SASKIA'S POV
I REALLY DON'T want to be stirred by my own anger. But if there is something responsible for these actions, it's not just me alone. There's something inside me that makes it hard for me to stay in control. It's hard to explain it, but it's definitely there.
There's this one factor, na nagpapalala nito.
"I will kill her with my own hands, Tristan."
My stare became stone-cold as I declare that.
His eyes was tinged with discernment. Hindi nawala ang tingin niya sa 'kin, kulang nalang ay ako na ang magboluntaryong iwasan iyon dahil wala talaga siyang balak kumalas doon. Parang sinusuri niya kung ano ang nasa isip ko ngayon.
Bago ko pa man tuluyang iwasan iyon, biglang umangat ang kanang kamay niya sa noo ko at pinitik ito.
"Ouch!" I hissed. Mabilis akong napasapo sa aking noo. Nagising naman ang diwa ko at muling napatingin sa kaniya.
What was that even for!?
"Do you even hear yourself now?"
As if he was scolding me.
Parang kanina lang ay gusto kong umiyak dahil sa pag-agos ng mga alaala na 'yon sa isipan ko. Ngunit ngayon ay parang matutuluyan na yata ako. My forehead wrinkled, tears were half-way on my eyes when I sulked in front of him.
Masakit 'yon!
"What's with the tears? I just want you to get back to reality,"
Thanks to that, the pain really struck me back to my reality. Mahina lang naman 'yong pitik niya ngunit para sa 'kin malakas 'yon! Comparing how wide his hands than mine, mas malakas ang force na mayroon siya.
"Put yourself back together first, you won't want to be controlled by your own emotions again,"
I stopped sulking down.
"My bad," I almost whispered.
"Learn to manage that. You don't have a choice... and neither I can do anything about that," he reminded as he sighed. "Just remember the phrase from the headmistress before,"
A... phrase? Iyon ba 'yong sinabi niya sa 'kin noong una kaming nagkita sa likod ng library?
"She knew something about my case?" I asked. In the first place, bakit niya alam na konektado sa mga negatibong emosyon ko ang mga hindi magandang aksyon na maaari kong magawa?
"I can't answer that,"
"Bakit? You have the connection with her,"
Saglit siyang natahimik. "What do you think about her? This is a genuine question,"
