"Your hyung and my clan agreed to arrange our marriage, so Railey, even if you wanted to get away from me, no use. You are mine, your hyung sold you to us" I wiped away my tears while reminiscing Damon's words.
Hyung sold me? Am I a thing for him? Am I one of his properties?
'Believe in hyung, Ray' Yeah. I believed in him, I fucking believed and this, this happened. I thought im precious for him, he said Im the only family he has but why? why he did this, and of all, why Silver clan? Why the enemy of our family. Why hyung? Whatever your reason is hyung, I hate you!
"Railey, you sure you dont want to go to clinic?" Maggy and Ally have been repeating that for a hundred times and as for me, i've declined for a hundred times too. "You can go to class now, I just need to rest." matamlay kong sabi.
"Okay, may iniwan kaming gamot dyan. If you're not really feeling well, please contact us" I nodded and I turned my back to them. Nang makaalis na sila ay umayos ako ng pagkakahiga at pinakatitigan ang kisame. The tears that im holding back started to flow again.
So ganto na lang matatapos ang storya ng buhay ko? I laughed and forcefully wiped the tears again.
I heard the clicking of the door kaya naman agad akong tumalikod at nagpanggap na natutulog. Not Damon please! Paulit ulit kong dasal. Naramdaman ko ang pag upo nya sa tabi ko.
"I know you're not sleeping Ramirez" he said coldly. "Your roommates said that you're not feeling well." At naramdaman ko ang pagkilos nya. "Im okay" i insisted. Ngunit isang kamalian ata ang ginawa kong pagsagot.
"You're crying" at agad nya akong iniharap sa kanya "Im not. I have a cold" pagsisinungaling ko. He gently wiped the side of my eyes. "A-are you okay?" he asked.
"You dont need to know" Sagot ko. "Why are you crying?" he asked back. "You can leave now" pagtataboy ko sa kanya. "Fuck Railey!" I pushed him away. "Why do you even care Andrada? Well, in fact you hated me to death right? I chose him over you, I stepped on your damn ego"
"That's why Im here Ramirez, to ask you why you chose him over me .... over us. I wanted to get mad, but I dont fucking understand myself cause I just ... cant." he calmly said, whispering the last words. Naihilamos ko ang kamay ko out of frustration at di ko na napigilan ang pagtulo uli ng aking luha. "Fine, im not okay" my words almost inaudible.
I felt his arms around me, he's hugging me. "Cry if that's what you need" he whispered and I let myself drown into my own tears. Just this time, lemme borrow his strength, let him be my crying shoulder, just this time.
Hindi ko alam kung ilang minuto akong umiiyak, ang alam ko lang, di ako binitiwan at iniwanan ni Andrada.
"You better eat this" then he opened the wrap of tuna sandwich and fed me. "I can eat by myself" but he insisted. He continues to fed me. Pinilit kong tumayo upang magbanyo ng bigla akong mahilo na ikinatumba ko ngunit ang binagsakan ko ay isang katawan.
I looked up and Andrada is looking at me worriedly. Aalis na sana ako sa pagkakadagan ko sa kanya but he wrapped his arms around me. At nasa ganoong posisyon kami nang may magbukas ng pinto.
"Oh sorry, we should have knocked first" Wika ni Maggy. I looked at Andrada na nakatitig pa rin sa akin. "Will you let me go?" I asked. And he hugged me tighter. "Let me go Andrada" I said but he smirked and did not let me go. "Woah bro, I did not know that you're this fast" Johan said. And finally he let me go at mabilis na tumayo. Inalalayan naman ako nila Maggy sa pagtayo.
"Sorry, di naming sinasadyang istorbohin kayo" nakayukong sabi ni Ally but obviously, she's smiling. Everyone is smiling. "What?" inis kong tanong.
"What's the party all about?" said by the uninvited guest. Tumahimik naman ang paligid. I looked at him, he's looking at me, too. Nang mapansin nyang galing ako sa pag iyak ay agad syang lumapit at hinaplos ang aking mukha.
"What's wrong?" he asked worriedly. I almost laugh at his actions. Looks like he really cares for me but no, he doesnt. I know it. He only wanted me cause of that damn contract they made with hyung, he only wanted me because of my name. Because im a dela Merzed.
"Saan mo sya dadalhin?" Xenon asked nang hilahin ako ni Damon palabas. "You dont need to know" singit ko. Kumunot naman ang noo ni Xenon sa ginawa kong pagsagot.
"We're going on a .... date" Damon said proudly at tuluyan nya na akong hinila palabas ng dorm.
