Kabanata 30:
Heartbreak
Isabella Danisse's Point of View
"Be strong, Danisse. Tara puntahan," nakatulala lang ako habang sinasabi iyon ni Threscia at naramdaman ko na hinawakan niya ang kamay ko upang hilahin ako patayo. Kinuha ko ang phone ko.
Walang buhay akong napatayo hanggang sa maramdaman ko na lang na naglalakad na ako palabas sa kwarto ni Threscia.
Hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala sa nakita ko. How can they do this to me? I trusted them, especially Kristen. I treated her like my own sister but this will I get in return?
How could she? She knows that Luis is my long-time boyfriend and he's important to me but she did this without any fear.
"That b*tch! She's getting into my nerves," Olive murmured while we are walking down to the grand staircase. Huminga ako ng malalim at kinalma ang sarili ko. I need to be strong so that I can face them. Ipapakita ko sa kanila kung paano magalit ang isang mabait. Niloko nila ako.
"Una pa lang, hindi na talaga maganda ang pakiramdam ko sa malanding iyan. Arghh, I can't believe that she's staying at our condo. May gana pa siyang mag-send ng picture, that two-faced b*tch," a hint of irritation is shown in Threscia's voice. Nang makababa kami ay sinalubong kami nila Tito kaya napatigil kami saglit.
"Mommy, we need to go to Qiao's Condo. May gagawin lang kami," kaagad na paalam ni Threscia kay Tita Therese. Kumunot naman ang noo ni Tita dahil sa narinig.
"At this hour? It's already past 9 pm, princess. It's dangerous outside," Tito Sandro spoke.
"Daddy, this is urgent. Luis is cheating," sa sinabing iyon ni Threscia ay napasinghap silang dalawa. Lumipat sa akin ang tingin nila Tito.
"Luis? You mean, your long-time boyfriend, anak? Oh goodness, gracious. How can this happen?" Hindi makapaniwalang sambit ni Tita Therese dahilan para mapabuntong-hininga lang ako.
"That b*tch Kristen happened, Mommy. She's at our condominium with Luis," si Threscia ang tumugon para mapasinghap ulit sila.
"Fine but go with Zihao. I'll call him," Tito Sandro suggested and Threscia just nodded. Tito Sandro dialed something on his phone and it's ringing. Kaagad niya itong tinapat sa tenga niya at nagsalita ng Chinese.
"Zi háo, jīntiān dài nǚ'ér qù ba," I heard Tito Sandro spoke.
"Daddy said that Zihao must go with me today," Threscia translated which made me nodded. 'Yon pala ang ibig sabihin niya. Maya-maya ay mabilis namang natapos ang tawag.
"He's outside now, take care ladies," napatingin sa amin si Tito nang sabihin niya iyon. Ngumiti kami sa kaniya at nagpaalam na. Paglabas namin ay may isang makisig at maputing lalaki na naghihintay at nakasandal ito sa Bentley Limousine.
He's wearing a simple black shirt that intensifies his muscles and he paired it with black jeans. Nang makita niya kami ay umayos ito ng tayo at bahagya siyang yumuko kay Threscia. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ang pogi nitong bodyguard ni Threscia.
"Good eve, Zihao," Threscia greeted. Mabuti naman at nakakaintindi ng English itong si Zihao.
"Good evening too, my lady," Zihao replied in a baritone voice and opened the backseat for us. Nauna namang pumasok si Threscia at sumunod naman kami. Nang makapasok na kaming lahat ay marahan na sinara ni Zihao ang pinto.
Sinundan ko lang siya ng tingin habang umiikot siya patungo sa driver's seat. Pumasok siya roon at agad na pinaandar ang makina ng sasakyan.
"Qiao's Heights, Zihao," ani ni Threscia kay Zihao.
