Taming The Superiors (High Class Issue Series #1)

Chapter 11

Chapter 11: Ignorance

"This is not the right time to talk to her, Collen. Let Eliza rest first and just leave," I heard Tito Mike say with such irritation. I think his two siblings are here again, and I think they want to talk with me.

Pinikit ko ang mga mata ko nang matandaan ang sinabi sa akin ng lalaki tungkol kay Tito Collen. Awtomatikong namuo ang inis sa sistema ko dahil sa pagiging makasarili niya para maging malinis ang pangalan niya.

Argh! It's disgusting that he's sitting in the Senate, but he doesn't care about the people he serves because he's busy clearing his name. The audacity of those kinds of people to be in the Senate but didn't do anything, tss.

I'm home already and feeling well. I haven't been out of my room for a day, and my uncle refrained me from watching the news about what happened. He doesn't want me to get stressed, but I need to know what happened to that man, even though he pointed a gun at my head.

"Hindi ko naman siya sasaktan, Kuya, kakausapin ko lang."

"Huwag ako, Collen. Huwag mong idamay ang pamangkin mo sa kalokohan mo," may halong pagkasarkastiko ang tono ng boses ni Tito Mike pero nandoon pa rin ang inis sa kapatid niya.

"Brother, just let me talk to her. That's all I wanted," Tito Collen pleaded, the reason why I rolled my eyes and didn't hesitate to open the door. The three of them were in front of my room, and they froze for a second when they saw me.

"Eliza, ako na ang bahala sa kanila--"

"No," pagputol ko kay Tito Mike habang malamig na nakatingin kay Tito Collen.

"Ang kakausapin ko lang ay si Tito Collen at wala ng iba," sunod naman na napunta ang tingin ko kay Tita Verna at nakita ko ang masama niyang tingin na para bang nais niya na akong ibaon sa lupa.

Hindi na nakapalag si Tito Mike marahil kusa ko ng binuksan ang pinto, "Pasok, Tito Collen," sabi ko at wala itong pag-aalinlangan na pumasok ng kwarto ko. Nahuli ko pa rin ang masamang tingin sa akin ni Tita Verna pero hindi ko na ito pinatulan at isinara na ang pinto.

"Hiniling mo siguro na mamatay na ako, no?" diretso kong tanong habang nakangisi. Alam kong pareho lang sila ng iniisip ni Tita Verna pero malas lang niya dahil buhay pa ako.

Tito Collen clenched his jaw and crossed his arms. I can already tell that he's bothered about what happened, but should he be angry? He used his ignorance as a reason for people to retaliate against him.

"Want to know something, Tito?" nakuhang makipaglaro ng boses ko pero nananatiling blangko ang ekspresyon ko.

Sa totoo lang ay wala naman siyang ibang ginawa sa senado kung 'di ang mag-mukhang malinis. Masyado siyang nagmamalinis pero sa loob niya ay punong-puno siya ng kasamaan. Gano'n ko kakilala ang Tito ko at matagal na rin akong nananahimik dahil natakot ako noon pero iba na ako ngayon.

"What did he tell you?" even though it's a dull question, I can hear the desperation in his voice as if he wants to save his reputation. I shut my eyes for a second and clenched my jaw because of his mindset.
