I'll Live With You #1: MICHAENG part 5

Tahimik lang si Mina habang pinaghahanda siya ng agahan ni Chae. Nakasimangot siya at iritado.

Mina: Hindi ka ba aalis?

Chae: Hindi

Mina: Bakit hindi ka busy?

Chae: Hindi din

Mina: Bakit???

Chae: Bakit? Gusto mo bang solohin itong condo ko? As far as I know, nakikitira ka lang rito.

Mina: I know that fact, pero bakit hindi ka aalis? Diba may work ka?

Chae: nag day off ako ngayon.

Mina: Wow, ikaw na ba taga-decide ng day off mo?

Chae: Shut up. I took a day off because of you.

Mina shut up. Dahil sa kanya? She arched her eyebrows and look at him intently.

Mina: And why is that?

Chae: Hindi mo ba naalala?

Mina: Ang alin?

Chae: You dreamt last night.

Mina: ako?

Chae: You didn't remember?

Mina: Seriously? 95% of our dreams are quickly forgotten as soon as we wake up. Wala akong maaala.

Chae: You're lying.

Tinitingnan niyang mabuti kung seryoso ba si Mina sa sinasabi nito o nagpapaggap siyang hindi niya maalala. Knowing Mina, she's a cunning deceitful woman he ever met.

Mina: At hindi mo na ako kailangang handaan ng agahan. Nang sabihin kong titira ako rito, I mean I will live here like an owl.

Chae: An owl?

Mina: hindi gumagala. Hindi lumalabas. Wag mo nalang akong pansinin kapag nakikita mo ako. I don't have any intention to hang out and talked to you.

Tumayo siya sa kinauupuan at naglakad palayo sa kanya papunta sa kwarto.

Hindi makapaniwalang pinanood ni Chaeyoung ang pagmamaldita ng dalaga.

Chae: huh! Siya na nga itong nakikitira, siya pa tong maldita?

Gusto niyang ihagis ang sandok sa pintuan ng pinasukang kwarto ni Mina pero kinalma niya ang sarili.

Napasandal si Mina sa pintuan matapos niyang magwalk out.

Mina: Di bale ng magutom ako....wag ko lang siya makausap.

Kinakalma niya ang puso niyang nagpapabilisan sa pagtibok dahil sa pagsagot niya kay Chaeyoung.

She can vividly remember her dream last night, so is Chaeyoung's comfort. She hated the fact that he comforted her this time...not just like what he did back then.

Sa tuwing nakikita niya si Chaeyoung, maski marinig nag boses nito o maramdaman siya, naaalala niya ang dilim ng kahapon.

She can stilll remember the horror of what happened. It pains her everytimr Chaeyoung had the chance to comfort her. She also hated that fact that she had no choice but to bear the pain.

But she has to endure all of that pain and horror to fulfill her needs. Kailangan niya ng matitirhan dahil sa pagkick out sa kanya ng magulang niya.

Mina: Bakit ba kasi hindi pa tumigil si Mama sa pagmatch samin? She will never understand..I feared to be with him again.

Mina was left with two options before deciding to barge into his condo.

>>

Mina's mom: Kapag hindi mo binalikan ang anak ni Mr. Son, hindi ka rin makakabalik rito. You either get back to him or you'll be out in this house.

Mina: Ma, hindi ko na siya babalikan.

Mina's mom: Then, you better pack your things and get out of here. Wala akong anak na suwail.

Sigurado na siyang hindi niya babalikan si Chaeyoung kaya naman nag empake siya ng gamit at saka umalis sa bahay nila. She has two houses to go to. Momo and Sana's. But since Sana is in her social mobilization activity, she went straight to Momo. Then, after a week, nalaman niya na nakafreeze ang cards niya at nacut ang ibang card niya.

But she has her personal card. She used that to help Momo in their living expenses. But....Momo got a death threat from her mom. At dahil ayaw niyang mapahamak ang kaibigan, umalis siya sa bahay nito.

<<

She was left no choice. Wala na siyang ibang matatakbuhan. Kahit alam niyang babangungutin siya gabi gabi dahil kay Chaeyoung, kailangan niyang magtiis.

Mina: I need to find a job.
