I WAS still thinking about going in today and to get rid of the annoyance I went to the old tambayan where it was quiet and undisturbed. I run it whenever I am sad, nervous, or even happy. Maybe others feel the same way, there is a comfort zone to re-release good and bad vibes.
"Mom, dad, sorry."
"Who told you to come up here?"
Her voice was familiar and why I got to stare at it while sitting on the very back of the plant I don’t know I guess she was too cute to sigh.
"Is there also a lucifer kingdom here."
"What did you say?" I know you heard that Cedric.
Your art!
"No don't even talk to me."
"Who is sensible that you want to talk to?"
"So you're not sober?"
There would have been an argument when Roselle angel came to earth.
"Oh there's someone here." Roselle revealed.
"I'm down." I said softly to the two but because the hero is gossipy I will listen to the conversation.
"Marnelie talked to Rica and Brix did you tell?" And Roselle.
"It's been a while since they've been able to talk and what do you think is the reason"
"I think almost six months."
"Yeah, that's just who on your Viper brush got your hand on?"
"She hasn't said anything yet,"
"It must be you," wow, this Cedric also knows how to laugh, ah.
"Marnelie is still to be followed,"
"Just in case what are you going to do with the new rules? Don't you say you can kill someone every time there's a riot?"
"Why not if someone is explicitly listening to what we talk about." He pulled me by the arm to see more.
Roselle is a beautiful woman but I don’t think a person can still be angry no matter how beautiful she looks to you.
"The courage you have to listen to what we talk about."
"I didn't hear anything," Roselle was about to run away when she pulled my dress back. "Let go of me!"
"Haven't you heard?" Roselle's assurance
"Nothing,"
"This one is obviously lying, what am I going to say ?!" Roselle was about to punch.
"If you haven't heard, meet me tonight in the plaza. Make sure you're alone and in case you don't show up, expect that you will never be able to enter this university."
With so many reminders to me I could only swallow. Wait, is that a reminder or a threat?
She is scary.
There seems to be a word.
And I think this is the end of me.
How is that, what if I increase my gangster enemies.
What is she planning to do to me? Will she beat me up with a member of the Viper Berus? No way, not because I can no longer afford to be hurt. My body is still weak.
"Daughter? Why are you up in the morning?" Mama asked me in surprise when I came home early.
"I-I feel bad."
"Did you eat and take medicine? What's wrong with you so we can take you to the hospital."
"I'm not going to die for you to swear, mama."
"Don't let that go into your work first. Take a break first,"
I nodded, "Yes, here's your electricity bill," I reached here.
"Thank you, daughter."
"I'll go to work later. I can't be absent, maybe it'll take a break."
I went into the bedroom and lay down. I could still hear Mama talking but I just closed my eyes. It also took me a long time to sleep because I got up at five o'clock to prepare myself for entering.
I remembered what Roselle had said. Can't I just go? Just so she might be true to what she said.
I'm still at six o'clock so I can still prepare myself.
"Annie, let's call your dad before you leave, shall we?"
"Mom, I don't have a cellphone." My complaint.
"Of course it doesn't matter, maybe he'll come home the next day,"
"Don't worry, papa can do that job."
"You're right there."
As before, I drove in. Shien is not there now because it is a day-off and the one with me is the newcomer.
Around eight o'clock in the evening, some people entered our store. I think there are about six of them messing around where they put our goods.
"Miss! How much is it?" Curiosity of the man.
"Twenty five." My answer.
"Is this a miss?" Another inquired.
I struggled before answering.
"Fifteen."
"Is this it? Then this? This too ohh? How much are they?" All the men took our goods.
"Brother, are you really going to buy? Did you see that there is a price there?"
Slowly the man with a lot of food approached me.
"Costumer's always right."
"Really? But now it's not fashionable for you to leave here if you don't order it!"
"You're rude too ah? Is that how you talk to your costumers? Where is the owner of this store?"
"It's not here so if you can pay for that when you're stuck."
Tossed cheese curls in front of me.
"Hurry up or you'll get mad at me and I won't pay for that."
I stared at it again and then rushed to take their orders.
"You're not good at selling here because you're rude," many say.
I stopped putting in the plastic bag because it was a bit teasing.
"Get out of here we don't need you as rude!"
"Because really ..." He would have attacked me with a hand that stopped him.
Cedric, is Cedric here now? Oh my goodness.
"How many women have your hands hurt?" He asked the man seriously.
"What did you say?" Its an irritating question.
Cedric let go of his hand then showed his palm as a jacket pocket.
"For me, I can't count how many times I've used it just to hurt people." He gave the men a sharp look. "Maybe it'll happen again and I'll have a broken face." It continues.
Punch on the cashier table before the men ran away like flames. Cedric looked at me and threw the tissue paper he was holding.
"Wipe the blood from my hand." If you can order imagine who.
"Why?"
"What's your fault why it's bleeding!"
"Did I tell you to defend me?" So I can fight them when he comes. KAIRITA.
"Instead of thanking you for helping me, I think you're still angry."
We looked at each other before I opened the tissue then the tissue wrapped around my fist.
"You're not really afraid of what?"
"Finished." I pushed the hand away.
"Viper Berus has been waiting for you for a while. You want them to make trouble here."
"I'm at work aren't I?"
"Who has a paw? I'll give you five seconds to act if you don't get upset."
I stared before looking straight ahead.
"Oneeeee, twooooo, threeeee, fourrrr..."
"Ohh there it is oh!" I unbuttoned the apron at once reaching for my companion, "Pay me for one night for bothering you!" I was nervous when we got out of the store.
Face me after it stops walking.
"I already paid for defending you, didn't I?" Once back.
"Hey! I didn't say anything to defend me, ah!"
"I told you I don't care. Roselle just ordered me to take you to the plaza."
"Hmp! I can go there alone." I got on the motor and quickly drove away from that naughty man.
WHEN I arrived at the plaza, Roselle was there but there were other women with her.
"You came too." Looks like he's been waiting for a while. I can't understand why they stare at me so much that any wrong action or word will make me fall in love.
"What would you say?"
"Before that I just wanted to introduce you to our leader and member." It started
"Do you already know our group?"
"I just heard it." my weak response.
“Viper Berus is an organization of women gangsters but unlike the L-kingdom who know how to kill. K
If they are full of chaos, we seek peace. Despite everything, there is a limit to our kindness, we will fight to the best of our ability. "
Roselle's long explanation.
"I'm Marnelie Agub the leader of Viper Berus I heard you're the new warning of the L-kingdom right?"
"Yes."
"Aren't you afraid of them?"
"No,"
Laugh everyone.
"Aren't you worried that tomorrow many will be chasing you?" Curiosity of short hair.
"Ah by the way I'm Thania Parado youngest of them."
"Like duh? We're just the same age Thania!" Woman moaning with chewing gum.
"I'm Leah Tugom."
"Hi! I'm Christine Republica! Are you our new member?" Holding my hand.
"No." Quickly frowning at the answer I got straight away and went back to sitting.
"What is my fault with you why are you sending me here?
"If Lucifer has one but Viper doesn't have one. Roselle mentioned that you're listening to Cedric's conversation. I'm Christina Go, just call me Thina." Besides she only has black lipstick.
"And I'm Desirie Dela Cruz." She is simplest when formed.
"Now that I know you, what do you need from me ??"
They replied with wide smiles before looking at each other. I can't be bothered with what they will say next. I just hope they don't think of ordering me and making me a university assistant.
