NOPI Chapter 43: Just what on earth are they planning?

NOPI Chapter 43

Mandy's POV

"Either way, I'm not going to let this incident bring shame upon both schools and I definitely do not want to implicate the Falcon family's reputation. So.." hindi pa man natatapos ni Sephine ang sasabihin niya ay naintindihan na kaagad namin

'So... Whatever you do, be sure to keep their mouths shut'

Napangisi na ako kaagad bago niya pa man ituloy ang sasabihin niya. Nang makita niyang naintindihan namin ang gusto niyang iparating ay hindi na siya nagsalita pa.

Sephine may be the youngest, but to tell everyone the truth, she's the most ruthless one of all. Must be from the blood in her veins.

When the rumors said that the women in the Falcon Family are ruthless, it wasn't really just a rumor. It's the truth. Who knew how they found out about it? But oh well, if it protects us in one way or another, it's more than enough to keep the rumors going.

"This meeting is finished" sagot ni Violet saka siya naunang lumabas at agad na kaming sumunod ni Icy

Nang tuluyan kaming makalabas ng meeting room ay hindi na ako nagtaka sa dami ng mga estudyanteng umaabang sa amin.

"Sht. They've come out. Does this mean that they're meetings' over?"

"Sila ang mga seniors ng Falcon young misses, diba? Are they going to do this their own way?"

"Who dared to stand in front of them? Who dared to bully even one of the Falcon cousins?"

"I know right? They're probably asking for a death sentence"

"The Falcon family's women are very ruthless after all"

Nagpigil na ako ng ngiti ng marinig ko ang bulung-bulungan nila saka tinignan si Violet na nasa tabi ko.

"Ruthless, they say? Dapat mag-celebrate yung mga bullies na 'yon dahil walang nagbalak na magsumbong kay Tita Luciana, kung hindi, umuubo ubo na sila ng dugo ngayon. Who doesn't know a thing or two about tycoon families? It's kill or be killed. Compare sa gagagawin natin sa paano ang ginagawa ng mga matatanda, pwede nang sabihing 'normal arguments between children'" sabi ni Icy kaya naman natawa na ako

(Tita Luciana - Sephine's mom)

"That's mean, Icy" sagot ko kaya naman nagbelat siya sa akin

"But joking aside, okay lang kung ininsulto siya't walang pisikal na kaganapan. Pero 'yung mismong kidnapping style na bullying pa ang ginawa nila?" tanong niya saka siya huminga ng malalim kaya naman napakagat ako ng labi ko saka sinilip si Violet

"Narinig ko na umiyak siya ng napakatagal nang makagising siya after ng incident" bulong ko kaya naman bumugtong hininga rin siya saka isinara ang kamao niya

"She remembered the kidnapping incident ten years ago," sagot niya kaya naman tumahimik na ako

The incident that changed her whole life. The incident she didn't want to remember and wanted to forget.

It may be a lowly and cheap prank to those bullies, but to us, it was much more than that.

Just thinking about how Sephine felt when she thought those bullies were after her life again, I clenched my fists.

Nahulog siya sa hagdan, nagkaroon ng napakaraming pasa at gasgas and worse of all, her trauma and her memories' were triggered.

"Should I inform them now?" tanong ko kaya naman agad na siyang tumango habang si Violet nama'y napasuklay sa buhok niya gamit ang mga kanang kamay niya

"Hmp. Kung sa tingin nila isang simpleng nerd lang ang kinalaban nila, aba'y nagkakamali sila. I'll make sure they'll kneel as they plead for forgiveness" sagot niya kaya naman nagpigil nalang ako sa pagngiti at agad nang tinawagan ang assistant ko

Hindi naman nagtagal at agad niya itong sinagot.

"Young miss, they're here. According to the videos and the witnesses, there were a total of five girls. But since we're not sure who it was, we took their whole squad. There are a total of seven girls" sagot niya kaya naman natawa ako

"You should've just asked them who did it, they'd be pointing at each other by then and you'd be able to find out who it was"

"Sinubukan na po namin, young miss. Dahil dun ay nagkagalo silang pito at nagsisigawang hindi sila 'yon" sagot niya kaya naman tumawa nalang ako

"Okay then. We'll be heading there anyways. Siguraduhin niyong wala ni isang estudyante sa perimeter" sagot ko

"Masusunod po, young mistress" sagot niya kaya naman pinatay ko na ang tawag saka itinago ang phone ko

So anong akala nila? Sila lang ang pwedeng mag-abduct nang tao? Well, unfortunately for them, we can too.

"Handa na ba ang lahat?" tanong ni Violet kaya naman tumango na ako

"Let's head there then" sagot niya at nagsimula nang maglakad papunta sa Dorm nila Sephine, after all, nandito kami sa dorm namin

May balak pa sanang sumunod ang mga estudyanteng nakikiusyuso sa amin kaya naman agad na akong nag-snap ng fingers ko. On cue nama'y agad nang nagsilabasan ang mga bodyguards kong mga babae at humarang na sa mga may balak pang sumunod sa amin.

"We won't be able to see them in action once again!"

"Ugh, I was expecting to see it though! How unfortunate!"

"Fck! They've come prepared! There won't be a good show coming!"

"Just who is it? Who dared to harm even one of them?"

"Hah! You're right! Who is it? Should we start guessing?

Hindi na namin pinansin pa ang mga estudyante't dumiresto na sa destinasyon namin.

Nang makarating na kami sa dorm nila Sephine ay sinalubong kami ng mga estudyanteng naka-stay dun.

Nang makita namin sila Annallie at ang iba niya pang mga kaibigan dun ay agad na napataas ang kilay ko.

Naka-cross arms siya't kaswal na nakaupo sa may garden habang pinapalibutan ng mga kaibigan niya. Hmm. Seems like hindi sila kasali sa insidenteng nangyari ngayon.

"Well, well, well, who would've known that the Falcons are abusing their power to the point that we needed to comply and leave the dormitory on a hot and busy day" sabi niya't agad nang tumayo't humarang sa daan namin

Tutulakin ko na sana siya pero agad akong hinarangan ni Violet gamit ang kamay niya saka siya nagpamewang.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't you? Didn't know that you were still alive. Ano ba sayo kung ginagamit ko ang kapangyarihan ko para paalisin ang mga tao sa dorm na 'to? What's the use of power if you don't put it into use? And besides, you're dorm's not even here, we're dorm mates. What are getting so worked up on?" tanong ni Violet

Tinignan ko naman ang mga kaibigan niya, lalo na si Stella.

Naikwento sa akin ni Rico 'yung nangyari sa music room. Hindi ako naniwala nung time na sinasabi sa amin ni Sephine na may kaibigan siyang nerd pero nang makita ko 'yung picture na ipinakita ni Rico ay naniwala na ako pero what he said after shocked me silly. He said it was Stella. I really didn't believe him, I didn't believe the fact that it was Stella disguised as Shane all along.

Narinig ko naman sa mga kwento ni Sephine na mabait si Shane sa kanya kaya naman hindi na ako nagsalita pa. It's fine if they're friends and are good to each other but if Stella's planning somethings, then that's a different story.

Nang mapansin ni Stella na nakatingin ako sakanya ay napunta sa akin ang tingin niya pero agad din namang umiwas.

But if you were to ask me, I'd say that Stella's the most sensitive and wisest of the bullies or to be more precise, she's the safest.

Why? Because she won't move unless she's provoked. And because of that I'm afraid of her more in this case.

Why? Because she's obsessed with Charles, the Heartthrob Prince. Everyone knows about it. I'm afraid that something might happen.

Why? Because Charles is in love with Sephine like how Sephine is in love with Charles. Yung point palang na magkaibigan sila ni Sephine at 'yung part na kaibigan niya sila Annallie ay hindi na nakakatawa sa akin.

I don't think that she befriended Sephine just because she wants to befriend her. What Violet said was true. You can't help but suspect that they're plotting something secretly. After all, they've been laying low lately. Just what on earth are they planning?
