Men in Black
ALLY
'Leaked photo scandal of CEO, Ally Anderson with her investor.'
'Photo scandal of CEO, Ally Anderson gone trending. So disgusting!'
'Highly-respected CEO, Ally Anderson, proofs on having an affair with a married man!'
I crumpled the newspaper am holding and throw it in the garbage bin.
"URRGGHH!! D*MN YOU, ELLE!!" I yelled out of anger. "What are you going to do now? Elle ruined your reputation." I heard Iona's voice.
I stared at her with my deadly glare. "I'll make her pay for this. Humanda saakin ang babaeng yan. Napupuno na talaga ako sa kanya!" I said in a serious tone.
"And..?" She added. I smiled evilly. "Call the boys."

ELLE
"Have you seen this already?" Jomari asked. I stared at him. He's holding a newspaper. "Yes." I said casually.
"And?" He hissed. "What do you mean?"
"We both know that Ally will have its revenge on you, she will not let this off, you know. You'd placed her reputation at stake and for sure, she's really mad right now." I smiled when he said that.
"Who cares and I'm not scared. To tell you honestly, It's part of my plans. Go on and let her do her revenge. Hindi ko siya uurungan." I spoke at tumayo paalis ng bahay.
"Where are you going? Dis oras na ng gabi." He asked. "Somewhere to unwind." Sabi ko habang nagtuloy-tuloy sa paglalakad patungo sa kotse ko.
"Sasamahan na kita." Tinignan ko siya. I saw nervousness in his eyes. "No need. I can manage myself. Thanks for your concern though." Hindi ko na siya hinintay pang magsalita sapagkat pumasok na ako sa kotse ko at pinaandar ito.
I drove until I reached bar. Bumaba ako pagkapark ko ng kotse. I immediately proceeded inside of the bar and searched for two persons.
"Hi guys!" I greeted them..They both stunned and immediately hugged me.. "I miss you bakla!!" Patty exclaimed. "Akala ko hindi na tayo magbabonding! Ang busy mong tao eh! Lalo na't ang taray ng pasabog mo!" Vanessa added.
I smiled as I sat down. "Nakaorder na kayo?" Tanong ko sa kanila. "Yes. Dating gawi?" Natatawang tanong ni Vanessa and then we both laughed. "I missed these... Simple yet happy life. Free from stress and problems.." I suddenly uttered.
And then the atmosphere changed.
It became heavy.
Emotional.
Heavy hearted, they both hugged me.
"We are very happy seeing you alive, Elle. But it's partnered with sadness for you had lost your angel. We are very sorry for feeling this way.." Vanessa held my hand while saying those words to me..I faked a smile, enough to show to them that they are not supposed to feel sorry..
"Bakla, we are just here for you. Always, tandaan mo yan.." I nodded.. Ang dami nang nangyari, but our friendship didn't change, in fact, it became stronger.
We had a couple of drinks, chitchats, and food trips bago kami umuwi.
It's already 11:30pm when we went out of the bar.
"So paano? Kailan ang sunod nating pagkikita?" Patty asked. "I'll just dm or pm you, as of now, may mga bagay pa akong dapat asikasuhin at paghandaan." sabi ko.
Muli kaming nagyakapan bago sumakay sa kani-kanilang sasakyan.
Naglakad na akong papuntang kotse ko sa may parking lot.
I'm looking for my keys on my bag. Nang makita ko na ito ay agad kong pinailawan ang kotse ko para makita ko kaagad.
Napangiti ako nang makita ko na ito, and continued walking kaso biglang may nagsulputang mga men in black sa harap ko.
"Who are you?" I asked coldly. "Hindi mo na dapat pang malaman kung sino kami. Sumama ka na lang saamin nang maayos kung ayaw mong masaktan." One of the men in black threatened me.
"What if I don't?" Matapang kong tanong.
"Then, pasensyahan tayo." And with that bigla nila akong nilapitan attempting to chain me.
Ngunit nanlaban ako. I tried every form of martial arts. I succeeded.
"Mga wala naman pala kayong binatbat." I said in a cocky tone. I started walking when I thought it's the end.
But as I started walking, suddenly, biglang may nagtakip ng bibig ko. Nagpupumiglas ako nang bigla akong makaamoy ng kakaibang amoy na nagdulot saakin nang panghihina ng katawan hanggang sa tuluyan na akong mawalan ng ulirat.
