CHAPTER 48

LORAINE

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, Loraine? Things are no longer the same now Why? Are you in love with someone else?" Hinawakan niya ang baba ko at hinarap 'yon sa kanya.

I can easily lie, but I don't want to make things worse, so I shook my head as my tears fell.

"Then, why? What's wrong? Y-you don't love me anymore? B-but I'm still in love with you."

Mas lalong bumuhos ang luha ko.

"Don't ruin our partnership, Jackson. Please," I said.

"This isn't about our partnership, Loraine. This is our personal matter. Loraine, please. Answer me. Don't you love me?" Hindi ako sumagot. I can't lie!

"Stop..."

"Are you in love with this Klaus?" Gusto kong matawa sa tanong niya. Of course, I love Klaus. He's my son.

"Jack..."

"Anong kailangan kong gawin, Loraine? You want me to chase you again? Hmm? Sabihin mo lang. Gagawin ko." Pinagdikit niya ang noo namin kaya nangatog ang tuhod ko. Calm down, Loraine!

"I-I..." I bit my lower lip.

"I'll make you fall in love with me again." He kissed my forehead. "I'll do everything to earn your forgiveness,"

I just shook my head, trying to maintain my cool.

"Loraine..."

"Hmm?"

"I'm sorry." Kumunot ang noo ko.

"For what—" Bigla siyang may tinakip na panyo sa mukha ko. And the next thing I knew, I fell asleep.

NAGISING AKO nang maramdaman kong parang umuuga ang kinalalagyan ko. Mabilis akong umupo.

Nasaan ako?

I tried to look for my phone, pero wala 'yon. What the hell? Nasaan ba ako? Am I missing— oh, my God! Jackson did this to me? He covered my face with a handkerchief!

Nabigla ako nang bigla ko siyang makitang pumasok sa kung saan man ako naroroon. Matalim ko agad siyang tiningnan.

"Nasaan ako?" Mariin kong tanong.

"You're awake." Lumapit siya. Ganoon pa rin ang suot namin.

"Nasaan ako sabi?! At anong oras na?!" Ni hindi ko alam kung umaga na ba o gabi. Wala ring orasan dito! What the hell?

"You're not yet eating. You should eat first. Come here." May kinuha siyang pagkain sa lamesa.

"Hindi mo talaga sasagutin ang tanong ko?" I arched my brow. Tiningnan niya ako na para bang ang laki ng problema niya.

"Let's just eat first, Loraine. I'm hungry," pagod niyang sabi.

"Kumain ka mag-isa mo! Basta, uuwi ako ngayon!" Umalis ako sa kama. I really want to punch him! Parang kanina lang ay nagyayakapan kami!

"As if you can."

Kumunot ang noo ko. "Anong ibig mong sabihin?"

Tumaas ang sulok ng labi niya. "We're in the middle of the ocean..."

My eyes widened. My jaw dropped.

"Anong..."

"I'm sorry, but you can't just go home, Loraine. Didn't I tell you that I will make you fall in love with me again?" Hinampas ko ang dibdib niya.
