CHAPTER 46

Trouble

I woke up when I heard a loud ringing coming from my phone. "Hello?" I answered with my sleepy voice.

"This is *** Hospital. You friend, Zyrus Israel Monticello got into an accident by 2 pm in the morning. He's been drunk driving and collided with a four wheeler truck. You are the last person he called"

"Okay, I'll be right there" I put some clothes on and immediately went out. That asshole! He's careless again!

I drove to the nearest hospital and when I arrived the nurse made me fill up some form before I could even see him.

I can say, this guy is still lucky that he didn't have major injuries. "Trouble" I turned to him when I heard his voice.

"Yes?"

"Give me some water" I gaved him the bottled water beside me "I want to eat" My forehead wrinkled. "Why are you bossing me arround? I'm just here 'cause the doctor called me"

"I told you already, I don't have anyone" I exhaled "What about your parents? You have them"

"No, I can't. I don't need their help"

"Of course you do! Your a depressed motherfcker who drunk drive and crashed himself to a four wheeler truck" I said full of sarcasm.

"Ah, I missed you cussing at me" I looked at him unbelievably "Seems like you're already good, I'll go now" I turned away from him.

"Wait, ouch. Are you really gonna left me like this? I promise you. I will give you everything you want. Remember when we--"

"I already told you my answer Zyrus. Wala ka ng makukuha sakin"

"Ano bang meron sa kanya na wala sakin?" I chuckled at his damn question "He never lies to me. He never leaves me. He fights beside me no matter what other people say and that's something you couldn't do"

"I know, that's why I'm trying my best to win you back so we could do what we used to do and this time, I promise you, I'll fight beside you again"

"No" I said while clenching my fist "Seems like I will never change your decision" He sighed.

"I will never disturb you again. Just come and stay with me until my daughter's birthday. By then, I won't force you and you can get back to the life you have right now"

"And when is that" I asked while crossing both of my arms "5 months from now"

"Before that five months could end, I would already lose him" He tsk-ed "Then, he doesn't deserve you. I couldn't forget you for two years but he could for 5 months. Besides, isn't this the ring you got him for his eighteenth birthday? Strange, you haven't gave me a family heirloom before"

My brows furrowed. The way he talks changed a lot as if he's being manipulative "Give me back the ring"  I commanded him and tried to reach and take back what he just stole but he immediately put it away.

"Stay with me for five months"

"No"

"Then, you will not get the ring back"

...

Rafael got home while I was eating on the sala. He didn't look at me as if I was never here and he didn't saw me. He then went to his room.

I heard some panicking inside his room and I also started worrying.

"Where are you going?" I asked him. He looked at me like he's relieved about something.

He didn't say anything and snatched my motorcycle's key "Not now Trouble"

My forehead ridged "Rafael!" I shouted but he didn't listen to me and hurriedly went out the condo.
