Common, Make me

A mess that Arden created

Common, Make me

* * *

"Ang kapal naman ah. Talagang pinagsabay-sabay pa? May Arden na nga, may Dustin pa. What a b***h, ang landi. Kating-kati ka na girl?"

Mariin na lang na pumikit si Via upang kalmahin iyong sarili sa narinig. Alam naman niya kasi niyang kasalana talaga niya ang lahat, at iniiwasan niya na pumatol kahit na kating-kati na rin siyang sampalin nang ubod ng lakas si Fiona. Pero siyempre, hindi naman niya maaaring gawin iyon, she was a well-educated woman. Hindi niya ito papatulan dahil takot siyang mamantsahan iyong pangalan niya, but, she will not let her anger consume her because it was wrong. Igniting the fire more can burn a house.

So, she'll just let it pass.

Fiona, siya iyong nurse na tagatanggap sa mga binibigay ni Arden at iyong nurse na pinag-uutusan niya lagi na itapon iyong mga bulaklak.

Letseng Fiona, masyadong pakialamera. If she'll just shut her mouth. Eepal pa eh.

Bumuntong hininga na lang siya at patuloy na inalalayan si Dustin at nagpanggap na bingi. "Tara na, dalhin na kita sa opisina mo, ako na gagamot sa iyo," aniya sa doktor at nginitian ito nang pilit. Nag-aalalang tumingin lang din ito sa kaniya. Dustin smile a little while shaking his head.

"I think you should go back to your office too, Via. Don't worry about me, I can still manage. Malayo naman sa bituka ito," saka ito mahinang tumawa upang pagaanin iyong tensyon sa paligid. "Gwapo pa rin naman ako kahit na may sugat sa labi at natadyakan."

Vianna tsked, annoyed with his reply.

"Dustin naman—"

Agad namang sumabat si Fiona at taas-noong umeksena sa usapan ng dalawa. "Magpahatid ka na lang kasi, Doc. Huwag ka na mahiya..." saka ito tumawa bahagya at inikot iyong mata. "You don't need to be shy on her . . . gayahin mo iyang kasama mong makapal iyong mukha. And, oh! One more thing, she's aslo a b***h pala."

"Fiona!" hindi napigilang sumigaw si Dustin.

Marahas na bumaling si Via kay Fiona. "Ano ba ang problema mo ha?!" malakas na sigaw nito.

Napaigtad pa nga iyong kaibigan ni Fiona dahil sa sigaw niya, iyong kaibigan pa iyong mas natakot. Well, aside from the fact that Via is intimidating, she looks very scary when she's mad, that's why.

Ikinuyom na lang ni Via iyong kamao at humugot ng hininga.

"Look, if you're mad because of what I did to Arden then I don't f*****g care! I already turned him down yet he's still persistent! Hindi raw siya hihinto eh, edi hinayaan ko na. Problema na niya iyon, I don't—"

She didn't finished her sentence when Fiona burst out too.

"And letting him chase you like a dog? Is that it?! Nakita ko pa nga kayo kaninang umaga sa parking lot na magka-kiss, iyan ba iyong 'turned him down' na pinagsasabi mo? Nagpapatawa ka, Via. Hindi mo iyan ikinaganda." mas napakuyom na lang iyong kamao ng dalaga dahil sa inasta nito.

Abangers. This b***h. Daig pa ang kapitbahay nila dati na si Tess na masyadong sawsawera.

Instead of showing anger, she confidently walk towards Fiona like it didn't bother her. She needs to act like it doesn't affect her. Kung nagagalit ito, puwes, mas gagalitin na lang niya ito lalo.

"Galit na galit ka naman. If you want Arden then go, he's all yours bitch." She said proudly, kinda smirking like she won. Akmang tatalikod na sana siya nang isang kamay ang malakas na dumapo sa pisngi niya. Tumabingi pa nga ito sa gilid at natabunan ng mismong buhok iyong pagmumukha niya. Medyo nagulat pa siya dahil hindi niya inaasahan iyon. Nagsinghapan iyong nasa paligid.

Fiona look at her with range. And in Fiona's mind, she told herself that Vianna deserves that slap.

"How dare you para ikumpara mo ako sa sarili mo, Via! Hindi ako ikaw! Hindi ako malandi. Hindi ako kagaya mo na pinapahabol, pinapaasa at pinapahirapan si Arden! Even na maldita ako pero may puso naman ako. Sige! Ilagay na lang natin na matagal mo ng hinindian si Arden pero anong karapatan mong paasahin siya? Ano? Por que patay na patay sa'yo iyong tao ay gaganyan ka na?! Tanga na lang ang maniniwala sa iyo! Turned him down my foot. Mas masahol pa iyang ugali mo sa hayop! You have no conscience, you don't deserve the respect you get from people around you when you don't even respect on Arden! Ang kapal-kapal naman ng mukha mong saktan iyong pinsan ko!" angil nito na puno ng gigil.

Natigilan ang lahat na naki-usyoso sa pangyayaring naganap. Samot-saring reaksiyon. May gulat, may natakot, may nasiyahan at may nagalit kay Via.

"Y-your what?" Via stammered, bahagya pang nanlaki iyong mata niya. She realized why Fiona acted that way. She feels bothered now, gone the confidence in her.

The table has turned. Fiona smirked and raised a brow. "Pinsan ko. Ano? Gulat ka? Aba, dapat lang uy! Kapal ng mukha mong malandi ka! Hindi ka naman worth to risk! Nakakahiya iyang level of confidence mo. Feeling pa-victim. Masyado kang mapagmataas eh? Ew! Nakakahiya ka. As a woman with dignity, I despise you for being one of us."

Out of anger and shame she feel si Via naman ngayon iyong sumampal kay Fiona. Sa lakas nga no'n ay talagang umalingawgaw iyong tunog nito sa kabuuan na parte ng hallway kasabay ng mga singhap ng manonood. Even Dustin, he was just staring at them. Hindi na ito naka-awat sa dalawa. He's out of words to say so. Hindi rin siya makagalaw, he didn't expect to see this situation wherein he's also at fault.

"How dare you to judge me?! How dare you para pangunahan ako? Me? A b***h?! I don't have conscience — then yes! Oo, ginawa ko iyon for him to stop already. Wala kang alam, Fiona! Wala! You don't know what I went through! You don't know the pain I gained because of him! So what if you saw us earlier—"

Fiona scoffed, can't believe of what she heard.

"Oh tapos? Ah, alam ko na, gumaganti ka!" sigaw nito. She shouted with sarcasm. "Kaya mo pinapaasa at sinasaktan dahil gumaganti kang punyeta—"

"Enough." someone roared.

Finally, Dustin was capable to say something. He stopped them before pa ito magsabunotang dalawa.

He walk towards Via at hinigit iyong kamay nitong nanlalalamig na. Then, she look at Fiona who's proudly cross her arms in her chest.

He clenched his jaw, but trying his best to act professional. "Stop this already. Enough is enough." Dustin said with finality. Using his power as the son of the owner of that hospital.

Hindi na lang nagsalita ni sino sa kanila, even those people who's watching them. Fiona just clicked her tongue and rolled her eyes. Nailing pa siya dahil si Via na naman ngayon iyong nagmukhang kawawa at siya iyong napasama. Well, Fiona doesn't care about it. Hindi pa siya tapos kay Via. Kakasimula pa lang niya, she will pay her back.

"Sige po, doc. I will stop, but before that, I want to say something really really important to her..." humakbang muna siya papalapit ulit kay Via at seryoso siyang pinakatitigan. She look at her from head to toe, visible the disgust and the hatred on her stare.

Insulting right? Yes, it is.

"Whatever your reason doesn't matter for me anymore, Via. You stood so low for your degree, psychometrian ka pa naman. I may invalidating your feelings pero wala na akong pake. Hindi ka nga nahiyang manakit sa pinsan ko. Wala nga siguro akong alam, oo. Pero, may nangyari bang maganda sa paghihiganti mo ha? Hindi ba't wala?" she paused for a while then continued, she inhale deeply. "You don't deserve to be happy either. If that's your mindset, if that's your personality then, hindi mo deserve na maging masaya kung puro galit ang nandiyan sa puso mo." when they look at Fiona, nangilid na iyong luha nito at bahagyang nanginig iyong boses.

They just let her. Hinayaan lang nilang patapusin ito upang matigil na.

"Akala mo hindi ko kayo narinig, 'no? Akala mo hindi ako nasaktan sa mga sinabi mo kay Kuya Arden doon sa parking lot? Nasaktan ako para sa kaniya! How dare you to say those words?! Napakawala mong puso! Deserve mo ngang sampalin pa eh! Ginawa ni kuya lahat para sa iyo! Matagal siyang naghabol, matagal siyang nagtiis. He even didn't date anyone because he was loyal to you, he sticked to his promises because he loves you more than himself! He even study hard kasi hindi ba, sinabi mo no'n na baka may chance kayo if naging doktor na siya. Then, what did you do? Is that 'I turned him down' you're saying? Anong karapatan ko na makisawsaw sa kung ano man mayroon sa inyo? Listen b***h. Pinaglalaban ko lang si kuya dahil walang gumawa no'n para sa kaniya! Pinaglalaban ko lang ang kuya ko at ang karapatan niyang magalit. Now, sana nasiyahan ka ano? Sana nga. I hope after this, you will finally at ease..." Fiona stopped then wiped her tears, medyo sininok pa nga ito before she continue her sentence. Via suddenly feel ashamed and slowly those words sink in with her mind.

Nagsimula na rin siyang maiyak.

"Sana bumalik sa'yo lahat, Via. Lahat-lahat ng sakit na pinaramdam mo kay kuya! Sana kung gaano mo siya trinato ay ganoon din ang gagawin sa'yo! Sana, sana iparamdam din sa'yo kung paano maghabol, maging miserable at maging tanga! Hindi mo deserve na sumaya . . . hindi mo deserve na sumaya gayong may nasasaktan ka! I hate you. I really really hate you! Hinding-hindi kita mapapatawad sa ginawa mo kay kuya! From now on, I will not let kuya to be stupid for a woman like you ever again, he deserves someone who can value and love him! I will never let him see you again, tandaan mo 'yan! I will protect him no matter what! Hindi mo deserve si kuya, hindi mo deserve iyong pagmamahal niya! Kinakahiya kita."

And with that, Fiona march away while sobbing hard. Nanlumo na lang si Via at humagulhol.

In her mind, she realised that... Tama nga si Fiona. She doesn't deserve to be loved . . . hinding-hindi.

She thought on herself that . . .

I am no longer pure. Who will love me anyway?

Revenge is not the solution for a broken soul. Acceptance and forgiveness is the only way to mend it.
