Wheel of Destiny Chapter 19: Sam’s Plan: Backfired na Plano
Ang paghuhukom sa school board ay dumating na, ito ang tingin ngayon ni Sam na nakangiti sa harap nila Diva at Khel, sa isip niya ay panalo na siya, binigay niya na ang ebidensya para sa meeting na ito at walang duda na matatanggal na niya sa board ang dalawa.
“My dear members of the board, alam naman natin ang dapat nating gawin, these two have overstepped their bounds, violated our policies and basically played with our system, I move of the immediate dismissal of these two and their shares be bought by someone na alam ang dapat gawin sa school natin, someone like myself” sabi naman ni Sam at nakangiti ito sa dalawa.
“Is that All Sam? Wala ka ng ibang gustong sabihin?” Tanong ni Diva at ngumiti naman ito, parang may alam siya na hindi alam ni Sam. Tumayo ang maganda at sexy na ina ni Ariel at ngumiti sa board.
“Why don’t we go to your points one by one, okay lang ba yun Sam? I think Khel and myself deserve the chance to explain ourselves and after which lets do a vote, if tingin niyo we should sell the shares we have and we would be out of your way” sabi ni Diva at nakangiti ito.
“Alright, sige, pero I think the evidence speaks for itself, pero go ang try to unravel if you want to” sabi ni Sam at naka-ngiti naman ito sa binata na nakatitig lang sa kanya at walang ekspresyon
“Okay, let me start then, I was accused of overstepping my boundaries as a directress in firing one of the tenured professors” sabi ni Diva at pinatawag niya ang kanyang sekretarya na nagbigay ng files sa mga members ng board
“I know I may have fired him immediately pero I did that to personally protect the well being of all the students here” sabi ni Diva at ngumiti naman ang ginang skay Sam na tinitignan ang mga files
“With you is a file of all the different victims of this professor, nakalagay diyan ang mga evidences and I would play the videos pero I think masyadong graphic na ito, you will see him having sex with those students, something that absolutely beats the teacher code, our code of ethics, and it would be against the law” sabi ni Diva
“These are all speculations, kita naman sa mga posts, what stops me from posting that I was raped by Mr. Marquez? Di ba parang usual MO ito ng mga bata, crying wolf kasi may galit sa prof?” Sabi naman ni Sam at ngumiti si Khel
“Pwede nga yon, thats why I went the extra mile Sam, something na hindi mo nagawa, I found one of his victims and she is willing to talk to us in exchange for seeking justice against him” sabi ni Khel at tumayo ang binata at lumabas sandali at bumalik kasama ang isang estudyante
“Ladies and Gentlemen this is Ms. Melanie Madrazo, one of the victims of Mr. Topher Marquez” sabi ni Khel at ngumiti siya kay Melanie “Ms. Madrazo, please tell your story for the board, I promise na wala ng mang-aabuso sa iyo” sabi naman ni Khel
Tumango ang magandang dalaga at nagsalita “Good morning po, I was a former student of Mr. Marquez, I had a failing prelims grade po noon and medyo relax lang ako sa class niya po, he told me he wanted to talk to me, but then…” sabi ni Melanie pero naluluha na siya agad
“Then he raped me, he raped me and videotaped it all, may mga cameras siya sa office niya and he made sure I was seen doon. Matapos noon ay naulit ng naulit iyon hanggang sa matapos ang sem, binigay niya ang video sa akin at binigay ko na po iyon kay Mam Diva and Sir Khel, hindi po ako anghel, pero demonyo po yung prof na yun, demonyo po!” Sabi naman ni Melanie at naiyak na siya
Pinatahan naman na siya ni Diva at tinawag ang sekretarya niya para makuha ng tubig ang dalaga, gulat na gulat naman ang mga tao ss rebelasyon ng dalaga at maski si Sam ay di inaasahan ito.
“Here is a victim, a true victim of this Maniac professor, pero hindi lang iyan, marami pa and it includes my own sister, the daughter of Dolores Yuchi and my half Sister, so lets go to my defense shall we?” Sabi ni Khel at pinakita niya ang picture
“If you suddenly realize that your daughter or sister was raped by a man, what would you do? Di ba kayo ang unang unang magagalit? Di ba kayo ang unang una na susugod sa kanya? Mabuti nga di ko siya sinugod eh, Diva still managed to calm my anger” sabi ni Khel at tumango ito
“So thats why I was there, then you tell me, di naman rason yun to brandish a deadly weapon” sabi ni Khel at ngumiti ito at pumasok ngayon si Migz, dala ang isang katana na katulad ng nasa picture na kinuhaan ni Sam
“Thank you Migz, now Sam if you just got the picture closer, eh di sana you would have seen na hindi ito katana, this is nothing more than an umbrella” sabi ni Khel st ngumiti siya at binuksan ang payong
“Yung sisters ko po kasi ay mga half korean-half japanese kaya mahilig sila sa ganito, medyo makulimlim kasi noon and baka umulan, you see that my half sister has it?” Sabi ni Khel sa picutre na kasama na niya si Karina.
“And lastly, the abduction daw po, I wouldn’t say its an abduction, my mother knew na baka magwala ako, which I was ready to, kaya naman sinabihan niya ang mga tao niya to have him picked up and dropped off somewhere na gusto niya” sabi ni Khel at tumingin naman si Sam sa kanya
“Thats Bullshit and you know it, halatang nag-uusap kayo oh! Halatang pinagplanuhan ninyo si Sir Topher!” Sabi ni Sam at natawa naman ang binata dito, bagay na kinainis pa lalo ni Sam
“Well if you look at the CCTV eh umalis agad yung nag pick up kay Topher, God knows where he is now kasi ayaw sabihin sa akin, then you will see here we went to talk to my mother, kita dito the Van that picked him up went left, we went right so magkaiba ang daan namin” sabi ni Khel kay Sam
“I think naman na with this in place eh halatang may pinapanigan ka pa din Sam, I think you just want us out, di ba last meeting you said that you wanted someone to police the students and teachers, so here I am volunteering to do that, pero in investigating I realize one thing” sabi ni Khel at nilabas niya na ang CD na binigay ni Rose
Pinalabas naman na ni Diva si Melanie at binigyan ng instructions ang sekretarya na alagaan ito muna. Bumalik sa office niya din ito at kinuha din ang isa pang CD na binigay ni Rose at ngumiti ito
Bumalik sa boardroom si Diva at ngumiti “yes I think we should see the recordings of this video files na nasa CD na ito” sabi ni Diva at pinlay niya ang CD at nakita dito si Topher na gumagalaw ng kahina-hinala
Kuha ito ng CCTV cameras niya at makikita dito na nilalagyan niya ng drops ang tubig na binibigay niya sa estudyante niya at ngumingisi pa ito at tumatango at minsan dumidila pa sa labi niya
“This is a prime example of a guilty man, I asked our head nurse to check kung ano yung nilalagay ni Topher sa tubig at nalaman niya na isa itong pampalibog, pinapainom niya ito sa mga estudyante para naman makuha niya ito” sabi ni Diva at ngumiti si Khel
“Pero ang tanong, saan niya nakuha ang mga ito? Sino ang nagbigay sa kanya?” Sabi ni Khel at pinlay naman niya ang CD niya at makikitang si Sam ang nagbigay ng gamot sa manyak na professor.
“Kaya pala parang todo protekta ka sa kanya Sam!” Sabi ng isang board member at parang nabasa ng malamig na tubig ang binata, galit at inis ang nararamdaman niya laban kila Khel at Diva na para bang nabaliktad siya
“So I believe na tama pa din ang rationale ng meeting natin ngayon, and that is to remove a board member by forcing him to sell his stocks, and that board member is Samuel Andres” sabi ni Diva at nagulat ang binata
“Those who would like to force Mr. Andres to sell his remaining twenty percent of sales, raise your hand” sabi naman ni Diva at lahat ay nagtaas ng kamay “well I think its unanimous, we order you to sell your remaining twenty percent of shares to us immediately Mr. Andres, if not we would be forced to liquidate your shares” sabi ni Diva
“You can’t do this! This school was built by my family! My mother and father were the ones who made this school!” Sabi ni Sam na halatang galit na kay Diva ang binata
“And they would be ashamed of you for coddling a dirty old man in front of us! Bakit mo sinisira ang legacy ng magulang mo? Just to get power? They knew that the school needed to change and they did that by getting me, pero ikaw, you acted like a spoiled brat” sabi ni Diva
“This isb’t over! Its not! I will get my school from you! If its the last thing I do!” Sabi ni Sam at tumingin ito kay Khel “and you! I will get Ariel, and I will make her mine while you wallow in grief” sabi ni Sam at nagwalk out na siya
“Mr. Mendoza, please talk to Sam, if he doesn’t sell by next week we will start liquidating his shares” sabi naman ni Diva at tumango si Mr. Mendoza at sinundan niya ang binata “I think we could adjourn this meeting and we will have another one next friday for the shares of Sam to either be liquidated or introduce our new board member” sabi ni Diva at umalis naman na sila.
Ngumiti naman si Diva kay Khel at natawa ang binata “biruin mo yun, it worked!” Sabi ni Khel at natawa si Diva at lumapit ang binata at hinalikan niya si Diva, isang mainit at malibog na halik
“Hmmmm grabe, you made me hard while you did that talk” sabi ni Khel at natawa naman ang ginang “hmmmmm I’m glad pero di ako pwede today, red flag eh” sabi ni Diva at natawa naman si Khel “oh, thats a first ata?” Sabi ni Khel
“Oo, I have spotty periods, di na siya regular kasi tumatanda na, after siguro we could celebrate our victory?” Sabi ni Diva at tumango naman ang binata at lumabas na sila sa Board Room, lumapit naman ang sekretarya ni Diva
“Mam, Ms. Madrazo po went na to her class po, she wants to thank you for your help daw po” sabi ng sekretarya ni Diva “sige tell her to come see me after class okay? I want her to talk to my lawyer for her case” sabi ni Diva at tumango ito
Pumunta naman sila Khel sa office ni Diva at nandoon si Ariel at Ang team bahay. “Honey! How did it go?” Sabi ni Ariel at pumunta ito sa binata “we won” sabi ni Khel at hinalikan niya si Ariel.
“Yehey!” Sabi ng mga dalaga at nagpalakpakan sila. “We will be getting rid of Sam from the school board meaning niya nang ibenta ang shares niya” sabi ni Diva at nakangiti din ang binata
“Yes mawawala na ang may plano sayo girl” sabi ni Camille at tumango naman si Ariel “wala naman siyang magagawa sa akin kasi andito lang ang Honey ko” sabi ni Ariel at niyakap siya ni Khel “syempre naman” sabi ni Khel at ngumiti si Winter
“Ako din andito lang unnie!” Sabi ni Winter at nagpose ito sa dalaga “fighter Winter is here!” Sabi ni Winter at natawa si Aura “ako din ate andito lang” sabi ni Aura at nguniti si Ariel
“Syempre naman! We love each other din! Di ba Ma? Lab mo din kami?” Sabi ni Ariel at ngumiti ang Ginang sa kanila “oo naman! I love you all like my daughters, pero now, may class pa kayo di ba?” Sabi ni Diva at napatingin ang lahat sa isa’t isa
“Oo nga! Tara na!” Sabi ni Aura dahil alam niya ang tingin ng ina niya “Oo nga Honey, pasok muna kami ah? I love you” sabi ni Ariel at nagmadaling lumabas ang mga dalaga at natawa naman si Khel sa kanya
“Mahigpit pa din Mommy D?” Sabi ni Khel at natawa naman ito “oh you know kung gaano kahigpit naman talaga ako” sabi ni Diva at natawa naman ang binata at tumango.
Samantala si Sam ay nagwawala sa loob ng kwarto niya, sumisigaw at nagbabalibag ng gamit niya, di niya alam kung bakit nagkaganon, di niya alam kung bakit ang magandang araw niya na para sana tanggalin si Khel at Diva.
Pero eto siya, talo nanaman siya at ngayon, papaalisin na siya ngayon sa school board at sinabihan na siya ng isang miyembro ng board na ibenta na lang ang shares niya, Kesa naman ipaliquidate daw ito sa murang presyo.
Galit na galit si Sam, di niya alam ang dapat gawin, mawawala na sa pamilya niya ang eskwelahan na ginawa ng magulang niya at dahil naman iyon kay Diva at kay Khel, di man lang niya mapipigilan ito.
“Hmmmm hindi pa tayo tapos Diva, lalo ka na Khel, hindi pa tayo tapos!” Sabi naman ni Sam na punong puno ng galit at lumabas ng opisina niya si Sam at galit ito, dala niya na ang gamit niya at papunta ito parking lot
Si Khel naman ay lumabas na ng office ni Diva, nagsabi ito na aalis muna siya at ipabigay na lang kay Migz ang mga papeles na kailangan ng atensyon at tumango naman si Diva at lumabas ang binata sa parking.
Nakita siya dito ni Sam at nadala ng damdamin niya ang binata “putang ina mo ka khel!” Sigaw naman ni Sam at sinugod niya ang binata, galit ito at may hawaka na balisong, nagulat naman si Khel dito
“Oh shit” sabi ng binata pero nakaiwas siya sa sugod ni Sam at nilagay niya sa isang sleeer hold si Sam, nabitawan naman ni Sam ang patalim at unti unti itong nawalan ng malay sa bisig ni Khel
“Go sleep, sleep” sabi ni Khel habang nawawalan ng malay ang binata, binitawan naman ni Khel ito ng dumating ang security team at nakita nila ang ginagawa ng binata kay Sam
“Sir, tama na po iyan” sabi ng team at pinakawalan siya ni Khel at tumayo at pinagpag ang sarili niya, ngumiti ito sa security team “paalisin niyo na yan, balak pa ata pumatay eh” sabi ni Khel at sumakay ito kanyang Mercedes Benz G-Wagon
Umalis naman na si Khel at nagmessage ito kay Karina “Yeobo, I won’t go to the office muna, I’ll just do something and I’ll see you sa bahay, pahatid ka na lang kay Migz” sabi ni Khel at tumango naman si Karina
“Sige po Jagi ko, be careful po ah, how did the board meeting go?” Sabi ni Karina at sumagot naman si Khel. “It went well my Yeobo, I’ll tell you all about it later pag-uwi” sabi naman ni Khel
Nagmaneho ngayon ang binata papunta sa mall at alam niya kung saan niya gustong pumunta. Sa isang sikat na jewelry shop nagtungo ang binata at ngumiti ito sa sales lady at binati siya nito.
“Good morning sir! How can I help you today?” Sabi ng isang saleslady at ngumiti naman si Khel “hi there, I need to see your most expensive engagement rings sana” sabi ni Khel at ngumitinaman ang saleslady
“Well sir anong brand po ba ang gusto ninyo? What style? And ilang carats po ba? Also sir magkano ang budget” sabi ng saleslady at ngumiti lang naman si Khel at tumango
“Like I said, yung pinaka mahal ninyo, for brands meron ba kayong cartier or bvlgari or tiffany andco? The carats depend on the design and ganun din ang style pero I’m looking for princess cut and pear cut na diamonds” sabi naman ni Khel
“Ah sir, ilan po ba bibilin po natin? We could close down the shop as you look if ilalabas natin ang big jewels po natin” sabi ng saleslady at tumango naman ang binata “alright, I have lots of time naman, I plan to buy two” sabi ni Khel at tumango ang saleslady.
“Sige po sir, take a seat po muna kayo, we’ll just get the rings po and we’ll close the door muna” sabi ng saleslady at tumango naman si Khel at sinenyasan ng saleslady ang guard at sinara muna ng guard ang grills at nilock ang door
Nilabas naman ng dalaga ang anim na singsing, tatlong princess cut at tatlong pear shaped pero nilabasan niya din ng dalawang cushion shape na engagement ring si Khel at ngumiti ito sa kanya
“Here po sir, we have two from Cartier, ito pong isang princess cut at isang pear cut, from Bvlgari naman po I have here three, one princess cut, one pear cut at isang cushion, for tiffany po may isa po tayo with cushion cut and last po ay local po natin for princess and pear cut” sabi ng sales lady
“Okay remove the local, I’ll get them na to support the local businesses, also tell me which among the princess cut is the most expensive” sabi ni Khel sa sales lady na tinabi na ang dalawang locally made jewels
“Cartier sir has the most expensive price, valued at four hundred thousand and with taxes it should be around four hundred twenty thousand pesos, the carat is what makes it expensive with 20 karat diamond on it and on a white gold band with little two carat gold around it” sabi ng sales lady at tumango si Khel
“Okay I’ll take the cartier for the princess cut, for the pear and cushion which would you suggest?” Sabi naman ni Khel habang tinatabi ng saleslady ang mga napili ni Khel at ngumiti naman ito
“I would suggest sir yung Tiffany and Co na cushion, its worth the same with the Cartier one pero different design lang, the pear shape of Bvlgari kasi costs three hundred thousand lang…
