Project Xt-178

Battle 35

Morrigan's pov:

Dumating na rin ang araw kung saan ipapakilala ko sa mga doctor ng loob ng empire and Empire weapon na ginawa ko, nasa bahay ako ngayon at inaayos ang sarili ko habang nasa likod si Louie na tumatawa.

"Kumalma ka Kuya," natatawang sabi ni Louie.

"I iisip ko kasi kung paano pag-pumalpak?" Bulalas kong tanong.

"Wag Kang panghinaan ng loob, tandaab mo sabi diba ni Jannelliza may tiwala s'ya sa'yo," saad ni Louie.

Huminga naman ako ng malalim at tumingin dito.

"This weapon is my only

my only ticket to be at the same level of Jannelliza," I hopelessly said.

"Trust yourself Kuya Morrigan, kung nandito si Jannelliza paniguradong binatukan ka," natatawang sabi ni Louie.

Huminga naman ako ng malalim bago tumingin sa phone ko, huminga ako ng malalim bago ito hawakan, As much as I want to call Jannelliza but I can't, I made an oath to myself that I won't call her unless my invention became successful.

"Tawagan mo!" Sigaw ni Louie.

Imbis pansinin ito ay lumabas ako at sumakay na lamang sa motor ko dahil pupunta na ako sa Empire, ilang minuto lamang ay naka-rating na ako at tila dinadaga matapos makita ang mga foreign leaders ng ibat-ibang bansa na pwedeng bumili ng mga weapon.

"I can do this," I said to myself.

Agad akong binati ng guard matapos akong makita at dumiretso ako kung saan magaganap ang event, I was greeted by alot of inventions in the hall which made me amazed by all the robotic stuff. I quickly collected myself and walked towards the empire accessories booth, hindi ko naman maiwasang ngumiti dahil pito lang kaming gumawa ng empire accessories habang ang iba ay mga robotic helper. Dra. Ylreveb was right, only few investors can create a good empire weapon.

Bigla naman tumunog ang speaker kaya napa-tingin kami sa mga screen ng bawat booth.

"Welcome to the annual empire inventions event, where all the investors can show their very own invention and sell it to buyers, soldiers, business personnel, or even country leaders."

Matapos nitong mag-salita ay bumukas na ang pinto at pumasok na ang mga tao sa ibat-ibang bansa, I took a deep breath before taking out a box and open the glass lid of it. Lumipas ang ilang minuto ay lumapit na sa'kin si Dra. Ylreveb at may kasama itong 4 na mukang Inventors din at 3 presidente ng ibang bansa.

"So Dr. Morrigan, can you show us your invention?" Dra. Ylreveb asked to me.

Ngumiti naman ako bago kunin ang isang choker.

"This choker is what I called "Rose Garden", this might seem small and can't do anything but this empire weapon accessories can give you a high expectation." I started, I quickly tap the red botton and wear it. " This weapon is very unique specially when it comes to its ability, it can generate any medical plats to poisonous plants."

"How does it works?" A man asked who looks like at the aged of 50.

"You just have to think of an specific plant and watch it bloom in the dirt," I explained and turn my attention to a pot of dirt and raised my hand, the dirt slowly moves as a rose suddenly appeared from it.

Dahil dito ay unti-unting lumapit ang mga tao sa'kin, ngumiti naman ako sa kanila bago kumuha ng maliit na lupa mula sa paso.

"You can manipulate the size of each plants that you want to grow," I explained before i made a small Cephalotus follicularis or also know as pitcher plant "This plant can grow as much as you want and make it small again," I added before growing the plant around 6ft and returning it back to an inch.

Everyone clapped at me after showing of the ability of my invention.

"I think we should start the bidding with this weapon, I'll buy it for 1 million peso," the man said.

"I'll take it for 1.5 million peso," the other man said.

"4 million peso!" A woman shouted.

Nagulat naman ako dahil sa laki ng pera ng mga gustong bumili nito, Jannelliza was right about the "Rose Garden" for being Unique.

"Going once? going twice?" a robot asked.

"9 million peso!" another woman shouted.

"11 million peso!" A man protested.

"I'll buy it for 100 million peso!" A man with white suit shouted.

Halos lumuwa ang mata ko dahil sa laki ng pera na sinigaw ito.

"Going twice anyone?" the robot asked but everyone became silent. "Sold to Mr, Alvares!" the robot added.

Pumalakpak naman ang mga tao matapos mabili ang ginawa ko, my phone beep and quickly opened it, I was so shocked to see 95 million peso on my account, it means that the empire took 5 million peso while the rest is mine. Lumapit sa'kin si Dra, Ylreveb habang naka-ngiti, hindi ko rin maiwasang mapa-ngiti dahil matagumpay ang invention ko.

"Congratulations on the successful sale of your invention Morrigan," Dra. Yleveb greeted.

"Hindi ko po magagawa ito kung wala kayo Dra. This invention won't be a big success without your help," I said proudly.

Matapos nito ay agad akong pumunta sa opisina mg Dr. Ylreveb, I pulled out my phone and contacted Jannelliza.

"What's up?" I asked.

"Doing nothing but you sounds happy right now," she said while looking at me.

"My invention was a big success and I was able to sell ot for 95 million peso," I happily announced to her.

"I'm so happy for you Morrigan," she genuinely said with a genuine smile on her face.

"It's a good news," I proudly said.

Bigla naman sumeryoso ang muka ni Jannelliza habang naka-tingin sa'kin.

"I really wanna give you a big hug right now Morrigan but I can't, I wanna celebrate with you right now because I wanna be by your side while enjoying your happy moment," she said.

Hindi ko naman maiwasang kiligin dahil sa sinabi nito, she really captured my heart with her personality and attitude. sumapit naman ang gabi ay agad akong umuwi ay na kita ang kapatid ko.

"Bakit mukang masaya ka Kuya?" tanong ni Louie.

"Why don't you check your phone to see the reason behind my smile," I responded.

Tumingin naman ito sa phone nito at biglang nanlaki ang mata.

"Potek kuya 2 million peso laman ng bangko ko!!!" Gulat na sigaw nito.

Ngumiti naman ako rito bago guluhin ang buhok ni Louie. "My invention was a success and I was able to sell it for 100 million peso and got the 95 million peso, pack up your things and tomorrow we'll move out from here."

"Bakit Kuya?" tanong nito.

"Bumili ako ng bahay at lupa sa halagang 3 million kaya may bago na tayong bahay Louie," ngiting paliwanag ko.

Dahil dito ay magana kaming kumain pareho, umakyat naman ako sa kwarto matapos kumain at tumingin sa isang picture frame.

"I wish you were here with us Mom and Dad, I really wanna share my sucess to the both of you. I promise that I'll take care of Louie so yoh won't have to worry about him anymore," I said to the picture.

Hinubad ko naman ang t-shirt ko bago humiga ng tuluyan.

"Now I'll just have to wait for you Jannelliza," bulong ko sa hangin bago ako tuluyang mag-palamon sa antok.
