Wounded Heart (Heart Series #1)

Chapter 27

Chapter 27

I cried all night thinking what I have done to experience this kind of pain. I thought he would understand me just like what he promised. This is why I never wanted to live away from him. If I could only turn my back from my family, I would choose to stay with him. What hurts me the most is that I tried everything to keep up with him. Sinubukan ko lahat pero nauwi rin sa wala. He chose to cheat on me.

Fourth of October, my sun left me alone in the dark with nothing but a wounded heart. Iniwan ako ng taong minahal ko nang higit sa sarili ko. Gustong-gusto kong magalit sa kanya pero mas nagagalit ako sa sarili ko. I am a fool for letting a man destroy the woman I've been. Ang tanga ko para magpaloko sa mga matatamis na pangako. I wanted to blame him but I can't because I still fucking love him. Tangina, siya ang may ginawang kasalanan pero pakiramdam ko ako 'yong nagkulang. Hindi ko magawang magalit sa kanya. Kaya ko siyang sumbatan pero mas nananaig pa rin 'yong pagmamahal ko sa kanya. I was too blinded by this love that I forgot to guard my own heart.

From Kuya Rio:

Are you busy? I got some news about Ate Jasmine.

I didn't expect to receive a message from Kuya Rio. Kinabahan tuloy ako bigla. What if they Kuya had a child with her? Why did she kept it from Kuya? He has the rights to know about his child.

From Kuya Rio:

Puwede kitang puntahan sa condo mo.

Hindi pa nga ako nakaka-reply ay may text message na uli siya. Wala pa nga palang nakakaalam sa nangyari sa amin ni Altair. I would tell them about it pero hindi muna agad.

To Kuya Rio:

I am here in Tagaytay. Just fetch me here, I'll wait for you.

I put on concealer underneath my eyes so they won't notice that I cried. I also let my hair down so their focus won't be in my face.

"So, what's up?" si Kuya Rigel.

Kuya Rio rolled his eyes. "Shut the fuck up, Rigel. It's 10 pm. Anyways, I've got some news."

I was still preoccupied because of what happened earlier. I just can't believe that he would do that to me. Out of those people around me, he's the last person I thought that would leave me. But it turns out that he's just like the rest. Iniwan niya rin ako pagsapit ng dilim. Sabi niya, naiintindihan niya ako. I've always thought that we were on the same page. Ang sakit isipin na 'yong taong minahal ko, lolokohin lang pala ako. Parang paulit-ulit kong nakikita 'yong eksenang 'yon. Sa tuwing pipikit ako, 'yon ang nakikita ko.

"Hey, Trixie!" Kuya Rio snapped his fingers in front of me.

"H-Huh?" I just realized that I am already crying. I swiftly wiped my tears before looking at them. "What were you saying again?"

"Are you okay?"

I nodded slowly. "What were you guys saying?"

"I said I made a dummy account to stalk Ate Jasmine's social media accounts. There I saw a picture of a baby that she posted." He then showed me the screenshot of what he saw.

itsjv: I love you, my Zey Alcor

Damn. The boy looks like a little version of Kuya. And his name, I bet it came from Zephyrus Alcor, Kuya's name. I wonder if Kuya saw this already.

"I am sure that he's really Kuya's child. We have to tell this to Kuya Zyrus now. He has all the rights to know about this! And while he's still in Spain, we have to find Ate Jasmine," seryosong saad ko.

"We have to know the reason why she kept their son."

"She won't do that, Rigel. They broke up, remember? Ang ikinatatakot ko lang ay baka umuwi nang hindi oras si Kuya Zeph. He'll surely get furious when he knew about this."
