Isla Fontana Series #1: Stolen Heart (COMPLETED)

Chapter 22 (Marry Me)

CHAPTER 22

"HE'S not home yet..." bulong ni Thea sa sarili.

Bagot na bagot siyang napabuntong-hininga. He miss Zach a lot. She noticed that he's been busy these past few weeks. Minsan ay uuwi itong tulog na siya at aalis na tulog pa rin siya.

"I miss him." She pouted her lips.

"Do you want me to take you where he is?" Thea automatically looked at Drew.

Drew really became her personal bodyguard. He's very friendly. He smiled a lot but there's something on him that she couldn't explain. Ang aura nito ay katulad ng aura ni Zach noong una niyang makilala ang kasintahan. Misteryoso.

Malapad siyang napangiti.

"Talaga?" excited niyang tanong.

Tumango ito.

"Get dressed, Miss Thea. I will take you there. Don't tell him that it's my idea, he will get mad at me," natatawang sabi nito at napakamot sa ulo.

"I promise, I won't," excited niyang tugon at pumasok ng kuwarto.

Mabilis siyang nagbihis habang may ngiti sa mga labi. Nang nasa biyahe na ay dinaldalan niya si Drew.

"Why are you helping me, anyways?" curious na tanong niya sa lalaki.

Drew looked at her from the rearview mirror.

"You look depressed, Miss Thea. I can see how you miss him a lot." Mahina itong natawa.

She pouted her lips.

"Paano kasi ang busy niya nitong mga nakaraang araw at—"

"He is doing this for you," agaw nito sa sasabihin niya.

Natigilan siya.

"F-For me?"

Tumango ito.

"Yes, for you, Miss Thea." Nakatutok ang mga mata nito sa daan.

Kumunot ang noo niya.

"Paano mo nasabing para sa akin itong ginagawa niya?" mahinang tanong niya.

"Dahil mahal ka niya, dahil gusto ka niyang palayain at dahil gusto ka niyang protektahan. That is Zaccheus Velasquez. No one can stop him. You've stolen his heart." Nakita niya ang pagngiti nito mula sa rearview mirror.

"Kung ganoon ay...alam mo rin kung paano niyang minahal si Eunice noon?" she asked again in a low voice.

She's pertaining to Zach's ex-girlfriend. Hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin mawala sa isip niya ang litratong nakita niya noon sa isla.

Tipid lang itong ngumiti.

"He gave everything to Eunice before. Eunice was his best friend. They were friends, a very strong friendship and they ended up dating each other but Eunice betrayed him in the end." Natahimik siya sa narinig.

She didn't know that Eunice was Zach's best friend. Hanggang ngayon ay wala pa ring sinasabi si Zach tungkol sa pagkatao ni Eunice though they sometimes talked about her but she knew that Zach is not ready to talk about his past yet.

Hindi na siya muling nagsalita pa.

"Are you jealous, Miss Thea?" Drew asked.

"H-Ha?" nabibiglang tanong niya.

Drew let out a short laugh.

"Huwag kang magselos. Ikaw lang ang mahal no'n. Baliw si Zach sa'yo, Miss Thea." Muli ay mahina itong natawa.
