After All: Eccentric Collection No.1

Chapter 27

E.C. 1

(That Night: Last part. Run to the light.)

Her eyes are wide open but hard to see things clearly. She feel like a blind. Brooding with fears and anxious, she tried to refuse to the man's motive. Ngunit gaya ng isang pusa na animo'y pinagtatanggol ang sarili sa nangangahas na halimaw, naging balewala ito.

The man devilishly smirked when he realized that the lady lost her consciousness after he hardly slapped her.

Ilang segundo pa nyang pinasadahan ang kabuuan ng babae sa nagdidilim na kwarto.
Walang karapatan ang taong katulad nya na mamuhay ng payapa dahil sa buhay na pinili nito. At hindi nalalayo sa kanya si Lourdrx. He gritted his teeth in silent fury.

Inggit, selos at galit ang lumulukob sa kanya para sa Willson. He bend down to the bed.

"You don't have the rights to be happy."

He started touching the woman's body.

"You don't deserve to be loved."

Yumuko sya sa leeg nito. He closed his eyes when he sniffed the sweet scents from it.

"You're a big mistake."

Dagdag pa nito na pawang kausap nya ang batang Willson.

He reached the face of the lady and watch her lips for awhile. Salamat sa mga pagkulog na may kasamang pagkidlat dahil mas lalo lamang umusbong ang galit nito sa lalaki.

"You're a gorgeous woman. But if it's meant to happen that you two need to be together, then it is destined to break you both. So unlucky."

He stared to her wet lips and about to kiss it when he interrupted by the noise of his phone.

He rolled his eyes and get the call.

"Goddamn it Arc! Come over here! Now!"

He gripped the phone in irritation. But before he leave the room, he looked again to the woman.

A sudden feeling of shame and guilt invade him. Pero mabilis nya din itong binalewala. For what? He already hurt the woman. At isa pa, wala syang mapapala sa ganong klaseng emosyon. Shaking his head in self disappointment, he left the room.

Naglabas ng sama ng loob ang madilim at maingay na kalangitan. Bumagsak sa lupa ang mabibigat na pagpatak ng ulan. Para bang nakikisama ang panahon sa mga nangyayari. Ilang oras itong nagtagal at tumila rin kasabay ng pagsilip ng haring araw.

Nagising ang dalaga. Naramdaman nya sa katawan ang sakit gayundin ang maselang gitnang bahagi nito nang igalaw nya ang mga hita. Nang mapagtanto ang mga ala alang naganap lang sa nakalipas na ilang oras, agad syang humayo palabas. She can't help but to let herself cries silently while looking for the entrance to exit.

Nagawa nyang makalabas sa malawak na lugar at narating ang malaking gate nito nang walang humaharang sa dalaga.
