Chapter 4
Isang buwan na ang lumipas at si Heoucrux at Cara ay naninirahan sa iisang apartment. Naging magkaibigan na nga sila pero hindi pa rin natitinag si Heoucrux. Bumalik na ang dating siya. Malamig ang tingin niya sa lahat at laging pailalim tumingin.
Matigas at laging hindi kalmado si Heoucrux. At sobrang tahimik niya. Minsan lang siya magsalita kapag nasa mood siya pero all in all she rarely speaks.
At hindi pa rin alam ni Cara na hindi si Charisma ang taong kasama niya kundi ang Domino Thirteen. Cara is clueless about everything and Heoucrux is aware she is deceiving her.
But Heoucrux became heartless she isnt guilty at all.
"Heou, tara bibili tayo ng school supplies." Sabi ni Cara habang inaayos ang patubo ng kalbong ulo sa salamin habang si Heoucrux ay nakadapa pa rin habang may earphones sa tenga at sobrang lakas nito na tipong si Cara ay narininig ang music.
Nilapitan niya ang kaibigan and she attempted to snatched away her earbuds when Heoucrux grabbed a tight hold of her hands.
Napabawi siya sa tindi ng pagkakahawak ni Heoucrux at sa gulat na rin.
"Geez. Easy girl. Aayain lang kitang bumili ng school supplies. Bukas na ang pasukan kaya get ready."
Heou just looked at her coldly at tumayo na nga. Laging madilim ang aura ng dalaga. Almost everytime na nakasanayan na ni Cara ang gano'ng aura niya.
Nag-ayos na nga siya at bumaba na para salubungin ang ayos ng si Cara. Nakafitted faded jeans ito at isang tight sleeveless white cropped top and she paired it with vans. She had accesories on the right places. The outfit suits her perfectly and she didnt even hide her semi bald hair. She looks strong.
While Domino has a simple tight black shirt on and overall skimpy jumper. She wore her favorite crocs.
It looks good on her. She had her hair dyed with silvery gray that made her so hot. With nothing on her face just a red lipstick on her lips. She's hot.
She walked with just a skully red purse and ramped all the way the streets.
Everyone turn to looked at the two gorgeous and strong women walking down the street.
Cara wore aviator shades chewing a gum while Domino licks a berry lollipop.
Everyone is in awe. Everyone admired Cara's strong beauty. Everyone flinched with Heou's hard glare.
They entered the bookstore.
"Let's get the things together, Heou. Baka umalis ka na naman ng walang pasabi eh."
Tumango si Heou at inuna nila ang notebooks na gagamitin, pens ibat ibang klase dahil architect ang kukunin ni Cara and kay Heou strangely, but its Political Science. Magaabogasya siya.
It's pretty funny dahil siya mismo ay kumikitil ng buhay, gumagawa ng krimen. And know she wanted to work with the rules, with law.
All in all. Bored si Heou at si Cara ang kumuha ng halos lahat ng kailangan niya at nilagay ito sa basket ni Heou. Halos nakuha ni Cara lahat ng kailangan ni Heou at nang matapos ay dumiretso na nga sila sa counter nang mapahinto si Heou sa isang libro.
"You go pay, I'll check out something I'll be back." Heou commanded and Cara barely even looked at her the way she demanded her.
She nodded slightly feeling uneasy. Nang makaalis si Heou ay siyang pumila na si Cara.
"Nakakaloka! Kapag ako nang-uutos wala lang sa kanya at kapag siya na, nakakakaba." She shivered at the thought and slightly laughed herself off.
While Heou. Nilapitan niya ang shelve ng libro at kinuha niya ito. She caress the book cover at pinagmasdan ang nobela. Nakuha nito ang atensyon ng malamig na dalaga.
Tiningnan niya ang likod ng libro at binasa ang summary.
THE DEVILS OF ILLUME SANTI
Illume Santi is an Elite Fraternity. This society is composed of devil incarnated bachelors, with knee dropping good looks, and just a pile of billions in their pockets.
But the media only knows the facade of these men, they didn't know the inner demons in themselves.
The Illume Santi boys are composed of students. The majority of the boys are law students others are in the field of medicine and engineering. They had one dirty secret that they've been keeping in the eyes of the media.
You see their families are big people in the society and they will never let the media to know that they've played, toyed and tortured a schizophrenic patient. An eighteen year old beautiful lady named Adelai Agustin.
Her heart felt like it was pierced with something. It feels like a nostalgia. Something intact, something pure and something real. She couldn't put herself away from the memories playing in her brain. She couldn't put a name in the pain she felt.
She read the name over and over again. She read the name of the girl written on the book. She caresses it.
Adelai Agustin.
May kakaibang sakit ang dumapo sa puso niya at pati sa ulo niya nang ulit-ulitin ang pangalan ng babae.
Adelai Agustin.
Adelai Agustin.
Adelai Agustin.
Pinikit niya ang mata niya and she never felt so much connected to something until she read the name of the girl.
She looked at the front cover of it again and read the title.
The Devils of Illume Santi.
Nagmadali siyang takbuhin ang nagbabayad ng si Cara at inihabol pa ang libro and she took out a 1000 bill.
And they took their belongings.
"Hey what's with the book? The covers amazing."
Heou look at her with a sad smile on her face and Cara looked famished.
"The book is about powerful men in fraternity torturing a schizophrenic girl called Adelai Agustin."
Natahimik saglit si Cara. Hindi alam ang sasabihin at parang may nagflash na recognition sa mata nito.
"Wow. Nakaexcite naman ang story, Pwedeng pabasa?"
Heou smiled softly and sadly. At parang may kumirot na kung ano sa puso ni Cara nang makita niya ang itsura nito. Sanay siyang laging nakabusangot si Heou. Hindi siya sanay na malungkot ito.
"Oo naman pero after kong basahin."
"Okay. But why are you so into this story? It's kind of morbid."
Heou dropped her smile and turned to looked at her.
"Because somehow the story felt connected to me. Even the name of the girl. I've never felt so connected to something."
Cara looked so curious and raised one of her eyebrow.
"In what way?"
"I don't know but it just did." Malungkot na sabi ni Heou.
Nang mapansin ni Cara na may tatlong lalaki na kanina pa sila pinapanood. Cara nudged Heou. Heou turned to her.
"What is it?"
Lumapit si Cara sa kanya at bahagyang hininaan ang boses.
"Look there are 3 hot young men watching us and they were gorgeous." Heoucrux remained looking at her uninterested. She shrugged.
"I know they were stalking us simula nung nasa loob tayo ng bookstore kaya halika, tara sa coffee shop."
Hinila ni Heou si Cara papalayo sa mga lalaki. While Cara kept on peeking at them and they were still following them.
"Holy s**t girl. They are following us."
Nakarating na sila sa coffee shop.
"Cara listen carefully, dont mind them okay? Dont throw any peeks at them, you got me?" Bulong niya dito at humarap sa counter. "What do you want?"
"Any frappe. And a Chocolate chip doughnut."
"Okay, now go and find a sit."
Tumango si Cara at sumunod.
Umorder na nga si Heou at habang nakatayo sa pilahan ay naanigan niya ang mukha ng isa sa kanila. Hindi niya kilala ang mga ito pero pamilyar sa kanya ang mga mukha nito.
Nakatitig ang isa sa kanya. Ramdam niya pa rin ang presensya at tinapos na nga ang pag-oorder at pumunta na sa pwesto nila nang makita niya ang kinauupuan ay nakita niyang nakaupo roon ang tatlong lalaki pinapaligiran ang nagbago ng aura na si Cara.
Ang isang lalaki ay halatang nilalandi siya sa kamay na nakapatong sa balikat nito. Ang isa ay naglalaro sa phone, ang isa ay nakatitig kay Heoucrux.
Ibinaba niya ang tray sa table nila.
"I didnt know that we have friends here." Sabi niya ng matigas at sinamaan ng tingin si Cara, Cara shrugged.
"Hi there, didnt know she had a friend here." Sabi nung nakaakbay kay Cara.
Tinaasan siya ng kilay ni Heoucrux at uminom saglit ng frap. Cara ignored them and ate.
"Ah yeah? Paano mo nasasabi yan kung kanina pa kayo sunod ng sunod sa amin?"
Malamig niyang sabi at nasamid si Cara napaiwas ng tingin ang isa at napabitaw sa pagkakaakbay yung isa. Natigil yung isa sa paglalaro at lahat sila napaiwas ng tingin. Iba ang hagod ng presensya ni Heoucrux.
"We are not following you two."
"Said the man who was watching us since then. Pwede ba pagmukhain mo ng tanga ang lahat wag lang ako." Heoucrux's voice was low and powerful. They flinched.
"Dude stop lying, explain it to them." Sabi nung naglalaro sa cp. she snapped and glared at him. Tila naman naguluhan si Cara at napokus na ang tingin sa mga lalaki na nasa table nila.
"What do you mean by that? Ano bang kailangan niyo?" Naiinis na sabi ni Cara at tumawa ang lalaking nakaakbay sa kanya at hinimas ang braso niya ng hampasin nito ang kamay. He glared at her.
Tumayo na si Cara.
"Dont come to school tomorrow." Napataas ng kilay si Heou. Sa sinabi nung lalaking nakatitig sa kaniya kanina. Tila natakot ang mga lalaki sa simpleng gesture niya.
"What's wrong with her bakit siya ganyan?" Turo nung malanding lalaki kay Heou. She just glared at him and he stepped back.
"Dude. Easy."
"Ano bang nangyayari? At alam niyo ba kung saan kami mag-aaral?" Sabi ni Cara at nanatiling tahimik si Heou.
"Just dont come to school tomorrow. You'll regret it."
"And why did you keep saying that we shouldnt go? Saan ba kami mag-aaral sige nga!" Hamon ni Cara habang nakapamaywang sa mga lalaki sa harap, nakatayo na silang lahat ngayon.
Tahimik pa rin si Heou at kampateng inuubos ang inumin. Nakadekwatro pa ito at napakasassy.
They smirked and nodded. Heou kept it calm and cool, she stayed silent. Kahit ang kaibigan ay iritado na.
"Then tell me saan?"
"Arc Domini."
