Chapter 51 - A Ruthless Devil

Chapter Fifty One
"A Ruthless Devil"
Daniel Rouge Gustilyo's Point of View

I spent the next few days practicing for the runway. It was excruciating knowing that it's my first time walking in front of a lot of people, wearing a famous clothing brand.

'Di din naiiwasan ang pagiinis ni Stephanie sa akin. She would often steal some of my clothes and would pour water on my things and would plastically apologise. It was a lousy trick and she's so good at being lousy.

Trust me, all I did was to roll my eyes at her and let it pass.

Today was the last day for the practice and the runway will be held tomorrow night. For the past few days, palagi akong napapagod. And today's practice was no exception. The practice was so tiring that I kept on taking a break. Siguro 'di nasanay ang katawan ko dahil first time ko sa ganito, god I thought it'll be easy to walk on a platform.

But it wasn't.

"Well that's a wrap." Sigaw ng coach namin kaya pagkatapos ng practice ay bumaba kaagad ako sa stage at nagsimula nang magligpit ng mga gamit ko dahil maliligo na ako at kailangan ko na ding umuwi kaagad. Okay lang din naman na magpahinga ako sa coach namin dahil alam naman nila ang pinagdadaanan ko sa ngayon.

I checked my watch and it's already 6 in the evening. Gosh, it was a pretty long day and I want to go home already. While realising how tired I was, i quickly fixed myself and including my things.  When I was done fixing my things, I hurriedly went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Pagkapasok ko sa isang cubicle ay agad naman akong naghubad ng damit ko para makaligo na. Sinasamsam ko ang init ng tubig ng shower nang maramdaman kong bigla itong tumaas dahilan para mapailag ako. Nabigla ako sa nangyari kaya napaatras ako sa aking kinatatayuan at bahagyang pinatay ang shower.

S-hit.

Ang init nun para akong mapapaso. Mabuti na lang at napaka-alerto ko. May problema ata 'tong shower na'to. So I shrugged my shoulders then turned the cold one instead at ipinagpatuloy ang pagliligo.

Minutes passed, I was disturbed again when I heard a clicking sound — someone was taking a photo of me and when I realised it, I quickly turned around and heard someone curse something. I grit my teeth in frustration so I wore my bathrobe and went out of the cubicle.

Paglabas ko ay nakita ko namang may isang lalaking papalabas na sana ng kabilang cubicle. He was surprised to see me so I approached him nicely. "Give me your phone." Linahad ko ang palad ko sa kaniya para ibigay nito ang kaniyang cellphone.

He just gave me a flustered look. "What do you mean?" Tanong nito sa akin.

"Did you take a photo of me?" I asked, trying to compose myself. Mas nagtaka pa ang mukha nito.

"Wala nga dito ang phone ko, paano ako makakakuha ng picture mo?" Kinapa-kapa ko ang katawan nito at wala nga siyang dalang cellphone. So who took photos of me?

May narinig akong dahan-dahang pagpihit ng isa pang cubicle kaya nabaling ang atensyon ko sa isang lalaking nakasuot ng itim na jacket na papalabas ng banyo. When our eyes met he sped out of the vicinity, so I chased for him even though I was still in my bathrobe.

Binilisan nito ang pagtakbo at ganun din ako. Naghabulan kami sa gitna ng hallway ng building. F-ugk he's so fast that I almost slipped on the floor. But I can still manage to chase after him. People at the area was looking at us. Para akong pulis na hinahabol ang isang sindikato. Police na nakabathrobe.

Kaya nang mahablot ko ang hoodie ng jacket niya ay 'di na ako nagdalawang-isip pa na hilahin siya padapa sa sahig. He fell and winced when he hit his back on the floor.

Galit na galit akong pinatong ang paa ko sa dibdib niya. I noticed I was so furious that I was breathing heavily too. Kinuha ko ang kaniyang cellphone na naka-on pa ang camera at kinuwelyuhan siya. I pushed him to the wall. He was also angry at me. "Who asked you to do this?" I noticed he was still young at siguro mga kasing edad ko lang siya.

Naghintay ako ng sagot mula sa kaniya pero nginisian niya lang ako. "Sinong may utos?" Tinaasan ko siya ng boses pero 'di parin ito natakot.

Tiningnan ko ang laman ng cellphone niya. He took a lot of photos of me naked while taking a shower and while I was undressing my self. "Tell me. Sinong nag-utos?!" Eto na, napasigaw na ako sa galit sa kaniya.

"Alam mo naman siguro kung sino." He answered.

Wala na akong nagawa kun'di ang kaladkarin ang lalaki sa hallway. He was trying to get away from me but I was quick to drag him to the floor again. Napapangiwi naman ito sa ginawa ko kaya wala na siyang nagawa kun'di ang hayaan akong ikaladkad siya kay Stephanie na papalabas na ng banyo ng mga babae.

I pushed the guy next to her. Nagpalitan sila ng tingin. "Siya ba ang nag-utos sa'yo?" Tanong ko sa lalaki.

Sinamaan ng tingin ni Stephanie ang lalaki. "I asked you, is she responsible for this?" Pinakita ko lang ang cellphone sa harap nilang dalawa. Hahablutin sana ni Stephanie ang cellphone 'niya' mula sa akin.

I know that she owns this phone. May picture niya kasi. "Magpapakuha ka lang naman ng litrato ko, ang cellphone mo pa pinagamit mo." Pinanlisikan ko siya ng mata.

Napalunok naman ito sa sinabi ko. "Kahit kailan boba ka talaga." She clenched her fist out of anger and was about to slap the hell out of me when I stopped her.

"Try." I threatened her. "Sampalin mo ako. Let everyone see." Tinaasan ko ito ng kilay at agad naman nitong hinila ang kamay niya mula sa pagkakahawak ko.

"Balik mo na ang cellphone ko!" Utos nito sa akin. "Or else."

"Or else what?" I asked her. "Irereklamo mo ako? I have evidence." I showed her, her phone again at nginuso ang nakaupong lalaki sa tabi nito.

"Stephanie, I'm giving you a favour, papalipasin ko 'tong pinag-gagawa mo sa akin if you start acting like a normal woman — not a deranged one." Suway ko sa kaniya at nagsimula nang maglakad patalikod. Aalis na sana ako pero may nakalimutan ako.

"Oh, wait." I was about to gave her her phone but I was a devil. And devils are bad.

Ayaw kong maging mabait sa babaeng 'to. So I dropped her phone and crushed it in front of her. Pinulot ko naman ang kaniyang cellphone at sinawsaw ito sa inidoro at tinapon sa harap niya. Sasaluhin pa sana nito ang kaniyang cellphone pero napagtanto niyang nasawsaw ko sa water closet kaya umiwas siya.

"Buy a new one." Utos ko sa kaniya at pinagpatuloy ang paglalakad.

I was really furious that my hands trembled but I still managed my composure and walked out of their way confidently-pretty enraged.

Damn.
