sabi na ba, dapat sinabi ko na sakanila eh, pero mas gusto ko mag play safe.

"Chill, bad girl. Tanggapin mo na, you're defeated." Biglang pang-aasar ni Jacob. Woah, big word. Defeated. Eh, kamusta naman kaya kung malaman nila ang tinatago ko? Haha. I'll love to capture their epic faces and their too early... Epic victory.

"Shut up asshole! I'm not talking to you!" Shana squealed. Biglang natahimik lahat doon. Humina na din ang music at nawala ang party atmospehere. Nice. Ito ang maganda sa nangyayari ngayon, like surprise surprise. In one snap, the victory is ours.

Napatingin ako kay Ayah, mukang nag iisip na sya. Mukang inaalala nya na iyong mga kakaibang bagay kanina. Gotcha Ayah, I know how awesome that brain is.

"You should have go with Ayah, Lian. What were you thinking?!" She shrilled. Gusto ko pakalmahin si Shana at sabihin ang aking grand announcement kaso, I would like to save the moment.

I stood up from my seat. "I'm buying time." I said calmly, nagsisimula na talagang mag isip si Ayah, I can sense and see it from her eyes. And she's confused. Sorry Ayah, I used you to buy time. I just badly needed it.

"Come on. Party all you want." Natatawang remark ko. Hindi ko na mapigilan eh, tuwang tuwa sila sa pekeng pagkapanalo nila. Tsk. Wala man lang talagang nakapansin sa ginawa ko? Ano ba yan. Weak. Nagtaka na sila doon. Maging ang mga lalaki hindi na umimik. Antahimik ng paligid.

"Buying time?" Alyx inquired.

"Yes." I said with a smirk. Mukang nagulat sila dahil sa inaasta ko. Haha. Can't wait to tell them how I bamboozled them.

"Oh my my, didn't you notice? Didn't you have a odd feeling? Didn't know? That all this time, you are deceive?" Mahabang katahimikan ang sunod naming narinig. Walang nagsalita, takang taka na sila.

"W-What?" Naguguluhang tanong ni Pandak. Haha. Akala ko ba matalino ka? Gusto ko sanang sabihin? Oo, matalino ka nga, masyado mo naman akong inunderestimate na hindi mo muna inaalam ang kaya kong gawin. Ngayon? Haha. You lose. I wanted to say, but I didn't.

"Wala kayong napansin? I've fooled you all. I've bamboozled you all." I stated. And they were all shocked in silence.

Then suddenly, I've heard a slowly repeatedly clapped. Napalingon kami sa pinagmumulan noon, kay Nathaniel. Unti unti syang lumakad papalapit saamin, habang dandahang pumapalakpak.

"Now, let me announce the true winner of this game..." Nathaniel spoke. And I simpered, so all this time alam nya? Paano? Agh. Sayang akala ko ako lang nakakaalam. Panira naman tong si Nathaniel. How did he know? Tsk.

"... the girls team, Ms. Lian Analiz Valle's team."

He announced. Natuwa ako sa inna-nounced nyang iyon, dahil totoo naman. Ngumiti ng kakaiba si Nathaniel saakin. "Pano mo alam?" I asked. He just gave me a smile that sent down shivers to my spine.
