Bad Hearthrobs

Chapter 36

Tyrus' POV

I'm now walking all alone the street. And luckily I saw a small store 5 meters away from me, then I went near the store.

"Ate, may bulak po kayo? Tsaka betadine?" Tanong ko sa magtitinda.

"Meron po iho!"

"Pabili nga po." Sambit ko bago ko binigay yung bayad ko.

Pagkabigay na pagkabigay saakin, I didn't expect someone will come near me.

"Asaan ka galing?" Tanong niya na pagalit.

"Gelai?"

"Halika nga dito!" Sambit niya habang hinihila yung tenga ko.

"Aray aray aray! Gelai!"

A few minutes passed by, nakarating kami sa bahay ko at agad niya along pinaupo sa sofa.

"Ako na gagamot ng sugat mo!" Sambit niya habang kinukuha yung bulak at betadine.

"I can manage myself!" Pagtanggi ko.

"TJ! Wag kang makulit! Ako na gagamot ng sugat mo!"

"I'm used to it Gelai! I always clean my wounds by myself!"

"Gagamutin ko yan o dadagdagan ko pa yang sugat mo?!"

Gosh! What the hell is wrong with her?! So I have no choice but to give her the cotton and the betadine.

She poured it in the cotton, and placed it near my wounded lip.

"Ikaw! Nakikipag bugbugan ka nanaman! Diba sinabihan na kita!" Sambit niya habang pinipisil yung bulak sa sugat ko.

"ARAY! GELAI! MASAKIT!"

"Tapos aangal ka ng masakit?!"

"Alangan! Pinisil mo eh!"

"Ang kulit mo rin kasi eh! Kaninang kanina pa ako nag aalala sayo! Alam mo ba di ako makapali sa bahay kanina simula nung umalis si Damian! Tawag ako ng tawag sayo, di ka man lang sumagot!" Panermon niya saakin.

"Sorry na Gelai." Tanging sambit ko lang habang nakayuko.

"Sa susunod na malalaman ko nankaipagsuntukan ka, ako mismo magdagdag ng sugat mo." Pagbanta niya saakin.

You know that's why I love Gelai. She's been very concerned to me. Even though I'm a jack***.

While she cleans my wound, I couldn't help but stare at her. She's really beautiful. How on earth would I not love her.

"Gelai..." Pagtawag ko sakanya.

"Thank you ah..."

"Kung di lang kita mahal, hindi sana kita gaganyanin." Sambit niya na ikinalaki ng mata ko.

"Gelai?"

"Hindi ko na uulitin!" Sambit niya bago tumalikod saakin.

"Gelai, please. I didn't understand." Pagpalusot ko. Honestly, I wanted her to say that again, cause it feels good to hear it.

My heart started to beat really fast.

"Ang sabi ko, hindi ko yan gagawin sayo kung di kita mahal!" I smiled and suddenly hugged her really tight.

"OY TJ! DI AKO MAKAHINGA!"

"I love you Gelai! Gelai, I love you so much!" Sambit ko habang yinayakap pa siya.

Nang makabitaw ako sa pagyakap, agad kong inayos yung buhok niya bago ko siya halikan sa ulo niya.

"Gelai, I wanted to ask you kung pwede kitang ligawan?" Tanong ko na nakangiti.

"Hindi pwede!" Sambit niya na ikinakunot ng noo ko.

"Hindi pwede! Dahil sinasagot na kita!"

"YES!!" Sigaw ko lang bago ko siya yakapin ulit.

"TJ! Akin ka lang ha?"

"Sayong sayo lang ako Gelai."

Pagkalas namin ng yakap, I simply cupped her cheeks and pressed my lips against hers.

Riku's POV

I still couldn't forget when they mentioned the "Alfonso" surname.

I'm having flashbacks with my ex girlfriend who just stabbed my arm when we were in a relationship. Or should I say, toxic relationship.

But the thing is, I saw her again. Which made became very nervous.

Flashback

"Tsaka si Ino, she told me before that she's been going through a lot with her elder sister who doesn't even show up to her." Pagkwento ni Link.

I suddenly remembered my ex girlfriend. And flashbacks of her stabbing my arm makes me feel scared that it almost caused me to cry.

"You alright Riku?" Tanong ni Tyrus.

"Excuse me." Sambit ko lang bago maglakad palayo sakanila.

I don't know why I left. But I'm getting really scared of having a chance to see her again.

"Hey Riku." I suddenly looked at the girl who called me.

"Asami..."

"Asami Nina Alfonso, at your service." Sambit niya na nakangiti.

"You know what Riku, I have been a bad girlfriend to you. Why won't we get back together? Just like old times?" Sambit niya habang lumalapit saakin.

I got scared and I suddenly ran away from her.

End of flashback

Asami Nina Alfonso. My ex girlfriend who is very abusive.

"AHHH!!" I screamed in pain while being stabbed in the arm.

"Hiwalay man tayo o hindi, akin ka pa rin!"

"AAHHHHH!!!" I screamed with fear and started bursting tears in my eyes.

I don't want to see her again. Call me a coward, but it's true. Everytime I remember Asami, I get scared easily.

"Riku! What happened?!" Pagsulpot ni Hazel na mukhang nag aalala.

I couldn't answer, and I kept crying with fear.

"Riku, is something bothering you? Tell me please." Sambit niya na nag aalala saakin.

"It's nothing. I only had a bad dream." Sabi ko habang pinunas ang mga luha ko.

"You can go back to bed now."

"Riku... dito muna ako sa tabi mo. I know something's bothering you."

She lay down in bed and hugged me from my back.

I don't know why she did that, but I feel safe with her.

"Hazel."

"Riku... just call me Cordelia." I don't know why, but I started to feel butterflies in my stomach.

"Riku, I think it's time to tell you the truth."

"What is it?"

We both sat down in my bed and she held my face and glared at me.

"Riku. Ever since I met you, I always have so many thoughts in my mind about you. Do I really trust you? Do I have feelings for you? And I'm about to tell you this. Riku Guevarra, I have feelings for you. "

I didn't hesitate to kiss her passionately as she did the same thing.

We kept kissing each other until we suddenly need to catch our breaths.

"Sorry."

"You don't need to be. It's better that you gave me that kiss instead of my ex. You're lucky hindi ko pa siya nahahalik." Sambit niya na ikinatuwa namin.

I simply held her face and kissed her lips again. But it's only a smooch.

"Thank you... Cordelia."
