Her Extraordinary Revenge

HER: Rebirth

"—Oh yes baby, don't worry. I will take care of her for you. I will enjoy playing with her," nakangiting sagot ng babae sa kabilang linya habang patuyang nakatingin sa babaeng nakatali sa isang upuan.

"Good to hear you're enjoying. But make sure to not take it too long, I am waiting for you here. I already miss you," sagot naman ng isang malalim na boses ng lalaki sa kabilang linya.

Naka-loudspeaker kasi ang tawag kaya kahit na may kahinaan ang boses ng lalaki ay mabilis iyong kumalat sa buong lugar dahil na rin sa katahimikan ng lugar.

Matunog na napangiti ng matamis ang babae habang patuloy pa ring nananatili ang mapang-aasar niyang mga mata sa nakataling babae.

"Yep, I will make this real quick then. Wait for me there, baby, I love you!" she sweetly said, with a smile and smack a kiss near the phone.

A low and husky laugh came from the phone. "I love you too, my Ara," the guy gently said.

Napakuyom naman ang mga kamay ng babaeng nakatali sa upuan habang walang emosyong nakatingin sa babaeng nakikipaglandian sa kanyang harapan.

She wanted to get mad, she wanted to shout, she wanted to talk to the guy on the other end of the phone and cry out.

Pero sa sobrang pagsunod-sunod ng mga pangyayari, napagod na siya masyado para umiyak. Pagod na rin siyang magtanong lalo pa't para saan pa kung nasa harap na rin naman niya ang sagot.

Harap-harapan ng binigay sa kanya ang sagot so what's the use of trying?

"Just k*ll me already, Amara," she suddenly muttered emotionlessly.

Sakto naman na kakatapos lang ng tawagan nang dalawa. The girl, named Amara, motioned for a guy na isa sa mga utusan niya to come near her, ignoring the other girl's words.

The guy did as he was told. Bago lumapit ay kinuha muna niya ang isang maliit na kutsilyo gaya ng iniutos sa kanya kanina. Doon lang siya lumapit at agad na iniabot ang kutsilyong iyon kay Amara. Pagkakuha ng kutsilyo ay iniabot naman ni Amara ang hawak na cellphone sa lalaki bago nakangiting muling hinarap ang babae.

"Oh my! Don't be excited to die Lunez Faye, I was just starting to enjoy this," Amara crazily laughed at the other girl, her eyes full of mockery.

The said girl, who was tied to the chair, which was called Lunez Faye, did not respond, and just stared blankly at Amara.

Seeing the face of Lunez Faye, Amara laughed more. She slowly walks towards Lunez and lowers her head to Lunez's level. Smirking, she lifted her hand that was holding the knife and playfully used it to trace the already destroyed face of Lunez.

"Look at that, the beautiful Lunez Faye De Castro, with the angelic face loved by everyone, is now a hilarious one and a scarred one. You look like a monster, Faye, and it kinda suits you," she remarked, slightly chuckling at the end.

Hindi naman sumagot si Faye sa pang-aasar sa kanya ni Amara at sa halip ay walang emosyon niya lang na tinitigan ang babae. Then, before Amara could react to being ignored, Faye spit on Amara's beautiful face.

With a small smirk, she coldly added, "Disgusting," to the scared and terrified Amara.

"Eww! The hell?" tili ni Amara na mabilis na napalayo kay Faye.

Hearing her screamed, mabilis na napalapit sa kanya ang mga lalaking nakapaligid at tarantang inabutan siya ng panyo. May isa pa ngang nag-abot ng isang tasa ng tubig.

"Freak! How dare you!" Galit na sigaw ni Amara na may halo pang pagtili sabay tapon ng panyo sa lalaking pinakamalapit at mabilis na nilakad ang pagitan niya at ni Faye.

With a furious and a bit crazy face, she picked up the small knife that slipped from her hands when she was spat by Faye.

"I will k*ll you!" She crazily yelled at her before digging the knife into Faye's shoulder blade.

"Aah!" Faye shouted in pain, and gritted her teeth tightly afterward.

That'll be her last cry of pain. Hindi niya hahayaang mas lalong ma-enjoy ni Amara ang kabaliwang ginagawa nito sa kanya.

So, clenching her teeth, she ignored the pain. But the pain in her heart was so great, she couldn't hold the tears from pouring out.

She was hurting physically, but it wasn't enough to forget the emotional pain she is suffering.

Maliban sa pangta-traydor sa kanya ng karibal niya, may mas sasakit pa pala sa katotohanang pinagtaksilan siya ng lalaking pinakamamahal niya. And that is the fact that she was betrayed, played like a fool, and fooled by her boyfriend with her enemy.

At ngayon nga, pinagkaisahan siyang wakasan ng taong pinaka-ayaw niya at ng taong pinakamamahal niya.

Hindi lang nila siya sinaktan, emotionally. Hindi pa sila nakuntento at gusto pa siyang saktan physically, almost destroying her. Already k*lling her.

From betraying her, to k*dnapping her and bringing her somewhere she doesn't know, then revealing everything they did to her. ’Yung plano ng dalawa na paibigin siya, at sasaktan kapag hulog na hulog na siya. Then now which was a physical pain naman. Binugb*g, nilatig*, sinabuyan ng asido sa mukha, and the thing that might save her out from this suffering, the countless st*bs on her body.

"D*e! D*e! D*e you b*tch! I'm going to k*ll you!" Amara crazily muttered while st*bbing her tummy.

Sunod-sunod na napaubo siya na may kasamang dugo dahil sa mga s*ksak na natanggap niya. She could feel it, her life was slowly slipping away.

Just what was the reason why they are doing this to her? Ano bang nagawa niya sa dalawa para pahirapan siya ng mga ito. Na pati ang pamilya niya ay idinamay, dahil lang sa galit na hindi niya alam ang dahilan.

Kaya naman bago pa tuluyang malagutan ng hininga, with all her strength, she lifts her head and stared straight unto Amara's eyes, na agad na napahinto sa pags*ksak sa kanya ng magkasalubong ang mga mata nila.

"I-I-I-mi-might d*e t-t-today . . ." Closing her eyes, she coughed hard. "B-But at least, I-I will d*e w-w-with so m-much love. A-a-unlike y-you!" she spat out, with all her might.

Hearing her words, Amara's face contorted in anger.

"Aahh! So annoying! D*e! D*e! D*e!" A crazy and hysterical Amara shrieks, while continuing st*bbing Faye, this time straight to the heart.

With Faye's last breath, she promised to herself, "In my second life, I won't let them hurt me again like this. I will avenge myself even how innocent they are in their second life, I will still take my revenge."

"Lunes!"

"Hoy Lunez Faye!"

Parang naalimpungatan lang mula sa isang malalim na pagkakatulog na napa-ungot si Faye habang sinusubukang matulog pa dahil pakiramdam niya ay antok na antok siya.

Pero marahas siyang napabangon ng bigla ay isa-isang bumalik sa alaala niya ang mga nangyari sa kanya. Mula sa panloloko sa kanya ni Kirth, hanggang sa huling hiningang ginawa niya bago mamatay.

Nanlalaki ang mga matang napatingin lang siya sa harapan niya ng matapos alalahanin ang mga iyon ay mag-register sa utak niya ang lahat. At parang panaginip lang na nakaupo ulit siya sa kanyang kama, habang naririnig ang papalakas nang papalakas na katok sa pinto ng mama niya sa kwarto niya.

"What the . . ."

She slowly muttered as she roamed her eyes around the familiar room.

As far as she can remember, it was her room when she was in senior high. Her new room to their new house matapos ng ilang taon nilang papalit-palit ng bansa. The first room she ever had.

Napakunot ang noo na napatingin siya sa orasan na nakasabit sa dingding sa harap ng kama niya, it was almost six in the morning. Then her eyes landed on the calendar na nakasabit katabi noon, and her look couldn't be more shocking.

June 4, 20** - Monday

Sino ba namang hindi magugulat kung sa pagtingin mo sa kalendaryo ay makikita mong ilang taon ding bumalik mula sa present na taon ang date na nasa kalendaryo niyo?

Hindi naman sana iyon ganoon nakakagulat kung hindi niya lang naaalala ang kalendaryong iyon. Na ayon sa pagkakaalala niya ay ang kalendaryo, kung saan una niyang ginamit para markahan ang mga mahahalagang araw na nangyari sa taong iyon.

Kung anu-ano na tuloy ang pumasok sa isip niya. Kung anu-anong idea na maaaring magpaliwanag sa nangyayari ngayon sa kanya.

Her first hypothesis is that maybe all of the things happened on the previous—I mean—all the things happened to her were actually a dream kung saan parang isa siyang vision nang future, dahil sa mga panaginip niyang mangyayari sa future?

But to go against that, if that was all just a dream then why does it feel like it was so real? Like, up to now, ramdam pa rin niya lahat ng sakit–physical or emotional na ipinaramdam sa kanya ng panaginip na iyon. Even the resentment na mayroon siya sa mga taong may kasalanan ng lahat ay hindi nawala o ni nabawasan man lang. Another flaw about that is that, how can there be a dream that can took almost two years before waking up?

What she means is that, she could clearly remember everything. Mula sa taong makilala niya ang lahat, hanggang sa kamuhian niya ang lahat, was so clear in her mind.

Can that be really only a vision shown in her dreams?

The other hypothesis which she found more far-fetched than the first one is that, maybe everything really happened, and then when she died, metempsychosis happened to her resulting in her rebirth now.

Can she have a more plausible conclusion than that?

"Lunez Faye De Castro! Another call from me and I will freeze all your accounts and ground you for real!"

"Oh sh*t!" she cursed when she finally heard her mom's angry shouting. "I'm awake now Mom! I'm awake! I'm already walking towards the bathroom! No need to get angry!"

And no need to ground me and freeze my account. Jeez. She silently added.

Shaking her head, she hurriedly moved and did as she said.

Geez. I think I really rebirth.
